Disclaimer - Well, it would be nice, but sadly it's not true.
A/N - I love writing song-fics, but they're always difficult because I never know what to write them for, and I sometimes take a while to catch on to the song. This song took a while before I figured out what it meant.
You are my fire
Link was staring after Zelda in a dreamy state.
The one desire
Sweet images of her float in his mind.
Believe when I say
He gets up and starts to follow her through the gardens of Hyrule Castle.
I want it that way
Planning to surprise her with a gift.
But we are two worlds apart
As he walks, he thinks about how unexpected their relationship was. He was a Kokiri, she was a Princess.
Can't reach to your heart
But even now, she seemed distant.
When you say
Fear rustled in his veins. Zelda was probably just being a royal.
I want it that way
Or did she love another?
Tell me why
But after everything they've been through…
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Link's love was genuine, but was hers?
Tell me why
But more fear stirred up. Did Zelda really love him?
Ain't nothing but a mistake
He tried to squash his fears when another question popped up.
Tell me why
If Zelda did not love him, who did she love?
I never want to hear you say
Realizing the Princess had stopped, he crouched in the bushes.
I want it that way
What he saw broke his heart.
Am I your fire
She was speaking, in a manner she had never spoken to Link with, to a handsome boy.
Your one desire
He offered her a ring…
Yes I know it's too late
Link prayed she wouldn't take it.
But I want it that way
But she did.
Tell me why
She hugged him and kissed him.
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Then, he slipped the ring on her finger.
Tell me why
They began conversing again. Again, Zelda spoke affectionately.
Ain't nothing but a mistake
Again, they kissed.
Tell me why
Then, Zelda saw Link, kneeling in the bushes.
I never want to hear you say
She angrily demanded what he was doing, eavesdropping on people.
I want it that way
All Link could do was run away as fast as he could.
Now I can see that we're falling apart
Once outside the castle, he tried to relive all of the good memories.
From the way that we used to be, yeah
Frolicking as innocent children.
No matter the distance
Growing up together.
I want you to know that
The few dates they had as teenagers.
Deep down inside of me
Link tried to remember the few times they had kissed.
You are my fire
But it was pointless
The one desire
If his heart's desire loved another
You are, you are, you are, you are
There was no more purpose for him to live
Don't wanna hear you say
So he would die.
Ain't nothing but a heartache
He arrived at the Temple of Time
Ain't nothing but a mistake
One of the most important places in his first quest
I wanna hear you say
It was most suitable to die here.
I never want to hear you say
He thought of Zelda one final time.
I want it that way
Tell me why
He raised his sword.
Ain't nothing but a heartache
He plunged it deep.
Tell me why
As things began going dark and the pain became unbearable,
Ain't nothing but a mistake
He gasped his last words.
Tell me why
"I loved you."
I never want to hear you say
Then he lay still.
I want it that way
The Hero of Time lay lifeless on the ground, finally free of this world.
A/N - Hmm… I don't usually write cheerful fics. One in every hundred fics is bright or even relatively close to cheerful. Please review me!
