"Well c'mon get ready we're going around Castle Town today" Zelda said as Link yawned. "Ok. Ok. Let me get my clothes on" Link said as he put on his shirt and tunic. He was already wearing his pants and boots. After Link was dressed he and Zelda went to met Impa in the hallway. When they saw Impa they both smiled and said good morning.
"Are you two ready for today's adventure?" she asked, as they were walking out of the Castle and down to Castle Town. They went through the two big doors that led to Central Square. Just as always, it was crowded with customers and travelers from all over Hyrule. Impa showed Link and Zelda around town. They went inside a tailor.
As they entered, Impa told Zelda to wait while Link got his measurements taken for his new clothes. Zelda wanted to see if he was muscular or not. When she was in Link's room she didn't bother to look at Link's body. Even though she didn't get the chance to see, she knew that tonight she might get the chance to with a humid and warm place like the spring.
Link came out of the back room fully dressed in his Hero clothes. The tailor followed him and Impa to the front desk. "Ok, I should have the clothes ready in a few days. Come back in maybe, three to five days" the Tailor said. Link, Impa, and Zelda then went back outside walking through the streets of Castle Town. Link stopped he looked behind him to see if Zelda was following but she was gone.
Link became worried and started scanning the street when suddenly he spotted Zelda near a stand. As Link walked up he noticed Zelda looking at jeweled necklaces and earrings. Link looked at Zelda "See anything you like Zelda?" he asked her. She looked at him with puppy dog eyes "Oh Link, I wish I could have all of it, but I don't know what I would like" she whined.
Impa walked over. "Come on you two we have things we still need to get", Impa said. As they started walking down the market again Link looked over to Zelda. "So what exactly are we here to get Zelda?" Link asked curiously. "I need some blankets and things for tonight. I told Impa and she said it was fine as long as I had all the things I needed" she said with a smile. She couldn't wait for the sun to set, so she and Link could be off to Ordon Village.
After a days worth of shopping, the sun started to slowly set. As Link and Zelda got back to the Castle they started packing their cloths, a few blankets, food, and water. When Link was finished packing his saddle bag he grabbed it and carried it down to the stables, where Epona was waiting for the adventure.
Link strapped the saddle bag on to Epona. When he noticed the sky turning bright orange he became worried that Zelda was still trying to pack all of her things. As Link walked down the hallway he arrived at Zelda's door and knocked. Zelda opened the door "come on in, Link. Here, help me pick out what to wear".
She asked Link looked at all of her cloths then at Zelda "just pack an old dress or something for the spring. We'll be getting wet, so just an old dress and what you're wearing is fine" Link said smiling. Zelda picked out an old dress that seemed like a skirt, she folded it up and placed it in a small leather bag. "So do you have everything you need?" Link asked as Zelda had a big smile on her face "Yep, lets go I can't wait to see the spring" Zelda said.
They walked down the hallway, Zelda was excited to leave Link chuckled as Zelda danced her way over to the stables. When Link and Zelda got there they saw Impa standing next to Epona, holding the reins "Well, you two have a safe trip there, you two promised to be back tomorrow right?" Impa asked being serious.
Link looked at Impa "Of course, we should be back around noon so don't worry" Link said. As he wrapped the leather bag onto his saddle. Zelda was standing next to Epona as Link came over to her. He helped her mount Epona and then got on himself, sitting behind Zelda with the reins in his hands. "You to be careful you hear me? I'll be waiting her at noon tomorrow ok?" Impa said Link looked at her "Alright see you later Impa, we be alright" Link said tugging on the reins.
Epona galloped out of the Castle grounds and onto Hyrule Fields, the sun was almost down. Link figured he probably had another hour maybe half as he and Zelda rode across the Fields; the cool wind blew in their faces and through their hair. As they got close to Faron Forest Link began to slow Epona down to a steady pace. When they entered the forest Zelda was looking around for the spring, but couldn't find it.
"Where is the spring Link? I don't see it anywhere" Zelda asked excitedly Link leaned next to Zelda's ear whispering "We're almost there, don't worry, it's right next to my house" Link said. As they crossed the bridge they passed the spring. Zelda's eyes widened at the sight of it. "Oh, is that it? Wow I cannot wait for the sun to go down" Zelda said as she and Link got to Link's house.
Link pulled on the reins and Epona stopped. Zelda looked at Link's house "Oh, so this is your house? It's cute" she said as Link dismounted. Link looked at Zelda "You like it because we're going to be spending the night here" Link said chuckling. Zelda was excited as Link helped her dismount when. Zelda was on her feet Link got the saddlebag and headed up into the house.
After letting Zelda go first, they went inside. Zelda was amazed at the type of life style Link had when they were separated. As Link set the saddlebag on the table Zelda looked, around looking at Link's things and pictures. When she went around the room Zelda saw Link's bed nicely made from when he had left for Hyrule from just two days.
She was pleased with the atmosphere that was Link's home. Link walked up to Zelda "So what did you want to do since we have like all night", he asked laughing. "What's for dinner anything special?" Zelda asked. Link opened up his saddlebag and pulled out all the food Impa had packed. "Well we have some bread and turkey", Link said as he held the sack of meat and bread out Zelda giggled.
A few moments later they began eating the meat and bread. Link made some fresh apple juice. When they finished, Link didn't know what to do. He didn't want to go into the village, and definitely not into Faron Woods. It was finally dark outside, which made Zelda excited to go to the spring.
Link went through the saddlebag and pulled out Zelda's old dress "Ok, Zelda, I guess we can get ready" he said playfully. Zelda grabbed her dress and went into the other room, while Link decided to wear his Ordon clothes. As soon as Zelda was changed Link went into his room to change. When he was in his Ordon clothes he walked up to Zelda.
"Ok then so are you ready to go?" Link asked Zelda. Her dress seemed a little small, but it looked fine on her. Zelda looked at Link and noticed his pant legs went up above his calves. His tank top showed his arm muscles, except for his left arm because Link was wearing a sleeve rein strapped around him. Zelda reached for the rein "Here, you don't need this, Link" getting the rein loose, she took the sleeve off of Link's shoulder and tossed it next to her.
"There, you look better we can go to the spring now" Zelda said, pleading as if it wasn't going to happen. Link chuckled, "Ok, ok, let's go then," he said with a smile on his face. Zelda squealed as she and Link made their way out of the house and down to the pathway to the spring. It was warm and humid; a nice night to go swimming in the spring. They made their way through the small forest path and arrived at the spring.
As they walked on to the sand Zelda's eyes widened, the spring was just as Link had said, but much better. The moonlight lit up the spring and the fireflies were buzzing around one by one, each lit up a yellowish light from their bodies. As Link took a few steps in, Zelda took a few steps to feel how the water was.
It was comfortably warm, like bathtub temperature, she stood next to Link "Well, let's sit and enjoy the night" Link said as he sat in the water, getting his pants all wet. Zelda sat on the sand, only getting her feet wet; as they sat there Zelda looked around the spring; While Link was looking up at the stars, illuminating the sky. His eyes were bright from all the light around him.
Zelda then stared at Link, looking at his boyish face and his perfect smile. He looked over at Zelda, noticing she was watching him closely. "What are you thinking about?" he asked. Zelda looked down at the water "I was just thinking of Midna," she said. Link looked at her "Yeah, I've been thinking of her too" Link said as he stared at Zelda. "Hey, Zelda, look! for shooting star, make a wish" Link said cheerfully.
He closed his eyes. He seemed peaceful as Zelda looked at Link again, admiring him. "So Link what did you wish for?" Zelda asked. Him he opened his eyes and looked at her happily "If I tell you it won't come true, silly" he said, laughing softly. Link scooped up some water and splashed it on his forehead, cooling himself off. Zelda smiled while playing with her pony tail. Link look at her "What are you smiling about?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing in particular, just some silly things that happened when we were apart," Zelda said still fiddling with her hair. Link faced Zelda "Really? Tell me what happened, I want to know" Link said pleading. Zelda giggled "Alright, there were some suitors who tried to impress me so that I would take their hand in marriage, but I turned them all down," she said with a smile.
Link look at her surprised. "Wow, all of them? you didn't like even one?" Link asked. Zelda shook her head. "Nope. They were all old anyway, who wants to marry an old fart?" Zelda said as Link laughed. "Old farts, that funny." Link chuckled as he sat in the water, his arms supporting him.
He was surprised when he felt a head rest on his shoulder. He looked down to see Zelda sitting closer to him, her eyes closed, leaning on him. He felt a little disoriented as the sweet scent, that reminded him of wildflowers, that could only be described as "Zelda" enthralled his senses.
"You miss her, don't you?" Zelda said quietly. The question caught Link off guard, and all he could say was a not-so-smart sounding, "Huh?" "Midna…."Zelda said "Well, yeah" Link said after a moment, thinking carefully of his answer. Of course he was upset that Midna broke the mirror on purpose so that Hyrule could be safer.
"If you had one wish, what would it be? Would it before her to return?" Zelda's voice was somewhat strained, fearful almost. Link thought for a while, but decided to answer anyway "No," his response was quiet but strong, with an unquestionable conviction. "While that would be a possibility, it's not my wish." He said "Oh?" Zelda replied, sounding slightly surprised.
Link turned his head to face her and he held her gaze, losing himself in the depths of those blue-violet eyes for a moment. Hesitantly, he brought a hand up and brushed a few strands of hair out of her eyes. "My wish would be for you to be happy" Link said softly Zelda's eyes widened substantially, but she held his gaze.
So many emotions flitted across those intoxicating dark pools, that Link couldn't identify them, but he couldn't seem to hold himself back any longer. Gently, his hand took her chin and tilted her head up a little more. He hesitated for only a moment before closing the distance between them with a gentle kiss. Her lips were soft and warm, she seemed to shocked to respond.
He pulled away and saw that her eyes were, indeed, wide and surprised was evident on her face. Link's brows creased and he frowned slightly as his hand fell away from her face. He'd made a mistake! A big mistake! That was all he could think! I should leave..!He was about to get up and go when Zelda grabbed his arm to catch his attention and locked her lips to his once more.
The kiss was just as tender as the last, but this time Link could feel the emotions from her. She wanted this… A shiver went down his spine as she pulled away to hold his gaze once more. After a moment, he leaned in again, catching her lips with his in a deeper, more passionate kiss. Her arms wrapped around his neck as he brought his hands to her sides.
Zelda found herself on her back in wet soil, her lips still claimed by Link a moment later. Tentatively, Link ran his tongue over her lower lip, seeking entrance. Her lips parted not a second later to let him explore, as in turn she did too. The kiss spoke volumes for the two.
Despite the intimacy of the kiss, it remained calm, and it took a shitload of Link's self control to keep it that way with Zelda under him like that. One of his hands was planted by her head propping him while the other ran along her side as her own hands traced down along his lightly clothed chest leaving sparks of pleasure in her finger's wake.
Finally, the two broke for air, but then Zelda kissed Link as she pushed him onto the ground switching positions. Link was now in the mud; the back of his tank top covered in mud; so were his shoulders and arms. As Zelda kissed Link she traced his shoulders and arms feeling all of his muscles as his arms were out beside him in the mud.
Zelda felt overpowered, like she wanted to go further but she didn't want to ruin the moment. This was perfect enough for one night. Her heart was pounding, as though it was about to give out. Link couldn't believe how he and Zelda got into this moment. It was just by one little kiss, a mistake that turned into a lust fest, but maybe, maybe it wasn't. Link's heart pound with warmth, he knew this wasn't coming from the moment, it was coming from Zelda.
He now had feelings for her, he now knew the truth, he loved Zelda. Zelda sat on her knees catching her breath. Link was huffing and puffing, but had a smile on his face "you still want to do this?" he asked Zelda. She looked down at him "Yep, I sure do, Hero" she said laying her chest on his, kissing him. She gripped Link's hair brushing her hands through it, his eyes were droopy, but he was wide awake.
They switched positions once again, Link being on top claiming her lips for some reason he couldn't stop. Lightly cupping Zelda's face, his hand smearing mud on her cheek. Zelda smeared mud on Link's cheeks and neck. She traced Links shoulders and arms once more, smoothing the clumps of mud on his arms while they kissed.
Suddenly, a voice from outside the spring startled Zelda and Link. Ilia stomped her way in, angry "Link, what is going on here and who is she?" Ilia demanded angrily. Link got up but then slipped and landed on his stomach in the mud. The front side of his body now completely covered in mud "Ilia, look this isn't what you think" he said getting up out of the mud. He stood on his feet taking a few steps.
Ilia was angry to see the one she loved making out with another woman. "Link I thought you loved me, I thought when I was in danger you came to rescue me because you loved me" she said tears started forming in her eyes. Link looked at her apologetically "I'm sorry, Ilia, things just changed, I'm in love with her" he turned to look at Zelda then back at Ilia "Look, I'm sorry but I don't love you and I hope you can for…" Link got disrupted by Ilia's crying "DON'T EVER SEE ME AGAIN!" she yelled through her tears and ran off toward Ordon Village.
Link stood there. As he sighed, Zelda got up and wrapped her arms around Link's body resting her head on his shoulder. "Link, is everything ok, who was that?" Zelda asked with a concerned tone in her voice. Link slowly turned around to face Zelda, he looked at her "I…I never told anyone that I went to Hyrule or anything," he said, stuttering. Zelda grabbed Link's muddy hand while looking at him "Hey it's ok, you already told her everything" she said.
As Zelda moved Link's dirty hair away from his face she smiled, a little unsure it would upset Link. "Link I love you though, you know that right…?"Zelda asked Link as he stood there, Zelda lightly pulled Link toward the water. As they walked through they went into the deep end, but not to where they had to swim.
Zelda started washing off the mud from Link's arms; the water getting murky from all the mud. They both stood in the water with their cloths on, Zelda felt worried about Link he just stood there looking down at the water no expressions just a straight face. Zelda took a few steps toward Link and wrapped her arms around him "Link, please don't be upset, this is pointless I love you, please just let it go it's over" she said as she cupped Link's cheek with her hand.
Link looked up at Zelda with droopy eyes, "I'll meet you back at the house" Link said softly walking towards shore, but Zelda ran over to Link. Link turned around as Zelda grabbed him kissing him, for what she hoped, wouldn't be the last time. She pulled him, as she had her arms around him heading back into the water.
Zelda lost her balance, falling backwards into the water, while still holding onto Link. As they were in the shallow water Zelda tried all she could to prove to Link that she loved him. Link slowly moved his hands down Zelda's waist as she felt Link's muscular chest and arms for the last time for the night.
When they broke for air Link laid next to Zelda in the shallow water their hands now entwine. Link wasn't fully happy, but he put a little smile on his face for Zelda. She knew he was still upset, thirty minutes later they both got up out of the water and walked to shore. "Well are you ready to go inside? it's late" Link said looking at Zelda.
She knotted her head as they both walked down the path towards Link's house. "Link, I would actually like to see the village if it's ok with you, and if Ilia tells everyone that we are both together, then it's her problem and not ours" Zelda said. Link looked irritated "I'll go talk to her in the morning about it, I'll explain to her exactly what happened" he said angrily.
Zelda grabbed Link's wrist worried "Hey, hey, calm down. It's ok if she does tell, we'll just go with it ok, besides, Link, I love you" Zelda said. Link looked at her and gave her a kiss on the lips, when they entered Link's house they noticed blankets and cloths were all over the ground. Someone ransacked the house. Link took a few steps and looked at the letter that was on the table, it was ripped in half and crumpled.
Zelda went over to the saddlebag and noticed it was opened "my dress it's…gone" Zelda said astonished. Link got frustrated even more upset, "that's it I'm stopping this nonsense at once, I didn't want things to get out of control" Link said as he stomped toward the door. Zelda grabbed Link's shoulders, trying to stop him before he could get out the door.
"Wait lets solve this in the morning, we both can talk to her" Zelda said trying to calm Link down hoping he will agree. Link sighed and turned toward Zelda looking at the floor, "Alright, fine, I just…wanted this night to be enjoyable for you, a new place, new sights, and it all just got ruined" he said disappointed that Ilia had to show up out of nowhere and getting upset like that.
Zelda hugged him, "Link, I enjoyed this all of it, it was amazing, I couldn't have been in any other place like this" she said pulling herself away to look at him. "But I couldn't enjoy any of this without you" Zelda said and raised Link's chin so she could look in his eyes. "Link, I love you and if you really meant what you said to that girl, that you love me also then she should know the truth" Zelda said letting her lips touch his until Link kissed her passionately.
A tear came rolling down Link's cheek, he was breathing heavily, as they were still kissing Zelda opened her eyes to look at Link. He was crying; the poor boy he was probably trying impress me by taking me to a nice place and letting me see new sights. He never wanted things to go wrong just from ruining a moment but I loved it Zelda thought.
As they broke for air Link gasped, sobbing now Zelda cupped his cheek as he tried to calm himself down. Zelda hushed him quietly as she hugged him, helping Link calm down. Zelda walked Link over to his bed, she looked at their clothes to make sure they weren't still dirty or wet. Link sat on his bed as Zelda checked her dress to see if it was dry, which it was.
Zelda laid Link down on his bed as he gasped for air, exhausted, Zelda laid next to him wrapping her arms around Link to comfort him. He breathed heavily until he fell asleep into a deep sleep; Zelda rested her head near Link's and, suddenly, she fell unconscious.
