Friends with Benefits

Chapter One : Drinks

"Hey, Link!" Zelda smiled, walking up to her old friend at the bar. The man she spoke of grinned when he saw her, getting up from the barstool and hugging her.

"Zelda!" He chuckled, noting how she hasn't changed at all in the past few months. "It's been so long since we've seen each other!"

"I know, right?" Her happy demeanor faded to look more troubled. "Now that Ganon and I broke up, I'll have a lot more time on my hands to hang out with you and everyone else."

"Ah, come on, now." Link said, not stepping away from the blonde-haired girl in front of him. "He was an ass anyway. That's why he never wanted me to be around you."

"I know, I know. He did have his moments, though." She sat down on the stool next to him as he resumed his prior position. The bartender walked up to them.

"Can I get you anything?" He directed his question more towards Zelda, seeing as Link already had a beer in front of him, taking a sip.

"Just a water, please." She replied, cautiously. She knew how she got when she drank a lot. Link gave her an annoyed look.

"No you won't. We're at a bar together right now, not to mention you probably haven't had a good drink in months. You need one. And if you're concerned about getting home, I'll make sure to get and pay for your taxi." He turned to the bartender and declared, "She'll be having a margarita on me." The bartender nodded as Zelda rested her cheek on her hand.

"Unlike you, Forester, I don't need to drink to make myself feel better." Zelda mumbled with a glare. He chuckled nervously.

"What are you saying?" He took a big gulp from his mug. "What do I have to be sad about?"

She raised an eyebrow before answering, "Midna crushing your heart a few days ago?"

He swallowed hard, setting down the glass with a fake, but still painful, smile. "Who told you that lie?"

"Sheik."

"Seriously, Zel? You can't believe everything your brother says." Link downed the rest of his drink when the bartender came back with the margarita. He took the empty glass to refill it for him.

"He told me you finally mustered up the courage to tell her how much you like her, but she just laughed and said she would never see you as more than a friend." She smiled, cockily lifting up her drink and taking a triumphant sip. "And that's she's already interested in Dark Knight."

Link cleared his throat, embarrassed knowing that Zelda had found this out. He fanned his face, clearly getting warm from the blush. "Whew… wonder why that drink is taking so long!"

"Dear goddesses, Link!" She groaned in annoyance. "We've known each other since we were kids, and now you're getting all flustered because you got rejected and I know about it?"

"Apparently." He shrugged. She rolled her eyes, taking a sip of her drink before she continued to lecture him. Not before long he felt himself smiling. She really hasn't changed. He thought to himself, remembering all of the times he was given one of Zelda's infamous I-care-about-you-so-I'm-angry fits. He's experienced quite a few of those growing up.

"I mean, you've seen me way worse, and I'm never embarrassed. Remember when – " Link's annoyed sigh cut her off, angering her more.

"Yeah, yeah. I get it, princess." He swirled the liquid in his now full glass, laughing as he spoke his old nickname for her. "Besides, I think we are both better off single. No one will hold us back, or end up breaking our hearts."

"Agreed." Zelda calmed down by this point and smiled at his accusation. She looked down at her nearly empty glass and got an idea. Raising it up, she said, "To being single!"

Chuckling, Link added, "And ready to mingle!" He reached his mug up to clank her cup, but she had already pulled it away, raising a disapproving eyebrow. He scratched the back of his head nervously. "I'm sorry, but I had to." She rolled her eyes while laughing, finally clanking their glasses together.

"I still can't believe my brother and Malon are getting married." Zelda, getting noticeably tipsy, murmured as she played with the salt on her second glass that is now almost empty.

"They've been together since high school. It was just a matter of time." Link took a big gulp of his sixth beer.

"Ugh, they're just so perfect for each other." She sighed, "I wish I could have something like that."

"Me too." He mumbled. They both looked at each other before awkwardly going back to finishing their drinks.

"Ha! I knew I could do more shots faster than you!" Zelda laughed, leaning into and poking Link's chest. He chuckled with her.

"Well, I let you win. I know better than to take too many shots so quickly."

"Uh-huh." She retorted sarcastically. "You just don't want to admit you got beat by a girl!" She leaned in to playfully punch his arm, but ended up almost falling. In order to avoid faceplanting, she grabbed onto him rather than hitting him. "Whoa…"

"Yeah, you almost fell." He said breathlessly, almost blushing when she didn't let go of his arm.

"Nah, it's just…" She trailed off, squeezing his limb lightly. "You're so… strong." She smirked, "I like it." She tried her best to sound sexy, but in her drunken stupor it came out very slurred. He didn't notice.

"Yeah, I get that a lot." He laughed, his rare arrogant side showing slightly. He ended up getting his fingers tangled in Zelda's golden locks. "But it's great to hear that from such a beautiful girl like you." She giggled at his compliment, resting her head on his shoulder.

"And then, out of nowhere, tons of cuccos came and started attacking me!" Link along with Zelda laughed at his own memory. She was currently grabbing onto his forearm, gasping for air. He suddenly checked the clock on the wall and slapped the side of his face in shock. "Goddesses, Zel! It's really late!" He stood up hurriedly, her not too far behind. "Where are you staying now since you and Ganondorf are broken up? I live right around the corner, so I don't have to worry about getting home, but I promised I would…"

His rambling was stopped short when, even in his drunken state, he recognized the look in her eyes. Desire. He fought off a blush as she brought him close by grabbing him by the waist.

"I'd love to stay at your place, just for tonight. If it's alright with you." She whispered as sultry as she could in his ear, trying her best to avoid slurring.

When he pulled away, she could tell that his answer would be a firm 'no' based on the shock that was written all over his face. But, he soon smirked, the same look unknowingly appearing in his own eyes.

"I'm fine with that."

The pair soon found themselves walking along the streets of Castle Town, laughing at nothing in particular. They wrapped their arms around each other's waists to keep close as they made their way to Link's apartment. Once they got to the building and into the elevator, not fond of taking the stairs, they couldn't keep their hands off each other. They had not yet kissed, however. The elevator finally 'dinged,' signaling that they had reached the floor. He grabbed her hand and led her to his door.

He dropped his keys, bending over to pick them up off the disgustingly designed carpet. Zelda, seeing this as an opportunity, slapped his behind. Link quickly stood back up, turning to look at her. She just giggled in response to his surprise. He rolled his eyes and started to unlock his door. After a minute or two of him fiddling with his many keys, she grew bored and her mischievousness picked up again.

She stood up on her tippy toes, raising her up, and started attacking the back of his neck with open mouth kisses, carelessly sucking his skin. He turned his head slightly.

"You're distracting me." He grumbled, annoyed that he couldn't find the right key.

"Yeah, I'm your problem right now." He rolled his eyes and he finally heard the click coming from the door, signaling it was finally unlocked. "Finally, geez."

Link turned around completely this time, latching his arm around her waist while the other turned the door knob, opening it. He brought her in, quickly closing the door and pushing her up against it. His lips came crashing down on hers for the first time. She tasted of the olives she had eaten before. His hands ran down her sides, stopping at her hips. He stuck one of his legs in between her own, tickling her bare legs under her skirt. She busied herself with undoing the buttons of his shirt. Once she was done, he carelessly ripped it off and threw it across the room.

Zelda began running one of her hands down his toned chest, feeling the crevices and making him shudder. Her other hand was clutching his dirty blonde hair, keeping him against her lips. He began leading her to his bedroom, not even caring enough to look where he was going. She opened her mouth slightly, allowing his tongue to creep in. She was surprised when he stopped, but her confusion didn't last long when she was pushed back onto a soft surface; his bed. He began to climb on top of her and she quickly stripped herself of her sweater, leaving only her tank top underneath.

She was still sitting up slightly, his arms on either side of her, encasing her. Not that she minded. He started to kiss her jaw, and she lifted her head, allowing him more access. His kisses continued down her neck to her collarbone, where he began to suck on her shoulder.

"Oh, sweet Nayru…" She gasped, pleasure washing over her. Zelda's hands grew tired of touching his bare chest and went down to skim the rim of his pants, causing him to shiver. They continued this for a little while, until he lifted one of his hands from the bed, reaching to cup her breast. She gasped at the feeling, soon melting into his touch when he began to massage her. Her leg lifted, accidentally grinding against his clothed groin. He groaned and began to kiss her harder than ever before. She moaned into his lips, the feeling overtaking her.

"Zel…" His fingers danced along the bottom of her shirt, unsure whether she was okay with this. She removed herself from his lips and removed the article of clothing herself, leaving her in her black bra and skirt, which was also taken off quickly. She began to work on removing his jeans, which also proved to not be difficult.

She fell backwards, now lying completely on the bed. He snaked his hand underneath her, unclasping her bra with ease. He slipped it off her, throwing it somewhere on the ground. Link couldn't help but stare at the sight of his best girl friend's bare chest. He dove down and began to lick her nipple, causing many gasps and moans on her part. His other hand worked on her other breast.

"Oh my gods…" Zelda threw an arm over her face as her moans increased in volume. Link smirked while hearing her, his fingers slowly sliding underneath her panties, slowly sliding them down her legs. Once they were off, he went to kiss her swollen lips, which opened for him quickly. He began to rub his fingers across her entrance, making her shiver in anticipation. She continued to moan as he touched her.

"You like that, huh?" He chuckled.

"Please… stop teasing… me…" She breathed between kisses, gripping onto his boxers, now the only thing separating them.

"As you wish, Zelda." He smiled. She closed her eyes as she prepared herself for him. But, she became confused when she felt his heat leave her. She sat up, her eyes opening halfway to see him standing, fully naked.

"What are you doing?" He chuckled at her question.

"It's a good thing that I'm not drunk enough to forget about using protection." Link mumbled. Her mouth formed an 'o' shape, also thankful for him being mostly in his head, unlike her at the moment. She just wanted him. After a few seconds, he climbed back on to her. Just seeing him in all of his glory made her feel more hot than before. "Are you ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." Zelda smiled up at him. He nodded, kissing her once again as he slowly slid into her. She gasped as she felt him fill inside of her. Cautious at first, he didn't move much. But it was long before he began pulling in and out of her, his thrusting gaining speed each time. He tried to muffle her cries of pleasure by keeping his mouth against hers, but it didn't do much, especially when they were too focused on how good it felt to continue to kiss. Suddenly, she felt Link hit that spot that made her feel overwhelmed, causing her mind to go completely blank. Her nails dug into his back intensely. He groaned at her strong grip, but that didn't stop him.

He continued to push inside of her until she practically screamed, signaling her climax hit her. Her inner walls clenched around him, making the experience even better for him. It wasn't long before he let out a low growl, reaching his own peak. His thrusts became slower and slower before they finally stopped completely. He remained inside of her, the two lying on the bed, their naked forms coated in sweat.

"Wow… that was…" He was breathing heavy, exhausted from their activity.

"Amazing." She finished for him, gently brushing the hair out of his face and planting a soft peck on his lips. He smiled back at her.

"Exactly." Link whispered, letting out a sigh.

"Midna doesn't know what she's missing." Zelda commented, flipping over so she had her back to him.

"And neither does Ganon." He returned, wrapping his arm protectively around her waist, his face coming to rest on hers. She nodded in response, snuggling into his embrace. There was a long silence. "So… what does that make us?"

"…Not sure." Zelda thought for a second before responding, "That's something sober us will have to figure out."

Link chuckled, letting his exhaustion take over and falling asleep. She did too, feeling her best guy friend's arms comfort her.

So I guess that's the first chapter. If you see any mistakes in spelling or grammar or whatever, feel free to tell me about it in a PM or review!

This will be a multi-chapter fanfiction, and I already have a lot of drama and whatnot planned for it. I've already started writing the second chapter, so look out for it!
