A/N: Salutations my sexy readers! It is I! Did ya miss me? I'm updating this week almost on time, oops! Haha. Originally I was planning to take a week off again to finish my work, but I had a free day and I thought, "why not update for my wonderful readers?" :D. I also got some extra motivation from two people who messaged me about my story to update asap! I won't say any names though ;)
I'm really impressed! 30 reviews in a week? You're all so amazing, I'm always left speechless with you guys and girls! Thank you all who reviewed my story very much! I love hearing your thoughts about each chapter, it always makes me want to write even more ^^.
I reached the 100 favourites mark this chapter! Wohoo! Thank you to the 104 people who so far think my story is worth favouriting! :*
*** Something minor: I changed the genre of this story to "romance/drama" because yes there is hurt/comfort in my story... But there's gonna be a hell of a lot of drama! And hurt/comfort is included in that :p ***
Without further ado, the fourteenth installment of Forbidden Love!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Legend of Zelda! There would be at least one kissing scene in each LoZ title if I did x]
FYI! Just so there's no confusion! :)

Moonlit Endearment
[From the Princess' Perspective]
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
My heart began palpitating after hearing the words that just came out of Link's mouth; I can't believe what he said to me. No, I won't believe what he said to me. And now, now I'm mad.
"Zelda, sweetheart..." Impa said calmly, knowing that many mixed emotions will suddenly rise from my system.
"Don't 'Zelda, sweetheart' me, Impa!" I retaliated.
"Please let me exp-" Link said, trying to speak to me.
"So this is what you've been hiding from me all day, Link?!" I interrupted, pointing a finger at him.
He slowly nodded at me in shame.
"Hmph." I grunted as I turned around on my heel and walked back into my quarters, wanting to pace around. Impa and Link entered a few seconds later.
"Zelda-" He began.
"It's 'Your Highness' to you! You peasant!" I interjected in complete fury.
I honestly don't know why I retorted in such a manner towards him; I don't really like to be called "Your Highness" by people who are close to me.
"Zelda!" Impa blurted out loud, shocked about how indecent my word choice was.
Link bowed his head to me, "Oh, right. Forgive me, Your Highness. Calling you by your name was a mistake and I-"
"Answer my question, Link! Is this what you were hiding from me while we were babysitting the kids?! Tell me!" I obnoxiously demanded.
"Yes, Your majesty..." He repeated, head still lowered.
I chuckled in disbelief, "You must be crazy."
"Zelda-" Impa interjected.
"Stay out this, Impa! This is between me and Link, and it's going to stay that way." I interrupted, staring her down.
Impa didn't say another word. Smart move by the Sheikah Tribe's most talented warrior.
"Your Highness, I-"
"How can you not tell me about this, Link! Don't I deserve to know?!" I yelled, continuing to scold him.
"Of course you do-"
"I trusted you! How could you hide something like this from me?! With such little notice I have no time to prepare!" I yelled, still angry.
"I didn't mean to-"
"Don't you know how much I'm against the idea of marriage and meeting princes from other kingdoms?!" I interrogated, continuing to rant.
"Yes, and I-"
"Why aren't you answering me, Link!" I blurted as I clenched my fists.
"You're not giving me a chance to-"
"Great! I had such an amazing day and you had to go ruin it for me! Thanks a lot." I sighed, anger still seething within my body, "Thanks for nothing."
"I'm sorry..." Link replied, taking a step towards me.
I don't want to be near him right now. Why would I want to be after something like this happening? Does he think this is whole "suitor" business is just fun and games? Doesn't he know that I don't want to meet stupid princes from neighbouring kingdoms about marriage? Yeah, he knows. I told him during the first night we slept together! How the hell can he forget? Not to mention he hid this from me the whole day. It involves me, so I have every right to know, right? Obviously!
"Go away! I don't want to see you right now." I demanded as I turned my head in another direction.
"Please, let me-" He began, looking at me.
"No!" I interrupted, taking a moment to stare at him too.
I no longer wanted to see him, so after a long moment of staring at each other, I looked straight ahead and walked right passed him, not giving him another look as I stepped out on my balcony.
"I said go away! Do you not understand the words coming out of my mouth?!" I snarled from my balcony, not turning around to face him.
"I-I... Okay, I understand... Goodnight, Your Highness." Link replied with an evident frown, bowing to me even though I wasn't looking at him.
He nodded at Impa and slowly made his way towards the exit, taking one last look at the back of my head before closing the door so quietly, I didn't hear it shut.
Impa grunted and made her way towards the balcony where I was standing, arms crossed and brows slightly furrowed.
"Your Highness." Impa bitterly said to me.
What gives her the right to speak to me in such a bitter tone? She and Link were the ones who hid this from me!
"What?" I replied just as bitterly, turning around to face her.
She roughly grabbed my hand and pulled me back inside my bedroom. I didn't appreciate that, not one bit.
"Sit the hell down." She demanded, her red irises filled with a new source of anger, which I really have no idea how it came about. I decided to listen to her and took a seat.
"What do you want?" I disrespectfully asked her.
"I have things to tell you." She informed me.
"As a Princess, I refuse to hear it." I retorted, using my title as a sense of defence.
"Well, as your mother figure I don't care if you don't want to hear it! It's my job to tell you the things you need to hear!" She fumed.
"I see... Proceed." I replied, giving her a chance to speak freely.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" She spat, "How could you say those things to Link?!"
"What's wrong with me?!" I testified in disbelief, "More like, what's wrong with him!"
"You think he intentionally hid that from you for his own benefit?! Is that what you're thinking right now?!" She yelled, panting with growing fury.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I replied bitterly.
"The reason he hid this from you is because he didn't want to ruin your day of babysitting with him! He knew how much of a great time you were going to have and he didn't want to ruin it! He wanted you to be happy today, Zelda. He didn't do this for himself; He did this for YOU! But you were too busy ranting and babbling that you didn't give him the chance to plead his case!" She explained with her fists clenched.
"If he was so inclined on informing me about this, why didn't he just tell me instead of just hiding it from me all day! What about that, huh?!" I retorted.
"You know what? He actually didn't want to hide this from you all day! If you decided to use your undeniably pointy ears to listen to the words that came out of my mouth a moment ago then you'd figure out that he had no choice but to do it! He was going to tell you before you two retired for the night, but you both were so tired from babysitting that you both fell fast asleep, seizing his opportunity to do so!" She yelled as a matter-of-factly, "And I know you, Zelda. I know you fell asleep first. I know you were the one who was tired."
"How would you know that I fell asleep first, huh? What makes you so sure I was the tired one?" I interrogated.
"Obvious reasons." She stated flatly, "First, I took care of you ever since you were five years old. I know how tiring it is to take care of a child. Not to mention you've never babysat before. Second, Link has been doing manual labour all his life, worked tediously and constantly. Yes, he may have been tired, but he definitely had more energy left than you."
I was a little taken back by what she said to me, but I'm not going to lose this argument; I'm going to keep a strong front.
"That doesn't matter! He still could've told me!" I responded.
Impa gave me a sarcastic laugh and smile, "You really think you're right, don't you?"
I hesitantly nodded, "Yes, I do believe I'm right. Link is the one that hurt me!"
"So you think you're the only one that's hurt?! You of all people should know him better than anyone else in Hyrule. You should know that he'd never intentionally hurt you in any way. You know he cares for you deeply and would never let anything bad happen to you! Don't you remember in the throne room when your father dubbed him as a part of his army?! He swore he'd protect you with his life. Your happiness is more important to him than his own!" She replied, huffing in disbelief, "And you're too stubborn to realize what you have in front of you, Zelda. Why don't you open your eyes for once instead of just opening your mouth!"
Impa wasn't going to let me win. She spoke to me without restraint, which is quite rare of her to do. But it was that moment where I realized my grave mistake; I was so angry I didn't bother to listen; to let him say his side, let alone speak to me...
"W-what?... Really?" I asked her in shock.
She sighed, "Yes, Zelda."
Impa's face softened slightly, noticing my angry face faltering.
Of all the times I've called myself stupid, nothing I did before compares to what I just did to him right now. My angry expression melted from my face and was replaced by an utterly forlorn one.
I didn't change into my nightie, so I was still wearing the black dress I wore the whole day. I gripped part of it with complete sorrow and guilt, looking down at my lap.
"You're right, Impa... I've done wrong... What should I do?..." I asked, worried about Link.
"What any person should do after they've wronged someone;" Impa retorted with her arms crossed, "apologize."
"Yes, you're right. That's exactly what I have to do. I need to apologize to him tonight!" I said in confidence, standing up, "I'll apologize to him about not letting him plead his case!"
"Is that the only thing you need to apologize for?" She asked me with one brow raised. It's as if she believes I'm missing something...
I admit I was a tad overdramatic earlier, but I couldn't conceal my emotions at that time...
"Is there something else I need to apologize for?..." I asked nervously.
Oh Nayru, What more did I do wrong?
"How about the words you've said to him?" She indicated.
"I don't think the words I've said to him were too offensive..." I muttered, pondering what I possibly said that could be held accountable as offensive.
"'Not too offensive'? You've got to be fucking kidding me..." She replied, cursing under her breath.
I had a momentary wave of surprise flow through me as Impa finished her sentence; she usually refrains from cursing so crudely.
"What did I say that was so bad?..." I innocently asked. I really don't know which part of what I said to him was so bad.
"How about the fact that you told took a huge leap backwards in your relationship with him by making him refer to you as 'Your Highness' after finally convincing him to speak to you on a first name basis?" She fumed.
After hearing that, I felt a sudden pain surface where my heart is. Did I really mess up that bad?
"And of all the things you could have possibly called him... You called him a 'peasant'!" She spat in disgust.
My mouth dropped in disbelief. Did I really call him that? I didn't realize it! Honest!
"Did I really?..."
"You should've seen how hurt he was after you said that, Zelda. I felt like crying. Me. Impa. The woman who hasn't shed a tear for most of her life." She said, enlightening me and making me feel worse, "But, do you know what's worse than being reminded that you're a peasant?"
"What?..." I dubiously replied. I wasn't sure if I wanted to know the answer.
Impa took a moment take a deep breath, sighing.
"Remembering that you're a peasant... Without a family... Or even parents..." She quietly replied, biting her lower lip as a rare single tear dripped down from one of her eyes.
The pain in my chest began to throb even more. No... This can't be real.
"Impa... He... he doesn't?..." I began, unable to finish my question.
She slowly shook her head at me, indicating what she was saying was true. I stood up as tears began to build up in my eyes. My knees trembled and I inwardly panicked. I was unforgivingly cruel to the man who only cares for my happiness.
"H-h-how do you know?..." I asked almost inaudibly.
"Mandatory background check. It's a minor background check, but it's done for all of your father's soldiers, remember?" She explained.
I slowly nodded my head, being reassured twice now that this wasn't a lie. I have to find him and apologize, and I have to do it fast.
"I-Impa! I have to go find him!" I declared as my voice trembled.
She nodded, "Go."
I nodded back and ran out the door of my room barefoot. I stopped at Link's door and knocked on it, slightly hopping up and down on my tiptoes, impatiently waiting for a reply.
"Link! it's me, Zelda..."
No answer.
"Link, please answer me... I really need to speak to you..."
No reply.
"Please?"
Nothing.
Damn! Well, if he's not going to let me in... I'm going to let myself in.
I ran back into my room and to my balcony. Impa looked at me with a confused expression, but I ignored her. I inhaled and exhaled, building up the courage to do the one thing Link always does; hop over to his balcony. I stepped onto the stone cold concrete ledge and hopped over, quickly running into Link's room.
"Link?" I called as I looked at his bed, hoping he'd be there.
A lone tear fell from my cheek after seeing the results; he wasn't in here.
Where could he possible be?! Did I scare him? Did he run away? Did he finally decide to leave me? Yes I wanted to be alone, but I didn't want him to leave completely! I need to find him! Quickly!
Since I was pressed for time, I quickly ran to my room and sloppily slipped on a pair of boots, running out soon after. I made my way through the castle, looking into various hallways hoping to find Link in one of them. Sadly, luck wasn't on my side.
I pressed my back against the castle wall and let my body slide down, letting my rear touch the floor. I couldn't help but think that this was the end of my relationship with Link. No, we're not a couple, but we're really close anyway.
I thought all hope was gone for me, until I realized I didn't check the one place in the castle we'd always be together in; the kitchen!
I hopped onto my feet like a bunny and sprinted to the kitchen, which was pretty far from my current location. I ran passed many guards who are taking the night shift, not bothering to acknowledge them as they bowed their heads to me. They must think I'm weird, but I don't care; I have to find Link.
I got to the kitchen and peeped inside, hoping to see a man in a black tunic and hat.
"Link?" I said, calling for him.
I turned on the lights and did a quick scan around the room; he wasn't there.
"Fuck!" I cursed under my breath as I flailed my arms in the air in defeat.
If I want to find Link, I have to think like him. Okay, I'm not sleeping in my room like the sleepyhead I am, I'm not in Zelda's room because she scolded me, I'm not in the kitchen because I'm not hungry... Gr... Where else?!
My eyes popped open as a thought popped up in my head; Epona! The stables!
I exited the kitchen and ran as fast as I could. My calves were burning, but I didn't let that stop me from running. I exited the castle and sped through the grassy field, my petite legs and feet briskly speeding through the nature Farore blessed us with, panting as I reached the stable door.
"Link! Link!" I called, making a cup shape with my hands around my mouth, "Are you in there?"
...
No... answer...
I dropped to my knees and began to cry.
"Link..." I wailed as I continued sobbing.
"Princess?..." I heard a sudden voice from above me.
A Goddess is speaking to me, and she made her voice sound like Link's! Has she no mercy?!
"Whichever Goddess is speaking to me, I'm sorry!" I cried out, "Please change the sound of your voice!"
"No, Your Highness... Look up. It's me, Link." The Goddess said to me again.
I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked up, only to see Link's silhouette glisten in the brightness of the Hylian moon as he sat on the stable's roof.
"Oh," I said, sniffling, "Hi Link."
Thank the Goddesses I've finally found him! And sorry to the Goddesses too...
"How did you get up there?..." I asked.
He took out the hookshot I gave him from his pocket, "With your present. I guess you want it back, huh?" He said to me.
"N-no, keep it, please." I replied, trying to stop my crying.
He noticed my sniffles and jumped down from the roof, effortlessly landing perfectly on both feet, his gesture catching me by surprise. He walked up to me and held his hand out for me to take.
"Your Highness, please get up. The Princess should not be seen in such a vulnerable state." He kindly informed me.
"Call me Zelda, please..." I begged as I took his hand.
I slowly stood up. He let go of mine and slowly bowed his head, putting both hands behind his back, like he was waiting for me to give him an order or something.
"Link... Look at me." I told him.
His head didn't move.
"Please look at me..." I said, my voice trembling.
I attempted to wrap my arms around him, but he grabbed my arms, stopping me from doing so.
"Link please..." I begged, beginning to cry.
He began to walk back towards the castle. I wasn't going to let him slip away from me again, so I wiped the tears from my eyes, kept my sniffling to a minimum, fixed my posture, and followed him wherever he planned to go. He didn't seem to mind, I guess he wanted me to follow him after all. He made his way through various halls and corridors, not acknowledging any guards he passed. All the guards we passed by bowed their heads to me, and I gave them a slight grin, at least acknowledging their presence.
I recognized the path we were taking; we were returning to the corridor where our rooms resided. After taking a flight of stairs, we finally reached Link's room, and he opened the door, walking inside. I waited at the door, unsure if he wanted me to enter or if he wanted me to wait here. I noticed that he didn't shut the door after opening it, so I took it as an invitation inside. He walked to his balcony and turned around, watching my boots as I condensed the gap between us.
"Link?" I quietly said.
He stayed silent, so I decided to take action; wrapping my arms tightly around his waist.
I repeated my request, "Link... please look at me."
He still wouldn't look, so I released my grasp from his waist and placed both my delicate hands on his cheeks, gently turning his head to face me.
I finally understood why Impa wanted to cry. The expression he had on his face was by far the most pain-filled expression I've ever seen in my life. You know that feeling you get when you disappoint your mother to the point where she breaks down and cries in front of you? Yeah, I feel that exact feeling right now. My heart continued shattering into smaller pieces.
"I'm sorry, Link..." I told him, but he stayed silent, staring at me with his pained expression.
"Please talk to me." I begged, biting my lower lip, trying to stop my flow of tears.
He wouldn't speak, he wouldn't even mouth a word to me. His mouth was kept shut and it looked like he intended to keep it that way. Well, if he didn't want to speak to me, I'm going to have to speak to him.
"Link I'm so sorry for what I said and what I've done to you. I didn't mean anything that I said to you on my balcony; I succumbed to the anger building up inside of me and didn't handle it with the poise and control I should have. I had no right to do those things because you only cared for my happiness. I now know the reason that you hid this from me all day, and I shouldn't be getting mad; I should be thanking you for considering my feelings. I really hope you forgive me for doing such wrong to you. During that time when we were staring at each other for a long moment, I shouldn't have walked right passed yo-"
I immediately stopped talking as Link looked straight ahead and walked passed me, not giving me another glance; a taste of my own medicine...
I can tell you right now, it doesn't taste good, not good at all.
I froze in my position, my mouth hanging open. I felt paralysis ravage through my body as quickly as Link eats his pancakes. I couldn't move; I didn't want to. I was hurting so much I couldn't even turn my body. I continued to look straight, mouth agape, eyes wide, tears slowly glissading down my ice cold, colourless face.
I wish I was Elsa right now. She's married to him and has a family of four. She won't have to let it go because she doesn't care what anyone's going to say. Nobody's opinion matters except for hers and Link's. She wouldn't be frozen like I am right now. She's happy. Unlike me... I have to care what people are going to say, even if I truly don't. I'm Princess Zelda, not Princess Elsa.
These few passing moments felt like a lifetime of heart-wretching pain. I let out a small whimper as I was finally able to shut my eyes, letting my salty tears slither down my cheek. As I began yet another session of me crying, I felt a pair of two warm, gauntleted hands softy wrap around my svelte waist, clasping together on top of my flat belly. I let out an inaudible gasp of bewilderment and unconsciously tilted my head backwards, only to have it stopped by a toned chest.
I can recognize that chest from anywhere! It's... it's Link's! He... came back for me...
I turned my head over to the left, only to see his head, tilted upwards, looking at the beautiful night sky. I turned my whole body in a one hundred and eighty degree angle and clung onto him, making sure he won't be able to take another step.
"Link..." I whispered as I looked at him.
He gently placed his hands around my forearms, gesturing me to let go; I reluctantly obliged with his unspoken request. He reached for my face and moved my stray hairs to their proper places, then placed one of his thumbs on each of my cheeks, lightly wiping the trail on my cheek made by my hot tears and the tears building up on my eyelids that I tried ever so hard not to let fall.
"Zelda, don't cry." He whispered softly to me, looking into my eyes, "I hate seeing you cry."
"I can't..." I sniffled.
"Why?" He asked softly.
"Because I said such contemptible and disrespectful things to you because of my emotions... I'm so sorry for hurting you..." I whispered as he continued to cup my cheeks in his hands.
"It's okay, I forgive you. I understand how you feel." He replied, reassuring me that he was fine.
Thing is, it's not fine. I had no right to say such dehumanizing things to him.
"No, Link... It's not. Regardless of my emotions, I shouldn't have said those things; I had no right and was in no position to..." I said, sniffling. I've cried way too much this night. I'm sorry, I can't help it.
He let out a small chuckle, "You say what's on your mind. I respect that." He said softly.
"I was acting hastily and irrationally spoke words which I took no time to think about... I'm so sorry..."
He let go of my cheeks and placed his hands behind his back.
"It's fine, Zelda. I've already forgiven you." He said softly, giving me a modest smile.
For the first time since I lost my tempter, I smiled. I clung onto him tightly yet again, not letting him move.
"Why do you keep hugging me like this?" He asked me, concerned but certainly okay with my gesture.
"I told you to go away and you actually did. I'm not going to let you leave again." I told him, nuzzling my head against his chest.
"Well you're going to have to let go eventually... At some point I'm going to have to pee, and I don't think I can go with you clinging onto me like this." He said with a chuckle, returning my embrace.
Of course Link would make a dumb joke at a serious time like this... But I couldn't help but grin, he's so adorable.
"Looks like you'll have to hold it in." I told him as I giggled, not loosening my grip.
"Well, when my bladder explodes you'll be sorry." He retorted, gently stroking my hair.
"Do that and I'll leave you to die." I responded with another chuckle.
"So you'd let me die... But you won't let me pee?" He playfully asked, looking down at me.
"I'm not going to let you do anything." I responded with a cheeky smile.
"Great. I've found my utopia." He sarcastically joked.
"Hey, Link." I whispered.
"Yes?" He replied.
"Promise me you won't leave even if I ask you to." I quietly requested.
He let out faint grin, "Are you scared I'm going to leave the castle or something?"
"A little..." I admitted softly.
"Then I promise." He vowed, smiling at me.
"Thank you." I chortled.
I looked up at him and noticed his mind was momentarily elsewhere.
"Link?" I asked quietly.
He looked back down at me, "Sorry. I was just looking at the night sky. It's so clear, and all the stars are out."
I gasped, "I want to see!" I mused.
"Lift both your hands in the air." He requested with a chuckle.
I have no idea what he meant by that, but I lifted my arms up anyway.
He placed his hands on the narrowest part of my waist and quickly spun me around, facing the ledge of his balcony. I giggled as my body gracefully rotated in the wind. He kept his hold on me, hugging me from behind for the second time tonight. I placed both my hands on top of his, and I can't lie, I'm excited. Our bodies were in full contact with one another... I can even feel his thighs on my bu-
Maybe I should leave that part out.
We both stared at the sky in silence, admiring the scattered stars and the full moon providing natural light to the darkest areas of the world. Suddenly, a shooting star swiftly shot across the sky.
"Link! Look! A shooting star!" I squeaked.
He looked up and smiled, "Make a wish, Zelda."
I shut my eyes and quickly figured out what my wish is going to be.
I wish for...
Yeah right, like I'd say it.
"What did you wish for?" He asked me.
"I can't say! It won't come true if I tell you." I reminded him.
"Well if your wish was to get rid of me, tell me right now." He addressed.
"I'm not saying that wasn't my wish..." I hinted, flirtatiously grimacing at him.
"Fine." He concluded, releasing his hold on my belly.
I instantly retaliated by placing my hands on top of his, making sure he can't let go.
"I'm not saying that it was my wish, either." I added, flirtatiously grimacing the exact same way again.
"You're undeniably not funny." He retorted.
"Thanks." I chimed as I closed my eyes and smiled.
Everything that just happened tonight made me forget what's actually happening tomorrow... Well today, considering it's already passed midnight. My smile turned into a frown, recalling what's there to come.
"Zelda, are you okay?" Link asked me, noticing my altered mood.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine..." I lied.
"Hey, you don't want me to hide things from you, so I don't want you to hide things from me either." He responded.
"I'm scared..." I admitted.
"About later today?" He depicted.
"Yes..." I quietly replied.
"You'll be fine, Zelda; I'll be by your side the whole time. If you get uncomfortable, let me know. I'll deal with whoever makes you feel that way." He consoled.
He always knows what to say to make me feel better. Again, I couldn't help but let out a girly smile.
"Thank you, Link." I replied, still smiling.
He leaned over and kissed my cheek softly, "Keep that smile on your face. It's cute."
I instantly blushed and looked in the opposite direction, staring at the ground as my cheeks flourished in pink.
It's going to be hell for me when I get out of bed and meet all these dumb princes who I really have no interest in meeting at all. But Link will be there with me, so it won't be so bad right? Right?... Well, there's only one way to find out.
A/N: You all thought that this chapter was going to be the suitor chapter, huh? I was going to do that! But the chapter would be too long if I included this! This part is long enough to be a chapter of its own... So I made it that way :).
I know some of you may think that Zelda was being overdramatic... And you're right, she was! She admitted it too :P
This was the first time I've done this type of drama heavy chapter. I hope I've written it well.
