Author's Note: This is taken place 1 year after Link defeated Ganondorf and he is 18 while Princess Zelda is 17. Please R&R because this is my first fan-fic and I would enjoy your feedback! Please no flames though!

Disclaimer: Also, I don't own Zelda etc, etc, blah, blah, so don't sue me ok? And, I've added some new characters later in the story.

5. Crazy Boy

There he was, shaking the bars and yelling. Honestly, he could have easily snuck in but no, he had to create a big commotion. Oh well, he got me away from my father. I guess that I might as well let him in. I walked up to the post guard and asked for the keys.

"Your Highness! You are going to let this piece of vermin into our walls? Your father won't be pleased." He pleaded. Reluctantly giving me the keys, he marched off for a coffee break. I twisted the keys and opened the gate. Link strode onto the path without looking at me until I had locked the gate again. His forest green eyes made contact again and I just couldn't stand it, I quickly glanced away. He shuffled his feet uncomfortably and stared at the ground. The sun was setting and it was getting pretty chilly. He noticed me shivering and placed one arm over my shoulder and started to walk towards the castle barn. There was mostly silence until we both apologized at the same time.

"Look Zel, I'm sorry. It was none of my business of what you did in Terminia and I kind of blew like the wind. Please except my apology." His deep, gentle tone made me shiver even more, not of coldness but of giddiness. His voice is so soft and is like a lullaby sometimes. It can also be fierce and frightening.

"No, it's my fault. I should have told you instead of wrapping myself into my own ego. You have every right to be worried, you're my best friend!" I sighed.

"Umm, since that I haven't been really friendly when you've needed a friend the most, can I make it up to you? At least a ride?" I could hear a more serious tone rather then his usual childish, playful tone. Why wouldn't I accept?

We rode across Hyrule Field under the stars until we reached a clear meadow in the Lost Woods. Link dismounted then helped me off. We walked and talked about what was new and when I had finished about Daniel, Link stared at the ground again.

"Link, whats wrong? Was it something I said?" Why was he acting this way? He has never been shy or silent ever since I met him.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that you will probably get married to some Prince and we won't be able to see eachother again. I'd miss you."

"If you think that I'm going to marry Daniel, you are on a different train of thought. I don't want to marry some fancy Prince who doesn't care about me or the country, just power. I only know one person who would actually understand me and watch over the country."

"I bet its some rich guy right?" Link exclaimed glumly.

"No, in fact, he isn't rich. He is a sweet, kind and gentle man who knows when to have fun and when to be serious. His name is…" Link looked away, as if saddened about my answer… maybe he doesn't feel the same way, maybe I was wrong…

I cleared my throat and started were I had left off. "His name is Link."

He glanced up at me with surprise and the sadness left his eyes, replaced with joy.

"You really… think that?" It looked like he was about to cry.

"I'm sorry if you don't feel the same way." I stared at my feet, embarrassed. Why would he care about me? He earned his title while I was just born into mine. He does like Malon, I was right.

Before I could continue cursing myself, Link leaned closer and then his lips brushed mine, pulling me into his passionate embrace. I had never felt anything like this but I wasn't going to stop him. I snaked my arms around his neck to flick his cap away and ran my fingers through his golden hair. He pulled me from the waist and lifted me up, still kissing and set me down on the ground. The seconds slowly passed and I finally pulled away. His eyes were staring into mine again, giving me butterflies.

"Even when you were far away, you were on my mind night and day." He spoke breathlessly at last, breaking the silence.

I was fascinated by his words! I never knew that he could be so poetic! This is surely a new side of Link I need to explore.

Yup, this is the lastest chappy! Since that it was really, really, REALLY short, i need ideas for what should happen next! PLEASE R&R!
