CIL: ok this one is probably defiantly gonna bite of the bat. I am not that well on romance scales but I need to better myself. Please use brutal honesty if you must don't pull any punches on me.

Link lay in his bed, a restful sleep after his long quest to save Hyrule from the evil of Ganondorf. But still a dream plays over and over in his head. The Princess Zelda he sees, a rose in hand and looking out to the ocean (bare with me please I'll make the ocean if I have to) she was saying something while twirling the rose but Link could not hear those sweet words he so longed to hear. The Princess rose from her place upon the sand and slowly walked over to link she closed her eyes and inched forward toward him. They had almost shared a kiss but he awoke from the dream.
(Link's POV)
Damn it, it always ends there. Why can't I ever complete it. Ah what am I thinking anyway, she is a royal after all. I am but a boy called hero. She probably has some prince waiting for her in a far away kingdom. I hate the life of royals they always force you into things, I didn't even want to take this dumb quest anyway. At least I have Saria as a good friend. We have never really shared a good moment together. I wonder if I may be able to get her something, we all know I can leave the forest maybe I can get her a gift from the market. Perfect she'll have to like it I mean how often does she get a gift nonetheless one from the market. I even still have the stuff from my adventures. Ah the good ole' Chainhook. I wonder why I never used it as a kid, I can try here and now can't I? Sure why not. I walk out to the balcony and aim for a distant log, I slowly pinch the trigger, out of nowhere the hook flies and grabs the log, I then scream loudly as I am dragged to the log and slammed into it. I groan in pain as I slide down it. Every Kokiri had laughed even Saria but at least she came to my side after it.
"Link are you alright? What was that?" she said.
I groaned and told her it was one of my gadgets from adventuring. She laughed at me again but then helped my to my but so I could at least sit. She sat beside me and look up, like she usually does when she's thinking of something deep.
"Link" she started. "you spoke a lot of the Princess in your adventures. Tell me…what do you think of her"
Oh great, now I have to confess my feelings to a girl I feel like I have a better chance with. I told her she was rather nice and charming for a royal. But what little I have seen or heard out the king and queen has left me slightly bitter. Saria know kind of what it was like to be her. The memory of being a sage is thin in her but dreams she has had lately have been refreshing it. The Deku tree told her that no one else but me may be told of these dreams. I wonder what it's like to be a tree…ah I'm getting off topic here. As a child forever I always wondered how the Kokiri came to be, I've not learned much about passion but from what I felt and understand it seems only two grown people can produce another. Just like the Gerudo, a male every hundred years, it's either they live a long life or there is something about them I don't want to know. I've always wondered if I might have a family, mom and dad had died, and I was left with no one. Even a brother or sister. I wish I had someone that I could embrace even the slightest. I think I have gone off into a dream again cause I feel Saria's arm around me, she'd never hug me like this, we are friends not good friends, her and Mido are meant for each other. I fell sorry for him the way he picked on me, and for the trap I set in the chests when I got back from adventuring, a bomb in the chest that was hilarious, at least he let me get the last laugh in. I'll let him have Saria it is the least I can do, she likes me not loves me.
I must have sighed for the embrace fell and she looked at me in the eyes.
"Your eyes are blue as the sky. Just as the sky helps me think your eyes help too. Tell me Link, am I special to you?"
Oh no, I am in deep water now. What do I tell her, that she's my second choice for the girl I want to spend my life with. No I can't do that she'll slip, I can't lie to her. Oh I'll go ahead and say it.
"you're a good girl Saria, in fact I should say women, your maturity has taught me many things, you're a good friend and a better companion, I can not risk any feelings for you because our friendship has passed more barriers then our possible love can"
That seemed to work, her eyes are filling with tears. Have I done something wrong, I didn't even know where that came from. Oh what kind of monster am I!
Wait what is this? I can feel her heart beat, it's…slow. She is embracing me again, she looks so peaceful, here in my lap. If I hurt her why does she do this. I shouldn't think about it, I should just do something sing a tune? Watch her? No, I'll just sit here.
Her hair, it looks so soft, it feels…wonderful, I'll just stroke her hair, that's all I'll do. It's all I can do. Saria, forgive me for not loving you, I'll make it up to you some how.

ok some of you are probably thinking that with a name like behind the throne this is about Zelda and Link, but what's a story with out surprises and prolongings. As I said this is mainly a warm up chapter so I had to practice. Please review, I hope to improve this style of writing to better myself.
