AN:
You're safe now. No more smut, I promise. Though intercourse is mentioned, no graphic depictions will happen. I am still not Nintendo.
This is it, the final chapter.
After I went to go to the bathroom like Impa said, I lay down next to him. He sleepily pulls me closer and kisses me sloppily. "I love you." The lights outside are bright. While today was the happiest day of our lives, for the kingdom it was an excuse to party. They've been celebrating since this morning.
"I love you, too." I rest my head on his broad, muscular chest. "We're married."
"We are." He grins.
"We're finally alone."
"Yes."
"We've waited almost a year for this."
"We have." He pushes my hair out of my face. "I keep feeling like someone's going to burst in and I'm going to be executed or something."
"That's something to think about on your wedding night."
"To be fair, I've been under threat of death for a while." True.
"Not anymore." He rolls over and hovers over me.
"Not anymore." He smirks and kisses me. His lips are soft and gentle. I cup his jaw in my hands, enjoying the tender love. I suddenly hear cheering.
"Wait, what time is it?" I sit up, pushing him off me, and look at the Sheikah Slate. "It's almost midnight." I start to get up and look for my robe.
"What? Why are you getting up?" He remains in bed.
"It's the Day of Falling Stars. I want to go watch." I throw his robe at him.
"Really? That's what you're thinking about right now?"
"Says the man who thought about his own execution. Now get dressed, someone may see us." He begrudgingly gets out of bed and dressed, following me to the balcony. At precisely midnight, the sky lights up with falling stars. All around us, streams of light fall from the sky. It's incredible to see. It's something I've seen twenty times now, but it never ceases to amaze me. Castle Town is filled with people cheering and having fun. They probably won't be done until the sun rises.
My husband, on the other hand, is very determined to go back to bed. He stands behind me, kissing my neck and shoulder. His attempts of distracting me are working.
"Stop it!" I whine, though I do also press my back more against his chest. "It will be over soon, I promise. Then we can return to bed."
"No." He takes his mouth away from skin just long enough to say a single syllable. His hands slip under my robe, and I'm a goner. He picks me up and carries me back inside the room.
We stay up most of the rest of the night, talking and um…enjoying our time alone. We collect the star fragment which fell onto our balcony. "It means that the goddesses approve of our marriage."
"Really?"
"Yes, it's the last fragment to fall. It's their way of telling us. My father still has the one from his wedding."
"How did anyone figure this out?"
"I don't know, it's been known for a long time. How do we know anything about the goddesses?"
"It makes an excellent lamp."
"You're terrible." I roll my eyes and put the glass case over it. "We're going to put it on the shelf."
"With the water?" After the ceremony, Hannah brought the bottle to our suite and placed it on the mantle. It's made of a special glass which keeps the water from evaporating, so it should last forever.
"Yes."
"We need another thing to put up there, so it's like symmetrical. For some reason I like things to be in odd numbers, especially three's."
"So do I. Um…the blanket? So it can be a shelf of stuff with our wedding?"
"Fine with me." I grab the blanket off of our couch and arrange the three items on the shelf. I left Link in bed. "Zelda!"
"I'm coming back." I roll my eyes and join him.
"Good." He pulls me closer to him, and I rest my head on his chest.
"What a perfectly happy ending to our terrible fairytale."
"Happy ending?" He turns to look at me. "I think this is our happy beginning."
