Zelink couple: Hyrule Warriors
Prompt: spring
~The Blue Rose~
"Hey! Link! Look!"
A wisp of sparkles fluttered past the soldier's head.
"What about these?" Proxi pondered, planting her bottom in a bed of yellow daisies.
Link thought about her offer. "Hm. I don't know… Yellow doesn't seem right."
"Hmpf." She huffed, lazily gliding over to sit on his shoulder. "We've been looking for hours. When will you be done? I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry, and it's been about twenty minutes to be exact," he chuckled, his sapphire gaze still scanning the open field. One of Link's hands busied itself by thoughtfully stroking his chin, the other tenderly grasping a brilliant bundle of baby pink lilies, fuchsia dapples dancing on rims of the petals. It was noon, and while the troops took a short hour to eat during their tactical advances, Link figured there was someone special who could use a much needed treat.
Proxi sighed, grasping the brim of his ear and lay flat on her stomach in dramatic exasperation. Suddenly, something vibrant caught her eye. "Link!" She tugged on his hear.
"Hold on just a few more minutes, I promise."
"No, look!"
Link obliged and was met with something he was sure had to be the result of magic. Hidden in the midst of the daisies stood a lone, cobalt-shaded rose. Never had he lived to see a spring produce something so brilliant, so rare. "This is perfect!"
After plucking the phenomenon from its pedestal, Link jumped as an unexpected presence joined his adventure.
"What is perfect?"
Link whirled around, his heart edging into his throat, bouquet hidden behind his back. Proxi giggled.
Locks filled with sundrops framed a suspecting blue gaze as Princess Zelda stood, waiting for an answer.
"Um… I was just…" Link muttered.
"Why are you all the way out here? Are you not hungry?" Genuine concern flooded her voice. Zelda glanced over her shoulder, referring to the soldiers chowing down in their makeshift camp.
Thankfully, Proxi kept her mouth shut this time, fiddling with Link's earing.
Taking a deep breath, Link revealed his motives, offering the lilies centered around the mystical, blue rose.
"Are… are these for me?" Zelda gasped, hesitantly reaching for them.
At a loss for words, Link smiled, a blush settling in his expression.
"This color rose! I have never seen a thing like it." Before he could respond, the Princess of Hyrule stepped forward, wrapping her arms around him, careful not to crush her new gift. "Thank you, Link."
Not a second too soon, the soldier reciprocated her advance, embracing Zelda's soft form. A beautiful scent, more so than the entire field of flowers, preoccupied his thoughts. "You're welcome, Princess."
