Chapter 5

Threats

Zelda woke up the next day in a abandoned room. Link had already left for breakfast, she guessed. She thought about last night. That was her first kiss, well, the first one that actually meant something.

He had kissed her before only out of lust. He wasn't sincere or anything. All he wanted was to get her to be his queen. That would never happen if Zelda had something to do with it.

"Why dread on such a thought when it will never happen again?", thought Zelda. "All that matters now is that I'm not a princess anymore, I'm just a normal person like everyone else." She sighed. That would never be true. Even if she denied it, she would forever and always have the bloodline of the royal family.

She stretched on top of the white sheets of the bed. It was such a nice feeling to wake up when you wanted to. She had no responsibilities now, and that's the way she wanted it to stay. She let out a fairly large yawn, and stretched once more, letting fresh air enter her lings.

In the corner of her eye, she saw that Navi was sitting on a shelf. She wasn't moving, just starring. Zelda could feel the fairies gaze upon her.

"What are you looking at?", she asked sourly. Slowly, Navi's white glow faded into a dark pink.

"I saw you last night…", she said in her lowest tone possible.

"What's your point?", she snapped.

"Stay away from Link. He's not right for you..", she said flatly. It was almost as if she was trying to scare Zelda.

"And just who is?", she asked.

"HE'S MINE!", yelled the fairy. Zelda was a bit shocked at this. A fairy falling in love with a Hylian? How funny the idea was.

"Just how do you think your going to stop me? Anyway, you're his guardian not his lover!", Zelda shouted.

In an instant, the fairy turned crimson. "If you don't, then I'll make sure something will happen to you."

"Is that a threat?!", she demanded.

"Oh, you think!?", screeched Navi.

"And just how is a little bug like you, going to do any damage to me whatsoever?", asked Zelda. She thought this was such a joke.

"You wait princess, you wait!", she yelled.

"That's it, I've had enough of this!", Zelda ran out of the door, and slammed it behind her. Zelda and Navi had been so loud that some people were peeking out of their doors to see what the commotion was about. Zelda recognized some of them to be from the restaurant last night. When they saw her, they simply shook their heads and went back into their rooms. She just rolled her eyes.

"I'd like to see you people hang around a fairy, and not start something.", she said to herself. Zelda thought of trying to find Link, so she went downstairs. She found him sitting down, eating waffles.

"Looks good.", she said. He looked up quickly. Link handed noticed her walk in. He smiled.

"Morning.", he said. "Sleep well?"

"Pretty good I guess. At least I didn't have to wake up early like I usually do in the castle."

"Why would you have to wake up early. You're a princess, you should do anything you want."

"You have no idea.", she grunted. "You always have to be meeting Dukes and Duchesses, and other important people. You never have your own time."

"Oh…", he said. "Well…. Err, you hungry?"

"Um…. Yeah actually.", she said, feeling her empty stomach.

Link offered some of his waffles, and Zelda took them willingly. She took a bite of the waffle and sighed.

"What's wrong?", he asked.

"Absolutely nothing! I love waffles! I haven't had one in years.", she said, taking in more.

"Are you serious? That's depressing.", he laughed.

"Tell me about it. I'm not allowed to eat them. The cooks said I have to keep my figure.", she said. "But, I can easily do that with a bit of exercise. I think they just want to deprive me."

Link snorted. "A deprived princess, huh?"

"Oh, please… You would hate it." At this time she was swallowing down large amount of the waffles.

"Maybe there was a good reason they didn't give you waffles.", he joked. Zelda noticed her unladylike manners, and slowed down. This made Link laugh even more.

When they had finished breakfast, Link suggested they take a walk to the bay. Zelda had gone to the marketplace before they went, so they would have something for lunch.

Zelda took in a large amount of air and sighed. She felt the suns warm rays on her skin.
"Isn't it such a nice day?", she asked.

"Yup", he replied.

A thought pooped into her mind. Were her and Link together? Was last night just a fling? Did he really like her. She got up the courage to ask him. "Link, do you like me?"

He was a little taken aback at the question. "Well, yeah…"

"No, I mean more as a friend…", she urged.

"Do you want me to be more as a friend?", he hinted. Zelda blushed slightly.

"You didn't answer my question. Do you like me?", she asked, trying to get away from his question.

Link blushed a little. She could tell it was true even if he denied it. "Well, kinda…"

She got a little annoyed. "Please tell me a strait answer. Was your kiss sincere last night or not?"

He sighed. No point of hiding it. "Yeah, I like you, Zel.", he said. "Now you answer my question."

"Well…..", she grinned. She didn't care that she knew this guy for only three days, she totally liked him. "I don't know…", she teased.

"Com'n , I had to answer your question.", he urged.

"Well, what do you think?", she played. They had just entered the beach and her feet were burning due to the hot sand. She wanted to yell out so bad, and run to the water, but she wanted to know what he would say. She bit her lip to hold it in.

"No one knows what you think.", he joked. She responded by hitting him playfully.

"Shut up!", she laughed. "It's not like guys are really easy to figure out either."

"I didn't say girls were hard to figure out, I said you were.", he grinned.

"Well, maybe someday, you'll be the first to figure me out.", she said, and left the conversation at that.

They set up the blankets and laid down some food. It took longer than she had thought it would to get there.

Overall the day was fun. They had gone swimming, ate lunch, and relaxed. It was paradise to Zelda. She almost forgot she was a princess, and thought herself as a normal girl.

Link and Zelda sat together watching the sunset. The beach was abandoned now, everyone had left for dinner. The people seemed happy to see that Zelda wasn't coming along to eat.

Zelda had absentmindedly rested her head on Link's shoulder. He didn't seem to mind at all though. "Isn't such a breathtaking site?", she breathed.

"Yeah…."

It was getting a little cold. Zelda shivered. At that, Link put an arm around her to give her warmth.

She looked up into his eyes. How beautiful they were. Deep sea of blue. She could stare into them forever.

"Let's make a promise… You and me, let's just be honest.", she said, breaking the silence. "I like you a lot Link. I know you like me back."

"Your right…", he sighed. "So…. Does this mean we're together?"

She laughed. "Your so romantic", she joked.

"I can show you romantic if you want.", he said.

"Really?"

"Really, really.", he said, finishing with lifting her head slowly to his lips until the touched. Again the feeling of heaven, Zelda felt.

'okay, he really is romantic.', she thought, as he was holding her.

He slowly broke apart to her. She couldn't help but smile.

"What do you think?", he asked, grinning.

"Very romantic…", she said, leaning in asking for more…

From a high hill, two watched the couple. Together they watched as the pair cuddled the night away.

If you have ever heard the song: Not goanna get us, well one of the lines are from that. I thought it would be a cute phrase to use. So in case I get convicted of anything…. I do NOT own the damn song, okay?
