A/N:

Ah, yes, another piece of fluff for you guys. I just can't stop writing it. In other news… I just bought my first manga today! OMG!!!!!! Took me about three years to get the courage to do it…. (don't ask…) I got the first three Rurouni Kenshin, and I really want get Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, Inuyasha, Love Hina, etc etc. If any of you guys want to recommend some to me, feel free! Yes I AM SUCH A LOSER!!!!!!! MWHAHAHA!

Disclaimer: If there were a list of things that would qualify someone as a "nerd", then I think I would probably fit every item. Except I don't wear glasses and high-water pants and have my underwear sticking out all the time /w a tag that has my name on it. And what does this have to do with a disclaimer, might you ask? I don't know! IT DOESN'T OK??? Sheesh. (I don't own Zelda, too…boooooo).

A Rainy Proposal

Genre of Romance: General

Rating: G BEWARE OF FLUFFINESS! MWHAHAHA

It had been a sunny day earlier, but the gray clouds had traveled in quickly and soon covered the sky with their dreary color. This, however, certainly did not stop nor dampen Zelda and Link's already planned outing. If it rained, it rained. It wasn't so hard to take shelter under a nearby tree for a moment, for Goddesses' sake.


They walked hand-in-hand across the Hyrule Castle's expansive grounds to the more rural, outlying areas. It was silent except for the chirping of birds and the sound of their breathing. Eventually finding a suitable spot to sit down, Link laid his head in Zelda's lap and played with the little bit of her hair that dangled in front of his face. Her strawberry locks had gotten quite long as of late.

"Zelda," Link said quietly, looking up at her merry blue eyes.

"Hmmm?" She began twisting a piece of his own hair in her pale fingers while she traced his nose with her other hand. "What, Link?" Her voice was soft and melodious.

Reaching up and taking her hand, he kissed it. "I love you."

Zelda smiled happily, her cheeks a bright, rosy color. "I love you, too," she replied, kissing his forehead.

Continuing to hold onto her hand, Link sat up and faced her. He took his other, unoccupied hand and cupped her face; she leaned into it. Bending toward her, he kissed her soft lips, and she responded equally. As it was beginning to deepen, Zelda pulled away, her eyes gleaming. "Not too much," she whispered in a low voice. "You must be patient, my love."

Link grinned. "Brat," he replied. With a mock huff, he lay down onto the warm grass and stared up at the sky. It was almost completely gray, now. "Looks like it's going to rain," he added.

Zelda curled up against him. "I like it when it rains. It's soothing, for some reason."

Silence ensued for a little while as the pair simply stared up at the clouds. Eventually, Link spoke. "Zelda, I'd like to ask you something," he said quietly, his voice uncharacteristically unsure.

"All right. Ask away." As Link was about to reply, a rain droplet fell on Zelda's nose. Soon, more droplets fell until it really was raining. In a couple of seconds, it was pouring.

Zelda and Link jumped up and sprinted to the nearest cover, already wet. When they finally reached the trees, they were soaked. Zelda shivered a little. "Well, I guess your prediction was correct," she said, laughing.

"I suppose so."

They watched the rain for a little while as it covered the land of Hyrule. It made a soft, calming sound and made the surrounding earth smell sweet and fresh. The pitter patter of the droplets, although monotonous, seemed to signal the cleansing of the land, as if ridding it of anything tainted or unclean. Eventually, Zelda turned to Link with a smile. "What did you want to ask me, Link?"

He unconsciously rubbed the back of his neck. "Oh, yes, that. Umm…" He coughed slightly, as if embarrassed. Reaching into his pant's pocket, he eventually went down on one knee. "Zelda? Will…will you marry me?" His face was earnest and anxious.

Zelda gasped, her eyes widened to the size of saucers. "Yes, yes, of course," she murmured. When Link slipped a ring onto her finger, she squealed in delight. "LINK!" she cried, throwing her arms around him, causing him to fall over into the muddied ground. "I can't believe it! I thought you'd never ask!"

Link began to laugh at her joy and his own. "I'm so glad," he whispered. Zelda instantly began kissing him, and he did the same. He held her so close that he could feel her heartbeat against his chest. Her hands curled around his neck.

"I love you, Link. I love you so much," Zelda murmured between kisses.

Suddenly picking her up, Link spun Zelda around in the air, under the raining sky. They were soon freshly wet, but they didn't mind. It only added to the beauty of their special moment together, finally as fiancées. The rain eventually stopped as quickly as it had begun, and the clouds dispersed to show the warm sun.

"I think I've told you this before, but I'll say it again: I love you, Zelda."

"And I, you, Link. I will love you until the end of time."

As they simply embraced and Link kissed her hair, Zelda knew that this had been one of the most splendid days of her life. She would always remember how she was proposed to while the rain poured on around them, like a hidden blessing from the Goddesses themselves.

Ah, yes, fluffy. I know. Not my best, but oh well. Anyway… so that means you gotta review to tell me how great it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEY!!!!!
