"Link, will you marry me?"

"Link, will you marry me?" he asked her.

The question completely blindsided Link, who looked at Sheik like he was a crazy person. "And why would I do that? I'm usually a guy, in case you forgot, this mask is something I can take off whenever I want."

The heat in Link's response almost made Sheik flinch. "I...I know that," he said, quietly. "But right now, you, the you you are right now...you're something I've always wanted."

That made Link raise an eyebrow and smile sultrily. "Oh really? I had no idea, Sheik, that you'd always pined for an older, Gerudo wife. Pretty kinky, I've got to say."

Sheik frowned. "That's not what I meant. What I mean is...I'm not exactly what I seem to be, and sometimes I want to go back to who I was. But when I'm with you, I don't. I feel safe, and loved, and it's perfect. We can still defeat Ganondorf, together, like this. After all, you still have the Master Sword, and all your items. Why can't we just live like this?"

It was a tempting offer. Link had been avoiding thinking about it, but a growing part of her really liked her new body. She was older, more mature, smarter, sexier, it was the complete package. And if she accepted, she'd be getting a husband with a complete package too, she thought slyly to herself. And yet, some part of her still saw herself as Link, the fairy boy from the woods turned Hero of Time. Could she really abandon that part of herself?
