Note

I saw that you opened requests and I just HAVE to ask--

Would you write a oneshot about modern Miphvali? 🙏

PS, I still ADORE your writing and keep up the good work!

Ahhh!!! Thank you so much Echo!! I’m so flattered! 😊

Thanks for requesting!! I had so much fun with this one!!!! I was so excited when I saw you requested Modern Miphvali! I definitely want to write more modern oneshots (and regular oneshots) on them in the future! :) This one’s shorter than my other oneshots but I still love it!

Warnings: None! Just some jealousy.

Headcanon: Another reason Revali dislikes Link is because Mipha likes Link

I humanized them in this one (mostly because I wanted to write Mipha with bangs-) i hope that’s okay haha

I hope you like this! :)

01-Jealous Archer (Request)

What does Link have that I don’t?

The question lingered in Revali’s mind as he glared at his cup of coffee with a scrunched nose. The dark haired boy racked his brain for some sort of answer but he came up with nothing. He was captain of the Guardians Archery Team at the University, he was at the top of his class at the pilot academy, and he had various gold medals from archery tournaments. How is it that Link bested him yet again?

The boy barely ever talked anyways so how was Mipha so invested in him?

Revali never cared much for romance, the thought of it just never sparked any interest in him. In high school he was only focused on archery and his pilot classes. And that mindset carried over into his university days. He always thought Mipha was cute, but he never thought anything of it since she adored the blonde boy.

Usually he enjoyed cafe’s and the homely atmosphere they brought with the plants and the coffee bean scent. But today he was with all of his friends. Which meant Mipha was going to be occupied the entire time with the silent blonde.

Revali ran a hand through his dark blue hair, he was so lost in his thoughts he didn’t realize Zelda was in the middle of telling a story.

”….Link ate all of the sandwiches in ten seconds. I was in shock!” Zelda exclaimed with a laugh. Revali blinked, how did they even get to this topic?

A small giggle erupted from Mipha. The sound didn’t make his heart warm like it normally did. No, it made him grit his teeth.

He glanced up from his steamless mug. Mipha’s red hair was pulled back into her classic ponytail, exempt from the side pieces she kept out to frame her face. Her bangs rested just above her golden brown eyes. If he could he would stare into those eyes all day. Not that he’d ever admit that outloud. Like ever.

A sour expression took over his face. Those golden eyes weren’t directed at him. Instead they were locked on Link. To make matters even worse she was smiling at him. With her gentle and sweet smile, Revali’s favorite one of hers.

Why did she have to do that? It made Revali’s stomach swirl with… he didn’t even know how to describe it. He just felt sick… sick and annoyed. Very annoyed. Why couldn’t she look at me like that? What did he do to deserve her smile?

”Link, that's so silly. I can’t believe you did that.” Mipha covered her mouth with a hand as she laughed again.

To Revali’s annoyance, Link gave Mipha a small smile.

”I can, the little guy’s got a stomach.” Daruk scooped up some eggs with his spoon before grasping the ketchup bottle and squirting the red sauce on his spoon. Revali scrunched his nose in distaste.

”True that.” Urbosa held up her mug with a light smirk. “It’s why I make an extra course of food for holiday parties.”

A sheepish smile appeared on Link’s face as he scratched the back of his neck.

“Even that’s not enough sometimes,” Zelda teased, nudging Link in the elbow.

Link let out a small laugh as he shrugged. ”I have an appetite,” he replied quietly.

Mipha perked up. “That reminds me of when we were in our first class at the university…”

Revali wanted to stuff his ears with cotton, that would be the only thing to make this conversation more bearable.

He really didn’t understand how she didn’t see that Link wasn’t interested in her. He and Zelda never stopped stealing glances at one another for Hylia’s sake—it was infuriating to say the least. It was so obvious that both blondes were smitten with each other. Anyone could see it from a mile away. Everyone except for Mipha.

Yet she still liked him.

Revali secretly wished Link and Zelda would get together already so then maybe, just maybe, Mipha would see him right in front of her.

“You’ve barely had any breakfast or your coffee. Are you alright?” Her gentle voice reached his ears and he froze as she placed her hand on his. “You haven’t talked at all.”

”Uh…” Revali’s mind blanked as he stared into her warm eyes. He lost his whole train of thought with just a single touch of her hand. How does she have this power over me?

He let out a cough and pulled his hand away from hers—completely missing her hurt expression. “Yes, yes I’m fine Mipha,” he replied as he sank back into his chair with folded arms. It’s not like I’m fighting for my life over here… why can’t you just see me? Am I not interesting enough? He scolded himself for having such insecure thoughts but he couldn’t help it.

Revali bit his cheek as he stared at the cafe walls. He wondered if maybe he and Mipha weren’t meant to be. I mean they couldn’t be more opposite. He was proud (rightfully so in his opinion) and he made a lot of loud, sarcastic comments. She was kind, humble, and quieter than most.

”Hmmm.” Urbosa smiled at Revali with raised eyebrows.

”What?” He knitted his brow.

“Nothing, it’s just interesting.” The gerudo sipped her coffee.

”What is?” His brow knitted further.

She only smirked.

”What’s going on?” Mipha glanced between him and Urbosa.

”Nothing, I’m heading out.” His chair squeaked against the waxed hardwood flooring as he stood up. “Here’s some rupees for my part of the tip and the check.” He slid a pouch onto the table.

“Oh? Okay. See you later, Revali.” Zelda smiled at him.

“Now?” Mipha asked, turning her full attention toward him.

“I have… things to attend to.” He hated how unsure he sounded.

Mipha squinted her eyes slightly but Revali was quick to turn away and head for the door.

”Rev-“ The door and it’s bell cut off the sound of Mipha’s voice. He winced, feeling bad he didn’t just sit down and talk to her but he really couldn’t do that right now.

————————-

There was a light breeze that rustled the trees in the distance. It was only partially cloudy and the sky was a vibrant blue.

Revali sighed and he turned his attention toward his red target as he readied his bow. He pulled the string backwards. He took a deep breath before letting the nock go and the arrow sailed through the air. Even with the small breeze the arrow hit the middle of his target. Like it always did.

Revali liked archery. He was the best at it and he never missed his targets. It was easy. Easy to focus on, easy to understand, and easy to achieve.

It was a lot less difficult than trying to deal with his emotions and feelings.

”I thought you’d be here.”

His eyes flicked toward Mipha and he slowly lowered his bow. He didn’t know if he should feel excited or afraid for her appearance. He definitely felt both.

The breeze brushed her bangs and his face grew warm, he didn’t think anyone else could pull off bangs as well as she did.

She tilted her head with a slight frown, her golden eyes filling with concern. “Revali? What’s wrong?”

He looked off to the side and sighed. Here we go. “Nothing Mipha. I’m fine.”

”Clearly you aren’t.”

“Yes I am.” He adjusted his glove. “I’m fine. Go back and hang out with him- “ He bit his tongue. “-them.”

Her brows furrowed and she stepped forward. ”Him? You said ’him’.”

Great Hylia of course I had to go and slip up.

“I said them.”

“No you didn’t.” She took another step forward. “Are you talking about Link? You’re talking about Link.”

Revali couldn’t stop a light scoff from taking over his features.

”I don’t understand. Why are you talking about Link?”

“Nothing.” He closed his eyes. “Nothing Miph, just drop it.”

“No!” she snapped.

His gaze whipped to hers.

“Sorry.” She winced, folding her arms. “I’m just upset. I hate when you get like this.”

Revali didn’t say anything, instead he walked over to place his bow on his stand.

“I know you aren’t fine. Whatever you’re feeling you can tell me!”

“Not this.” He shook his head. No way in Hyrule. “I’m afraid this is something I need to keep to myself.”

“Why?”

He turned back to look at her and froze. She was so close.

Mipha was staring up at him with her hands on her hips. Her eyes flicked between his own as if searching for something. Searching for an answer he didn’t want to give.

”Vali.”

“What?” He replied, almost wincing at how weak his voice sounded.

“Why are you talking about Link? You said ‘go hang out with him‘.”

“I-“ He clamped his mouth shut and turned away from her.

Neither of them spoke for a long time.

”Because. I’m…“ His tongue felt too large for his mouth. “…jealous,” he nearly spat out.

“Jealous?”

“Yes. Jealous.” His fists tightened at his sides. “I’m jealous of him because you like him.” His nose scrunched at how childish he sounded.

“I do like him.”

He winced, might as well have shot an arrow through his heart; it would've hurt less.

”But not in the way you’re thinking.”

”Wha-“ The words died in his throat as he felt her arms circle around his waist and felt her head rest on his back. He was definitely dreaming. He had to be.

“Vali. Link’s just a good friend who I enjoy hanging out with. Sure I had a crush on him when we were in middle school but I’m over that now. I’m not interested in him.”

”Oh,” was all Revali said.

Another long silence.

“I think my plan worked,” Mipha finally spoke up.

”What plan?”

“It’s silly… but I sort of. Oh, I feel horrible saying this. But I used Link in a way to make you jealous. Well he doesn’t know it but I focused on him so maybe you would have noticed me or gotten jealous. I think it worked a little too well. It’s so silly I know.”

“I can’t not notice you,” Revali whispered.

”Really?”

Revali’s ears burned. “Really. You didn’t need to go through that whole plan. I already liked you.”

“I had no idea.”

“You didn’t?” He thought he was very obvious.

“What? No, Revali, how could I? You always push me away.”

Do I? His brows furrowed.

“Can you look at me please?” To his dismay, Mipha let go of him. But he obliged to her request and turned to face her. “I wish you’d let me in. I never know what you’re thinking.”

Revali sighed softly. “I’m sorry Miph. I’ll try to be more open with you.”

“I don’t want you to be open with me if you don’t want to. I want you to do it on your own accord.”

“I do want to be open with you,” he confirmed.

“Okay.” She offered a small smile to which he returned.

She took a deep breath before speaking. “I really like you, Vali.” Her tilted her head slightly, her long earrings swaying back and forth with the movement. ”More than friends,” she added, holding his hand between her own.

“I really like you too, Miph.” A grin made its way onto his face—he always smiled more with her around. He felt lighter after saying the words, like he was carrying a heavy weight and it was lifted off of his shoulders.

”Good.” She giggled and his chest warmed. “You’re taking me out on a date.”

“Oh am I now?” He raised a brow.

“Of course you are.” Mipha laced her fingers through his.

Revali laughed through his nose. ”Where did this surge of confidence come from?”

Mipha only grinned and began to lead him away from the range.

”Wait- I need to grab my bow and my stuff.”

”Oh! Oh, yes, of course. I’ll help you.”

Revali smiled at her. “Okay, then we can go on that… date.” He scratched his cheek as his face flushed.

”Sounds like a plan to me.” She returned his smile, her own blush dusting her cheeks.

Short and sweet 😉
