Childhood Memories
Chapter 6:Blossoming Affection

Link's arms were still around Zelda as the sun shone mildly into the room,behind the grey clouds.
His eyes opened a little and he replayed the event that occured last night.
Zelda was now stirring in her sleep,almost falling off the bed if it wasn't for Link's muscled arms that held onto her. He decided that he leave the room before someone comes in and see Link and the Princess in bed together...they might start getting hentai ideas...Link sighed and slowly removed his arms from Zelda's waist,
he didn't want to leave...

OH SURE...YOU DON'T LIKE HER...THATS A LOAD OF CRAP!

huh...your back again...great just what I needed!

WHATEVER! SO WHAT DID THEY FEEL LIKE...?

what are you going on about now!

YOU KNOW HER...BREAST?

what!I didn't do anything like that...?

DON'T LIE TO ME!YOU FELT AROUND FOR WHO WAS BESIDE YOU AND GRABBED HER BREAST!

uh...get lost!

I KNEW IT!

silence

FINE!JUST KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF...YA HORNY BASTARD...

hmph
Link rose from bed carefully covering the Princess up.
He quietly tip toed out of the room and down the cold corridoors.
The King caught sight of him before he entered the kitchen.

"Ah...Link I need to have a word with you."Said the King.

Link nodded and walked up to him.

"I know that you are now Hyrule's protector...how old are you again?"Asked the King.
"Seventeen..."Said Link.
"Yes of course...Well as you know my time is coming to an end and when I leave Zelda will be alone..."Spoke the King.
"Yes..."Whispered Link.
"I wanted to know since Zelda is only one year younger than you...If you would consider...Marriage?"The King said.

Link never looked into the King's eyes...he was shocked and excited at the same time?
Sure Zelda was a beautiful Princess,but he didn't know if she couls open up her heart to him?
Not to mention forgiving Link for leaving the castle...He was confused and blurted something he wished he never said!

"I would consider taking your daughter's hand in marriage...but I do not know anything about her...?"Slowly said Link.
"That is quite alright...You can stay for as long as you want and maybe spend some time with Zelda...?"Proclaimed the King.

Link thought for a second and decided to that he would stay and maybe Marry the Princess...?Maybe.
He walked outside to where he first laid eyes on Zelda...Completly forgetting about breakfast.
When he reached the bench underneith the oak tree,he sighed and sat down on the cool wooden bench.
He hoped that the Princess would come out here so Link could speak with her.

Zelda's eyes fluttered open and she stretched her arms. When she rolled to the left side Zelda noticed that the pillow had a dent in it.
like someone else was sleeping in the same bed as her? She was sure that she felt a warm presence next to her...embracing her?
Zelda climbed out of bed and went to her mirror and began to brush her hair. When she was satisfied Zelda grabbed a long pink gown,pairing it off with pearl white flat heeled dress shoes. She stared at herself and laughed...

"Why am I getting so dressed up...?"Said Zelda.

DUH!BECAUSE LINK WILL SEE YOU...!

Its you again...?

WHY DON'T YOU SPEND SOME TIME WITH HIM...?

I can't...it would be weird?

NOT IF YOU BOTH LIKE EACHOTHER

no I think I'm going to go and sit under my favourite tree...and just think for a bit...

WHATEVER YOU SAY!
Zelda headed towards her door and down some stairs,until she reached the front doors.
She turned a corner and decided to stop by the courtyard to smell some of the exotic flowers.
Zelda was there for nearly 15 minutes and thought that she should go to her spot before it started to pour down on her...She was atleast two yards away from the giant oak tree when she noticed someone else sitting on her bench? Who was it! As she neared the bench a clear image of the person came into her focus...Link?
It was him...why would he be sitting in her bench?
Zelda could feel herself blushing a bright red...she was just behind Link.

Link turned around...And imidiatly turned right back around...?

"Zelda...can we talk...?Stammered Link.
"I suppose?"Answered Zelda.

Link patted the empty spot beside him,signaling for Zelda to sit.
She cautiously took her seat next to Link and placed both hands on her lap.

"So...um what did you want to talk about...?"Asked Zelda.
"Your father has informed me that you are lonely..."Questioned Link.
"Yes...I am with father ruling the Kingdom...and me alone without a Husband...?Spoke Zelda.

Link turned to Zelda surprised at what she said...well the last part?
Zelda turned to look at Link and blushed yet again.

"Why did you leave me Link...eight years ago?"Zelda asked.
"I wanted to become a hero...and here I am eight years later...a true hero."Spoke Link.
"You broke my heart you know...?"Stated Zelda.

Link looked at her with his sky blue eyes...and slowly moved closer beside her.
Zelda noticed what he was doing and also moved closer..until it started to rain.
The rain made a lous thuding sound as it hit the ground,it felt hard on Zelda's skin and she began to shiver.
Holding herself trying to keep warm...yet it didn't help.
Link saw Zelda's warmth leave and turn cold...He placed his arms around Zelda and pulled her into his well toned chest.
Zelda let out a small gasp,when Link caught her off guard in an embrace.

"L...Link...?"Zelda said.
"Its okay...I'll keep you warm..."Said Link.

Zelda closed her eyes and a single tear fell...Link couldn't tell because her face was already wet from the rain.
She was confused that Link was here holding her...

"You hurt me eight years ago...and now you are here embracing me...?"Whispered Zelda.
"I was a child I didn't know any better...but now I know that I only want to be with you..."Answered Link.

Zelda's eyes widened in surprise at Link's words..."had he ment what he said...?"Thought Zelda.
She looked up at Link to speak...she knew what she now wanted...

"Link...I...um...Lo..."Started Zelda.

She was cut off by a clash of loud roaring thunder that startled her and made her jump a little.
Link held on tighter to her...charishing every moment he was with Zelda.

"We should go inside and sit by a fire before you catch a cold..."Whispered Link.

Zelda nodded in agreement and they both sat up and ran towards the castle's front entrance.
Link was running slightly in front of Zelda...they both cut across the cortyard grass,it was soaking wet and when Zelda set foot on it she slipped and fell forwards landing on her stomach...Her dress was wet and a little dirty.
Link slowed down when he heard a thud and looked to see that Zelda had fallen.
He ran towards her and held out his hand. She took it but before she could begin running again,Link scooped her in his muscled arms...bridal style.
Link began to run back to the castle...The rain felt good against his body.
When they both reached the front doors Link carefully set Zelda back on her feet...

"Thank you Link..."Said Zelda.

Link blushed and then spoke.

"Your welcome Princess...It was my honor carring you..."Link said.

Before Zelda walked inside she turned to Link and kissed him on the cheek.
She then walked inside the castle and into a room with a fire already started.
Link stood there in shock,his hand on the cheek that Zelda's ruby lips had kissed...
