second to last chapter, short, but hopefully sweet...
I don't own anything Nintendo, Nitendo does.
I could hear Zelda and Link talking in her room as I passed it on my way to my own room.
Naturally, I stopped and eavesdropped, though the back of my mind was reminding me that I owed it to Zelda as an old friend to let her be when it came to romance.
Link was tripping over his words, I could feel the confession coming, which would spread like a plague through the mansion were it anyone else.
But loyalty would silence my tongue in this matter.
It was amazing, really, how the two knew each other so well and didn't have a clue about the other's affections.
I smiled and walked away, she could tell me what ha happened on her time.

"Hey Link, Zelda was implying that she would like to talk with you."
I looked up from what I had been doing, it was Samus' voice on the other side of the door.
"You can open the door," I said.
She walked in, "I just thought you ought to know, Zelda implied that she wanted to talk to you."
"And...?"
"You should go talk to her. I think she just wanted to talk."
"About?"
"Ask her yourself," she folded her arms and strode away.
"Should I just go into her room then?" I asked, my voice slightly raised.
"Knock first!" She shouted down the hall.
After a second of thought, I headed to the Princess's room.
The door was slightly ajar. I knocked on it anyway, "Your Highness? May I come in?"
"The door is open," she said.
The room was middle-class, with a modern bed and desk, she had apparently not decorated this year.
"Samus informed me that you wished to speak with me," I kneeled, feeling apologetic for not treating her as formally as was expected lately.
Zelda nodded, "How are you, Link?"
"Good, how are you?" I straightened up.
"I am doing quite well thank you, would you like to sit?" she pulled the desk chair out.
I sat.
"And how is Ike doing?" I asked.
"He is probably doing well, though we are not spending very much time together."
"Do you dislike something about him?"
She shrugged, "Ike is very straightforward. At least, with me he is."
I never would have assumed Ike a straightforward person.
She continued, "In other words, girls would just say, 'he's not my type.'"
"And when did you realize that?"
"Yesterday, in the market place."
We were silent for a moment.
She smiled at something unseen.
"I have another admirer," She began.
I raised my eyebrows, was she on to me?
"They've been giving me lilacs and other types of my favorite flowers."
A soft smile was on her face.
"Hm..." I said, ogling a little bit.
"Oh, I'm sorry, you probably don't like hearing about girl things... My apologies."
"It's okay." I re-assured her, "Zelda... I need to..." my confidence failed me and I trailed off.
"Hmm?" she looked me in the eyes, naturally, I blushed and looked away.
"What?" she tried again, I stood up.
I took a deep breath, "Zelda?"
"What is it... Link?" her face going red, was I making her nervous? Was this a bad idea?
"I think that... well I'm pretty sure that..."
"Link, what are you saying?" she stood up.
"Zelda, it might just be my hormones talking but... I love you..."
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH epic romance, not my commen thing, but hey, hope you were entertained, and he next chapter will be short most likely, as well, Well thanks for reading... see you later...
