So I've been thinking of doing this for a little bit. It takes place a few hours after Phantom hourglass ends. Enjoy


~..::..(First Kiss)..::..~

"Link I'm okay please stop babying me." Tetra said as Link tried to spoon feed her some soup. Link shot her an annoyed look and grunted while placing the spoon closer to her mouth. Tetra sighed; she knew he wasn't going to stop until she at least ate something. The thing was though she wasn't hungry. Sure she had been turned to stone for a few weeks but she wasn't hungry though. However Link wouldn't have it and sent the Captain to bed to rest. She only complied because of all he went through to free her from her stone prison earlier that day.

Anyone else who had the gall to order her on her ship would have walked the plank for sure, so he should have considered himself lucky. Tetra rolled her eyes and slowly opened her mouth letting Link place the warm spoon into her mouth and tilting it the handle up so the liquid went into her mouth. Tetra closed her mouth and swallowed and then smiled.

"Mm...Oh so good...I'm stuff, thanks Link." She said. Link continued to look at her annoyed; he wasn't in the mood for her attitude at the moment. Why couldn't she see that he is worried about her and wants to take care of her? Link placed the spoon back in the bowl and brought another spoon full close to her mouth.

"Link I can feed my self...I'm completely fine. I'm not hungry and I'm not tired. I need to go back and command my ship." She said and started to get off the bed. She was surprised when she felt Link place his hand on her chest and forced her back onto the bed. That was the final straw, who did he think he was to man handle her, she was Captain not him. This was her room on her ship.

"What do you think..." she started to yell but suddenly stopped when she looked into his eyes. He still looked upset, but what caught her attention were the small tears forming at the corner of his eyes. "Link..." she quietly said. Link sniffled and rubbed his eyes before placing the spoon close to her face again. Tetra stared into his eyes that looked like he was trying his best not to cry. Tetra's shoulders sank and she sighed.

"At least let me have enough dignity to feed myself. I'll eat it all if you let me do that...I promise." She said. Link stared at her with his face changing into one of concern. He lowered his gaze to the bowl and placed the spoon back in it. Then he handed her the bowl. She took it and grabbed the spoon and placed it in her mouth. Link quickly stood from her bed and stepped outside and continued walking until he made his way onto the deck.

Tetra stared at the empty door way wondering what his deal was. Well she sure wasn't going to just sit on her bed while he goes soaking around for some reason. She moved the covers off of her and sat up from the bed. She placed the bowl of soup on her desk and walked out of her room and up onto the deck. The sun had set and the night stars were out. She started to looked around but wasn't able to find him. Then she looked up at the lookout nest and suddenly got a strong sense that he was up there. She made her way to the ladder and started to climb up it. When she made it to the top like she figured the green clothed hero was there leaning over the edge while looking out at sea. Tetra narrowed her brow and finished climbing up.

"So are you going to tell me what's wrong?" She asked while crossing her arms. Link didn't seem to even acknowledge her being right behind him. "Link answer me." She said. He still didn't answer. Getting very pissed off she curled her fingers into a fist and approached him. She placed one of her hands on his shoulder and with all of her strength forced him to turn around. As he spun around she opened her mouth to give him a shouting of a life time. However her words got stuck in her throat when she noticed his red puffy eyes and so many tears running down his cheeks. Suddenly all of her anger had just vanished without a trace. If she tried to yell at him she would feel horrible about it. Her mouth had been slightly gaped for a while as she looked at the hero of winds crying in front of her. When she closed her mouth she felt that it was bone dry. She moved her tongue around trying to moisten it. Once it returned to normal she crossed her arms.

"Are you going to talk to me or what?" She asked. Link lowered his gaze down to his feet for a few moments. "Link...Talk to me." She said. However Link remained silent. After a while Tetra rolled her eyes and started to make her way back down the ladder. If he wasn't going to talk then she wouldn't force him to.

"You have no idea." He softly said to her. Tetra stopped and moved her gaze back to Link.

"What?" She asked. Link sniffled before continuing.

"You have no idea what I went through." He said. She knew he was talking about what all he did trying to cure her from Bellum's stone curse. However he was wrong. She did know, she had seen it as if it was a dream.

"Link I know what all you went through...Remember I saw it all." She said. Link turned around so his back was facing her.

"No...You have no idea what I went through..." He said and turned around and placed his hand over his heart, "in here." Tetra blinked a few times.

"You have no idea what I went through...the whole time...I blamed myself for what happened to you Tetra...I-I failed to protect you." He cried. Tetra let her arms hang to her side as the realization hit her. This was why he was being so over protective.

"Link its not..." she started.

"No." He called out. His sudden outburst startled her for a second, "Don't you dare say it wasn't my fault...it was all of my fault...I shouldn't have let you near that ghost ship...I knew something was off about it but I didn't think of what could have happened...Tetra I'm so so sorry." He said and dropped to his knees and cried into his hand.

"Link..."

"I'm so sorry...If I hadn't been able to break the curse I would have never forgiven myself. Even though you are safe now I still can't forgive myself for what happened...I failed you." Tetra instantly dropped to her knees and forced Link into a hug.

"Don't." She firmly said, "Don't ever say that you failed me...Because you haven't failed me...not once...How were you suppose to know what would have happened...if I could go back and know what would have happened...I still would have went on that ship...Do you want to know why?" She asked. After a few moments of silence she felt Link nod his head.

"Because I would rather it happen to me instead of you...Link what you went through...you did it all for me...if it had been you...I just wouldn't have been able to do what you did...And I would have lost you...If anything bad were to ever happen to one of us I would rather take it instead of you...Because you would always find a way to fix it. You are stronger than me Link." Link lifted his head and looked at Tetra and could see she was also crying.

"I'm...I'm sorry about earlier...I just want to take care of you. I just want to know that you are alright." He said. Tetra gently moved her hand and softly caressed his cheek. As she did this she noticed how he instantly calmed down.

"You are my crew mate...You are my best friend...You are my hero...You are my Link." She said and moved her face closer to his and gently placed her lips against his kissing him. Link could feel his face turn red as he experienced his first real kiss. The fact that it was with Tetra, the girl he cared so much for only made the kiss even more special. When she pulled away he could also see that she was blushing. She then cuddled up next to him while wrapping her arms around him as he did the same to her. After a few moments she spoke up.

"Are you okay now?" She asked and then felt him nod his head. Tetra smiled and then lifted her head up and kissed his cheek. "I'm getting a bit tired...If you want you can tuck me in." She said.

Back in her room Tetra laid down on her bed. Link approached her and grabbed her covers and brought them over her body. He brushed some of her hair behind her ear and gave her a goodnight kiss to her forehead. She smiled at him and then decided to head to bed himself. Before he made it to the door way Tetra called out.

"Link." She said. Link paused and turned around and looked at her. "Thank you so much for saving me." She said. Link smiled and nodded before leaving her room and closing the door. Tetra stared at the wooden door and suddenly blushed at the thought of their kiss. Her first kiss, and it wasn't with some drunk or anyone like she thought she would have. It was with Link, a guy she actually cared deeply for. Tetra grinned and giggled softly to herself. She then noticed the bowl of soup was still at her desk. She also noticed there was still steam coming from it, meaning it was still hot.

The pirate Captain moved from her bed and approached the table. Holding the bowl in her hands she started to drink its contents. It was certainly a different taste from what was normally made. Suddenly she got the feeling that Link made it himself Just for her. At this thought she smiled and finished the meal before heading back to bed.
