Hey everyone, Paradigm of Writing here with drabble #14: Night Call in the drabble set, Engraved in Stone! It's Link and Samus. I haven't visited these two since chapter numero uno and dos. Damn, time flies. These are rather fun to write and all- the next few coming up are some of my favorites. I've got five more left after this to write then I'm jumping on The Wizard of Smash. No matter how hard the story will be to write, I won't give up on it. I hope you enjoy it!
"Can I please just come in for a few minutes?" Link asked his best friend as she clung to the door handle.
"No," Samus shot down the request. "I'm already two hours past my curfew! My parents would kill me just for that, let alone knowing I was out in the dark alone with a boy."
"They are that conservative?"
"Sometimes. When it comes to me, night, and guys mixed in one- yeah, they can be." Samus replied.
Link stomped his foot. "Well, good night."
Samus kissed him atop his head before disappearing into her house. Link waited patiently at the door, rocking back and forth on his heels. He checked his watch, it was nearly midnight. He froze, seeing that a light appeared in an upstairs room. Looked like Samus made it without having serious confrontation with her parents. Thinking fast, he grabbed a miniature pebble that sent dust particles to the ground in his hand and chucked it at her window. It made a clinging noise, louder than he anticipated. The window was thrown open, an angry Samus glaring down at him.
"What the hell are you doing, idiot?" she hissed.
Link smiled sheepishly. "I don't know if heard me say goodnight."
Samus rolled her eyes. "If you think you're gonna come up here and act like Romeo, well you've got another whole thing coming.
He sighed. "I guess that means you're rejecting me."
Samus chuckled. "Yeah, that's about right. Now go home Link, I don't want you catching influenza in this cold weather. Good night. I love you."
"You too." Link smiled, and then waited as she closed her window shut. He turned around and started walking home.
The moon shone in the sky like a delicious ball of mozzarella cheese, it's rays practically illuminating the street. Link brushed his maple hair out of his face before stopping. He was only about fifty yards from Samus's front door. "What did Samus just say to me?" he thought.
Then it hit him, quite literally as he had turned around and walked straight into a pole. While he rubbed his dazed head, he remembered. She told him he loved him.
Huh. How about that.
Awwwww... short and sweet. Maybe I'll actually turn this into a legitimate one-shot. Hope you all enjoyed it and I'll see you for #15: Forever and a Day, with Miss Rosalina and Mr. Luigi. I love that pairing more than you think, and I'm starting to love Rosalina as a character since I've written her a lot. Bye you guys! Love you all!
