Day 16: Stargazing⭐

[theoneeyedgoldenwolf]

Story idea # 9

The Chain’s having fun day off.

They’ve found a ball and throwing it around. Sadly, some throw it harder than the others and Wind ends up striking Time pretty damn roughly right into chest. He crashes down hard and doesn’t get up.

The Chain freaks out, especially Warriors, and they dash over. Warriors and Legend handles CPR while Wind’s entirely shocked and blaming himself while fully fearing to have killed Time. Luckily Time is saved.

“Damn. Remind me never to get between Wind and his throw.” Time chuckles a bit before already getting Wind into a hug. The kid breaks down in his arms. “You got a mean throw, Pirate.” Time comments while reassuring the boy of everything being alright. “For the record, it might be best not to use Power Bracelets and such when just having fun.”

Day Nine: 🍪Baking🍪

Christmas special tag list: @bunnymermaidsblog @deadlycupid @dustylovelyrun @ladywithalamp @sleepy-night-child @theguywithnonickname

Talon couldn’t remember the last time he ever baked.

He must’ve been a kid back then, helping his mother and sister with Christmas preparations. He hadn’t done that in a long time.

He was no talent in the kitchen, but as he told Aiden and Maya, the two had told him not to worry about it.

“Making cookies is easy, everyone can do it.”

Besides, they said, he had two experts with him.

“Baking is literally part of my job,” Maya reminded him. “And Aiden here has been helping me and my mother with making the cookies for the Christmas market ever since we were children.”

When Halea would find out that Talon was helping to bake cookies, she’d probably fall off her chair laughing.

She was absolutely convinced that her friend could set fire to cereal and she had more than one reason to believe that.

Luckily he wasn’t as much of a disastrous baker as he had anticipated.

He would lie if he said he wasn’t at least a little daunted when he was sat in front of a massive bowl and told to make a portion of dough all by himself, cause apparently they needed so much of it that that one bowl - or even two - won’t do.

But beside the fact that the flour he dumped into the bowl left behind a cloud of dust that made him cough and covered half his face, which resulted in Aiden clinging to Maya in laughter, it all went rather smoothly.

Okay, maybe Talon did throw some flour at Aiden about laughing at him and maybe that did result in a little flour battle that Maya later scolded them for, even if it was in a fond tone that gave away she wasn’t actually mad.

Nearly the whole countertop was covered in rolled out Christmas cookie dough.

As they started to cut out the dough in the form of stars and Christmas trees Talon was sure that they could feed the whole town plus reindeer population with the amount of cookies they were making.

“That’s the goal,” Aiden said laughing, when Talon voiced his thought to the other two. “They’ll be sold at the Christmas market after all. You’d be surprised how fast these cookies are gone.”

They chatted about this and that while they cut out the cookies and Talon had to admit to himself that he indeed had fun, something he didn’t expect.

Though he should’ve guessed, because with Aiden everything turned out to be more fun than he expected it to.

He was just fun to be around with his jokes and stories and the occasional friendly touches that never failed to make Talon’s heart react to it - and it made Talon feel content.

In fact, he hasn’t felt as good, as happy in a long while (if you left out the big elephant in the room, that was).

After the first few batches were in the oven. Maya excused herself because of an appointment she apparently forgot about.

“I’ll be back in an hour or so,” she had told them. “Remember to melt the chocolate for the topping, the first load should be done in a while. And Talon, make sure the chocolate actually ends up on the cookies and not in Aiden’s stomach instead.”

With that last warning she was gone.

Aiden pouted. “Killjoy.”

Talon laughed. “Come on, let’s do what she told us. Maybe I’ll let you have some of the chocolate if you tell me how we’ll best get it to melt.”

Now it was Aiden who laughed. “Deal.”

The batches were done right on time as they finished melting the chocolate.

They got them out of the oven, put in the next few batches and once the cookies had cooled down a little, began to decorate them with the chocolate and all kinds of other stuff.

As most of the melted chocolate was spread out on the cookies, Aiden took a spoon and began to scrape up the rest that was still in the bowl.

As he found Talon looking at him, he chuckled. “What? You said I could have some of the chocolate.”

He offered Talon the spoon full of chocolate. “Or do you want some, too?”

Instead of answering, Talon simply leaned forward and took the offered spoon into his mouth. Aiden’s eyes widened in surprise, but he held the eye contact Talon maintained throughout it all (in strange rush of confidence) until Talon leaned back into his seat again.

“Thanks,” he said with a grin on his face. “That tasted good.”

Aiden swallowed, then he nodded. Loading the spoon with chocolate once again, he lifted it to his own lips this time, not at all seeming to mind that this was the same spoon Talon had in his mouth seconds ago.

Talon couldn’t stop his eyes from staring down at Aiden’s mouth as he licked the spoon clean.

Oh, he was so gone for this boy, who was he even trying to kid.

Aiden’s gaze flickered up to Talon watching him and for a moment they only stared at each other, spoon and chocolate and everything else around them forgotten.

Talon could swear Aiden was leaning forward slowly and he was pretty sure he did the same when suddenly the ringing of the oven startled the two and the moment was over.

“I’ll get the cookies,” Aiden said, clearing his throat.

Was he blushing or did Talon only project his own bashfulness onto him?

Would they have kissed if the oven didn’t disturb them?

Or did he maybe inhale too much flour?

But ever since that moment there was a certain tension in the room and Talon was almost glad when Maya came back and he wasn’t alone with Aiden anymore.

He suspected that Maya could feel it, too.

When Talon excused himself later, claiming that he had an important call to make, she let him go without much complaint, thanking him for his help.

And Aiden, too, didn’t try to get him to stay.

Maybe he was just as shaken about their almost-kiss or whatever you would call the moment they shared as he was.

Talon left, taking the scarf with him despite his better judgment. He had barely sat a foot into his room when he already dialed Halea’s number.

“Halea, I don’t know how long I can take this anymore.”

Story idea # 8

Kinda hoping for fluff with this one. =)

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Before the quest with eight other Links, Time is having nightmares and waking up screaming his brother’s name. He’s not sure if it’s prophetic dreams or just memories getting all messed up in his subconscious mind.

Eventually the portal opens and he ends up meeting the Chain. He’s shocked to find Wars just as he remembers him without having aged a day. Wars doesn’t recognize him but he tries to figure Wind out before realizing that the kid’s not the brother he’s searching for.

Eventually, at one night, Wars can’t sleep and he joins Time on his night shift. After a moment of silence Wars starts a conversation. Telling he’s searching for his brother whom actually is also a Hero. That he found this truth only after he had lost the kid. That the kid’s missing, not dead.

Time tries to keep himself in one piece while not trying to give himself out to Wars. It’s not that he wouldn’t want to but it’s more of the fact that he’s not the kid Wars is searching for. He’s grown up, he got markings and he has lost an eye. He’s far from the around fourteen year old kid Wars is wishing to find.

Yet, he unintentionally drops some hints in his answers even though he keeps on trying to correct himself after each mishap. Still, it hurts like hell to be so close to his brother and yet not being able to say it out loud.

Eventually Wars starts to get confused of Time correcting himself over and over again which eventually gets him suspicious. Just to confirm things, Wars finally asks something on the line of: “How come you’re older than me nowadays?” Into which Time shrugs at first before replying “The portal, I guess.” before he realizes what he said which is when he flinches roughly and pretty much curses under his breath.

Wars grins before chuckling and shaking his head. “Fucking hell. My brother’s been right by me whole this time and I’ve been too fucking blind to see.”

Time chuckles a bit before raising his gaze up into Wars. “Yeah, hi Wars. Been fucking long while, hasn’t it?”
