nothing short of shiny: ravio x link wing bois au

big s/o to @breannasfluff for the amazing au and for helping me find a prompt <33

“Please, please, please! I will bribe you with pastries if you come with me.” Ravio fluffed his wings dramatically, giving Legend puppy eyes as he tugged on Legend’s sleeve. “It’s such a nice day and my favorite merchant, besides myself of course, is in town and she always has really good trinkets.”

Legend rolled his eyes, “Alright dearest, fine. You win.” He placed a kiss on Ravio’s forehead who chittered happily. It was near impossible for Legend to resist Ravio’s puppy eyes which he unfairly used to convince Legend to partake in his plans. This usually consisted of adding more blue elements to the house much to Legend’s dismay. He would do anything for his partner but he could only handle so much blue.

If the Chain knew how much of a soft spot he had for Ravio’s demanding puppy eyes they would never let him live it down. This was a secret he would rather keep to himself, Ravio gave him enough of a hard time about it.

“Come, come! Let’s get going! I need to be there to snag the best deals early on.” Ravio bounced on the balls of his feet impatiently as Legend pulled on his boots. With some restraint he resisted dragging Legend out of the house and off to town, skipping at Legend’s side. Absolutely nothing got Ravio going like a good deal, especially on trinkets and anything blue. Legend found it adorable how enthusiastic about haggling Ravio became, his determination to get a good deal on a new shiny was unmatched. How Ravio gushed about his new shiny object for days, displaying it proudly in the house for everyone to see. With the two of their hoarding tendencies combined their house was more museum than house according to Warriors. Legend found the abundance of items comforting, reminding him he had a safe place to call home. It felt nice.

Town was bustling with activity, people everywhere chatting and having fun at the market. Ravio skipped around, bouncing from booth to booth with Legend trailing behind just enjoying Ravio’s energy. The atmosphere was cheerful and the smells of food and fresh flowers danced through the air. Legend was instantly drawn towards a booth selling bread and pastries. He absolutely had to have some, especially the turnovers. Sweet Hylia did he love a good turnover, raspberry or apple were his favorites but there wasn’t a bad turnover filling flavor.

Ravio peeked over Legend resting his head on Legend’s shoulder. “You better buy me a treat if you’re getting turnovers. It’s only fair after all. I think I want a lemon tart!” He paused, getting distracted by another vendor shouting about their wares.

“Yeah, yeah we both know your sweet tooth is just as bad as mine. There’s no ‘fair’ about this little scheme of yours. You just don’t want to be the one to pay for it.” Legend grumbled, handing over rupees to pay for their pastries. Let’s go find somewhere to sit down, my knees are starting to bother me plus I hate eating while walking. Reminds me of traveling.”

A bench on the edge of the market, shaded by a large maple tree was all but calling out to Legend. He really needed to rest for a bit. They sat down, Ravio immediately latching onto Legend’s side, munching on his tart happily.

Ravio kissed Legend’s cheek, “Thank you for buying me a treat, my love. I feel so special when you do things like this even if I ask for it.”

“You’re such a sap! Of course I’m going to treat you the best I possibly can, I love you and want to show I care. Even when you get crumbs on my cheek from kissing me midway through your tart.” Legend bumped Ravio with his shoulder gently causing Ravio to chirp contentedly. Sweet treats and spending time with his partner, Legend’s heart was so full and happy. If only he could bottle up this moment and savor it forever. FInishing their pastries, Legend felt a new burst of energy ready to browse the rest of the market.

Gerudo silks, Goron gemstones, warm Rito blankets, which Legend was absolutely buying one. Everything was so colorful and unique. Ravio tugged Legend along, examining every little object that caught his eye. They bounced from booth to booth, taking their time at each. Out of the corner of Legend’s eye a red pie dish caught his attention, the ceramic dish had a scene of an apple orchard in the center, this was the absolute perfect pie dish. He’d been looking for a new one ever since Wild accidentally broke his old one. This was meant to be.

“Oh that’s so perfect for you! I’ll buy it for you, but my requirement is that you must bake me an apple pie. I expect the most delicious pie from you and your apples!” Ravio fluttered his wings excitedly.

“Deal, and I was already intending on baking as many pies as we can stand. So this is a bonus. Thank you, love.” Legend gave Ravio a quick kiss on the cheek, giving a call. ‘Love you, care for you.’

With the perfect pie dish cradled in Legend’s arms they carried on, stopping at a booth selling jewelry and magical items. Ravio was busy chatting with the merchant, fully invested in the thrill of haggling a good price for a pair of opal earrings. Legend smiled, watching his partner be so passionate and lively. He looked back down at the display, a brilliant sapphire bracelet sparkled in the sunlight casting specks of reflected light on the table. This was perfect for Ravio, Legend looked over to him who was still thoroughly invested in his haggling. A perfect opportunity to surprise him later. He quickly paid the other merchant and tucked it away in his pocket.

The sky had begun to turn a lovely orange hue, puffy clouds dotting the horizon as they walked back to the house. Crickets were singing in the warm summer air, it was blissfully serene. Ravio laced his fingers with Legend’s and swung their arms back and forth.

“Thank you for coming with me, I had a good time. And I expect that apple pie! I’m not letting you go back on your word for that.” Ravio giggled, tucking a stray hair behind Legend’s ear. He pressed their foreheads together, humming happily.

“I always enjoy spending time with you, silly bird. I will definitely bake you that pie, maybe tomorrow. It’s getting late and we should start on dinner. I was thinking we could make veggie curry, how does that sound?” Legend began starting the stove’s fire as he got ready to cook.

Ravio nodded and scurried over to the pantry, grabbing ingredients for the curry. They worked in comfortable silence, just enjoying each other’s company. It was moments like these, purely domestic and peaceful that Legend enjoyed the most. Moments where Hylia wasn’t up his ass about saving the world for the umpteenth time. Not having to risk his life to save a world that would eventually fall to evil once more. The pressure of being the Hero of Legend was null when he was with Ravio. With him, he was just Link.

Dinner was delicious, Legend did most of the cooking but Ravio was happy to assist. After eating, the small comfort of Legend resting his head in Ravio’s lap as he knitted a sweater lulled him to sleep, dreaming of cotton clouds and spending time with his beloved.

Sunlight poured in through the windows, bathing the covers in warmth. Ravio mumbled something in his sleep, laying with his head on Legend’s chest and hand resting next to his cheek. Another comfortable morning, Legend yawned and nuzzled his face into Ravio’s hand.

Ravio moaned sleepily, blinking the sleep from his eyes. “Good morning bunny. Did you sleep ok?”

“Surprisingly yeah, I always sleep better with you next to me but being in a real nest also helps. I did have a dream that we turned into flying bunnies which was odd but it was kind of cute.” Legend played with Ravio’s hair as he spoke softly, the sleepiness still in his voice. “Was thinking we could bake the pie today and I think the garden could do with some attention. Nothing too big for today, feeling achy from all the walking yesterday.”

“Yes, yes I'm glad you haven't forgotten already about the pie. I’m so excited to try it, you're a much better baker than I am.” Ravio sighed, letting out a set of relaxed chirps.

This earned a chuckle from Legend, Ravio wasn't inept in the kitchen but he much preferred Legend’s food than his own. Either from laziness or genuine appreciation for his cooking, but it didn't matter to Legend. He was just happy he could do it together regardless of how much Ravio helped or didn't. It was just another way they could spend time with each other. Something Legend sorely missed on the road with the Chain.

With the windows open the summer breeze felt amazing, feathers swaying just slightly. Legend spread his wings, absorbing the cool air. The garden was flourishing, the small patch of veggies was growing nicely. The majority of produce Ravio sold, keeping only a small amount for themselves. There was something so rewarding about growing your own food, it made sense to Legend why the apple orchard had made his uncle so happy. It now made him happy too.

Legend stood from his crouching position where he had been weeding, stretching his stiff muscles. “If you could grab some apples, Rav, that would be much appreciated. I’m going to go inside, clean up and start on the pie crust.”

“Of course bunny, I’ll grab a good handful.” Ravio kissed Legend on the cheek before bouncing off to the orchard.

Off to the kitchen after he cleaned up, Legend got to work. He began pulling out ingredients and starting the fire for the oven. Flour, salt, butter, lard: kneading everything together and shaping the crust. Baking felt so natural, something Legend was good at and very much enjoyed. It also came with the bonus of him fulfilling his sweet tooth. He’s convinced his aggressive sweet tooth rubbed off on Ravio, both of them never passing up anything sweet. When traveling with the Chain there wasn’t time for baking, just simple filling meals that Wild could easily make in bulk for them. Baked goods became a small slice of home for Legend, whenever they were in a town he made sure to stop by a bakery. Anything to remind him of Ravio and their home. Much to Legend’s surprise, Malon had picked up on his love of sweet things and baked with him whenever the Chain was in Time’s Hyrule.

It was really nice of Malon, helping relieve just a small bit of homesickness. But he was home now, and didn’t know for how long. He was determined to make the most of it. Legend stared at the pie dish, making him smile. He loved that this was from Ravio, regardless of it being part of a bargain or not. It added to the charm. Gently kneading and rolling the dough flat, he laid it in the pie dish and popped it in the oven to cook just enough.

“I’m back! I couldn’t remember how many you needed so I picked a decent amount. I’m so so happy. I love your pies almost as much as I love you.” Ravio set the apples down on the counter with a huge grin on his face.

“You’re such a dork,” Legend took his flour covered hands and squished Ravio’s cheeks between his hands making Ravio squeal. This devolved into a flour fight, dusting each other with handfuls of flour in between butterfly kisses and fits of giggles. The kitchen was a disaster, flour coating every surface, including their hair and clothes. Apples still sitting on the counter, forgotten in the playful battle.

Ravio let out a final giggle when Legend kissed his flour covered cheek. “Ok, I’ll clean up our disaster if you finish up our pie, baker boy. I’m craving it even more now.”

They settled into a quiet groove, working around each other with ease. With the pie in the oven and the kitchen clean again Ravio collapsed on the sofa with a large over dramatic sigh, leaving Legend alone in the kitchen. Now was the time to give Ravio the bracelet. He’d hoped to give it to him after the pie was done but Legend was getting impatient and Ravio seemed like he was going to fall asleep at any second. Legend walked quietly to his desk in the corner of the living room where he had stashed the bracelet in one of the drawers. He plopped down next to Ravio who grunted sleepily.

“Hey Rav.” Legend nudged Ravio’s shoulder with his body. “I have a surprise for you, unless you’re too sleepy for me to give it to you.” Teasing him with the prospect of a new shiny was always enough for Ravio to wake up, eagerly awaiting whatever was presented to him.

Ravio bolted upright from his slouched position on the sofa, a wondrous gleam in his eyes as he watched Legend pull the sapphire bracelet from the small pouch. “No way. No way you got me that. Link.” Tears began to fill his eyes, flicking his gaze from the bracelet to Legend’s massive grin. He launched himself at Legend, hugging him tight. “Thank you bunny, I love it so much. And I love you more.”

Legend kissed Ravio softly, pulling away only for a moment. “Of course, even though it pained me to buy something so blue. I did it for you, and I’d do so, so much more for you too.” He smiled as Ravio kissed him again as payback for the snarky comment about the bracelet’s beautifully blue sapphire. “Let’s go eat some pie now then!”
