Chapter 15
My first Slow Dance
"It's set!", exclaimed Zelda, walking into the room. "We have arranged to get married in a month!" She was smiling form ear to ear as she jump on the bed, making Link nearly fall off.
Laughing, he grabbed her tight, and pulled her into a kiss. She smirked, kissing him back.
Breaking from him, she got up from the bed, standing up straight. "I can't believe it!", she exclaimed. "I'm going to have a family.", she whispered.
"Not yet though.", Link assured. He wanted Zelda to himself for at least a while. "Once we have kids, I'll never get near you."
She laughed, jumping back on the bed. "There's no need to worry about that.", she whispered, now on top of him. She rested her head on his chest, enjoying his warmth.
Link's hands gently stroked her golden hair. She closed her eyes, imagining her whole life with Link. Living life together forever.
For a while, they just sat their in each others arms, not wanting to do anything else. Feeling his heartbeat made her want to stay even longer. "I love you so much.", she whispered.
He responded by kissing her forehead. It didn't need to be said. She knew well he loved her back. It was too good to be true. What would have become of her if she never ran away.
The both of them got up to take a walk. They decided a walk on the beach would be nice. Zelda had changed into one of her new sun dresses and a hat. The dress was cut shorter than normal so it only went up to her knees. Link had surprisingly took off his shirt and walked around with only his pants.
She loved to see him without a shirt on. He was so well built, she wondered how he did it. Never at all did she see him practicing swordsmanship like he said he always did.
Closing her eyes and holding Link's hand, she relaxed, focusing on the sand going between her toes. It was nice and warm. Something she hadn't experienced in a while. It reminded her of the beach of Lake Hylia.
She felt a tug on her hand. It was Link. She looked at him.
"Come on. Let's go swimming.", said Link excitedly. He tried to pull her towards the water's edge.
"Not in this, Link.", indicating her new dress.
"It'll make me happy.", he said.
He gave her puppy dog eyes. Still she shook her head no.
"Fine, then I guess I'll have to enjoy the water without you.", he said, turning and jumping into the water. He swam out further, looking back and making relaxed noises to tempt her.
Zelda sat down in the sand, arms crossed, and pretended to have as much fun as Link. She stretched out along the sand, letting the sun shine down. Her long legs showed from the shortness of her dress.
Without realizing it, Link had snuck up beside her, soaked. "I think you need a hug.", he whispered. Her eyes shot open as she attempted to get away.
Link was faster though. Before she could get up, he grabbed her, getting her as wet as he was. She playfully screamed, trying to escape from his grasp, but that only made him hold her tighter.
She was so distracted about getting away that she didn't see him moving closer towards the water. Before she knew it she was underwater with Link beside her.
Laughing as she was taking a breath of air, she hurriedly swam away from him, hoping that he would try and catch her. Sensing the game, Link swam after her.
She would have gotten away if it weren't for her dress dragging her down. Link had her in his arms as they swam towards a sandbar. They rested, slightly leaning back with their arms holding them up. She let her head fall onto his shoulder.
She sighed. "Okay, I'm going back to shore now." She lifted herself to swim. He grabbed her arm, not wanting her to leave.
"Please stay.", he pleaded. She shook her head.
"I'm hungry. I'm going to grab something to eat from the basket. I'll come back after that.", she said, breaking away from him.
Halfway to shore, fatigue suddenly swept over her. Finding it hard to stay above water, she took off her dress, then held it in her hand. Luckily she was wearing undergardments under it.
Still it was hard to swim. She started getting dizzy, when she realized what was happening. "Oh, not now.", she breathed. Without another word, she sank towards the bottom. She could hear faint yells of Link calling her.
"Impa, do I look alright?", she asked. The little princess was examining herself in front of a large mirror. Impa rolled her eyes, standing behind her.
"Tell me princess, must I say no, for you to be satisfied? You have been asking me all evening.", said Impa. "What is a girl your age thinking, caring about her looks?"
"I should be focusing on them at my age.", argued twelve year old Zelda.
"You don't even wear makeup yet.", replied Impa, rather amused.
Zelda ignored Impa's comment, and went back to inspecting herself. When she looked up, she could see a grin on Impa's face in the mirror.
"What?", she questioned defensively, turning to look her face to face.
"You are worried about your looks because of this boy.", said Impa.
Immediately, Zelda's cheeks turned red. "No!… I like to look good for myself.", she lied, but knew Impa could tell she was.
"Well either way, you need to be getting to the ball now. Everyone isn't going to wait all night.", said Impa, leaving the room.
Zelda took one last look at herself before leaving the room. She was wearing a sparkling light blue dress that hid her feet. Gold trims ended her sleeves and the bottom of the dress. She looked a few years older than just twelve. At least in her opinion.
Almost out of the room, she realized she forgot something. She ran back in to grab a teardrop necklace. The birthday present Link gave her earlier.
When she entered the ball room, all eyes went to her. The guest became quiet, waiting for her to take her place beside her father on the throne. Sitting down next to her father, the guest went back to dancing.
Her eyes scanned the crowd for Link. Where was he? Her gaze stopped suddenly, finding what she was looking for. In the far corner, Link was standing by a table a presents. He was looking towards the floor.
She smiled, getting up from her seat, and headed towards him. She was almost there when she bumped into someone. She looked up to see who it was only to frown at the sight.
"Why hello, princess.", the boy said, taking her hand and kissing it lightly. She tugged if from his grasp.
"Would you like something….prince?", asked Zelda, unsure what his name was. She had quickly forgot when Link had arrived. He was about to answer her when she cut in. "I'm afraid I must be taking my leave now." She walked past him without a second thought.
"Link.", she said, getting the blonde boy's attention. He looked up with a smile.
"Hey.", he said. He looked even better to her than normal. He was wearing a white dress tunic that she had the tailor make earlier.
"You look great tonight. See, I told you it would be okay.", said Zelda, indicating his outfit. He was so reluctant to earlier.
"Thanks. It's itchy though.", he complained. She laughed at that. Link was all about comfortableness.
"You'll get over it.", she teased. "How do I look?" She twirled around, showing him her dress. "You like?"
When she stopped, she looked at him. "Yeah, you look great! Much better than me.", he said. They both laughed at the comment.
In the background, music played. A slow song just came on. Zelda smiled. "Want to dance?", she asked.
Link shifted uncomfortably. "I don't dance.", he said. She giggled.
"Come on. Let's dance.", she urged, pulling his hand.
"No, Zel.", he said, pulling back.
"It'll make me happy.", she said, making her lower lip stick out. He laughed, and let her lead him onto the dance floor.
"Okay, what do I do now?", he asked, standing in front of her. Zelda boldly took his hand and placed it on her waist. She took the other one in her hand.
She was nervous. She never did this before, only saw others doing it. She slowly moved into a waltz.
Link was also nervous. What was he doing? "How do you know how to do this?", he asked amazed by her skill.
"I watch.", she replied with a smile. She rested her head against his chest like the other women were doing with their partners. She could hear his heart beating fast.
She smiled. "Oh, Link, relax.", she said, attempting to make the situation less uneasy. Even though she was trying to act calm, her heart was thumping as fast as his was.
In about the middle of the song, they both got used to it and felt better. Zelda looked up to him. He was about a head taller than her. "See, not so bad is it?"
"I guess not.", he replied.
She looked over at the throne, where her father and the prince where standing, staring daggers at Link. The expression of the young prince was anything but happy. His face was turning red with anger.
She gave him a sarcastic smile and turned back to Link. "Looks like you've made some new friends.", she joked, nodding over toward the prince.
"Guess so.", said Link grinning.
"No!", Zelda yelled, sitting upright. "It can't end there!" Her frustration grew. She turned pink, realizing Link was beside her.
They were sitting on the beach. Both were soaked.
"I thought you were taking something for this.", said Link. "You could've drowned."
"I guess it isn't working.", said Zelda, hoping he wouldn't catch the lie. He shrugged, lying down on the sand. She lied down with him, turning to look in his eyes.
He reached out a hand and stoked her cheek. "You scared me, Zel", he said. "You don't understand how scared I was."
"I'm sorry.", she whispered.
…."Navi. You said it wouldn't be long now.", an angry voice sounded.
"Get off your high horse will ya?… be patient. There will be an opportune moment to strike."
"It better be soon!", the man growled. "If not, I'll drop our deal, and you'll be on your own."
"You wouldn't."
"Believe me. I don't need you to do this job. You came to me, remember?"
"You need me as a distraction."
"Maybe I don't need a distraction. Tell me, Navi, do you think Link is just going to take you in this time? He's going to know it was you. He'll never speak to you again."
"…Then we can….do what I did years ago. We can give him that."
"It's not always that simple…."
I'll leave you with that.
