30FF submission. No real warnings except hints at shounen-ai, and if you squint, yaoi.
The oh-so-obvious DISCLAIMER: I do not own Legend of Zelda or any if its characters, main plot line, monster, bosses and the like. However I DO own the storyline.
People promise "Forever." Is it really that? Time is relative; the past for me is the possible future. However, the past is also the present, and even nonexistent. The future is also the present, the past, yet as well as nonexistent. The present is the past and my future and my present and nonexistent in another timeline. I have learnt, though, how to cope with all of this. The Dark Times is when Ganon ruled, the now is while Zelda's father still reigns, my first adulthood is who I was seven years into Ganon's rule and my childhood was before the Deku Tree sent me on my quest. I was currently living as a teenager in the now. But I'm getting off of the topic.
Forever cannot be defined, time changes. Some people view forever as the first few years of newlyweds, some view it as the time until they die. How I view it, well I don't, and if I had to, it would be every time line, alternate or not, every life time, Goddess blessed or not, and every time He existed.
Because forever cannot exist, unless he does too.

I promised "Forever." What did I mean? Forever was a depressing word. It represented eternity, a never ending wheel of time. It could be seen as romantic, yes, but for me it is an eternal being. My past, present and future does not exist, it is all merged together into this Forever being that haunts me, and will never stop. Even after I die, even after my body decays into dust, I am bound to this Forever, forever. My soul, my blood I will surely pass on, it is bound. Existence is nothing when it stands next to this Forever, it is a minor screw in the construction of the wheel, necessary but replaceable. Even if time was relative, Forever could never be.
Forever was stretched across time itself, blanketing it as it grows. As time flexes, forever just grows. People may view it differently, but that is its truth. Forever cannot be broken, but only thinned. Divorces may be rare, but you are still bound to them, you will always still love them.
Because I promised him forever, I cannot deny.
...
They promised "Forever." Did they mean it? They danced together, lived together, loved together. Their beliefs varied but joined at the most important part. It connected their times, their memories and their existence. It stretched and covered, it spun and spun, it made sense, it never ended. It changed to adapt to them, changed to fulfil their promise.
Forever's definition was ever-changing, yet constant. It flexed to adapt, but didn't change at the core. It fits everybody's views, and tries to fulfil the promises made to it.
Forever was finally believed and fulfilled.
Had my friend pick randomly from the list xD. I had plenty of clichéd ideas for this one, but I realized most of them were already taken, so I wanted to try something new. I liked how this one came out. Originally it was supposed to be only Link's PoV on the matter but, it was too short and I couldn't extend it without ruining it. So, instead, I added Sheik's PoV and finally a conclusion that is omniscient xD I didn't feel names were necessary though. Critique welcome!
