Stella: Oh wow...it's been so long since I've updated this! I'm so sorry everyone! :( I've only been in school for two weeks and I'm pooped. I actually just typed this chapter up so I apologize in advance if there's mistakes. Geez, I feel like it's been so long. But hey, this is the the first story I've updated since school started! So I hope you all enjoy!~

Warning: Lots of fluff.

Three weeks have passed since that "incident" and since then, you weren't exactly sure how to handle things. Saria, Malon and Zelda made it obvious that they were mad at you so you avoided telling them about Link even though you knew you would have to admit the truth about it eventually. Yes, the truth you knew that would hurt them inside because you somewhat…stole away the only guy they ever had feelings for. But then, why didn't it feel as bad as it seemed?

Because…

Because you had Link and your feelings for him just made all your problems vanished. And even though it still seemed hard believe, he felt the same way.

Your Skyloft friends were the only ones who knew about it, but it was only because you could trust them and after all, they were the only real friends you seemed to have. You and Link have constantly been texting each other, but you were hesitant to accept his invitations to go to places with him. And when you did, you didn't have as much fun as you usually would since your mind kept going back to…them. You felt bad, but yet you didn't. It was a complete contradiction. He understood, but…

But still…

Maybe it was somewhat selfish of you to choose Link over your friends, but in a way, they chose him over you too.

The guilt was slowly eating you away and Link could see that. He suggested talking to them for you, but you refused to let him shoulder your problems, especially when it was something only you could do.

"(Name)!" You turned around, already knowing too well whose voice it was that called you.

You locked eyes with a familiar, soft gaze and a smile made its way onto your face.

"Hey, there." You told Link. A light dust of pink covered your cheeks as you saw him return the smile.

"Look, since school's over, I got some place I want to bring you!"

You looked around the hallways, scanning them just in case. "L-like…where?" You gave him a worried glance. "Are you sure? Wait, we're not practicing today are we?"

He laughed at you, but in a playful way. "No, we don't have practice on Fridays, remember? By the way, the sports festival is next week so make sure you're prepared."

"N-n-n-next week?" You sputtered out, aghast. "I'm not ready!"

"Don't worry. You'll be fine…" He replied, although you can see he was smile turned into a nervous one. You two both knew that the chances of you shooting a target dead-on would be a miracle. Sure, you've improved some since the first week, but it was hard concentrating when you could feel two cold glares of Zelda and Illia behind your back.

Before you could say anything else, Link stopped with you right behind him. You looked at the door, puzzled.

"The…guidance counselor? Why'd you take me here?"

"Because, I think maybe Fi can help you out."

"Fi?" You asked with a doubtful tone. "I don't know about this…"

"Go on, you'll be fine!" He reassured you before giving you a light shove through the door. Once inside, a tall lady turned her head towards you with an inquisitive look on her face.

She looked exotic, albeit, she was beautiful. She wore a lot of blue makeup though, and a cape that was the same color blue on one half and then a dark purple on the other half. It came together in the front above her chest, pinned by a huge, matching blue gem. Her dress was the same dark purple that stopped right above her knees and she wore black tights with blue ribbons. She noticed you staring at her and she cleared her throat.

"A-ah, sorry. Ummm…Fi? Are you Miss Fi?" You asked with a sheepish smile plastered on your face.

She nodded and returned your smile as she made her way towards you. She was so graceful it almost looked as if she was just floating. "I am. Is there something wrong that I can help you with in any way?"

You nodded slowly. "I-I guess there is. Umm…my friend Link told me to see you."

Her eyes instantly lit up. "Yes, Mister Link. Master did tell me about him."

"Master?" You muttered under your breath. "That's a way to put it."

"Yes. Master." She repeated and your cheeks flushed. You didn't think she heard you. "In better terms; my boss."

"Oh…right…" You replied unsurely. Maybe this wasn't a good idea after all.

"Follow me." She ordered you before you had a chance to escape.

You sighed and reluctantly followed her to the small room up ahead. Once inside, she gestured you to sit down on a long couch and you lied down with your legs stretched out in front of you. After you were settled, she sat down at her desk and shuffled a few papers.

"You are Miss (Name), correct?"

"Yes."

"Mister Link has informed me of the current problem at hand. It seems as if you're in a dilemma." She explained in a non-changing tone.

"Well, yeah. That's only obvious." You mumbled to yourself, making sure she didn't heart you this time.

"I would suggest telling your friends, but there is a 90 percent probability that they will still remain mad at you if you do."

You sweatdropped. "Well, then what's the point?" You asked, making sure the anger wasn't shown in your voice. Seriously, she was just stating the obvious…

"But according to my calculations, if you could make them see that Mister Link truly does feel same about you, they might be willing to forget their grudges towards you."

You stared at the ceiling in thought before tilting your head to the side to look at Fi. "How would I do that? I feel like…it would only make it worse…"

She looked back at you with a thoughtful expression on her face before striding over to you and taking a seat by your feet. "…according to my calculations…" She turned to you and gave you a small smile. "That is entirely up to you…"

You sat up with newfound determination and nodded your head. "You're right. I can't keep dragging people down into my problems. I gotta handle it myself, no matter what! But…"

She cocked her head to the side. "What is it?"

"I u-uh…" You stammered nervously. "I still don't really know what to do…" You admitted and put a hand before your head sheepishly.

Fi merely smiled and placed a hand on your shoulder. "The winner of the sports festival will be able to make a small speech at the awards ceremony." She informed you suddenly.

"What? That was completely random…I wasn't talking about the sports…oh!" You gasped, realizing what she meant. "Ah…but I haven't been doing so good in the archery club lately…"

"You are from Skyloft, correct?" She asked you seriously.

You nodded.

"I was from that area some time ago. Were you a student at Knight Academy?"

You nodded again.

"Then you know what it means to be a knight? Surely, you had training…"

You looked away, avoiding eye contact. "But I've been out of training for months. It would take weeks to get used to the training I went through. I stopped training once I moved here. I didn't think I'd need it…" You sighed. Maybe there was hope in gaining their forgiveness.

"I suppose…that I will be willing to make an exception then."

"Huh?" You whipped your head towards her. "You mean, you'll help me train? But…but it'll be impossible in less than a week and – "

"I said, I will make an exception." She interjected. "I will see you tomorrow at the gym at 10 in the morning. Bring along the other knights."

You nodded, not needing to ask who the other knights where. "Thank you…Miss Fi." You bowed your head and left the office. You spotted Link leaning against a wall and he turned his head towards you, smiling slightly.

"Hey, how'd it go?" He asked you in an upbeat tone.

"Good! She helped a lot…despite the fact that she says the most randomest and obvious things. Did you know she's from Skyloft?" You told him cheerfully.

He shook his head. "I didn't. That's good to hear. So what're your plans?"

You were about to open your mouth to reply, but then Pipit's voice rang through your head.

'You're not supposed to talk about it outside of the academy, remember?' And by "it," he meant training. In a way, you did kind of break the Knight Academy rules, but it was alright since Fi was from Skyloft…right?

"Uhh…" You pondered for a second on what to tell him. "Keep calm and stay positive…?"

He gazed at you before shrugging his shoulders. "That's good advice…I guess…"

Link reached for you hand, which you hesitantly pulled away. "Link…"

"(Name), it's okay. Everyone else went home already…and I…I just really want to hold your hand." He admitted and to your disbelief, his cheeks started turning red and his face looked extremely flustered. You couldn't help but think about how adorable it was!

"O-okay then…" You replied nervously. Your heart began beating faster. So fast, in fact, that you could feel it pounding in your chest as Link's hand took yours. You could feel a few calluses, but it wasn't a surprise since he was always training. Besides, his hand was warm and it gave you a sense of security that you didn't want to let go. As you two began walking out, you noticed a pale, familiar figure in the corner of your eye.

"Ghirahim!" You called out, greeting your friend. At least, that's what you viewed him as, despite that insults he endlessly threw at you.

"Oh, it's (Name)…" He said, but his eyes narrowed as they landed on yours and Link's interlocked fingers. "And you."

Link forced a smile and replied with a strained voice. "Ghirahim…"

Your eyes darted back and forth between the two. Surely, if something was wrong, either one of them would've said something to you. But now that you thought about it, Ghirahim has been acting a bit strange these past few weeks, but you weren't exactly sure why.

"Is…everything all right?" You finally decided to ask.

They exchanged glances and sighed, as if they were mutually agreeing on something.

"No, everything's fine." Link replied and held your hand tighter, much to Ghirahim's annoyance. "Well, (Name). Let's get you home."

You nodded and waved to Ghirahim who was still scowling at Link. "Bye, Ghirahim! I'll see you Monday!" You said cheerfully and he managed the smallest smile as he watched you leave.

As you two arrived at your front porch, Link leaned down so that his face was inches from yours.

"U-uhh, w-w-what are doing, L-Link?" You stammered as your face began to heat up.

He pulled back, just slightly, and gave you a confused, yet playful look. "Don't I get a goodbye kiss?"

"E-eh?!" You squeaked. That totally caught you off guard. Besides, it's not like you two were a couple…yet. But still, just the idea of kissing him and holding hands with Link was enough to make your heart jump out. Sure, you've enjoyed the only two kisses you and Link have shared, but it still made you nervous.

After you made no further movement, Link stood up straight and put a hand behind his head as he avoided your eyes.

"(Name)…" He said in a serious tone.

You looked up at him, wondering what he was thinking about. "Yes? What is it, Link?"

"You…we…" He sighed and took a deep breath. "We feel the same about each other, right?"

You nodded, although you weren't exactly sure where this was heading. "Yes…"

"Then…why do we have to hide it?" He asked, finally deciding to look at you straight in the eyes.

You stared into his icy blue eyes and gulped. "You know why…" You replied, although it was barely audible, but Link heard you anyway.

"(Name), I just…" He suddenly wrapped his arms around you, enveloping you with his warm body. "I just want you as my own. I know, it sounds a little selfish, but I don't want anyone else to have you."

You sighed and relaxed your shoulders a bit. "That won't happen. But Link…" You slowly pushed him away so you could look at him. "Why me?"

It was a question that has been carved in your mind for a while now. You did find it strange that Link felt the same way about you. Unreal, almost.

"I mean, you could've easily picked Zelda since she likes you…again. And you liked her and all just recently. And Malon's such a great singer and she's adorable. And Saria is probably the nicest person ever and – "

You got cut off my something soft and had the vague flavor of spearmint gum before remembering Link plopping some gum into his mouth before you two left school and the way his lips felt against yours. And once you realized what was going on, it only took you a second to be overwhelmed by the situation and then another second to finally kiss him back. His hand moved to the back of your neck to deepen the kiss and you ran a hand through his soft hair. Slowly, be broke away from you, but his lips were just hovering over yours.

"Because I don't just like you, (Name)…" He whispered. You could feel his warm breath on your face and it sent a shiver down your spine.

"Link…"

"I…I love you, (Name)." He murmured and you could the feel the heat from your face…or was it his?

"Link…I – "

"I know it's only been about two months, but…this is how I feel. I don't know why, but I just seem…complete when you're with me. I know this'll probably sound cheesy, but it's like you're the last piece of my heart and well, it's not complete without you. You're the last piece."

Your eyes began to water up and you wrapped your arms around him, not wanting to let go.

"Link…I…I…" And before you knew it, tears started sliding down your cheeks while Link held you in his arms.

"It's okay…" Link told you in a hushed voice. "Listen, you don't have to say anything back. Just…just tell me how you still feel after you've worked things out with everyone. I know that's the number one thing on your mind right now."

You let go of him and he wiped your eyes with the back of his sleeve. "If I could have another number one thing, it'd be you." You giggled as you wiped another tear from your eye. "But thank you, so much. You have no idea how happy I am."

He smiled at you before giving you one last hug. "I'll see you later."

You nodded and waved goodbye as he walked down the steps of your porch and made his way towards the Kokiri Forest. You sighed happily to yourself and went inside your house to find your Skyloft companions.

"Karane! Everyone! Where are you?!" You shouted while walking around your house, poking your head in every room.

After poking your head in the last room of the house, you gave up. But then you heard what sounded like banging and clashing from your backyard and you made your way there in a surprisingly fast sprint.

"Hey! What're you all doing?!" You demanded as you watched Groose lift heavy weights, Strich looking at bugs, Cawlin attempting sit-ups, Karane practicing archery and Pipit swinging around sword.

"What's it look like?" Karane said without taking her eyes off the tree in front of her.

"Training for…" Groose replied between the weight lifting. "The sports…festival."

"Ha, gotcha!" Karane exclaimed as she released the arrow and the next thing you knew, a squirrel dropped down from a tree and into your backyard.

"Oh yeah…speaking of that…" You began nervously. "You think…you all could help me train for that?"

"Sure." They replied in unison.

"Well, I don't mean just any training…" You added. "I mean…Knight Academy training."

They all stopped what they were doing to look at you with shocked expressions plastered on their faces. "What?!"

You nodded and smiled sheepishly. "Look, I have a plan…" And you explained to them this so-called plan.

"Wait, so you want to win the festival…" Groose began.

"Just to make a speech?" Pipit questioned unsurely.

"To apologize?" Cawlin and Strich said at once.

"Are you insane?!" Karane yelled as she flailed her arms around. "You'll be dead from all the training by the time next week comes around. What makes you think we can give you the two months of training you missed in less than a week?"

"Well, then let's start now!" You stated determinedly and raised your arms up in excitement. "I should at least start by running a few laps to get myself in shape…a little."

Karane facepalmed herself and groaned. "You're not even in shape! This is definitely not going to be easy."

"So you'll help?"

They all exchanged glances with each other and finally, Karane was the last to nod her head in agreement.

"Just don't cry when you feel like you can't move your arms." She told you.

You smirked. "Come on, have faith in me!"

"Who knows? She might pull it off. She was one of the best in our class, remember?" Pipit stated.

Groose shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah, but still. It'll take a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get back to that same level of skill she had."

"I'll shed as much blood, sweat and tears as it takes!" You shouted excitedly. You didn't really care about the training; you were just excited that the first part of your plan to get your friends back was working.

After a few laps and a lot of sweat, you decided to call it quits for the day as the sun was no longer visible in the sky.

"So…anything interesting happen today?" Karane asked after you got out of the shower and dressed up for bed.

"Well…" And you explained to her the events between you and Link. Since she was the only girl, she was the only one who understood you. On top of that, she was your best friend.

"He told you that you were the last piece?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow, unimpressed.

"Yes! Isn't that cute?" You squealed as your face began to turn red.

"I don't know. It's kind of offensive. I mean, you should be the first piece!"

You sighed and threw a pillow in her face. "Whatever! Anyways, remember that we're going to school tomorrow at 10 am!"

She groaned in annoyance. "In the morning?! Ugh, the things I do for you…"

You smiled and turned off your bedside lamp. "Goodnight, Karane~"

"Yeah, yeah. Goodnight."

As you rolled over to a comfortable position in your bed, you smiled to yourself.

The last piece…

Yeah, you could definitely get used to that.

Stella: Yeah, the ending could've been better, but I'm too sleepy to think of another one. Well, next chapter shall include training with Fi and Skyloft secrets...revealed! Oh, and of course some drama to make up for all the fluff. I kinda just made this up as I went along and I wanted to write fluffy stuff cause Stella loves the fluff! :D

But yeah...I know the whole love thing might've been rushed, but I did just come up with it on a whim. And I chose spearmint cause it's green and well, Link's color is green. :)

Again, sorry to make you guys wait so long! I hope you liked this chapter! Reviews are welcome! :D

Oh yeah, and thanks to the reviewers that suggested Ghirahim have a crush on the reader cause I actually wasn't going to do it...but I thought it over and was like 'Ahh, what the heck!' xD
