When Link woke up one morning in his small tree house in Ordon Village, the first thing he noticed was that someone had been in there. The curtains were pulled back with flowery ribbons, his clothes (which had been thrown on the floor the night before) were folded neatly next to the door, and all of the trash in his room was obviously thrown away.
"H-hello?" squeaked Link. It was a rare thing to hear him talk. Most people thought that he was mute. He sat up in bed. "Hello?"
Nobody responded. He threw off the covers and pulled on a pair of pants. They were clean. He opened the door to his house and walked out onto the balcony. Much to his surprise, Ilia was watering the (dead) plants on his balcony.
She turned around to see him standing there. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "Someone finally decided to wake up!" her voice was dripping with sarcasm. Link reeled backward. She stood up. Something about her struck as beautiful to Link. He shook off the thought. Ilia was his friend. Nothing more.
She strolled into his house, leaving the door open for Link. He followed her inside.
"Now, if you haven't noticed already, I cleaned up the house for you. It was SO messy. And I washed Epona in the spring." She explained, sitting down on his bed. "I kind of wanted to do something with you today, Link. Just the two of us. Together. I wanted to maybe go see Faron Province or Faron Woods. We could take Epona, or walk, either is fine."
Link sat down next to her. He was a quiet person. She respected that. He blinked twice. That usually meant that he was listening. Ilia had to fill the silence.
"Well, do you want to? I just wanted to spend some time with you, away from Ordon." She whispered.
He smiled. He reached over gingerly and lightly grabbed Ilia's hand. She smiled up at him.
"I'd like that." He whispered. She bit her bottom lip and grinned. Link reached up with his other hand and rested it on her cheek. He leaned in, closer and closer, until-
"LIIIINNNKKK!?!?" screamed a voice from outside. It was Talo's. Link was so surprised; he practically flew to the ceiling. Ilia silently swore under her breath. The perfect moment, ruined! Link ran over to the window and peeked out. Talo waved up to him. "Link! Rusl needs to see you, now!"
Link walked back across his room and picked up a clean white shirt and pulled it over his head. His dirty blonde hair stuck out in little spikes. Ilia looked down at her hands, embarrassed.
"I'll be back." Link called out to her as he walked out the door.
Please reviewww! I will add much more, as this is only the beginning. The beginning of what?! DUN DUN DUN. ~Vessipan
