*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Link woke up to a small kiss on his cheek. He stirred, then turned and saw Zelda right in front of him. "Hi," he whispered.
Zelda smiled. She kissed him again. "I love you," she said randomly. "So much."
Grinning, Link kissed her ear. "Ditto."
Sighing with happiness, Zelda stretched and got out of the bed. She skipped over to the windows and wrenched the curtains open.
"Woah, that light's really bright!" Link commented, covering his eyes with his hands.
"Is it all right if I open the window?" Zelda asked. Before Link had a chance to answer, Zelda opened the window as wide as it would go. She took a deep breath, inhaling the New York City smell, then screamed at the top of her lungs.
His heart beating rapidly, Link jumped to her side. "Zelda, what is it?!"
"Nothing," she said, turning to him in surprise. "I scream sometimes in the morning to air out my lungs. All part of the routine." She screamed loudly again. "Ah, that feels much better. Sorry if that annoys you. I'll try to do it less."
"Thanks," Link said, walking into the kitchen. He saw their cat, Terri, sitting on the counter. He scratched her between the ears. "Morning, Terri."
"What d'you want to eat?" Zelda yawned, following her husband's stride into the kitchen. "I feel too lazy to cook anything."
"Then I'll make something," Link volunteered.
"YOU?!" Zelda snickered. "Don't make me laugh. You've probably never cooked in your life."
"Ah, that's where you're wrong, my dear," Link said, grinning. "I survived on my own cooking for four years in college."
"I thought you told me that you lived on canned soup and frozen waffles all those years," Zelda said.
"Just get out the maple syrup, will you, honey?" Link asked, taking a box of Ego-waffles out of the freezer.
Laughing, Zelda opened a cabinet and took out the syrup. While Link's back was turned, she opened the bottle and squirted some of it onto the back of his neck. He reached a hand back, then turned around, grinning.
"What was that for?" he inquired, not succeeding to keep a straight face.
"For being you!" Zelda laughed. She squirted more of the drippy, gooey maple syrup on top of him.
"Well your feeling is mutual!" Link said, snatching a tube of mustard out of the refrigerator. "On guard!"
Laughing hysterically, Zelda leapt on top of Link, shoving him into the wall. She poured maple syrup down the front of his shirt. He pushed her into a cushiony kitchen chair, laughing just about as hard as her.
"I'll get you for that!" he cried.
"You'll have to catch me first!" she teased, running to the opposite side of the room. "And that'll be tougher than it sounds!"
Terri watched on blankly as her owners ran about the kitchen like small children, enjoying their food fight. 'Stupid humans,' she thought to herself. 'Eventually, they'll be sorry they used up all that perfectly good maple syrup and mustard.' Terri looked hungrily at the food that was splattered all over the kitchen paneling.
"Phew, I think that's enough for now," Link decided, panting. "Terri, please help yourself to the remains."
Meowing joyfully, Terri skittered about the kitchen, licking up the spare syrup and mustard that was everywhere. Zelda laughed, opening a bag of cat food. She walked over to Terri's food bowl.
"Great job," she giggled. "Now she'll never eat MeowMix again!" (A/N: that's another thing I don't own).
Link put his arms around her. "Well, at least we enjoyed ourselves."
Zelda reached up and kissed Link briefly--quickly, but not without passion. "I love you," she laughed.
Grinning, Link cuddled her closer. "Ditto."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You know Link, I believe that you can be quite weird sometimes," Zelda said, as they walked hand in hand down a dark avenue at night.
"Thanks for being so honest," Link laughed. "Was there a reason for that completely random question?"
"Kind of," Zelda giggled, moving closer to Link in the cold night air. "I was just thinking about something. . ."
"What? About how unnaturally WEIRD I am?"
"No. It's just that. . .you've never said that you love me."
Link was quite taken aback. "What're you talking about, Zel?! Of COURSE I've said that I love you! Don't be ridiculous!"
"It's true!" Zelda insisted. "You've never said those exact words to me! I'M always the one saying 'I love you' to you! You always say 'ditto.' Not that I don't like that word, but it can get a little frustrating sometimes."
"Sorry," Link said. "But that just seems like such an old phrase to me. Why say it when 'ditto' takes about three seconds less to say?"
"Wow," Zelda said sarcastically. "I feel so appreciated."
"It's nothing personal!" Link said. "It's just that. . .I don't know. Y'know, I just don't really ever feel comfortable actually saying those three words. . .together in a sentence like that. . ."
Zelda sighed and smiled at the same time. "It's okay. I just find it a little out of the ordinary, you know?"
"Okay," Link laughed. "You've got me. Do you--"
"TAKE IT OUT."
Link and Zelda looked up quickly. A red-headed man had a gun pointed at Link's chest. The two newlyweds backed up slightly, nervousness flowing all over them. Instinctively, Link stepped in front of Zelda.
"What d'you want?" he asked.
"Your wallet, you idiot," the man answered. "Give it to me. NOW. Take it out of your pocket and give it to me!"
Slowly, Link reached into his jacket pocket to get his wallet. As he brought his hand out from his jacket even slowler, he tried desperately of a way to get out of this whole mess.
"Hurry up!" the man snarled. He shot the gun, causing the bullet to fly into Link's right shoulder. Zelda screamed as Link stooped a bit, trying to recover the pain. "Now are you going to give me that wallet, or am I going to have to take it out of your dead, clammy hands?!"
"Zelda, get out of here!" Link warned, stepping closer to the man.
"No! I'm not going to leave you here!"
"GO, Zelda! The man has a gun!"
"And I'm going to USE IT if I don't see some wallet-retrieving here!" the man yelled, moving closer to Link. "Take it out, you coward!"
Link punched the man in his face. The criminal was sent skidding across the ground, his gun knocked loose from his hand. He sat up, wriggling his jaw. Link leapt on top of him, wrestling him to the ground. A horrid fist fight followed.
Zelda backed up against a wall. "Help!" she cried out to anyone who could hear her. "Somebody help us! Please, help!" The fight going on between the criminal and her husband was so intense, she dared not step too close, in fear of being dragged into it and only making matters worse. Slowly, she started to walk towards a phone booth.
"Get away from the phone!" she heard the man shout. Several gun shots followed. Zelda whipped around and screamed.
The red-headed man was running away as fast as he could, Link hot in pursuit. The robber had managed to steal the wallet, which had almost all of Link's money in it. Darkness seemed to be taking the man's side tonight-- it swallowed him up, and soon he was no where to be found.
Zelda walked down the alley in fear. She collapsed to the dirty ground, screaming again, but softer this time.
'Now what am I gonna do?!' Link thought with frustration, looking down all the possible streets that the burglar could've escaped down. His breathing was too loud to be able to hear the man's footsteps, and it was much too dark for him to see anything. Feeling quite defeated, Link threw a rock as hard as he could down one of the alleys.
Exhausted, Link turned around to get back to Zelda. He heard loud groans, but couldn't make out what they were saying. "ZELDA!" he shouted. Link flew back down the alley. "ZELDA, are you--" He stopped dead in his tracks.
Zelda's back was to him. "Somebody help!" she shouted into the cold, empty night. "PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP US! HELP!"
In her arms, Zelda cradled Link's body. His dead body. "How is that possible?!" he shouted, running to his wife. "Zel, what's going on?! I don't--" Trying to grab onto Zelda, Link's arms went right through her.
"HELP, SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP US!!" Zelda screamed, clutching onto Link's lifeless body. "HELP!!"
Lights finally turned on in some nearby apartment rooms. Zelda's screams for help had roused them from their sleep, and they quickly put on coats over their night clothes to see what was the matter. People came running out of their doors, looking terrified at the sight before him..
"What happened to him?!" someone asked.
"Who did it?!" questioned another.
"Link, don't leave me!" Zelda whispered, hugging Link closer to her body. Tears cascaded down her face. "I need you; please don't leave me!"
"Zelda, I'm right here!" Link shouted in desperation. "How can you be holding me right there when I'm right here!? What's going on?!"
"What happened?" asked a cop.
"Sir, I don't know!" Link cried desperatly, turning to the officer. "We were just walking down the street when--augh!!"
The police officer walked right through him. "HELP!" Link shouted. Everyone rushed right past him (and some through him) to get to his weeping wife. Then Link was hit with a sudden realization: he was a ghost.
