Zelda sat on her throne. A dark haired man came up to her, plucked a kiss on her cheek, and walked out, calling his goodbyes to her. She sighed. A servant hurried to her chair, and knelt, bowing his head.
"Excuse me, your highness, but the Hero of Time is at the door. He wishes to speak to you," informed the young man.
The queen-to-be's eyes widened in panic, "Um... er... yes, let him in in a moment..." She tried to ready herself for his reaction. News of her new engagement had only just made it out to the papers. A few minutes later, the green clad warrior walked in, smiling. "Uh, well, hello there..." she tried to sound nonchalant.
"I just came to say congratulations," announced Link, his voice not carrying a single ounce of worry or agony.
"You-You're not mad?"
"Why would I be? Well, I wish that you would have chosen someone other than Prince Charlo I-Too-Good-For-Anyone-But-Royalty."
"So... you're not hurt at all?"
"I'm slightly hurt that you didn't tell me first." He shrugged.
"That's it?"
"Pretty much..."
Zelda stood up, approaching him slowly. Her eyes were filled with sadness, but it was new sorrow. At first, she'd fretted over how much she would scold her, how much he would be hurting. Now, she hated seeing him so cool and happy. He seemed as though nothing had ever happened between them.
She reached out to touch his face, "So, you're not missing anything?" Her eyes bored into his. "You're not missing this?" Both of her hands rested on his cheeks. "Or this?" She pulled her face closer to his, watching how his breath shortened.
He pulled away. "Why do you do this to me?" Link growled, "As soon as I think I'm okay, you tease me, you pull me back in. Why?"
Zelda looked to the floor, a few tears falling from her eyes. She had no answer for him, nothing to offer. "I... You..." He turned from her, fists clenched.
"Have a happy marriage. Long live Queen Bitch."
Whoo! Go Link! Man Power! Haha! I love this one! Did you know that the creators of The Legend of Zelda first thought about naming Link... Charlo? I thought I'd bring in Charlo for those of you who knew that :)
