Summary: Zelda doesn't like a lot of things. She doesn't like her father’s rules. She doesn't like getting waterlogged in holy springs. She most definitely doesn't like her newly appointed knight. And she doesn't like to lose. So when she learns about Cucco, a game soldiers like to play in the barracks to get under each other's skin, a game in which Link is undefeated, she’s determined to come out victorious. Trouble is, Link doesn't like to lose, either. What could go wrong? (What could go right?)
rated E for sexual content, language. I will update the tags in ao3 as I post. First few chapters are tamer (T/M rating), and I'll indicate in the notes when it's earned that explicit rating.

Chapter 13
Preview:
“My, my, my, what do we have here?”
Link’s back is already to the window, careful to keep his movements slow and unbothered as he finishes tucking himself away despite the panic rising inside him and the lingering post-ecstasy wobble in his knees. There is nothing more damning than distress, and he can feel Revali’s gaze on the back of his skull like the tip of a knife.
“Revali!” Zelda replies, her voice pitched high and extra bright. “You’ve arrived!”
The Rito scoffs. “Was there any doubt?”
“No, I only meant—”
“That I’m late?”
“O-of course not. I—”
“Well, the other Champions may have the freedom to come running as soon as your father calls, but I’m extremely busy fortifying our presence in the skies as I am Hyrule’s only defense there.”
