A/N
Damn, it's been a long time since I've put anything up on FF.net.
This isn't too long right now but it will get longer later. I decided to set this a few years after OoT, Link is 25, so are Malon and Zelda. Ruto is 24. This is basically about Ruto's obsession with Link that goes to far. I might have to change the rating in later chapters, not for sex but for violence, although I might not have to change it.

Object of My Obsession
By Phantomon

Ruto could not stop thinking about Link. She knew it was true love since the day he became her fiancé. Ruto was obsessed with everything Link. She could not stop talking about Link, she drew Link, and she even had a shrine dedicated to Link. She had to be with her Link.

There were many things preventing their union. The first being the fact that she and Link were different species. She was Ruto and he was Hylian. The second being that Link was married to Malon. Ruto knew this and hated it. She would, and could go to any lengths to destroy their marriage and take Link for herself. Although this would be next to impossible to do. Link and Malon were dedicated to each other and they had three young children.

Ruto frequently went to Lon Lon Ranch with the royal Zora messenger to deliver messages or to order milk. Whenever she went she would look for Link. If he was there she would talk to him forever which annoyed Malon. Fortunately for Malon, Link was usually away doing business at Hyrule Castle. When Ruto learnt that he was away she would leave the ranch in a horrible mood and her mood would be sour for the rest of the day. One time it lasted for 3 weeks.

Ruto never did go up to Hyrule Castle herself. She thought of Princess Zelda as competition. Ruto had it in her mind that Zelda wanted Link. She was right to an extent. Zelda had a crush on Link for some time and probably still did but Link never had strong feelings for her. They tried to start a relationship together but with Link having to help out villagers with their problems and Zelda having to rule Hyrule they just decided that a relationship would be too hard and that they should just stay good friends. Link then went back to Lon Lon Ranch and realized that Malon was just right for him.

Zelda didn't get married after Link left and she decided to dedicate herself to her country and rebuild it after Ganondorf's tyrannical reign. Ruto didn't realize this at all because she was so obsessed with Link.

It was the New Year's Day holiday in Hyrule. Link and Malon had went to Hyrule Castle Town with their children to celebrate the holiday with Malon's aunt and uncle who owned a small inn and tavern. Malon and her children were still asleep but Link wanted to go outside for a walk.

There was a light layer of snow on the cobblestone walkways and the sun was just rising. Link had a new blue tunic on that he got as a present from Malon. Link walked down to the drawbridge and past the moat. He walked all the way to the bridge near Kakariko village and stopped to rest. "My, it sure is cold today," he said to himself.

"I know," replied a female voice.

"Who is there," asked Link.

Ruto crept out from behind the side of the bridge. "Ruto!" Link yelled, "What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in ages!"

"I know! I've missed you Link."

"Same here, we really have to talk."

"I know, I'd like to know what you've been up to during this holiday."

Then there was an awkward silence. Ruto thought it was strange that Link was so surprised. How long had it been since they had seen each other? It was 1 year. Ruto didn't realize this. The year had passed quite quickly for her because she had to deal with more and more politics. She had taken over the Zoran throne since her father had become too old and ill to rule. She was also being bothered by Zoras who wanted to marry her. She refused every single one as Link was her one true love.

Ruto and Link just stared at each other for a few minutes. Link was smiling and Ruto was melting. Then she couldn't hold it in any longer, "Link, I love you!"

"What," Link asked.

"I love you Link, with all of my heart!"

"Come again?"

"Link, remember when I gave you the Zora's Sapphire. Well, that was to show my love for you, and that I love you. It was also to show that you and I were engaged to be married."

Link was stunned by what Ruto had just said. He just thought that they were friends. He thought that the engagement was just a joke. "Ruto, I thought that the engagement thing was just a joke!"

"Well," she said tears welling up in her eyes, "I didn't! I thought it was serious! Link, I love you!"

"How could it have been true love, I was ten, you were nine! We had only known each other for a couple of days. You hated me and wanted nothing to do with me when we first met!"

"Well, things change Link."

"Does this mean you don't love me?"

"No! I love you and always will!"

By now Ruto was sobbing and Link didn't know what to do. He walked over to her kneeled down beside her and patted her on the back. "I'm sorry," he said.

"Apology accepted."

Ruto and Link hugged and parted ways. "Happy holidays," Link shouted from the other side of the bridge. Ruto waved and they wouldn't see each other until the spring.

****
Ruto knew that Link didn't love her, but that he liked her. I'm going to make him fall in love with me she thought to herself that night in bed. Whatever it takes, he will be mine! But how was she going to make him fall in love with her? First of all she had to get rid of Malon and the children. Perhaps by making them feel betrayed by Link.

Ruto had a terrible idea. That spring Link turned 26. She was going to give him a birthday present he wasn't going to forget, ever.
