A/N: Ugh! I'm sorry for changing and changing my chapters! It seems that I can never get a new chapter job until I change the other chapters. :P But I did this for a good reason and that is for to make this fanfic better. I changed how they talk in this fanfic so they now talk properly. Now, I may not be a expert on writing the characters to talk properly but I'll catch up as I go along. I just want to make this fanfic a good one so you can all enjoy what I write. =-) That's all I'm doing. The first time I re-did this fanfic was for a very good reason and that was because Link and Zelda were having too much romance…relations. I'm a Christian now so I have to be careful of what I write because we all know doing it before marriage is a sin. Never do that before marriage; if you know it's wrong then don't do it. Otherwise, why do it? Just so you can make a mistake on purpose? We all don't want to make mistakes but we do without knowing. We're not perfect.
Okay, now that my rambling is done I'll let you read. Hehehe. I wish my computer screen wasn't so big and wide!
Link briskly walked in Telma's bar that Princess Zelda and her father, King Dobra was staying at until their palace was constructed. Despite wanting to take his time on walking, he didn't want to be late on the king. Link had gotten a letter from the fair king, saying he wanted Link to come down to the bar A.S.A.P. Link thought it was rather urgently; so he had to leave Ordon on Epona quickly and managed to go to Hyrule within the next day.
As Link walked down the halls that lead to a big room that was set for Princess Zelda and her father, where Telma told him it was at, Link's thought about Princess Zelda. She had to have a suitable suitor, and those other boring stuff that Zelda thought of. Little did Link know that Princess Zelda had her eyes on him, and only him. At some points when they were talking privately or taking a walk around Hyrule, she would sometimes act weird, talk in an odd, almost sexy, slow voice, and would even batter her eyes at him. Link thought she was sick and had asked Zelda that one day after she did those things...but he ended up getting a slap in the face. Link, being a young man, didn't know what caused her to do that. He was just so confounded that day.
Link believed that her father had noticed that she was doing the voice, the eyes, and the tone with him, even when they were in his presence. Sometimes, Link was just frightened at how she acted around him. It wasn't her. Princess Zelda usually doesn't act like that, and it certainly wasn't her. Link didn't had a clue what she was doing, or even trying to do for the matter, until her father told him that Princess Zelda was flirting with him. At that statement, it made Link blush red. Nobody has flirted with him before, even a beautiful young woman such as Princess Zelda. It made Link slightly happy that Zelda, a princess, has been flirting with him, for he had an eye for her but was afraid to tell her how he felt about her. It wasn't until the day before he got the letter when he just came back from defeating Ganondorf.
When Link approached the door, there were two guards on each side of the door, their sword pulled out and held in front of them against their chest. They noticed instantly when he approached and bowed, taking a hold of the doorknobs and opening them for him.
"They're waiting for you, Master Link," the guard on the left said, both he and the other guard still bowing. Link nodded, telling them thank you and with a deep breath, he walked in the room, the doors closing behind him when he entered.
Directly across from him, the king was sitting at a long, round table at the side of the room, his arms neatly on the table. To Link's luck and disluck, Zelda was sitting by her father, reading a piece of paper. When the doors slammed closed, Princess Zelda looked up and a smile slowly crept onto her lips. Link smiled back slightly and turned to the king.
"Sit down, Link," King Dobra said, motioning with his hand to tell Link to sit at the table. Link walked towards the table and sat himself in a seat, him being across King Dobra and Zelda.
"Hello, Link," Zelda said, using that flirting voice of hers. King Dobra gave her an evaluated look, though Zelda ignored it. Link felt a blush come upon his cheeks, but he spoke.
"Hello…Zelda…" he managed to croak out, his throat suddenly becoming very dry. Zelda grinned at him mentioning her first name. Throughout their walks and talks, Zelda had precisely said to Link to call her Zelda, for she thought him calling her 'Princess' seemed wrong, since they were good friends and all. Link took a glance at Dobra to see if he minded that Link had called Zelda by her first name. He seemed to not of have minded.
"I have brought you down here because I want to thank you properly," Dobra began, sitting up straighter in his seat. "I have a reward for you for saving Hyrule…and my daughter."
"Think nothing of it, sir," Link said, offering him a smile. "I'd save Zelda and Hyrule any day." A relived expression washed on Dobra's face, as Zelda just flushed, fingering her fingers.
"Well," the king began. "I'm glad. But I feel the need to thank you. So, I present to you with this…" At said that, a guard then walked beside Dobra and handed him a big bag. When it made a noise of it sounding like coins when Dobra sat it on the table, Link then knew it was rupees. King Dobra slid the bag towards Link, who stopped it from sliding off the table easily. "One thousand rupees," he continued. Link's eyes widened at that and his mouth agape a little, looking down at the bag. Dobra laughed, as did Zelda, but softly. Link looked up when she laughed and smiled. "Please Link, take it. As thanks to my gratitude."
It was silent for a moment. Link looked down at the bag full of rupees and then at King Dobra and then the lovely Princess Zelda. She gave him a simply, regular smile, which Link smiled back to with a small nod. Link looked back down at the bag again and thought for a moment. He couldn't take the rupees; it would feel like was stealing from the king, that he was just greedy and wanted the rupees for himself when he really didn't need it. So Link pushed the bag of rupees back to King Dobra. "I thank you for your gracious offer, your majesty, but I object."
"Wha-what?" Dobra stuttered, standing up quickly, as did Zelda. Both of them had shock expressions on their faces, and Link couldn't but help chuckle at that to himself. "Why is that? I mean, money makes everyone happy!"
"But not I," Link replied, standing up and making his way towards the door. "Money does not make me happy."
"What is it you wish for?" The king's words stopped Link in his tracks. Link turned around as Dobra spoke again. "Anything you ask, you'll get it. Anything to make you happy, you'll get. We can't have a wistful hero to save Hyrule." Link shook his head.
"Something that I can't have," he said sadly, his eyes on Zelda. "I wish for the most wonderful woman in Hyrule. But I cannot have her."
"And why is that?" Dobra pushed, crossing his arms, a foul look on his face. "Surly with your handsome looks you can get any woman you want."
"Except for the one I want."
"And who is this woman you speak of?"
Link hesitantly answered. He chose his words carefully so his secret wasn't out, yet the king managed to turn the tables. He was a smart king that was for sure. "Your daughter…"
Zelda gasped, putting a hand lightly to her mouth and the king's eyes widened.
"What?!" he exclaimed, a little too loudly. Link did not flinched, nor did Zelda, but the guards in the room did, for they were standing right by him.
"Link…" Zelda whispered, going around the table and running to him. When she reached him, she placed her hands on his chest, which Link took her hands gently and they both stared into each other's eyes. "Do you really mean that? Am I that mystery woman that you speak of all the time?"
Link blushed, not really knowing that he had even talked about the 'mysterious woman' during their time together but nonetheless, Link nodded.
"Yes," Link whispered back. "You are."
All Zelda did was look into his eyes, uncertain in hers. She was certain that she loved him, but she was uncertain if Link really did want her. He could have any woman but he chose her. Zelda must admit; she did felt flattered. But her father didn't.
"Unbelievable…" he whispered.
"Zelda, I've love you ever since I met you," Link began, taking a deep breath to gather up his courage. "I've loved you always, even when we had our arguments. They were silly ones to fight over, but I still loved you. No one, not even goblins can't stop me from loving you so." One of Zelda's wrists got out of Link's grasp and went up to his cheek and caressed it. "I should've said this ever since we were little, even if we didn't think of it as love."
"What is it, Link?" Zelda asked, curiously and softly. Link let out a breath before he spoke.
"I love you."
It was said with so much passion and love that it took Zelda and her father off guard. Dobra, who was currently looking down and shaking his head at Link's words, slowly looked up when he heard Link. He looked at Link curiously, wondering what he'll do next, or what his daughter would do.
It seemed slow for Link. He was waiting patiently yet impatiently for Zelda's answer, or even action. If she loved him, then he'd stick with her no matter what. But, if she didn't…then Link would walk out of her life, let her be with a suitor.
"Link…I…" Link nodded, telling her to continue. "I love you too. I feel the same way about you. Whenever I battered my eyes at you or used that sort of sexy tone in my voice, it was because-" Zelda was cut off when Link placed his arms around Zelda's back, his hands on her waist, and pulled her to him, their lips meeting. Zelda's stomach tingled at Link's lips on hers. It almost made her cry. All these years…the daydreams…the thoughts…he did love her, and she loves him. It was really what they both wanted; each other.
Zelda ran a hand through Link's hair as they kissed. Link's hands tightened on her waist. They kissed slowly but passionately, letting their emotions for each other spill out in their first kiss. Link deepened the kiss by pressing Zelda's head closer to his with his hand. Zelda's hands found Link's cheeks and cupped them while King Dobra just stood there, shocked to see his daughter to kiss a poor boy. He interrupted their kiss by clearing his throat. They broke apart and turned to Dobra, Link's arm snaked around Zelda's waist and Zelda's hand on his shoulder.
"Well…" Dobra trailed off. "It seems that you care about my daughter very much." Link nodded.
"Very much, sir," he said, looking down at her. "I love her." Zelda smiled and looked up at him. She leaned up and placed her head against Link's, him closing his eyes.
"And Zelda, do you feel the same?" Dobra asked, putting his arms behind his back. Zelda nodded.
"I love him so much it hurts."
"Very well…" Dobra pondered, rubbing his chin. It was then that Link opened his eyes and looked at the king and then at Zelda. He broke away from their embrace and got on one knee, grasping Zelda's hand.
"Sir," Link began, getting the king's attention, who was startled to see what Link was doing, just as Zelda. "I wish for Zelda's hand in marriage."
The king just stood there, smiling and chuckling. Link bit his lip as he answered. "You shall." Zelda gasped in happiness and Link smiled, turning to Zelda and standing up.
"Marry me," he said simply, his eyes burning in hers. Zelda smiled tearfully.
"YES!" she yelled, throwing herself in Link's arms, bringing his face to her lips. As they began to kiss passionately, Link grinned against their lips. Perhaps the fairy tales that were read to him as a child were real…
"Can you believe it?"
Link looked down at Zelda, brushing a one of her front braids out of her face. They were both by Link's house, Zelda lying down, her hands propped behind her head and Link sitting beside her. Since Zelda had no place to go, Link asked for permission from her father if he could take her to Ordon; he accepted. Link knew she would've got bored at Telma's bar.
Zelda, being a princess and all, was supposed to pick a suitor and get married to him, although Zelda hadn't chosen anyone. Most of the prince's were snobby and or spoiled, which she didn't take a liking to that at all. Zelda was unspoiled; she didn't ask for anything, not unless it was something she needed. Never have she ever been spoiled. She was taught to think of others and not of herself. To Link, she was just so incredibly wonderful.
"Believe what?" Link asked lying down beside Zelda and drawing her into his arms, then placed around her waist. He placed his hand on Zelda's neck and stroked his thumb on the side of it. "That I'm engaged an incredibly beautiful woman?"
Zelda flushed and looked down, a smile gracing her pink lips. "Thank you for the compliment, Link," she said, keeping her head down, the smile still on her lips. Link smiled at it and thought about kissing those small, reduce lips but Link kept his control. He would have to if he was going to wait to be her husband until their wedding."But, in my state of opinion, I doubt I am nearly as beautiful as you say I am.
"Oh, yes you are," Link whispered.
Indeed Zelda was beautiful. Her light, long, brown hair was braided into three braids, a thin, white cloth wrapped around them to keep them in hold in place. The dress she wore was simply beautiful. It was mostly white but at the bottom of the dress was designs of that was a symbol of Hyrule. On over on the top of her dress, she wore a smooth, purple vest. It looked furry but it was smooth if you ran your fingers over it. On her head was the crown that told everyone she was the princess. The jewels in it were stunning but not as stunning as Zelda, even though she had a petite form. The gloves she wore reached all the way to her elbows; now that was something like would consider as a long glove! In front of the bottom dress was a design cloth attach to the middle of the bottom. It had these symbols and decorations on it. It almost looked like a code for some kind of secret or something. But Link knew it was symbols of Hyrule. And to go with the dress, she was wearing sandals.
"Do you know how many times you were on my mind during my journey?" Zelda looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with curiousness. "I've always thought about you. Never have I pushed a single thought about you away in my mind. You were always on my mind numerous times; it was hard to not to think about you." Zelda smiled softly at Link and he couldn't hold back when he saw that smile. He leaned in and gave her a peck on the lips. "And, not to mention, I was worried when I saw you trapped in the triforce unconscious."
Zelda took Link's hand that was on her neck and caressed his palm, looking deeply into his eyes with love and sincere. "But I'm just fine, Link," Zelda whispered.
"Yes, but when I saw you, I thought you were hurt," Link said in a quiet voice. He then smiled and kissed her head. "It was the first thing that came into my mind. But I'm glad you're fine."
Zelda smiled and placed her head on Link's shoulder while Link brought an arm around her back and began to rub it. Link placed his chin on Zelda's head and pulled her closer to him. Zelda was falling asleep from Link rubbing her back. She herself began to trace shapes on Link's chest in a lazy manner, trying not to go to sleep by Link. It was always easy for her to fall asleep.
The moment was just...perfect. The crickets were chirping their legs together, making the moment even more perfect for the two. A small breeze blew through but that didn't stopped Zelda from being in Link's arms. She was warm in his hold and barley felt the breeze when it swept through. Though when she shivered slightly, she just cuddled in Link's arms, which he had his arms tighten around her. The moon shone brightly, reflecting on Zelda's face, making her look even more truly beautiful than she was. No words were really needed for how beautiful Zelda was; it was too hard to describe for Link. All he could think of was that she's the beautifulest woman Hyrule, or in their case Ordon. He could barley believe when she chose him and not some suitor. It truly did make him think that fairy tales do exist.
Finally, after nearly falling asleep by Link's rubbing, Zelda shook herself awake, for she was half asleep. She took Link's hand, halting him in his tracks.
"Stop it!" she said. Link grinned.
"What?" He knew what the answer was but he just wanted to play. Throughout the secret walks and talks they had, even if they weren't allow seeing each other. Link knew what make her tick, what made her sad, what made her happy and most importantly, what annoyed her and where her tickle spot were.
"Stop rubbing my back," Zelda said, taking Link's hand off her back. "It's making me sleepy." Link raised an eyebrow, as if he didn't know.
"I'm doing that?"
"Yes, you're doing that," Zelda said in a low voice, imitating Link. He laughed and leaned in to kiss Zelda. Their lips met and Zelda wrapped her arms around Link's neck, kissing him back, tiling her head to the side. As the kiss grew, Link daringly, but slowly slide his tongue in Zelda's mouth. He didn't know if Zelda would pull away and slap him or if she would just kiss him back. He certainly hopes she would do the second part.
Zelda's eyes widened when she felt his tongue slide in her mouth and she gasped lightly, but responded by doing the same thing, putting a hand at the back of his head. She pulled his head closer to hers and Link groaned at that, excitement and a little bit of pleasure filling in him. It sparked inside of him that made his stomach do flips. There were some women in Link's life. Some he had kissed, some he had even had taken a liking to but he never courted. He had like many women and girls...that is until he realized he fell in love with Zelda.
In the kiss, she was pouring her emotions in the kiss. The love, care and passion they held for each other. As well as Link, but with an extra feeling. And it was happiness. Happy that she chose him, happy that she didn't turned him down or the proposal. Happy that she loved him back. At the moment she accepted the proposal, Link felt like the happiest man in Hyrule.
After a few minutes, they pulled away, breathless. Link smiled softly. "I love you," he murmured, placing a hand on her cheek. Zelda smiled, tears at the corner of her eyes. Oh how long she waited for someone to tell her that was besides her father. To say it to her with love and that really meant it. To say it for whom truly did love her.
"I love you too," Zelda said, taking Link's hands in her own.
A breeze then blew, blowing Zelda's braids and Link's green, long hat. Zelda looked at him and noticed that he had a couple of cuts on his face. Some parts of his tunic were ripped slightly. He looked dirty from fighting the goblins and mini bosses, and his hair was tousled a little, but still had that loveable smile on his face. Zelda assumed that when they sent the letter, Link had just probably gotten back to Ordon and didn't have a chance to wash up. Zelda smiled and placed her hand on Link's cheek, fingering the cuts. He flinched and Zelda pulled away quickly, feeling guilty that she had caused the pain to Link; but he shook his head.
"It wasn't you," he said. "My back is just a little sore."
Zelda frowned and sat on her knees. "Do you want me to rub it?" Link grinned.
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
Zelda smiled and got behind Link. She placed her hands on Link's back and began rubbing his back gently. Every now and then, he would groan and Zelda would kiss him.
"Zelda…" Link trailed off after a moment or two.
"Yes, Link?" Zelda asked, moving her hand to Link's shoulder blades and began to rub it there. He groaned again as he turned his head around to Zelda.
"I must know," he began. Zelda nodded, telling him to continue. "Have you…ever courted anyone before me?"
Zelda smirked, chuckling to herself. No wonder why he was quiet. He was afraid that there was once someone in her life before she met him, someone that she loved. Zelda couldn't blame him. She too have wondered if Link ever courted a woman or a girl or at least had someone special to him as they rode to Ordon but she didn't ask. Deciding to tease him, she kept the smirk on her face.
"Have you ever courted anyone before me?"
Although Zelda was only joking, she was serious at the same time. What if she wouldn't do a good job at being his fiancé or wife? What if she made him upset? What if she doesn't give him enough love, or too much love? Other thoughts swarm her head, but she pushed them aside as Link frowned. Zelda bit her lip, her hands tightening on his shoulder blades, making the muscles in there hurt just a little. Link winced but he just shifted himself. When Link mumbled something, Zelda couldn't understand what it was, for it was above a whisper.
"I'm sorry, what?" she asked, putting a hand to her ear and cupping it.
"There..." Link began but stopped, afraid of how Zelda would think. He felt Zelda release her tight grip on him and began to rub his shoulder blades, he felt more relaxed. "There have been some women and girls that I took a liking to. They were just crushes, though. And then there were me kissing women and girls. But they were just kisses, Zelda." Link told her that when he felt her tighten her grip on him once again. "I never kissed them like I just kissed you. But no, I haven't courted a woman or a girl before."
"And nor have I with a man or a boy." Link seemed relieved and Zelda smirked at that, knowing what he was thinking. "What's wrong? Relieved?" Link grinned and fully turned to Zelda.
"Well, if you did court some man or boy before me, then I would have to be better than him." Zelda tapped her finger, pretending to think. She then smiled and shook her head, placing her arms around Link and pulling herself to him.
"Let's just hope that we'll keep it this way," Zelda said, snuggling to him. Link was confused at first after saying what she said in his head a couple of times, he understood. She meant their relationship as to be husband and wife.
"Of course!" Link exclaimed, hugging Zelda to him and looking down at her. "After waiting all these years? I would never dream of breaking our new relationship that we shall experience, Zelda. Why are you worried about that?"
Zelda shook her head. "It's not that," she said. "I'm worried that I'm going to ruin our relationship after we're married." Link raised an eyebrow.
"And why is that?" Link asked. Zelda slowly looked up at Link. There was something in her eyes but Link couldn't make it out.
"I was always told that I seemed like the one to break a relationship with someone," Zelda admitted, her hands going to the collar of Link's tunic and grasping on it. "And I guess I just believed them."
Link smiled and kissed Zelda's cheek and shook his head, for that her thought words weren't needed. He looked up at the sky, guessing it must've been almost midnight and looked down at Zelda.
"I should probably get you to Uli and Rusl's," he said, getting her attention. He saw the frown in her eyes and he smiled, smoothing out her hair. "Don't worry, I'll still be here. I already told them about you and had they promise that they won't treat you like a princess." Zelda closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment or two, she opened her eyes and smiled.
"Thank you."
Link knocked on Uli and Rusl's door with Zelda shyly behind him, clutching his hand. Link felt sorry for her. She was probably nervous around new people. As long as he knew Zelda, she never did have over her shyness of meeting new people. She always had these thought of 'What if'. 'What if they don't like me?', 'What if they think I'm not nice enough?', 'What if none of them likes me?'. It always drove her up the wall and Link down the wall. He, on the other hand, got over his shyness when he met Zelda. She always told him that it's how you act towards people if they will like you or not. If you're nice to them, they'll accept you. If you're rude to them, they won't accept you as much but still will but most likely get slightly annoyed at times.
As the door opened, Zelda gulped and a man and woman appeared at the entryway. The woman had cropped, short blonde hair and the man had blonde brown-ish hair. They smiled at Link and greeted him, who greeted them back kindly. It was then a boy, perhaps around eight or so ran towards the entryway and grinned at Link.
"Link!" he exclaimed, running towards him. Link let go of Zelda's hand and kneeled down to Colin's height and pulled him in a hug. After they broke away, Colin noticed Zelda as Link stood up and grinned, walking towards her and surprisingly, giving her a hug. Zelda looked down at him in surprise. Usually no child would do that if they were near her; just shyly wave, but this child however was different.
"Um…" Zelda bit her lip in unsure and nervousness but she could tell that the child was friendly and smiled gently at him. "Hello, there." Colin looked up at her grinned, possibly recognizing her. He took her hand and led her a few feet from Link, pointing at her.
"Look, dad!" he said, beaming. "It's Princess Zelda!" Rusl chuckled.
Rusl ruffled Colin's hair. "Keep an eye on your sister until we get back in, okay?" Colin nodded, let go of Zelda's hand, and ran inside. Link stood beside Zelda and leaned to her ear as Rusl and Uli looked after Colin.
"That's Colin, their son." A realization crept on Zelda's face and she nodded. "His sister is a new born baby that was born a couple weeks ago." Zelda wanted to go "Awww" but she held it back. As Rusl and Uli turned back to Link and Zelda, they smiled at them.
"Well…Zelda…I'm Rusl," the older man began, taking Zelda's hand and shaking it. Next was the woman. "And this is my wife, Uli." Zelda smiled, feeling less uncomfortable.
"It's a pleasure to meet you both," she said. The couple smiled and bowed jokingly to her. Zelda laughed and Link smiled to himself.
At least she seems a little comfortable… he thought to himself. Rusl turned to Link and stepped down the porch and put a friendly arm around Link's shoulder.
"Don't worry about her, Link," Rusl said. "We'll make sure she gets comfortable." Link smiled.
"Thank you, Rusl," he said. Rusl patted Link on the shoulder and walked up to the porch with Uli. Zelda turned to Link and gave him a hug, who hugged her back and kissed her head.
"I'll see you tomorrow, right?" Zelda asked as she and Link pulled away. Link smiled.
"I don't see why not." Zelda giggled and walked into the house with Rusl and Uli. Before walking fully into the house with them, she stopped and turned around, a smile on her lips.
"I love you!" she called out to him. Rusl and Uli looked at each other, smiles on their faces as they watched. Link blushed but called back to her.
"I love you too!"
Zelda grinned before walking in the house. Once they were in, Link began to walk off and Uli shut the door behind them.
"Well…" Rusl began, clearing his throat. "I think I'll go and see how Colin is holding up with the baby." Uli nodded and with that, Rusl walked off. As Uli locked the door for the night, she looked at Zelda, who was shifting nervously. Uli chuckled and put a hand on Zelda's shoulder.
"Would you like anything to eat? Drink?" she asked in a friendly tone. Zelda smiled and shook her head.
"No thank you," Zelda said. "If you don't mind, I think I'll just head to bed."
"Of course." Uli nodded. She led Zelda into the spare room that she was going to stay in and opened the door for her. Inside it was a bed on the left side, a desk at the right side, which had drawers, pens, paper, and even drawing and writing paper. By the desk was a light green door, which was to be a closet for Zelda and by the bed was a nightstand that held a small lamp, which the nightstand held a small drawer. The sheet on the bed where blue and they looked silky and smooth, which Zelda confirmed it as the sort kind of silky sheets when she walked towards the bed and ran her fingers down it. On the middle of the bed was a nightdress.
When Uli saw Zelda picking up the nightdress, she smiled. "We bought that for you. Link sent a letter to us right before you two took off here, saying that you'll need some sort of sleeping wear. So Rusl and I went out to Castle Town and bought you that."
Zelda unfolded the nightdress carefully; afraid she was going to break it. It was a simple nightdress. It was red and had polka dots on it and was long enough to cover most of her legs, and was thankful for that. She remembered back at the castle when she would always have to wear these clothing's to make the suitors more interested in her if they weren't. Zelda didn't approved of it, nor for someone marrying her for her status and body, but she still wore them to please the people and her father.
Zelda turned to the woman and smiled. "Although you did not have to get me anything, thank you." Uli smiled.
"It was no trouble at all," Uli said. "Good night."
"Night." Zelda smiled at Uli as she walked out of the room and closed the door behind her. Zelda sat down her nightdress and took off her current clothing before putting on her nightdress. She sat the clothing she was wearing earlier at the desk and then went in the bed, getting under the sheets. She closed her eyes and fell asleep with a smile on her face.
"Oy! Link!"
Link went to his window and found Fado standing in front of his house, smiling sheepishly at him. Link smiled and shook his head, chuckling. He left his window, put on his Ordon shirt, for he was wearing the rest of his usual clothing, and climbed down the ladders and then stepped out of his house. He climbed down the ladder that was by the door. When he was close to getting down, he let go of the ladder and landed on his feet, brushing himself.
He turned to Fado and raised an eyebrow.
"As much as I love to help out at the ranch, you do realize it's my day off, right?" Link asked as he walked towards Epona and untied her reins from the side of his house and began to lead her into Ordon, Fado by his side.
"I apologize for it, Link," Fado said, frowning. "They just won't listen to me."
"Maybe that's because you don't have a horse?" Link chuckled. Fado actually considered that for a moment before he repeatedly nod his head.
"Yeah, maybe that's it!" he said, pointing a finger in the air, as if he had figured something out. Link rolled his eyes and halted the three and turned towards Fado, handing him Epona's reins.
"Why don't you rent you Epona?" Link suggested. "Just bring her back when you're done." Link nodded towards behind him, where his house was at.
They were at the entrance of Ordon and Link saw most of the grown-ups out and about, but not the children. Those kids would always sleep in. He looked at Fado, who seemed hesitant.
"I don't know, Lin-"
"No, I insist," Link interrupted, shaking his head. "I have to make sure that Zelda's stay at Uli and Rusl's was alright." He paused for a moment before he continue, picking the right words to say. "She was a little uncomfortable last night."
Fado nodded as he accepted the reins. "How about this?" Fado began. "I'll round 'em up for you and when you put 'em in the barn, I'll give you a week off to relax and be with your fiancé." Fado winked and Link bushed but smiled and nodded.
"Alright," Link agreed. "I'll see you at sunset, then?" Fado nodded, bid him goodbye, and then walked off to the ranch with Epona. Link sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He shook his head, a smile on his lips. Fado could never seize to amaze him or the others of Ordon.
Link then began to go down the path that would lead him to Rusl and Uli's house. Link figured that Zelda would like some fresh air and perhaps a walk around Ordon. She would probably find it better than staying in her room while he was on her journey. He couldn't image him being in his room for how long Zelda was during his journey, and he guessed she was for a while.
Link knew she must've been at least a little uncomfortable around Rusl and Uli, but he didn't know about Colin. He would think she would warm up to the child, seeing as he is just like kitten. Link remembered saving Colin from that green monster but before that, Colin did a brave thing, even the boy thought he couldn't do. He had saved Beth; pushed her out of the way and let the green monster take him instead of Beth. Link would have to talk to Rusl about a medal for Colin.
A few minutes later, after being said hello to by the villagers of Ordon, Link got to Rusl and Uli's house, upon seeing Zelda with Uli and Colin on the porch, chatting. The two women were sitting on the porch while Colin was standing behind Zelda, braiding the back part of Zelda's braid. Link raised his eyebrow at that. He didn't think he wanted to know either.
It was then that Colin, who was finished with the braid, noticed Link and smiled. He ran down the porch and up to Link, hugging his legs. Link stopped and looked down at the boy, who looked up at him and smiled. Link smiled and kneeled down to Colin and brought him into a hug, then started tickling him.
Colin let out a laugh, catching Zelda and Uli's attention as Colin laughed harder. Link laughed as well but not so much as Colin, who was starting to burst out laughing.
"S-stop it, Link!" Colin managed to say, holding his stomach as Link tried to tickle him. "I'm ticklish!"
Link grinned and tickled him some more before he let go of Colin, letting him catch his breath. Zelda giggled and covered her mouth with her hand. Link looked up and smiled, and took note that she was in Uli's old Ordon clothing. She had on a white shirt, which had a small slit on each of the short sleeves, but were held together with thread X's. The collar of the shirt was high on her throat, and like the short sleeves, it had a small slit on it and was tied together the same way. Over the shirt, she wore a green vest that was laced together. The skirt she wore was knee length and beautiful. It was the same forest green as her vest and had simple embroidery of leaves along the bottom. A small slit went up both sides of the skirt for mobility. As for shoes, she was wearing brown boots. Along with it, she was wearing a bandana that made her look even more beautiful than she already was. The green cloth had the same leaf embroideries on it as her skirt. Link's eyes were glued on Zelda, unable to take them away from her. Colin looked between him and Zelda and grinned. He held out his hands and tickled Link. His eyes widened and he began to laugh, turning his attention to Colin.
"Pay back, Link!" Colin smirked. He continued to tickle Link, pleased to get laughter from Zelda and Uli. He knew that Link was very ticklish on his stomach, which is why he chose to tickle him there. It was the ultimate pay back.
"Attack Link!" Zelda yelled a few minutes later, pointing towards the hero. His eyes widened and Colin did what the princess said. He jumped up and knocked Link to the ground, sitting on him and his hands traveling quickly around Link's stomach, where he got burst out laughing from him.
After a few minutes of laughing and tickling, Colin got off of Link and let him catch his breath before he stood up, slightly panting. He looked down at Colin and then at Uli.
"Well, looks like we have another Rusl, Uli," Link said, winking. Uli laughed and nodded her head in agreement.
"Yes," she agreed. "It seems so."
"Hey, Colin!" a voice said. Colin turned around, as did Link while Zelda and Uli looked behind Colin's shoulder.
Talo and Beth were running up to him and when they reached him; they were slightly out of breath. "Do you want to play with us?" Beth asked. Link crossed his arms and smiled. At least Colin had gotten some respect from the kids that were picking on him before.
Colin grinned and nodded.
"Sure!" he said. With that, he said goodbye to Zelda, Uli and Link and ran off with Talo and Beth.
Uli smiled. "I'm glad he has friends now," she said. Link turned to her. "I was starting to worry that only you and Ilia were his friends."
Link nodded. "Yeah, I was feeling the same way," he said. He looked at Zelda at the corner of his eye, finding her playing with her one of her front braids. Uli noticed Link and stood up, letting the two be together alone.
"Well…" Uli trailed off, turning towards the door. "I'm going to go in and see how Rusl and the baby are." Link didn't say anything; he just merely nodded his eyes still on Zelda. As Uli walked in the house, Link let a smile creep on his lips. A moment or two later, Zelda felt eyes on her and looked up at Link, finding him staring at her intently. She smiled.
"What?"
"Nothing," Link said innocently, shrugged. He walked towards her held out his hand. "How about we take a walk around Ordon and then I can introduce you to the mayor?" Zelda smiled and took her hand in his, letting Link help her stand up. And as they began to walk, Link placed his arm around Zelda's waist, his hand taking hers.
"Sounds lovely." Zelda smiled. "But there is no need to introduce me to the mayor. I met him about a couple of months ago in Castle Town. He was getting some food for him and his daughter, I believe." Link raised an eyebrow.
"Couldn't he of go to one of the shops at Ordon and get the food there?" Link asked, wondering why Mayor Bo couldn't do that. Link usually does, but for the little stuff he needs.
"He said that the shop at Ordon didn't have what he wanted," Zelda answered. Link chuckled.
"That's Mayor Bo for you," Link said. "If you don't have what he wants, he'll go to Hyrule to get it."
It was then quiet for a moment, Link showing Zelda around Ordon, telling her what it was and who owns it, and then he showed her a hill that lead to the ranch, which Link told her that every now and then, a goat will get out of the ranch and will come in town, which involves Link to wrestle it and get it back to the ranch. Zelda had to laugh at that when they began to walk towards his house for breakfast.
"Seriously?" she asked, referring to wrestling the goats. Link nodded and Zelda bit her lip to stop the laughter boiling up inside of her.
"The first time I tried it…well…" Link paused for a moment to look at Zelda. "I got trampled by it." Zelda gasped and placed her hand over her mouth to stop the giggles. Link grinned. "So yeah…not one of the best experience with the goats."
"Oh, you poor thing," Zelda cooed, kissing Link's cheek. He blushed slightly. There was a moment of silence until they got to Link's house. They climbed the ladder to the door and then walked in it, where Link walked towards a table that was in the middle of the room and picked up a basket with a couple of eggs in it. Thankfully, Ilia managed to save him some so he wouldn't go hungry, and there were enough for two people.
"Are you hungry?" Link asked as he looked for a pan. After a few minutes of looking, he found one and walked towards the little fire place/oven he had. There was a big pot hanging on a railing in the fireplace and Zelda assumed that's where he cooked his meals.
"Famished!" Zelda exclaimed, giving Link a smile. He looked over his shoulder and smiled before he turned his head back around. He pulled out another railing and hooked the pan to the railings so it would stay. He then put the ingredients to make the eggs and then put it in the pan, where Zelda heard a sizzling noise.
"Do you want me to help?" Zelda asked, putting her arms behind her back. Believe it or not, she knew a thing or two about cooking. It was lucky for her that Impa taught her. Link momentarily stood away from the food and turned to Zelda and shook his head.
"No, no," he said. "I'm making this for you. It's my treat, your Highness." Link jokingly added the bow and Zelda laughed. Link looked up and grinned. Zelda nodded and did the same thing, and went to sit at the table while Link went back to the pan.
After a few minutes or so, Link finished the eggs and then put the servings on two plates and then carried them to the table. He sat one of the plates in front of Zelda, handing her a fork with it and then he sat his plate in front of where he was going to sit, and that was by Zelda.
He turned to her. "Would you like anything to drink?" Link asked. Zelda shook her head.
"No, I'm fine," she said. She then smiled. "Thank you." Link smiled and then sat next to her and they began to eat.
"Mmm…" Zelda said as she popped another piece of egg in her mouth. "This is delicious!" Link beamed.
"Thank you."
Zelda looked at him curiously, leaning on the table. "Where did you learn to cook?"
"Uli taught me," Link answered, taking a bite out of an egg. "Pretty much I've learned what women should learn." Zelda smirked.
"Sewing?" she asked. Link laughed and nodded.
"Actually, yes," Link said, catching Zelda off guard. He noticed her surprise look and chuckled. "That way, I can make my own clothes if I ever need new ones."
Zelda nodded her head, agreeing with him. After they were done eating, they took their plates and sat them by the fire where Link would remind himself to clean the dishes later on.
"So, did you like it?" Link asked, referring to the eggs he had made.
"Yes, it was good," Zelda said. She smiled at him and kissed his cheek, making him blush. "Thank you." Link shrugged.
"I figured that you would be hungry so I'd thought I would make you something," Link said. Zelda smiled sweetly at him before she placed her arms around Link's neck and gave him a hug, her mouth next to his ear.
"I love you," she whispered. Link smiled, placing his arms around Zelda's waist and pulling her closer to him, his cheek on the side of her head.
"I love you too," Link said, lightly putting a kiss on her head. After a few minutes or so, they pulled away and Link traced Zelda's lip with his finger. Zelda giggled slight, her soft, pink lips moving slightly with it, making Link smile. He pressed a little kiss on her lips.
"Link..."
"Yes?"
Zelda looked up, a smirk in her eyes. "I just noticed something." Link raised an eyebrow.
"And what is that?" he asked.
"You have failed to shave."
Link laughed, feeling his chin. Indeed, there were stubs on there. Zelda giggled, running her index finger over the stubs. Link smiled and tilted his head to the side, looking at Zelda's face. There was a smile on her face and he couldn't help but notice the sparkle in her eyes as she looked up at him. Link placed his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to him, leaning her head against his shoulder. Zelda closed her eyes and smiled, letting out a happy sigh. Link looked down at her and kissed her head, his fingers playing with hers.
"So…" Link said after a few minutes of holding her. "What do you want to do?" Zelda looked up at him and shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm not really so sure," she admitted softly. "What do you usually do when you have nothing to do?" Link seemed thoughtful for a moment before he answered.
"I usually go swimming at Zora's Domain." Link smirked at the smile on her face. "You want to go there?" He laughed when she nodded eagerly and grinned, taking her hand. "Okay then! Let's go!" He began to lead her towards the door, but Zelda frowned and stopped him.
"Link, wait," she said, halting him. Link turned around to her, his eyebrow raised. "Won't our cloths get rumple when they dry if wear these to go in the water?" Link chuckled, shaking his head.
"Ordon cloths dry faster the Hyrule cloths." Zelda allowed Link to pull her out the door. She opened her mouth to say something when she saw that Epona wasn't tied to Link's house when she and Link got down from the ladder but Link just shook his head, telling her he had another way. Zelda nodded and he led her into the forest that way by his house. Within a few minutes they were at the spring of the forest, standing only a few feet away from the water. Zelda raised an eyebrow at Link and opened her mouth to speak, but a voice interrupted her.
I sense a hero and a princess in my presence.
At that, the whole spring lit up, decorations of lines that lit up on the rocks appearing and a big, round light ball slowly rose out of the water and transformed into one of the spirit of lights, Ordona. Zelda gasped lightly, putting a hand over her mouth. Link grinned and placed an arm around Zelda. Ordon nodded its head at Zelda, its way of bowing.
It is an honor to meet the Princess Zelda. I've heard many great things about you, and how caring you are.
"Well, the people of Hyrule are right about one thing," Link said, looking down at his fiancé, who looked up at him and smiled when he spoke. "She is caring."
What can I do for you, young hero?
"We wish to go to Zora's Domain," Link replied. "If you don't mind teleporting us there."
No, of course not. If you need to get back to Ordon, just go to the Prince and let him know that I requested for you and Princess Zelda to have a specially made Zora suit for you. So then, if you want to leave, just put the suit on and swim underwater. Don't worry about holding your breath; you'll be able to breathe underwater. Swim until you get to a rock. Open it and swim your way through it. Once you swim through it, you should resurface at the lake of Ordon.
Both Link and Zelda nodded and without another word, Ordona waved his tail and sparkles flew out of it. The sparkles flew towards Link and Zelda, going around in a circle. After a few moments, Link and Zelda were transported into Zora's Domain. They looked around, Link familiar with the place so he knew where exactly they were. Zelda looked at him and smiled when he took her hand, leading her to where the water was. Zelda assumed they were already in the domain, for they then approached a big, wide lake where there were other fish-like blue people with fins on them swimming around. Link jumped in the water and Zelda squealed, covering herself when water splashed on her.
"Hey! Wait for me!" she called out to Link. She jumped into the water and then resurfaced, finding Link just resurfacing as well. He grabbed her by the waist and spun her around. Zelda began to laugh in delight, quickly becoming dizzy from him spinning her. Link noticed her eyes going a little daze and decided to let her go, which she responded to by leaning against him, closing her eyes tightly to stop the dizziness. After a few moments it went away and she looked up at Link, finding him looking down at her, concerned. Zelda smiled and leaned up, pressing her lips onto Link's for a short kiss.
"Don't worry, I'm fine," she said, giving him a smile. Link smiled back and held her to him, placing her on his back as he began to swim. Zelda laughed and she quickly placed her arms around Link's neck tightly, having the best of fun. After a few hours of swimming, splashing, and jumping in the water, enjoying their time together, Link and Zelda got out of the lake and went outside, sitting on a little spot outside of the domain to dry themselves. Zelda sighed as she leaned her head against Link's shoulder, who placed his arm around her shoulders, hugging her to him.
"Did you have fun?" Link asked, looking down at Zelda, who looked up at him and smiled, nodding her head.
"Yes, I did." Link smiled and kissed her head.
"Good," he said. "I always have fun here too. Sometimes I take Colin with me and we have a terrific time. I'm glad you wanted to come here. It relieves me of my stress, even from my journey." Zelda gave him a small smile, placing her hand on his chest, pausing to look up at him.
"It must've been awful having your friends be taken away from you," Zelda said slowly and quietly, also choosing the right words. She didn't want to hurt him. "It takes a lot of courage of what you did, Link. Not many men would've done that, not even my guards for sure!" Link grinned at that. Oh, he knew about her guards. Whenever he went in Castle Town in wolf form, the guards would scream and run off.
"To tell you the truth, I was actually scared," he admitted in a whisper, pressing his forehead against Zelda's. "But I had to be strong. Not for just me, but for my friends. They were the ones in need and I had to help them. I mean, I'm not the one to just leave them be if they're in trouble."
"I know you're not," Zelda whispered, brushing a bang from his face. Link smiled. "You're such a caring person, Link. I know you more than anyone."
"And I you," Link said, bringing Zelda into a kiss. She smiled against his lips and closed her eyes, letting herself get lost in the kiss as she wrapped her arms around Link's neck and kissing him back. Link pulled her closer to him and leaned her against the umbrella that they were using for shade. He ran his tongue over her bottom lip, asking her for entrance of her mouth, and she happily opened her mouth wider. She gripped the collar of his Ordon shirt when she felt his tongue slide in her mouth, a good tingle feeling of their tongues touching inside her stomach. Zelda giggled as Link ran his hand through her hair, leaving cute kisses at her jaw and her neck. Link smiled against her skin and pressed his face into her neck, holding her close to him. It was these times that Zelda enjoyed her time with Link even more. He always made her feel whole and…complete, even if it meant just a little kiss. She loved it how he held her. It was so comforting.
Zelda leaned her head against Link's and closed her eyes. "I love you," she whispered.
"I love you too, Zelda," Link said, his voice muffled by her neck. Zelda let out a little laughed and Link looked up, a grin on his face. Zelda climbed on Link's lap and placed her head on Link's shoulder and her hand on his chest. Link's arms automatically went around her lower back and held her firmly so she wouldn't let go.
"This has been the most fun I have ever had, Link," Zelda sighed happily, her eyes watching the sunset. Link, who was too watching the sunset, looked down at Zelda for a few seconds and then back at the sunset.
"Does it beat than paper work, suitors, and corsets?"
"Oh yes. It does." Link laughed.
"I'm glad," he said, kissing her head.
And so, they watched the sunset together, enjoying each other's company.
Zelda watched from the gate at the ranch as Link fed the goats with his shirt off. She couldn't help but notice how well built his chest was. It was so toned and so…touchable. And his abs…they were truly wonderful. Zelda wished that she had known he was so fit earlier, for she wouldn't of have hesitate to touch his chest through his clothes, though she knew that he'd get extremely hot. And it would of have not been proper at the time, not to mention if her father ever heard about that she would most likely get a scolding. But who cares about being proper? Zelda certainly didn't. As long as Link was with her, then she was happy.
Zelda tilted her head to the side to get a better look of his chest…but only to be caught by Link himself. He was surprised to see her but happy at the most. He looked around to see if Fado was around and when he saw the coast was clear, he jogged his towards the side of the fence that Zelda was standing behind.
"Hey, Zel-" Link stopped suddenly in his greeting to Zelda, realizing that she was in a daydream and was happening to be looking at his chest. A smirk crossed Link's lips as he looked down at his chest and then at Zelda. "Zelda?" Link waved a hand in front of her face, causing her to jerk back. Link laughed and Zelda blushed red as a tomato. Smirking once again, Link spoke. "Like what you see?" All Zelda did was look at him in utter disbelief.
"Excuse me?" she asked in light surprise, putting a hand to her chest. Link leaned against the fence he was standing by.
"My chest," Link answered, motioning towards it. "You Like?"
"Link Avalon!" Zelda exclaimed, her eyes wide. "That is rather a personal question to ask someone." Link raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really?" he asked and Zelda nodded. "And looking at my chest while I do work isn't?"
"Why Link, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were accusing me of checking out your chest."
"Well, Zelda," Link began, mocking her. "If I didn't know better, I'd say I am. Your eye sockets were nearly popped out." Zelda let out an "Hmph" and turned around, beginning to walk away. Link grinned and jumped over the gate, managing to reach her before she could be gone too far. He grabbed a hold of Zelda's arm and turned her around, pulling her to him until she was bumped up against his chest. Zelda blushed and looked up at Link, her eyes sparkling. "I love you." Zelda smiled for no reason and leaned up, pressing her lips against Link's, not that he complained. He simply wrapped his arms around her, his left arm on her lower back and his right arm on her upper back. Zelda snaked an arm around his neck, the hand of her other arm running in Link's hair gently.
Fado, who was just walking out of the barn with more goat food for Link to feed to the goats, looked around for when he didn't see the young lad anywhere. He found him at the gate, locked in a sweet kiss with Zelda. Fado chuckled and shook his head, setting down the bucket of goat food and causally strolling towards the two, which the gate now seemed open; probably because Link unlatched it by accident when he jumped over the gate. Fado closed the gate to the entrance and locked it. Link apparently heard it, for he quickly broke the kiss and whirled around to the gate, looking down at it. Fado laughed slightly and Link looked up, a small smile on his lips.
"Go and have your day with Zelda, Link!" Fado shooed. "Your week break isn't over yet. You still have another six days left or so. Why even come here to help out when you're on your break?" Link shrugged sheepishly. "Off you go then!" Link laughed and took Zelda's hand in his, leading her down the path. Zelda looked behind her as the two walked off and waved at Fado, who waved back. Smiling, Zelda turned her head back around and grasped Link's upper arm.
"Yes, Link," she said, referring to Fado's question. "Why come here when you're on your break." Link chuckled.
"The way we all know Fado, he can't work at the ranch without me," Link replied. "He can't handle the ranch by himself very well and he owns it!" Zelda laughed at that. "I'm the best one in Ordon that can help him out, next to Rusl, of course. We help Fado quite often together when we can, sometimes Colin will help out too." Zelda grasped her other hand on his upper arm.
"Probably because you're so strong…"
Link shivered as Zelda ran her hands up and down his arm. Link smirked and stopped their tracks, pulling her to his bare chest. He pulled her head to his chest and caressed her hair as he rocked them back and forth. He knew she was flirting with him; he could tell by the tone of her voice whenever she did flirt with him, and now it was time to make her feel touched.
He had been wanting to so it for a while now, but the previous times when he had his moments with Zelda he just couldn't do it. For one thing sometimes it was when they were just friends and Link kept reminding himself that who he and Zelda were. Though now that they were courting and engage, Link found many moments to make her feel touch, though they were usually interrupted or if Zelda fell asleep or was needed back at Uli and Rusl's for help.
"Yes, but they are reserved for one person and one person only," he whispered. Zelda looked up at him in, curious to know who this 'person' was. Though she had an idea who it was so she smiled small. "You. I'll always protect you, Zelda. Never you have to fight for yourself because I'll fight and defend for you and your honor. Just knowing your safe and alright is the best thing that you can give me, along with your hand in marriage, of course." Although Zelda laughed quietly she was touch by his small speech and kissed his cheek for it.
"That is rather so sweet of you," she said. Link smiled and held her closer to him. "Link, you don't have to say nice things to me, nor do you have to buy me anything, not even jewelry. They all don't make me happy, and you know that very well...Though...it does make me smile at your sweet words, but I know you love me and that all I need. Just you and your love. You don't have to say this treacle, inquire things about me."
"But I mean every word," Link said. "As long as we've know each other, was I ever known to let you or anybody down?" Zelda laughed and shook her head. Link was the one to willing to do anything for anyone, even if he didn't like or know the person. It was one of the main reasons why Zelda loves him."Exactly. I especially won't let you down now that you're to become my wife. I'd be a bad husband if I did."
"You're so caring, Link," Zelda said, pressing her face to his chest. "It makes me fall in love with you more and more."
"My goal is being completed then." He smiled when she laughed. She had a beautiful laugh. He once tried to write a song about her and her flawless but it didn't turn out too well. But he was thirteen at the time and most thirteen-year-old boys couldn't write songs very well. But Link…ever since he was sixteen, he wrote songs and short stories. Some of them won awards. Perhaps he could write a song for Zelda sometime. He knew what exactly to put, he just had to think of it. "But you know, you're caring too, and that makes me love you even more as well."
"Looks like we have something in common." Zelda pulled away and gave him a sly grin that plastered on her face.
"Oh darling, we have more things in common. More than you can believe. Why do you think that we are to be married? Because its fate and the goddess' believe that our love for each other will last." He saw tears at the corner of Zelda's eyes and wiped them away with his thumb. "Don't cry, Zelda. You know it's true. The triforce of Wisdom and Courage fit together like a…" Link thought for a moment and when he did thought of something, he smile. "A ring." Zelda gasped and Link fingered the engagement ring on her ring finger. Zelda looked down as well, her eyes following her hand as it was picked up and brought to Link's lips, a gentle kiss planted on it. Zelda's lips quivered and she threw herself in Link's arms, tears sliding down her cheeks.
"You always know the right things to stay to me," she cried, her body shaking with sobs. Link held her tightly and just kissed her head, rubbing his hand up and down her back. "I love you so much, Link. I can't wait until we get married."
"Nor can I, Zelda," Link murmured, pressing his cheek on her head. "Our wedding will be just the way you want it to be. I wouldn't have it any other way because I know your taste and I would love how our wedding would be even if you planned it yourself and wanted to surprise me."
Zelda sniffed and pulled away slightly, rubbing her eyes. Link smiled and kissed away the remaining tears. Zelda giggled and kissed him on the lips. She smiled at him and pulled him in a hug, both of them sighing at their love for each other.
"I love you."
"I love you too.
Yes. It was going to be impossible to break those two away.
A/N: Once again, I'm sorry about changing the chapters. I'm looking over chapter two as we speak now and I will upload it as soon as I can.
