The Legend of Zelda: Rise of Majora

Chapter 7 – My First Kiss

"What the hell happened?" Midna exclaimed when she saw Link leaning on Zelda and clutching his side.

Colin quickly ran over to help Zelda shoulder some of Links weight but he waved him.

"I'm alright, really." He said, letting go of Zelda. She looked at him, eyes flooding with concern. Link couldn't help but blush and wonder what was going on in Zelda's head.

"Are you sure Link? You got hit pretty hard?" Zelda said, putting her hand on his shoulder.

"What happened?" Midna and Colin both yelled. Zelda sighed and recounted what had happened.

Midna gritted her teeth and clenched her hands into fists. "That bastard! Just wait till I get my hands on him!" Midna yelled.

"No Midna, just drop it. He's a loose cannon, who knows what he'll do?"

Colin shook his head, "I never did like that guy. He's a great quarterback, but a complete ass."

Midna grinned and looked at Link, "Well good thing Link was there huh?" She gave him a wink.

Link blushed and scratched the back of his head, "It was nothing."

Zelda shook her head, "No Link, what you did was really brave, and pretty cool. There aren't many people who would stand up against Ganon like that."

She was looking into his eyes. They stood there like that for a few seconds and Link wondered if Zelda ever got the same feeling he did whenever he looked into her eyes. Zelda soon realized that they weren't alone and looked away from Link, blushing heavily.

"I…erm, we should…uhh, go get some ice cream!" Zelda tried to save herself from the awkward moment but she knew she couldn't fool Midna. Fortunately Midna didn't say anything and walked over to Colin's car.

"Colin and I will meet you there…where are we going again?"Midna asked

"Cold Stone." Zelda replied. She turned to Link and smiled, "C'mon Link, you can ride with me."

"A-Alright." He said nervously. Zelda got into the car and watched Link as he walked over to the passenger side and drove off once he buckled his seat belt.

Midna ordered her ice cream last and took a seat next to Link who sat across from Zelda.

"What did you get?" Link asked Midna curiously.

"Mint-chocolate chip…you?" She peered at his ice cream cone.

"I got a Reese's blizzard." Link said excitedly. He took a large bit of his ice cream and his face suddenly contorted.

He winced and shook his head violently, "Gaahhh! Brain Freeeze!" He yelled.

Midna, Colin and Zelda immediately burst out into laughter.

Link smiled sheepishly and wiped a bit of ice cream from his face. "Guess I ate too quickly." He chuckled.

Link got into Zelda's car when they were ready to leave. Zelda got into the driver's side and rolled down her window as Minda walked over to them.

"Colin's gonna drop me off alright Zelda?"

Zelda smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll text ya tomorrow k?" Midna nodded and Zelda looked over at Colin, "Byyyyeee Colin! See you later! Goodnight!" She yelled.

Colin smiled and waved back at her, "Bye Zelda. See you later bro." He said to Link. He waved back at Colin and Midna before Zelda drove back to the high school.

Zelda parked next to Link's car and looked at Link. "Well, I hope you had fun Link. I'm really sorry about what happened." Her were downcast.

Link shook his head, "Don't worry Zelda, I had a lot of fun and I really like the ice cream."

Zelda laughed. She stopped when she saw the look in Links eyes; she saw guilt.

Link sighed, "I just wish I could have done more. I mean, if that cop hadn't shown up Ganon wouldn't beaten the shit out of me and I don't even want to think of what he was going to do to you."

Zelda rested her hand over Links, "Link, you're so sweet…"

Link blushed and began to stutter, "I—uhh—I should…go…" he quickly unbuckled his safety belt and got out of the car.

[Zelda]

She watched as Link got out. She found it cute that he was embarrassed when she had only touched his hand. She knew Link was like the other guys she had meet at school and this further proved that. Zelda watched as Link made his way to his car and frowned at him, he was still holding his side and looked to be in pain.

She rolled her window down and called out to him, "Link you are you going to be ok?"

Link chuckled, "Yeah…I'll be fine Zelda, just need to wrap this up when I get home." He was forcing his words, she could tell, and she would have none of it.

Link suddenly slumped over the side of his car. Zelda cried his name and ran to him.

"I'll…be fine, really." Link spoke through gritted teeth.

"Let me see how bad it is." Zelda replied, ignoring Link. She reached for the lining of his shirt but he lightly pushed it away.

"It's alright Zelda, really." He tried to persuade her.

Zelda sighed and then glared at him, "Link, you just got punched by Ganon and it was pretty hard so don't tell me 'it's fine' because I know it must hurt like hell. Now let me see how bad it is."

Link looked taken back and a little shocked at her forwardness. He sighed and warily lifted up his shirt just enough so she could see his side.

Zelda blushed lightly as her eyes first set on Links toned chest and abs but they quickly grew wide as she say where he was hit. Links lower chest and part of his right side were colored purple and blue. "Link…" she released a breath of air as she spoke.

Link kept his eyes averted as Zelda ran her fingers slowly down his side and lower chest. She felt him shiver against her touch and a light blush spread across her face.

"Zelda…"Link whispered, he grabbed her hand and looked at her.

"Link…" She said his name again. She was breathing faster now and she felt her heart begin to race. They stared into each other's eyes, like they had done so many times before. Only this time Zelda felt something different inside her.

She leaned into him. Her chest was pressed against his and her hand was still resting over his bruise. She could feel Link shake slightly and figured he must be feeling pretty nervous right about now.

She chuckled to herself and hoped that Link would catch on. To her surprise her did. He started to lean into her, their faces were only inches apart and she could feel his breath on her face. His hand was still holding hers and it hadn't moved from his body. His skin was so soft yet hard and toned at the same time. She could feel his muscles tighten as he leaned in further.

He was so close now, she just wanted to grab his head and pull him in when suddenly his phone went off.

[Link]

Link was breathing faster now, he was so close to Zelda's face that he could feel her warm breath. Her hands were a little cold but he didn't mind, he was still trying to wrap his mind around the fact that her hand was touching his stomach.

Was this really happening? Was he really about to kiss Zelda, the girl of his dreams? He saw her lean in slightly and he couldn't help but blush as her breasts pressed against him.

She stopped a few inches from his face. "Am I supposed to go the rest of the way? Does she even want me to kiss her? I can't tell, man this is so confusing!"

Link's mind was traveling a mile a minute but he soon mustered up what courage he had and started to lean in. There were so close now and he could almost feel her lips touch his when suddenly Link's phone went off.

"No no no no, not now! Why is this happening!" He didn't want to answer the phone, he was so close! He tried to ignore it but it just kept ringing and it began to bug him. He looked at Zelda and realized the moment they had was now gone. Gritting his teeth in frustration, Link shoved his hand in his pocket and pulled out his phone.

"Hello?" Link sounded less than pleased at his situation.

"Hello? Link? Is everything alright? You sound kind of annoyed…"

Link sighed. It was just his luck that something like this would happen.

"I'm alright Saria, what's up?"

"Nothing, just wondering where you were. It's getting kinda late and you never called, so I was a little worried." She sounded tired.

Link mentally slapped himself. "Sorry Saria, I forgot to call you. I'll be home soon okay?"

He hung up and looked at Zelda. "I should probably go home now." He chuckled and scratched his head.

Zelda nodded and smiled, "Yeah, I should go too. Did you still want to hang out? I can understand if you just want to be at home all weekend icing that bruise."

Link thought he almost heard a hint of disappointment in her voice and he shook his head, "We can still hang out, I don't mind at all." He smiled.

"Great!" Zelda smiled back at him.

Link chuckled, "I don't really know what we could do though."

Zelda thought for a moment and then nodded, "We could just hang out at my place if you wanted, I've got a really big movie selection." She laughed.

Link tensed for a moment, the thought of going over to Zelda's house had never crossed his mind. "Are you…sure?"

Zelda gave him a confused look, "Yeah, why not?"

Link shook his head. "You're overreacting Link, nothing's gonna happen…but the thought of hanging out with Zelda, in her house watching a movie…"

Link was about to speak when Zelda interrupted him. "Link...if you're worried about my dad, it's alright. He's hardly ever home anyways."

She sounded upset and decided not to press the issue. He nodded and smiled, "Alright then, tomorrow at your house."

She smiled back at him, "Alright, goodnight Link."

"Goodnight Zelda, see you tomorrow." He unlocked his car and got in, wincing in the process. "I should really get this looked at tomorrow." He thought to himself as he drove home.

Link woke up early the next morning and went to the clinic. Fortunately there were no broken ribs but the doctor had ordered an x-ray just incase. Link was told to ice the area frequently and not overstress himself.

"Take this to the imaging department and schedule an appointment." The doctor tore off a slip and handed it to Link.

He nodded and thanked the doctor. Link walked into the kitchen and went to the freezer to get some ice. He put some in a zip-lock bag and wrapped it in a towel. Saria was in the living room watching some show he'd never heard of and he took a seat next to her.

Saria motioned to the bag of ice, "So, what did the doctor say?"

Link shifted his weight to a more comfortable position and put his legs up on the table in front of them.

"They want me to get a x-ray done on Monday. They don't think anything is broke, but I guess they just want to be sure."

Saria nodded, "Yeah that's probably a good idea." She chuckled and shook her head.

Link raised an eyebrow, "What?"

"Oh nothing, so how does it feel to be Zelda's hero?"

Link blushed and Saria started to laugh.

"I'm not her hero ok? I just did what any other friend would have done in my situation."

Saria shrugged, "Maybe, maybe not."

Link rolled his eyes and faced the television. Saria giggled and continued to watch her show.

Link yawned and sat up. He blinked a few times and rubbed his eyes, looking at his phone. It read 6:00 pm. He groaned and stretched.

"Must've fallen asleep." He looked at his notifications and saw that he had two unread messages, both of them were from Zelda. He quickly opened and read them.

"Hey Link, it's Zelda! Just wondering what time you wanted to come over."

"Give me a call when you can."

He closed his phone and sighed. He pulled of the blanket (that wasn't there before) when he realized that someone hand changed his bag of ice.

"Saria." He smiled and folded the blanket, placing it back on the couch.

"Well, I should probably shower before I do anything else."

He took a quick shower and dried himself off. Link changed and grabbed his phone to see that he had gotten another text but this time it was from Saria.

"Hey Link, I changed the bag of ice for you since you feel asleep. You're welcome! Anyways, just wanted to let you know that I went to Mido's. There's pasta on the stove if you're hungry!"

Link chuckled as he typed up a response, "Thanks, I'm going over to Zelda's."

He sent the message and scrolled through his contacts. He stopped at Zelda's name and called her number.

She picked up after the third ring, "Hello?"

"Hey Zelda, it's Link."

"Link! Hey what's up?"

"Not much, just replying to your text. When do you want me to come over?"

"You can come over now if you want, I invited Colin and Midna hopes that's alright."

Link's heart sank but he figured it was probably for the best. It was too soon for them to be hanging out alone.

"Yeah that's cool. What's your address?"

"904 Kingdom Drive. Oh yeah I almost forgot! The code to get in is 1349."

"Cool, see you in a bit." Link hung up and grabbed his jacket before he made his way out the door. His phone buzzed again and he pulled it out and almost fell over when he read the reply from Saria.

"Use protection ;)."

Link sighed. "That's just wrong." He thought to himself as he climbed into this car. He made his way to her address and his jaw nearly feel out, all the houses in the 900 block were the biggest he'd ever seen."

"I guess I shouldn't be surprised since her dad is the mayor."

Link pulled up the large gate and rolled down his window. The gate attendant looked at Link oddly and raised an eyebrow.

"Can I help you?"

Link nodded, "I'm here to see Zelda Harkinian."

The man looked at Link and then burst out laughing. He stopped once he saw the serious look on Links face.

He coughed, "I'll need the passcode." He said, not expecting Link to know it.

"1349." Link replied.

The man looked at Link in astonishment and unlocked the gates. Link thanked the man and followed the road to Zelda's house.

"Wow, is this where she lives?" Link said to himself as he pulled up into the 'u' shaped driveway. He parked his car and made his way to the front door, admiring the large house in front of him. Large steps led up to a large finely crafted wooden door. He wasn't entirely sure, but he figured the steps were made of marble by the way it shined. He saw Zelda's car parked in the driveway; a 2011 CLS Mercedes, along with the Ferrari Spider he saw Impa drive. He furrowed his eyebrows as he didn't see Midna's or Colin's car.

"Huh, must've come early."

Link rang the doorbell and waited patiently. A few minutes later he saw Impa coming up the door.

"Hello Link, it's good to see you." She smiled and motioned for him to come inside.

"Thanks, wow this house looks amazing!" Link marveled at the interior structure. He'd never seen a house with such large stairs, and various paintings and expensive ornaments on wooden tables. He realized the house was much larger than it looked from the outside.

Impa smiled, "Yes, it is quite an amazing house."

He smiled back and was about to ask where Zelda was when he heard her call his name. He looked up at the stairs to see Zelda making her way down.

"Link! I'm glad you came, and I see you found your way pretty easily."

Link couldn't help but stare at her; she was wearing a short pink skirt and a white half button down top with short, frilly sleeves.

Impa smirked as Zelda walked over to Link and gave him a hug. She quickly let go and looked at him with concern.

"Oh I'm sorry Link! You're still probably in a lot of pain!"

Link chuckled, "it's alright Zelda, I've been icing it all day."

"Oh, well that's good." She smiled back at him.

The two were completely unaware of Impa staring at them with her arms folded.

"I see you two are getting along pretty well. I'm not sure if I should leave the two of you alone." She chuckled.

Both Link and Zelda blushed when they realized that Impa was standing beside them the whole time.

"Impa! Just go!" Zelda yelled, embarrassed by Impa's teasing."

Impa shok her head and looked at Link, "I'll come down and check up on you two alright?"

Link blushed and nodded. Zelda rolled her eyes and grabbed Link's hand, leading him around the corner and headed downstairs.

"You're house is amazing Zelda! Is there anything you don't have?" Link said they walked into a large room. There was a projector attached to the ceiling with a large glass four-shelf cabinet. It had various electronics equipment in it, which Link took to be the sound system. There were two large dark leather couches connected together at a 'v' with stereo equipment surrounding the area, the only thing that was missing was the TV.

Link looked around in confusion, "Hey Zelda?"

"Hmm?" She replied as she walked over the glass cabinet.

"Where's your TV?"

Zelda grinned, "It's right here Link." She clicked a button and Link's jaw fell open as a large projector screen came down.

"Wow…" Link was amazed at how technologically advanced Zelda was, he felt like he was in the movie theaters!

Zelda laughed, "Yeah, my dad's crazy when it comes to cars and home theaters."

"Yeah, no kidding." Link said, flabbergasted. Zelda walked over to another large cabinet and opened it up to reveal a wide assortment of movies. She pulled one out and placed it into the Blue-Ray player.

"So when are MIdna and Colin coming over?" Link asked, wondering where they could be.

Zelda turned down the lights, "Midna said she was going to be late and told me to watch one with out her, and I'm not sure what Colin is doing. He hasn't texted me back yet."

She was about to sit down but stopped and looked at Link, "Hey, you want some popcorn?"

"Uhh…yeah sure I guess." Link said standing up to help her.a

"Huh, looks interesting." He thought to himself as he set the case back on the coffee table. A few minutes later Zelda returned with a large tub of buttered popcorn.

"Wow, got enough popcorn?" Link joked.

"What? I like popcorn!" Zelda defended herself.

Link chuckled and grabbed a fist full of popcorn. "So what's this movie about anyways?"

"It's only the greatest romantic comedies of all time! It's got Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles!"

Link looked at Zelda with a blank face, "That doesn't really tell much about the plot…"

"Shhhh, it's starting!" Zelda said grabbing some popcorn.

Link soon realized that this was one of those 'chick flicks' he heard so many people talk about in school and he almost regretting having to watch it. He had to admit though, that the plot was actually pretty good. The movie was getting good and the drama was kicking into high gear. Unfortunately (or fortunately) Link reached for some popcorn the same exact time that Zelda did.

Link blushed as his hand touched Zelda's.

"S-Sorry Zelda." Link stuttered.

Zelda smiled, "It's alright."

Link could feel his pulse rise as he their eyes met. He took his chance and shifted closer to her, praying that his phone wouldn't go off. Zelda leaned in and Link completely tuned out the movie. His breath quicken as he found himself yet again in an unbelievable situation. They were close now and Link could feel her warm breath on his face. He shut his eyes and waited for his phone to go off or for something else to interrupt them.

It never came.

His lips were on hers and he suddenly felt as if his entire body was on fire. The feeling was incredible, her lips were so soft. She turned her body to his and deepened the kiss. Link blushed and did his best to match her desire, but he had never kissed a girl before. It was unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

[Zelda]

She waited for him to make the first move. She was afraid he wouldn't catch on, but the way he was looking at her told her otherwise. He shifted his weight and leaned in. Her heart began to race as she move in closer to him and soon his lips were on hers.

It was slow at first, they were both inexperienced, but it soon grew deeper. Electricity shot through her and she turned her body to face his. His hand was by her side but it moved to her lower back, but Zelda didn't mind. In fact, she soon found her own hand grabbing his neck and pulling him closer. Zelda had never felt anything like this before. She barely knew him, but he affected her in ways no other guy had.

Link's hand trailed up her back and she breathed against him. They slowly broke off the kiss but their foreheads remained together. They were both breathing heavily, neither one saying anything; completely lost in the moment.

"Whoa…" Someone spoke at the entrance of the room.

Link and Zelda jumped apart and turned to see Midna punch Colin in the shoulder, hard.

"Ouch! What the hell was that for?" Colin yelled, rubbing his shoulder.

"You dumbass, why'd you have to go and ruin their moment? Ugh, I swear boy's are so stupid sometimes!"

Link and Zelda were blushing profusely.

Zelda stood up and straightened her clothes. "I have to…uhh…go to the bathroom. One second." She waked out of the room looking flustered and completely red in the face.

"I'll come with you." Midna said, following her.

[Link]

Colin chuckled nervously. He never really thought Link and Zelda would end liking each other. Of course, what guy wouldn't like Zelda? What really surprised him was the fact that Zelda was kissing Link back.

"Sorry about that man." He said sitting on the couch next to Link.

Link shook his head, "It's alright man, how've you been?"

Colin stretched and sat back into the couch, "I've been good man, I just got don't helping my dad paint the basement. We're doing some remodeling."

"Nice man, if you need an extra hand I'd be happy to help. I know a little bit about construction."

Colin raised his eyebrows, "Really man? Hell yeah, that'd be awesome!"

Link smiled and then there were silent. Colin coughed, not wanting to mention the 'elephant' in the room, but he couldn't help it.

"Sooo…what's goin' on with you and Zelda bro?"

Link sighed, he knew it was coming. "I don't man, I mean we only started to hang out like just over a week. It feels weird but…I feel like I'm so close to her, you know what I mean?"

Colin shook his head and smirked, "Actually man, I don't."

Link looked at him, surprised. "Really?"

Colin nodded.

Link sighed, "Well anyways, I don't really know what to do now. Like, am I supposed to ask her out on a date or something?"

Colin thought for a moment. "It probably wouldn't hurt," he snorted, "I mean after what I just saw…" he coughed. "You wanna know my advice?"

"Please." Link said hopeful that Colin could help him.

"Just take it one day at a time, don't rush anything man. More importantly, go at the pace that she feels comfortable at. Don't get me wrong though, if Zelda throws herself at you and you're not ready then don't dive in. But Zelda isn't that type of girl so I don't think you'll have to worry about that."

Link was silent, taking in everything that Colin had said. It was pretty good advice in his opinion. Either way it was about time he asked Zelda out on a real date. The only problem was, he had no idea how to do that.

"Oh by the way, you can still try out for the boys' soccer team if you're interested. I remember you telling me you liked soccer."

Link nodded, "Yeah I did…" He looked up at Colin, "Thanks for letting know, I'll certainly think about it."

Colin smiled, "Good."

Midna returned with Zelda a few minutes later. Zelda sat next to Link with Midna opposite to him. They watched two more movies and eventually everyone got too tired to keep watching more. Midna and Colin soon left, leaving Link along with Zelda yet again.

Link scratched his head nervously, "Soo…I had a lot fun tonight!" Link said, trying not to sound too awkward.

Zelda chuckled and stifled a yawn, "So did I Link, we should do it again sometime."

Link smiled and stood up, "Well, I should probably get going. I don't want Impa to get mad at us."

Zelda smirked, "Yeah, or my dad."

Link looked almost mortified, he hadn't even thought about Zelda's dad. The look on Links face made Zelda laugh, and Link blushed.

Zelda walked Link out of the house and opened the front door for him. "Thanks for coming over Link; I really had a good time."

Link blushed and kicked his shoes on the ground, "I'm glad I came." He turned to leave but stopped and turned around just as Zelda was about to close the door.

"Hey, Zelda?"

"Hmm, yeah Link? What's up?"

Link coughed and scratched the back of his head nervously, "I was wondering if maybe…?" He quickly blurted out.

Zelda looked at him confused, "Umm, I'm sorry. I didn't catch that…"

Link took a few deep breaths and started again slowly, "I was wondering if you might be free for dinner sometime next week."

Link tensed up, he hoped this was the right way to ask her out on a date. He suddenly froze, what would he do if she rejected the idea? His palms suddenly grew sweaty and he wiped them on the back of his jeans.

Zelda smiled at him, "I would love to go to dinner with you Link."

Link smiled brightly, "G-Great! Yeah, sounds good." Link said excitedly.

Zelda giggled and walked over to him. She gave him a hug and he hugged her back. Just before he left, he found himself giving her a kiss on the cheek.


(A.N.) Well, there you have it! I know the popcorn scene was kinda cheesy and it's probably been done a ton over, but I figured it was bound to happen sooner than later with then and that was the best time that I felt to have them kiss.

Next update probably won't be until the end of next weekend or the beginning of the following week.

Stay tuned!
