Disclaimer: Me no own Zelda.

A/N: Wow! I see a lot of Zelink fans are reading my story. That's good and all because I personally am a Zelink fan as well, but be warned, I am also a Malink fan. Really I like any pairing that consists of Link and a girl who isn't a really stupid Mary Sue because nobody likes Mary Sues. So let's see how this story goes, shall we? Heh heh. Oh yeah, and just as a general warning, there's a bit of the lime-myness later on in this chappie, so be on the look out for that. Hee hee.

(And for all those who don't know what that means, it means some slight sexual content. Nothing serious, I promise!)

Chapter 5

Malon was quiet for the rest of the week. Link figured she was either planning something…or she was having her period. He decided it must be the latter, since he didn't care enough to wonder what she would be planning.

It was Friday, after school, and the three friends were sitting on the school steps in front of the main entrance to the high school building. Link turned to Sheik. "You gonna walk home with Malon, Sheik?" he asked. His cousin shrugged in reply. "I suppose so. Malon, you think you can make it?" he asked her.

Malon didn't reply, causing both boys to look at her. Link squeezed her thigh from his seat on the step below her. She yelped in surprise and swatted his hand away. "Hey, Mal. You're not all here; you haven't been all week. What's the matter?" Link asked, concern evident in his eyes.

She stuttered over her words. "Is something going on at home?" Sheik added, equally concerned. Malon looked down at her knees, shaking her head. "No. Everything's fine…" she replied quietly. Link crossed his arms over his chest. "That doesn't sound very convincing…"

He stood up abruptly. "Oh! There's Zelda! See ya guys!" Link dashed down the stairs and walked with the stunning blond to his car. Malon and Sheik watched as he drove off. Sheik sighed, standing up and stretching out his arms. He hefted his bag onto his shoulder and glanced down at his red-haired friend.

"Ready to go, Malon?" he asked. She stood as well, smiling slightly. "Yeah. Can we go to your place first?"

"So when it's 'x' plus one by 'x' minus one, then the middle terms cancel, giving you 'x' squared minus one, which is the difference of two squares," Link explained, writing rapidly on the paper for Zelda to see. Personally, Link liked math because the only thinking it required was counting, and that was simple enough. (A/N: I love Algebra!)

Unbeknownst to him, Zelda hadn't been paying attention to anything he has just said. Too busy was she staring longingly at him. "Do you get it now?" Link asked, looking up to see her staring at his face. "Um…" Link licked his lips nervously. "Uh…is there something on my face…?"

She sighed and giggled softly, tracing a line from his cheek down to his jaw. "It's a bit crowded here, don't you think?" she said rhetorically. Link's eyes darted around the nearly barren library and he licked his lips again. "Well…" he began.

"How bout we head over to my house? I'll be able to concentrate better there," she said, raising her eyebrows invitingly. Link took the bait, agreeing, and they gathered their things and headed back to Link's car.

After opening Zelda's door for her and then settling down in the driver's seat, a sudden realization came over him. "He turned nervously to the blond beauty beside him. "Um, Zelda? I don't know where your house is…" Zelda chuckled, patting his knee. "Oh, don't worry about that! I can give you directions," she assured.

Link visibly relaxed. "Oh, ok."

Malon stared out the window of Sheik's apartment, deep in thought. So deep in thought was she that she nearly jumped out of her skin when Link's cousin placed a comforting hand upon her shoulder. The pretty red head turned slightly to look at him. She smiled lightly then returned to staring out the window.

"Worried about Link?" he asked finally after nearly five minutes of silence. He felt her tense beneath his hand.

"Why would I be worried about him? He's on a date with the most popular girl in school!" she snapped in reply. Sheik withdrew his hand from her shoulder. "Sounds to me like you're concerned…" Sheik trailed off when Malon spun around, blue eyes ablaze.

"Why would I be concerned about that jerk?" she nearly shrieked.

Sheik sighed, turning around and seating himself on his couch. "Fine. So you're not concerned. Sorry for asking," he snapped curtly.

Malon wrung her hands together. "I'm…sorry Sheik," she mumbled. He waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry about it," he mumbled in reply. Malon grabbed her purse and bookbag. "Hey, I'll see you tomorrow, Sheik. Will you be online tonight?" Sheik nodded mutely. The red-haired teen pulled her shoes on. "Alright, I'll IM you later then. Bye!"

She closed the door firmly behind her. Sheik sighed, rubbing his temples. "Yeah…don't worry about my feelings…" he muttered to himself.

Link drove up the long driveway, staring in awe at the large mansion that loomed up ahead. He parked the car in the garage that looked to be nearly the size of his whole house, and allowed Zelda to lead him inside. Immediately, several maids arrived to relieve them of their jackets, shoes, and bookbags.

"Uh, wait!" Link cried when they disappeared just as quickly as they had come. He turned to Zelda. "How are we supposed to study without our books?" She raised an eyebrow, as if he just didn't get the punch line of a really simple joke. "I have some books in my room," she replied, perhaps only to appease his worries, and seized him by the wrist, tugging him towards the steps.

Link blushed to the very ends of his ears. "Y-you're b-bedroom?" he repeated, stuttering over his words. She giggled, batting her eyelashes playfully at him. "Of course! Haven't you ever been in a girl's room before, Link?" He shivered when his name rolled off of her tongue so seductively.

To relieve himself of the intensely awkward moment, he decided to crack a joke. "I've been in my thirteen-year-old sister's room before!"

Zelda laughed lightly, clutching his arm against her chest. "You're funny," she said. Link swallowed around a huge lump that had formed in his throat. 'Oh, Farore, what am I getting myself into?'

Zelda's room seemed to have a pink and white theme going on. The carpet was hot pink with a white rug at the doorway and at the foot of her bed. The walls and ceiling were painted a light pink with a white stripe across the middle. The bed sheets were a hot pink with pink and white pillows and a white canopy.

Zelda sat down on the foot of her bed and crossed her legs. She smoothed down the pink fabric then patted the bed beside her. "Come sit by me, Link," she said, her eyes narrowed slightly. It was almost as if all the moisture had traveled from Link's mouth and found new residence in his hands. He tried to swallow and found his tongue too parched to rejuvenate his dried up throat and his hands were too slippery to make a fist.

"Um…ok!" he finally replied, and winced at the extremely dorky high pitch.

His legs moved without his brain's consent and he found himself sitting at Zelda's side. She uncrossed her legs, and then slowly re-crossed them. During this exchange, her thigh brushed against his. A shock of electricity shot up his spine and sent tingles all throughout his body.

She leaned toward him, smiling. Link was growing more and more nervous by the second as he shifted the position of his leg. "So, um…when are gonna hit those books?" he asked. Zelda giggled and placed a hand on his thigh. "We don't need books for this kind of studying," she replied suggestively.

Link blushed a favorable pink. "Oh!" he said, widening his eyes slightly. Zelda flipped her hair back and smirked at him, pleased that he had finally gotten her point. "So, shall we start the lesson?" she pushed. Link rolled his eyes in his mind. 'Yeah, as soon as we stop with these lame puns,' he thought, just as Zelda pressed her lips firmly to his own.

One second Link was in Zelda Hyrule's bedroom, sitting on her bed; the next second he was falling through a never-ending vortex of pure bliss. Well, never-ending until she pulled away, which he was going to delay for as long as possible.

Her lips were unimaginably soft and whatever lip gloss she was wearing tasted pretty sweet, he noted in the back of his mind. Link would have to say that this was his first kiss so he wasn't entirely sure what to do next. Luckily, Zelda was more experienced in that department, sloping her head to the side and parting her lips slightly for better access, or that's what he assumed.

'Better access for what?' he thought to himself, before he felt her tongue snake out of her mouth and into his. "Whoa!" he would've said, had his mouth not been occupied at the time. Instead, it sounded more like, "Mmmph!" He felt her hands guide his arms to enclose her in an embrace that he also didn't intend on breaking any time soon.

His heart was racing and he was jealous to notice that, in his position of he and her pressed firmly together, that hers was beating at a normal, calm pace. The inexperienced blond attempted to slow his heart rate, only to have his handy work undone by her pulling him down so she lay beneath him on the bed sheets. Her arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him down, crushing their lips harder together.

Her tongue probing the inside of his mouth felt like someone poking at the most sensitive parts of his brain, and he seriously felt like he was going to pass out from all the pleasantries of this afternoon. But just as quickly as she had inserted that soft pink organ (A/N: I guess it's an organ. Isn't it?), it was gone and she was smiling up at him. She ran her fingers fondly through his soft golden locks. Her own hair was messily splayed across the sheets, almost like a golden blanket she had laid her head upon.

"Well, wasn't that nice for a first time?" she asked, a little breathy, as they sat up. 'First time? You make it sound like we did something more…' Link blushed, trying to get the dirty images out of his head. But he had to admit, that was pretty "exhilarating" for his first "make-out session".

Zelda smoothed out the wrinkles that had been formed in her skirt. "Hey, I'm having a party next weekend while my parents are out of town," she began. She batted her eyes at him. "Wanna come?" Link's eyes widened slightly, having been still in the process of recovering from the happenings of just a few minutes earlier. "Uh…sure…" he replied uncertainly. He didn't know how to feel about a party that Zelda Hyrule would be hosting. Obviously lots of popular people would be there and he'd just feel like an idiot and end up doing something stupid and looking even more like an idiot and-

"Good. There's going to be plenty of people there, so you can mingle and I'll introduce you to some friends of mine." Link opened his mouth, having suddenly thought of his own friends (for the first time the entire time he had been in Zelda's presence) but she cut him off, already assuming what he was going to ask. "Oh, and you can bring some people too if you want." She smiled when he looked pleased.

"Um, so what time is it starting?" Link asked, shifting in his seat so he was facing her. She shrugged lightly. "I guess six or something. But don't be a dork and arrive really early," she rolled her eyes, "That's really not cool." Link averted his eyes, because at that exact moment she had said that he had been planning on arriving around 5:45. "Heh, yeah! Who does that?" he laughed nervously, with his hand on the back of his head.

She smiled at him again then patted his knee. "See you there then?" Link nodded. "Definitely."
