"Zelda, wait!" Link called as he chased the princess across the lawn back to the mansion. Marth continued to stand rooted to his stop in complete and utter humiliation.
The hero finally caught up to Zelda in front of her room and quickly grabbed her by the wrist.
"Zelda, please, just talk to me." Link pleaded.
Her eyes glistened with fresh tears as she slowly nodded him and let him in the room. The princess walked into the middle of the room and sunk to her knees, blowing her nose in a handkerchief. Link walked over hesitantly and sat across from her. They sat in silence for a couple minutes neither of them sure who should speak first.
Zelda finally broke the silence.
"I knew someday we wouldn't be together anymore," her voice cracked "and I knew something was going on lately I…I just… never thought it would happen like this."
"Believe me, I didn't either…" Link said softly, staring at a spot on the floor. Then, squaring his broad shoulders and staring her straight in the eyes he added, "But I think I might love him."
A single beautiful tear rolled down the princess's fair cheek. Link quickly brushed it away with is thumb and sighed quietly. He then rose to his feet and brought her into a tight embrace. "I never wanted to hurt you." Link whispered in her ear.
"I know." She replied closing her eyes. The feel of his arms around her, his wonderful scent surrounding them, and the smooth sound of his voice were all so familiar and Zelda couldn't imagine living without it for even a minute; but she knew that she could do it, and would have to. Very slowly she pulled away.
"Tomorrow.. if you want," Link started, "we could talk more about what happened. You can ask me anything you would like to know. I promise to answer everything."
"Thanks Link. Marth is really a lucky guy. Now, go get him." Zelda sniffled quietly as her hero headed for the door.
He stopped in the doorway and turned back towards her. "Are we okay Zelda?"
"Yes," she smiled softly, "Actually I… I was hoping we could remain friends."
"Me too!" Link said and grinned as he shut the door behind him. Now to find Marth! He thought excitedly, while behind the dark oak door a gorgeous, heartbroken princess silently wept, releasing her unspoken sorrow.
By this time it had started to get dark outside and Marth decided to head in. He made his way back to the mansion, dragging his feet. On his way up the stairs he ran into Peach, who was holding a large laundry basket and smiling sneakily. "There's someone waiting in your room for you…" she informed him upon passing.
Must be Link! Marth thought and smiled slightly, I wonder what happened with him and Zelda?
The bluenette picked up the pace and swung the door to their shared room open enthusiastically. He immediately went over to the figure staring out the window, in the darkness of his bedroom. When the man heard Marth open the door he spun around quickly and a wide grin spread from ear to ear.
"Hey, stranger." A very familiar voice called.
"R-Roy?"
Eh? ^_^ how do you like my twist? Did you see that one coming? Hahaha next chapter will be up asap. :)
