Morning After the Coronation

Zelda stood amidst the field of Silent Princesses, taking in the fresh scented air.

She understood that times like these would now be limited since her time would ultimately go towards the people and the overall well-being of Hyrule.

So much had happened in the last year. Mainly good things, and memories that she was so very grateful for. New found relationships and friendships that seemed to prove lifelong and endless.

She knew, with a crown atop her head, she had genuine friends that she could count on, and if advice was needed or she was in a time of need, they would come to her, or welcome her, however frequently, however broken, or however needed, they would be there for her and accept her.

A louder rustling other than the wind sounded behind her and she turned to face them.

Link paused, obviously not having expected her to notice his arrival. He smiled and then bent to one knee, he took the Master Sword from its scabbard and plunged it into the ground before him, before her. "My Queen." He addressed.

Zelda chuckled, "Put away the theatrics, Link." She turned away from him slowly, watching the grin spread on his face, cheeky, he thought he was so funny.

Zelda shook her head in amusement, closing her eyes to listen to the sound of the wind.

Arms snaked around her waist and pulled her close.

"My Love." He murmured and kissed her cheek then rested his head in the nook of her neck.

His breath was tickling her neck, but it was a comfort.

"We should tell everyone."

"Mm, when?"

"Tomorrow, in the square, by the fountain."

"As you wish."

"Liiiinnnkk."

He chuckled, "Anything for you."

She sighed and turned in his arms, wrapping her own around him and rested her head on his chest.

They sunk to the ground, Link's sword and shield as well as Zelda rapier clanking as they lay down in each other's arms.

It wasn't long before Zelda heard a low croakin the grass a few feet away. She sat up.

Link groggily sat up too, "What is it?"

"Shh."

He frowned but stayed quiet none the less crouching behind her as he watched her depict where the noise had come from with curiosity.

She gasped softly and lurched forward suddenly capturing the creature in her hands, "Now I know you said no, but that was a while ago, a hundred years ago to be exact, I'm hoping you've changed your mind, and since I'm Queen now, you might be more compelled to listen to my orders." She winked at him and he gulped wondering what she was up to.

She slowly took away her hand on top revealing a hot-footed frog croaking in her hand. Immediately Link recalled what she was talking about and groaned, falling sideways into the long grass again so that he was obscured from view.

Zelda laughed softly, containing her laughter so she wouldn't scare the frog.

The grass ruffled, and a moment later the spot Link had been was empty.

Zelda stood, confused as to where he had gone, the grass only just came up to her mid-thigh, so she should have been able to see him wherever he was, but the fact that she couldn't was very cheeky and mysterious. She couldn't even see where the grass split where ever he was.

She had to give it to Link, he was an expert at camouflage, years in the wild having taught him little tricks. Even being able to hide amongst women who were bloodthirsty for men who trespassed.

She heard a rustling all around her, nowhere was the noise stronger than another place, the wind and Link, if he was moving sounded the same it set her hair on end and butterflies fluttered in her stomach.

Warm air was suddenly blown into her ear making her jump as well as the frog which jumped out of her hands and she gasped, from both really.

She turned around as quickly as she could but Link was once again nowhere to be seen, "What the…" she whispered and heard a laugh that surrounded her. The wind had picked up again.

A minute later, someone pinched both sides of her waist making her squeal. Not someone Link.

And once again the wind picked up.

She looked around her, and it looked almost like there wasn't any wind around a certain area, which wasn't right, there was wind in thiscertain area like a gale of wind.

She looked up finally figuring it out just in time to see a figure obscured by the sun, plunge towards the ground above her as the wind died down.

She yelped and fell backwards into the grass.

Link thumped to the ground on his hands and knees above Zelda. She was thankful because his body blocked out the blinding sun.

His eyes blinked down at her, so incredibly blue… she reached out and traced a pattern around his eyes watching his eyes flutter open and then closed.

It felt delightfully calming.

"So that's a no?" Zelda murmured.

Link smiled. "No." he confirmed and leaned down further, hands on either side of her head legs on either side of her, pinning her to the ground but not enough that if she so wished she could push him off her.

However, she had no intention of doing so as his lips grazed hers softly, it felt like a butterfly's kiss, a flutter of wings, like he was so tentative about kissing her.

He barely had to pull away and Zelda's eyes were so beautifully green like the many forests he had explored and rode through, the ones that were alive with nature and animals, that provided comfort he could get lost in. He couldn't look away even as they were transfixed on him as well, sparkling.

"So beautiful." He breathed tilting his head to the side, her golden hair was splayed around her, a sun made of hair. Her pointed ears delicate and her cheek's natural blush.

Link gulped feeling an unwanted tightness bloom in his pants. He blinked away his trance and got to his feet, brushing invisible grass from his pants.

Zelda released a breath that she was holding and sat up looking at Link where his eyes that were once glistening and transfixed on her now looking into the distance as if he was willing away something.

She sighed and got to her feet, smoothing out her shirt.

Bidding away the slight pang of annoyance and willing away the look of irritation on her face.

But Link saw it and felt the loss that she did. He didn't want to push her, no matter how much he had grown to yearn for her, what had once been an inevitable yearn to be in her presence had turned into touching, kissing and wanting to explore more of her, both in personality and physically. One of which was hindered and could be seen as disrespectful and a selfish desire.

But he saw that she felt the same then and there. So, he improvised.

He reached out for her hand and walked over to the tree a few paces away bringing her with him.

He pulled her in front of him and braced her against the trunk not believing what he was doing.

Link pulled her close to him until they were touching at the hips and swept her into a passionate kiss. How bold, seductive and utterly intoxicating.

For the first time she felt he was opening up in a new way, there were no objections as she freed his hair and threaded her fingers through his now free strands, nor were there any as their tongues swept together passionately leaving a pleasant buzz in her core.

She heard him moan as she massaged his scalp and it sent her blood rushing, an undeniable ache blooming.

He pushed her further against the tree the bark digging into her back but she didn't care.

He pulled away slightly for air, and she gasped it in greedily, before crashing him to her once again. Pulling him closer than ever before, she felt his knee between her legs and how electrifying it was.

She felt a hardness to him that she hadn't dared to think about but that was undeniable in their close proximity and she unwillingly gasped.

His hands circled around her back and under her shirt sending shivers up her spine and she was gasping, needing more of him, more of them.

Someone cleared their throat from behind them. "Your Majesty." Immediately the spell was broken, and the heat of the moment gone with it, erasing any trace of the ache she had felt from wanting more.

Link's eyes were deep and dark as they drew away, there was a look in them that said he wasn't finished not by a long shot and she knew undoubtfully that hers said the same, and another that said he was well and truly pissed off at the person who had interrupted their limited snuggle-love time. At heart, Link really was a love-bug and cuddle-bug, the only people who knew and saw this was his close group of friends, and the only person who witnessed him like that in a new light, was Zelda, but this new fire that had awoken within them set her blazing with excitement.

"Or should I say Majesties." Riju joked making Link blush a deep crimson. "Sorry to interrupt, uh, whatever this was, but I do need to borrow Zelda."

Link grumbled but his hold on her relaxed, but she didn't move instead she rested her head against Link's chest arms limp at her sides humiliated from being caught, but still exhilarated from the experience.

She leaned up and kissed the base of his neck. Before reluctantly leaving their little haven.

She trailed after Riju who was grinning from ear to ear after having witnessed what she had just witnessed, making both Zelda and Link wonder how long she had been standing there. Zelda just knewthere was going to be a discussion about this later.

Link turned around sharply, "Have her back at 4, at the very least." He stared down Riju who looked at him questioningly. "I have something planned." He said finally, making Zelda grin widely and Link return it to her.

How exciting.

The two turned away again heading back toward the castle, Zelda grumbling all the way but looking forward to their plans they had discussed, to go into Castle Town and take part in the celebrations, under a disguise where nobody could recognise them as royalty or a hero.

"My apologies, I'm sure you would have loved if I hadn't interrupted, but you forgot about the meeting with the Lords and Ladies, didn't you?"

"I lost track of time." Zelda grumbled.

Riju smirked. "Mm, you were lost in Link, deeply. And he very clearly was with you. I did have an ulterior motive though."

Zelda blushed from her comment but glanced at her, curious for what she was going to say. "I know you wouldn't regret having sex, but so soon? You only just told each other you loved each other not so long ago."

Zelda's cheeks flamed. "Riju!"

She held her hands up in defence. "All I'm saying is I know you won't regret it, but I don't want you to regret it, do you understand what I'm saying? You are so lost in each other, its envious. But we don't want either of you to get so lost that you can't find your way back, and if something happens to either of you, so lost that you can't be found again. We want you to just be lost enough."

Zelda understood Riju, she would never push Link unless he was ready, and he the same. She knew they weren't ready for that kind of passion yet despite what they might think, physically, yes, they yearned for each other, both in body and spirit, yearned to be connected in no way they would be connected with anybody else. But mentally, they weren't. But just a little bit of lust, that was alright? That passion was so breathtaking, literally, that it set both ablaze with burning passion.

I think I did alright haha. Let me know! Hope you enjoyed, I certainly enjoyed writing this, so naturally I hope you all did too.
