It was an early summer morning, Legend had quickly been put to work by Malon who had wanted him to feed the horses and to water the plants on the porch.
Of course, his brothers were doing other things as well. Wind had been in charge of sweeping the floor of the deck and cleaning the bathrooms while Twilight did some heavy lifting around the ranch.
“Hey kiddo, your mother wanted me to ask you if you wanted to go to the store with her. Do you want to?”
Legend looked over and saw Time leaning against the door, putting his weight on his hand. “
Yeah, tell her I need a few minutes.”
Time nodded and was about to leave when,
“Thanks, dad.”
Legend quickly went to put the watering can away, embarrassed at the fact he finally mustered the courage to address his new father correctly.
Now he was going to be held to that standard for a while, that title was going to take some time to get used to.
He grabbed his shoes and made his way to the car.
“You ready to go? I was just wondering if you needed anything for you and Thief. If you want you can get some new clothes or just something that tickles your fancy,”
Malon said as legend hopped into the seat next to her. Legend looked around the store. Apparently you could find anything here, so he decided to look for some rabbit feed.
“Hello stranger, how can I help you today?"
Legend jumped a bit at the sudden voice, he turned to see a boy around his height wearing a purple rabbit hood, covering his face.
“Oh, I'm ok, just looking for some rabbit feed.”
The hooded boy nodded,
“Oh! Another pet owner, I have a bird named Sheerow. He's such a sweetheart, let me take you to that food.”
With that he grabbed Legends wrist and led him to one of the isles.
“Here we are, rabbit feed. My personal suggestion is this one since it has all the good stuff but costs way less. The trick here is that they hide all the best items where you don't look so you buy the expensive garbage.”
Legend nodded, “thanks, but why are you telling me? If you work here, shouldn't you be trying to not help me?”
He then noticed the lack of a name tag, weird for someone who works at a store like this.
“Oh no, I've gotta hide. Quick! Pretend you don't know me.”
With that, the purple hooded boy dashed behind a large sale sign, his shoes still visible and quite noticeable. Legend quickly kicked a crate in his direction to hide the rest of him.
“Hey kid, have you seen a boy around your age ‘round here? Wears purple, black hair? Super annoying and tries to sell you stuff?”
Legend looked over to see a large man standing over him.
“No, I haven't. Why do you want to see him anyway? If he's my age he's probably not that bad.”
The older man scoffed, “well, for one he keeps driving my customers off. Two, he's a lorulean.”
Legend wore a confused expression, “what's wrong with loruleans? I took a trip to lorule once and they are great artists and have quite an interesting culture.”
“The only kinda art they do is con art. All those Loruleans here are only interested in stealing important things and stuff. Nobody can trust them, that's why none of them should have a future in a place like this. They almost destroyed their home, who says they ain't trying to destroy ours.”
Legend gave the man a cold stare, “I am.”
His icy blue eyes cut through and the older man backed off, “Alright, if you do see him though, I'll get you a good discount on your items.”
“Fat chance.”
The man left and legend heard a sigh of relief come from the sign.
“He's gone. You can stop hiding now” Legend affirmed, watching the purple rabbit hood pop out from behind its hiding spot.
“Thank you so so much. How can I repay you mister hero!”
“Um, it's Legend. You can start by telling me your name. I wanna know who I just stuck my neck out for."
The boy removed his purple hood, revealing a pair of emerald green eyes. His hair was as dark as obsidian and sat in a wavy mop on top of his head.
“My name is Ravio. I really mean it when I say thank you. Not many people will stick out for my kind of people. Not after they stole your relics.”
“Don't worry about it. I shouldn't matter where you're from, we're all people and we're all alike.”
Ravio smiled, “here, I've been saving this for someone and, well, I thought I could give this to you. I think you'll take good care of it.”
He handed Legend a gold bracelet with a pink jewel in the center.
“Thanks, it's really nice. Hey, it kinda matches my hair.”
Ravio nodded, “that's what I was thinking! We should meet up again, mister hero. I still owe you a ton for saving me from that guy.”
With that, Ravio left the store, waving at Legend through the window. As legend reached his hand out to wave back he felt a tap on his shoulder.
“Did you find everything you were looking for ok?” Legend turned around and saw his mother with a full shopping cart.
“Oh yeah, here's Thiefs feed. Should last him a few months.” Malon nodded, “who's your new friend?”
“His name's Ravio, he's really nice.” Legend smiled a bit, “yeah… I mean, not really.”
He was desperately trying to fix his little mistake, feeling his face turn the same shade of pink as his hair as malon started to laugh.
“It's ok sweetheart, I have a husband and a son with a girlfriend. I think I know when a guy likes someone. Don't worry, your little crush is safe with me.”
Legend's face held a amused look, knowing shee probably tell her husband, “alright, thanks mom.”
Will raviolink be apart of the modern au? It's one of my favorite lu ships.
Also sorry about anon mode I don't like asking with my account showing up. <3
Congrats on being the 1st ask for the new year
Also, do you have mind reading powers because I was literally thinking about writing it for one of the legend chapters. It won't be a super big plot thing but will be referenced and have a few dedicated fics.
poor wind! Why did he decide to leave outset Island? And why did that boat take 2 years to land in the mainland?
Love the au and your not getting as much credit as you should! Me and my friends all love it but we don't have Tumblr accounts since we aren't super good at posting amazing work like yours.
The boat was hijacked and a few kids were taken. The boat was then locked in a remote harbor for a bit then continued trying to get as many kids to the mainland without anymore trouble. Also, traveling by boat is really slow and the island was really far to begin with.
Anon, these words are so kind :] but don't think that just because someone you enjoy is doing something good doesn't mean that you don't have other things that another person might want to see. Even if it's only a small bit. I wish that you are able to find that something and be confident in it. Have a good day/night and I hope to hear from you or your friends again!
Enjoy wind fans (though he's only mentioned he gets more backstory revealed here!)
Legends' first few nights were not too bad. Other than the occasional strange feeling or the awkwardness between him and Twilight, things were slowly starting to get into a routine.
He'd wake up with the others, which was quite early, they'd eat breakfast and when his two new roommates would leave for school, he'd help Malon with the dishes and wait for her to leave.
Time had the luxury of going to work a bit later and would help legend settle in a bit before leaving as well.
He'd do a bit of schoolwork on his computer, malon decided not to register him with Twi’s school just yet since the year was almost over anyway.
It was unfamiliar but he was sure he'd feel at home eventually. He had to, he didn't want them to suspect anything was wrong, not after everything they were doing for him.
He felt himself just getting annoyed at little things, he knew he missed his uncle. He wanted to be back at the orchard, but there was no bringing him back.
He found himself by a river in the nearby woods one day, skipping rocks and passing the time till someone came home. It was peaceful, calm, and uninterrupted.
“There you are! I've been looking all over for you. What are you doing here?”
Legend whipped his head around and saw Twilight standing behind him, a not so pleased expression on his face.
Legend rolled his eyes and went back to his leisurely activity.
“Well, don't ignore me. Look I know you're new here and I'm not trying to be overbearing, it's just not good to be out here alone. One of my moms students wandered in here and was almost attacked by some wild creature.”
Legend looked back, “how do I know you're not making this up just to keep me from ruining things for you. Let's not pretend we're best friends, ok? I'm not trying to cause trouble for your family.”
Twilight sat down next to him, “Sorry, I just don't want you to get hurt. I may have not been the most approachable person back then, but we're brothers now and I need to step up.”
Legend scoffed and looked at his hands. He couldn't just let go of his past. Twilight was acting ridiculous, he wasn't mean to him, they just never had a reason to talk.
“Don't take this wrong but, you're acting a bit like Wind.”
Legend snapped his head towards Twilight, “What do you mean? Wind is like, I don't know, the happiest kid on the planet. I'm just a big mess."
Twilight laughed a bit, “No no, he is. He always knows how to cheer people up. He's trying really hard to make you feel welcome. I'm sure mom and dad have told you he's adopted."
Legend nodded, not knowing where the conversation was going.
“He used to live on a small island, with his grandma and sister. Well, he said they were his grandma and sister, I think the grandma was a sort of caretaker. Anyway, one day there was a boat taking orphaned kids here to the mainland. He was eligible for the sign up and decided to come. He was brought here after maybe a year or two at sea. My parents took him in and he was very grateful. Sometimes he gets into these moods where he regrets making that decision, he wants to go back. He misses them, but he doesn't want our parents to think they're not doing a good job. So he holds it in.”
Legend looked back down, “Wow, I never would have thought that's how he came here. I'm sorry for acting really weird, I guess I just miss my uncle.”
He felt a hand on his shoulder, “Don't worry about it. None of us want you to feel like you can't grieve, take some time, just relax. Now let's get inside before anyone else gets home.”
With that the two boys headed back to the ranch. Legend now felt a bit better about his new brothers.
Update: warriors and Athena are not dating. Like wild, warriors doesn't seem ready but for him it's because of bad experience cough cough cia cough cough
is it just a coincidence that your blog has legends color scheme (green, red, blue) and the next few chapters may be about Legend coming into the family? If not then it's probably just a coincidence
Legend stared at the door. This was it, his new home.
Time had driven him from the airport and stood next to him, holding one of his suitcases.
“Now, I've got to warn you, Wind will be very excited to meet you, he's been like that since we said we were adopting another kid.”
Legend looked up at his new guardian,
“another? I thought Wind was yours?”
“It's a long story, one for another day. When you're settled in I'm sure Wind would be excited to tell you all about it. After all, you'll all be sharing a room for a while. It's not ideal but I'm sure everything will work out.”
Time opened the door and let Legend walk in. Quickly, he grabbed the bag of his new sons items and placed them in the doorway.
“Is that everything? How's the little guy doing?” Time asked, pointing to the small crate that was housing a rabbit.
“He's ok, he doesn't mind it in there."
It only took a few seconds for the peaceful quiet to be interrupted.
“Legend! I'm so glad you're here! What's in the cage thing? How was your trip? Tell me everything.”
Wind had just zipped into the area and was attached to Legend like a piece of velcro.
“Hi Wind, this is my rabbit, Thief. I can tell you about my trip later but I will tell you about it. Thanks for letting me crash in your room.”
Legend said, bending down to Wind's eye level.
“Don't worry your pink streak of hair off. Twilight was a bit harder to convince but at least we can have someone else to talk to. Here let me show you to the room”
Wind dragged the older boy to the bedroom where Twilight had been texting someone on his phone, quickly hiding it under his pillow and getting up.
“Sorry ‘bout that, I wasn't expecting you till later. Mom's at work right now but she set you up a spare mattress here. You can put your stuff by the shelf, just don't crowd the door.”
With that he left the room, giving Legend a small, but honest smile.
Wind gestured for Legends ear, “he was probably texting his girlfriend Illia.”
Quickly changing the subject, Legend decided to ask a small question. “So, where does our- your mom work?”
Wind excitedly hopped onto his own bed and started talking again,
“Mom works at the farm giving horse riding lessons, but today she's working at the farmers market selling our world famous Lon-Lon milk. It's really good, so good that dad always tries to sneak some. Though I think he might be lactose intolerant, which is why mom always tries to hide it. Speaking of dad, he's a musical therapist. He can play a ton of different instruments and he helps people work through their problems.”
Legend nodded, though now wondering how Time lost his eye. He'd rather ask that later.
“Also you can say our mom, we're brothers now, ok?”
Nodding again, Legend placed his things where Twilight said he could.
This was his new start, he wasn't gonna mess it up again.
can I get some wild and wind bonding in your modern au
they are my favorite duo and I love your modern au so so much
no problemo (all stories that don't follow the main story will be tagged as #requests)
Stargazing
Nighttime, a time of peace, quiet, where one can get the relaxation they need.
To Wind however, he always felt bored, restless. Sure he'd eventually fall asleep and wake up later than most people, but that time took forever.
He slipped out of bed and out of the room, careful not to awake Warriors. He found himself in the kitchen where he saw something outside the window.
"Wild?" Wind asked, opening the door and peering onto the porch.
"Oh, hey Wind. What are you doing? It's pretty late." Wild was sitting on a chair, turning back to face towards the sky, staring at the stars above them.
"I could ask you the same thing." Wind replied, crossing his arms.
Wild looked back towards his little brother, "Can't sleep, sometimes stargazing helps. The stars are so bright out here."
Wind pushed a seat towards where Wild was, adjusting it a bit before sitting down. "Was it another nightmare?"
Wild nodded, "I didn't wanna wake up Twi, or Wolfie. It wasn't a bad one, well, I can't remember."
Wind grabbed a piece of Wilds hair, lacing it between his fingers as he weaved a braid through the honey-golden strands.
"Sorry you keep having them, I had a few when Aryll was taken. They really suck."
They sat there for a while, staring at the stars. Wind had gotten Wild to move over a bit so he could squeeze in and give him a hug.
"You know, in school they taught us how to chart stars and stuff. That big one up there is the easiest way to go north without a compass, I think," Wind said, breaking the silence.
Wild nodded as Wind rambled on about the different constellations that painted various pictures and all the stories that came with them, trying not to succumb to the exhaustion that plagued him.
Early that morning, Malon found them curled up and asleep. She decided not to wake them just yet.
Twilight had just come home from school. He threw his bag on the floor of the room he shared with wind and began his homework.
An hour or two must've passed because wind had burst into their room and flopped over Twilight.
"Mom ordered pizza, you know what that means," Wind said looking up at his older brother. "Family meeting?"
Twilight replied, cringing at the fact.
Wind nodded his head, "what do you think this one's about? Our last one was about your girlfriend and stuff, gross."
"Let's hope it's something good."
The two walked into the kitchen to find their parents sitting at the table,
"Hey mom, I got Twi down. What important news did you wanna tell us?" Twilight nudged wind with his elbow before sitting down.
"Boys, do remember when we went to the funeral for your uncle a few months ago?" Time asked, distributing food around the table.
"You mean the one with the kid he adopted from his late wife's sister or something?" Twilight replied.
"Yes, well your mother and I have been talking and we think it would be best if he comes and lives with us."
"Like, he'll become our brother?" Wind asked, food still in his mouth.
"Yes dear, and please don't talk with your mouth full," Malon nodded as she handed her son a napkin.
Twilight looked around and sighed, "I don't know, we only have two rooms and I'm not sure if he'd even like it here on the ranch."
In reality Twilight and this kid weren't on the friendliest of terms. They'd only share glances and quick greetings with each other. Also he dyed his hair so many weird colors in the past, it was kind of weird having to look at super bright colors at every family gathering.
"I'm sure he'll give it a chance, and besides, your room is big enough to fit one more person all cozy. Now finish up your food, I want someone to help me outside with the cows," Malon left the table and went to the barn.
"You're on dish duty Twi!" Wind yelled as he ran after his mom. Twilight rolled his eyes and started picking up the table
"Give him a chance kiddo, remember he just lost someone very close to him. Besides, you'll have to start preparing for another roommate in two weeks," Time said, grabbing a broom from the closet.
"What if it doesn't work out?" Twilight asked, looking up from the kitchen sink.
Time sighed, "these things just take a bit of patience, ok?"
Twilight nodded and returned to his chore, unaware of the impact that one dinner made on his entire life.
