(A/N I have been trying to update sooner because my birthday party is in less than a week! Happy early birthday to me! JK my b-day isn't for another 8 days. Also, I think I lost some readers when I stopped updating for like, two months or so on my other story. Read if you want, unlike most authors, I won't push. And I have mentioned very many times that I hate it, but AkatsukiPrincess Samitra Tori says I did a good job.
One more thing. I would like to sincerely thank MidnightTwi for being a faithful reviewer. She has reviewed every chapter of this story! I know this story only has 3 chapters (not counting this one) but my other story only got about 4 or 5 story-related reviews! And it has 11 or 12 chapters! The other two or three were random stuff APST typed up. I am blabbing too much, I'll put more in the ending author's note.
Again, shout-outs go solely to MidnightTwi for reviewing chapter 3. On with the story!)
Disclaimer: If I owned LoZ, the world would be a scary place. 0-o (^.P) Hence the "if."
As I sprinted through Kakariko Village, I found myself thinking. My thoughts somehow always lead back to Link. I'm so hungry. I could really go for an apple right about now. Maybe a green apple. Link likes green apples. – GAAH! Stop thinking about him! Maybe I should use a Deku nut to get there faster… but I don't want to repeat that lava accident. I wonder if Link's ever fallen in lava… Oh dear Nayru, there I go again! I seriously needed to get the blond Hero out of my head.
Then again, that wouldn't be easy, seeing as how I would probably be seeing him soon. About halfway through Hyrule Field, I remembered I knew teleportation songs.
Upon realizing that fact, I slapped myself. Both mentally and physically. I took out my lyre and began to play the Serenade of Water. The notes slowly grew higher and higher, until the small burst of magic warped me to Lake Hylia.
...0.0.0
My feet gently touched the warp pad, and I took a moment to straighten myself out. I hated using warp songs; they always made me feel dizzy after I landed. After regaining composure, I took a quick look around me, but to my misfortune, found no one in sight. I turned to head to the entrance of Lake Hylia, wondering if Link might be waiting for me near the fence, and as soon as I got to the edge of the small island in the center of the great lake, I realized this was the exact same spot I'd been sitting in a couple days ago, waiting for Link to come out of the Water Temple. To rekindle old memories, I made myself sit down for a little bit, right in that exact same spot. Just as soon as I felt completely at ease, a voice came from behind me, literally scaring the –
"SHEIK!" What in all of Hyrule-! My inner thought was shattered as I was pushed and fell into the water. If Link did this, I swear, I'll—
"Gotta keep your guard up if you want to avoid getting wet!" My eye irritatingly twitched as I realized the voice belonged to Link. Yes, I could even pick out a voice from underwater. (A/N I felt the need to scare Sheik a bit, because A BIRD JUST FLEW RIGHT INTO MY FREAKIN' WINDOW! AND IT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME! I typically write about what I feel. Same with my drawings. No, I don't have a Deviant Art account, sorry. Okay, regaining MY composure…) My head broke the surface, and I gasped a little.
"Don't tell me the last of the Sheikah can't go getting her hair wet? Want me to braid it back for you?" Okay, now I was MAD. How dare he tease me! I leapt out of the water, and with one graceful kick, sent him spiraling into the tree. Right where my head was hit, too. Oh, the irony, I thought to myself. He quickly got back up, and was flying towards me. All too easy… Once he was about 2 yards away from me, I simply ducked and rolled to my left, letting him fall into the water this time.
"Oh, darn it, Sheik! I hate getting wet!"
"Now, we can't have the Hero of Time get wet, can we? Suck it up. How in the name of Din did you make it through the water temple?"
"Well, the Zora tunic repels water…"
"Really? That's pathetic. You're down there whimpering like a little girl, all while the world needs saving! Get up." I offered my hand to him, after giving him a sarcastic smile. I was pleased with myself. Everyone needs one of those military-type talks every now and then. I could tell Link had never gotten one before. He took my hand, and I helped him out of the water. I giggled a little watching him ty to wring out his hat, forgetting Navi was still inside. I heard a small squeak of displeasure, and soon after the little ball of light came flying out, and gave Link a smack to the head.
"Ow, Navi! That hurt!"
"I need to write this down. The legendary Hero of Time getting the pulp beaten out of him by a fairy."
"It's not my fault Navi's strong!" Giving him an 'Oh, really?' look, I grabbed one of Navi's wings and watched as she helplessly tried to wriggle out of my grasp.
"Oh, wow. You're right. I'm getting a real workout from this." I said using the most sarcastic tone of voice I had. Then let Navi go, and she immediately flew behind Link. He repositioned his hat, and Navi then squeezed under it.
"…Sheik?"
"Yes, Link?"
"Do you hate me?" That question shocked me a bit.
"No, even though time to time you can act like a total blockhead, no. I don't hate you." He snickered a bit, and then proceeded to say, "Can I ask you a favor?"
"Sure. Anything." I replied. Upon seeing that smirk growing on his face, I regretted saying 'anything.'
"Good. Close your eyes." I was a little nervous, but did as I was told. I heard his footsteps grow closer, and tensed up.
"Relax, too much stress isn't healthy." I supposed he was right, so I did my best to relax a bit. My heart was still pounding in fear of what he was going to do. Then, suddenly, I heard nothing. I was sure I hadn't passed out again; the feeling of consciousness was still there.
Then a breeze blew across my face, hitting my mouth and nose. Wait, I shouldn't be able to feel that, my cowl covers my face! I then began to panic a bit; no one was supposed to see my face except my teacher, family and betrothed. Shortly after I heard his voice, again it told me to relax. I tried my hardest, but I was still nervous from the whole 'no cowl' thing.
Then a pair of lips pressed softly against mine. My eyes flew open in surprise, meeting the cerulean pools less than 3 inches away from mine. His eyelids drifted shut, and mine followed suit. Then, my instinct over anything took over, and my arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer. One of his arms slid around my waist, the other ripping the cover over my hair off. Said hand then caressed the back of my head, entwining itself in my hair. The sun set over the edge of the lake, silhouetting our bodies, firmly pressed against one another. We parted for air, then I said one final thing as I smiled.
"You blockhead." He returned my smile and continued to kiss me, but more passionately this time. Needless to say, I was glad I was chosen to watch over Link. It made me the happiest girl in the world.
(A/N Well? How was it? Leave a review or two if you want me to continue with this story. Otherwise, this is goodbye, and see you next story!)
(P.S. I will probably end up adding a bonus chapter to this, but let me know if you want that to turn into a real chapter.)
