Chapter 10

"Ok, here is a list of all that needs to be fixed. If you can't handle it you can wait till we get back." Ingo told Link.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I can handle it." He said as Ingo sat next to Talon on the bench. Link and Malon watched as the wagon rolled out of site.

"So, would you like breakfast?" Malon asked.

"Yeah sure." Lin replied as he looked over the list. Not anything out of the ordinary. Back inside the house Link went to change out of his pajamas and into work cloths. A plate of eggs and toast await him when he gets out. He sits and Malon sits next to him with her own breakfast. They eat in silence for a minute till Malon breaks the silence.

"So, what happened last night, was that for real?" She asks nervously.

"Well, I thought it was real." Link said turning to look at Malon, who gave him a smile.

"Good. It's just been a while since I had a boyfriend. That didn't exactly turn out too great." She said looking away.

"Well if it makes you feel any better, I've never had a girlfriend before. Well I've had girl friends, but no real girlfriend. If that makes sense." Link said, pondering this.

"Well that just means I get to teach you somethings." Malon said with a mischievous smile. "Well, I can't teach you anything if there are chores to be done."

"Yes oh mighty teacher." Link said with sarcasm as he stood up. With a stretch he picked up the list of repairs and collected the tools he will need. It was a short list so it didn't take Link terribly long, but by the time he was done it was about noon. Far longer that he wanted. Never the less he went inside and got lunch.

"I was wondering when you would be in for lunch." Malon said when he stepped inside.

"Sorry about that, I just wanted to finish fixing the fence. But now that that is done, this list is done." Link said as he tossed the list in the waste bin. Malon walked up to him and draped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss.

"Well I'm done with my chores so that wraps up all of the chores that need to be done. So, are you ready to be taught my faithful student?" Malon asked.

"Of coarse. Were do we begin?" Link asked.

"With you in the bath, you stink." Malon said pushing him away playfully. "When you are all washed up I will fix you a good lunch, then your studies will start."

"Yes ma'am." Link said and he grabbed a new shirt and pants from his room and went upstairs. He took a fairly short bath, but he did get everything washed and he was coming down the stairs drying his hair. When he pulled the towel off his head he was greeted by a smiling Malon, who draped her arms back over Link.

"Well, you smell better." Malon said, "Would you like to start your lessons or eat first?" She asked.

"I think I would like to-" Link started but got interrupted by his stomach rumbling. "Well I guess I want to eat." He said looking disappointed making Malon laugh.

"I made you a sandwich. Eat up and meet me outside under the tree." Malon said as she took her arms off Link and went out side. Link quickly scarfed down his sandwich, which was made very hard because Malon had out a lot of stuff on it, and he went outside and under the tree.

It turns out that the first lesson was just laying under the tree with Malon resting her head on Link's shoulder for the past two hours with out sleeping. Every time he dozed Malon nudged him awake saying "You need to be able to be with your girlfriend for hours on end with no sleep." Well whatever Link didn't mind it, though he did catch Malon fall asleep a couple times he didn't care. All he cared about was being next to Malon. He kissed the top of her head, making her look at him.

"What was that for?" She asked in a small voice.

"Just for being incredibly beautiful." Link said, making Malon blush a little and laugh.

"Hey now. Complements are for the next lesson. But I think I could give you a reward for working ahead." Malon said and she gave Link a long passionate kiss. "But don't think that you will get one of those for every complement." Malon said and repositioned herself so the her head was resting on Link's chest and she could hear the soft beat of his heart. With the combination of the summer heat, the light breeze, the feel of Link's rhythmic heart beat, the smell of wild flowers, and the feel of safety Malon was soon sleeping. Link stroked loose strands of hair from her face and soon he was starting fall asleep.

This sleep wasn't long live though and he awoke with Malon looking up at him, her face looked almost pained.

"Whats wrong?" Link asked.

"Nothing." Malon replied burying her face into Link's chest.

"You lying."

"No I'm not.

"Malon, every time you lie your right eyebrow twitches. Whats up?" Link asked. With a sigh Malon brought her face back up and looking into Link's light blue eyes.

"I just don't want to lose you like I lost my mother." Malon said quietly. Link knew from a story that Talon told him when he was younger that Malon lost her mom to a moblin archer. Link kissed the top of Malon's head again and stoked her hair.

"Don't worry, I will never leave your side." He said. A very huge part of Malon believed him, but an extremely small part of her knew that the call of the adventure and danger would come and call for him, just as it did with her mother. Malon unknowingly shed a tear, and Link wiped it away with his thumb. "I promise." He finished and Malon buried her face back into Link's chest.

Please review and stay tuned till next time.
