"Telma, it's been so great seeing you." Zelda said.
"Well, don't you too stay away! Come see me again, please!" Telma said.
"Here, let me pay you for…" Link started to pay Telma for her kindness but she flipped out instead.
"No! No! No! You put that money away! I don't want a thing! I'm just so happy I could talk to you two tonight." Telma insisted as she shoved rupees toward Link.
"Please, you're too good, Telma let me give you something." Link begged of her.
"You want to give me something you give me a good seat in the temple at your wedding! That's all I want. Now it was so wonderful to see you. Here, come give me a hug before you two leave!" Telma said waddling to the front of the bar once more. She hugged Zelda and Link and then walked them to the door.
"Listen, we'll see you again soon we promise." Zelda said.
"I hope so! Don't be a stranger in these parts!" Telma said. And with that Telma closed the door behind them. The night had grown cold and dark. There were snow flurries sprinkled throughout the air. Link put an arm around Zelda. The castle town was still bustling and smelled of burning wood since nearly ever establishment had a fire roaring in it. There were still children in the street and even vendors spite the fact that it had long been dark.
"You know…I've been thinking a bit…I'm going to change the color of my gown." Zelda said clearly referring to her wedding gown.
"What!? Nooooo! Zelda you can't! Wait….what color is it now?" Link asked her a little confused.
"As of yesterday morning it was white and silver as of last night it turned ivory and antique gold." Zelda said laughing.
"So what color is it going to turn after tonight?" Link asked laughing at her and pulling her over to him by the hand. Zelda laughed.
"Oh, it's going to stay ivory and antique gold. I just really need to call the seamstress in the morning and tell them I don't want the white and silver anymore."
"You can't. Just leave it white and silver otherwise you're going to break Impa's heart because she's going to figure out why you want to change it. Now the seamstress, she won't care she won't ask questions. Here, I'll be Impa and show you how this conversation will go: "Impa I'm changing the color of my gown." "Oh my god! Zelda! Why!? Why are you doing this!? Your gown was perfect! Now it's awful. Oh my god, you're not a virgin are you!?" Then she'll burst into tears." Link demonstrated this situation. Zelda laughed at him.
"Okay, now here's how I cover everything. I tell Impa I've changed my mind about the color of my gown because I spent some time with the seamstress this weekend and she showed me the same gown in ivory and antique gold. I fell in love with the colors because they were so regal and dignified and no one else in Hyrule has ever worn ivory and gold before and I want to be the first. Imagine, Impa what a trend I'll set when the talk of future brides is 'did you see that gorgeous ivory and gold gown the princess wore for her wedding? I simply must have something that color! And Impa…think about this…every little girl in town will look at that gown when it's on display after the wedding with hope in their eyes and picture themselves in it on their wedding day. " Zelda stopped there. The look on Link's face right now truly needed to be captured for preservations sake.
"Impa doesn't have a comeback for that one. You win…wow…you had that rehearsed down to the wire….I mean you didn't flinch! Geesh! That was so moving I just might cry! Thank god you're still a virgin, Zelda!" Link said the last part with as much sarcasm as possible. Zelda laughed.
"So you like that, huh?" Zelda asked.
"I do like that, that's good. She won't see through that one." Link told her. They were coming closer to the palace. Link and Zelda turned the corner, leaving the bustling scene of the castle town marketplace and moving down the long isolated street toward the palace. Suddenly, Zelda stopped Link in the middle of the street. She put her arms on his shoulders and leaned her lips toward Link's ear.
"Take me inside…take me to our room…take off my clothes…then take me…" Zelda whispered to him as she drug her lips across his neck. As previously stated, Link wasn't the only tease who could get by with it. Now Zelda clearly had the upper hand, she had him standing there motionless…until she kissed her way over to meet her lips with his. Their kiss was heated, so much so that it was a kiss never intended for a public place…it was a good thing they were so close to the palace. "I want you to touch me…" Zelda said as she pulled her lips away from Link but immediately kissed him again, it seemed there was a lot more tongue in it than anything else. "I want you to spread my legs underneath you…" Zelda said a little breathlessly before kissing him again. She dug her glove covered hands into Link's coat. "I want to scream for you." Zelda said now entirely breathless. Let's be painfully honest, Link was so full of lust for her right now he wasn't entirely sure if what Zelda said was dreamed up in his head or if she actually said it. Link took Zelda by the shoulders and pushed her toward the palace. They moved hastily and clumsily over the wet cobblestones where the snow had melted away. Zelda approached the side door to the palace. She searched her pocket for the key. She finally found it and unlocked the door before them. It was a good thing she and Link had rebuilt the fires larger than usual before they left. The palace was surprisingly warm. Once inside, Zelda pushed Link up against the door and kissed him as she unbuttoned his coat. She got it off his shoulders and let it hit the floor. Zelda could feel Link peel her scarf off her neck. Zelda pulled link's gloves off followed by hers. She interlaced her fingers with his and pulled his arms around her. Zelda clumsily worked her boots off but fell over into Link doing so…not that he minded. She pulled away from Link long for him to take his boots off next. She barely let him do so when she grabbed his arm and pulled Link toward her as Zelda walked backwards down the hall.
"What are you thinking about right now?" Zelda asked as she pulled him closer to their room. Link sighed heavily. But before he could answer Zelda has the door open to their room. "Ssshhhhhh….don't tell me…show me." Zelda said pulling Link into their room and closing the door behind them. Link traded her places and pushed her back against the door. She felt his lips all over her neck, on her chin and as she felt his lips on hers she felt her soft cotton pants fall to her ankles. She responded to this by pulling Link's shirt over his head. She snuck her fingers into the waist of his pants and guided him toward their bed. He moaned as he felt Zelda nudge him backwards until he was engulfed in blankets and Zelda was lying over him. Zelda felt her shirt come up over her head. Not a word was spoken as Zelda felt the rest of her clothes come off; and much more fluidly tonight than the night before. It didn't take long for Link to be as naked as she was. He took Zelda in his arms and rested his forehead on hers.
"I love you…and I don't want to hurt you…so you have to tell me when it hurts." Link told her.
"You won't hurt me…you didn't hurt me the last time we tried." Zelda reassured him. Zelda dug her fingers into Link's hair. She felt him part her legs under the covers. As Zelda felt Link push into her she arched her back…she didn't cringe, she didn't tense up, she didn't even cry out…but the night wasn't over and she would be crying out all right…just not with discomfort in her voice.
