This felt right to Ike. For some reason, walking up to the front doors of the Crimean Capital Building in a suit he had been unaware the tailor had made for him, his hand entwined with Zelda's felt like the most natural thing in the world. Ike, a guy who if you asked three months ago what he would be doing three months from then would've shrugged and said 'working', was about to do something history books would teach about. Hell, he'd become something history books would cover. He was officially a part of history and he couldn't care less.
Zelda smiled up at him as the reporters lining the sidewalk begged them for answers, cameras flashing like crazed fireflies, and he decided he'd give them something to photograph. Without taking into consideration just how pissed this maneuver would make her father, Ike made them stop and gave her a tastefully chaste kiss that sent the reporters into fits. He pulled back and she smiled at him, cheeks flushed as they started walking again towards the door.

Link sat at the table for a late lunch, his shaking mostly under control. Sheik sat at his side, red eyes darting between him and the tablet she held between them. On the seven inch screen Link watched the first official Hylian royal visit to Crimea, watched with a smile as Ike stopped on the walk and kissed Zelda, the reporters going nuts. "He's alright y'know?" Link said to Sheik who nodded casually. "I don't think he's perfect for her but-"
"He's better than that asshole she was dating," she said and Link grinned.
"You know something Sheik?" he asked as he reached a shaking hand to his glass of water. She reached out and steadied his hand with her own, her touch warm against his skin. "You're alright," he breathed, having wanted to say more but her touch made his brain freeze. He looked into those ruby colored eyes and gave her a weak grin.
"You're alright too," she said as she helped him balance the glass so he could take a sip.
"You wanna help me shower again?" he asked and she gave him a look that could wilt a deku tree. "That's not a no," he said with his trademark goofy grin and she rolled her eyes.

The king of Hyrule prided himself on knowing what was going on in his kingdom. To him it was just another day, it had gone smoothly enough. He was furious at his daughter for just up and leaving with the Crimean mutt, but at least he didn't have to worry about seeing them for a while longer. He sat behind his desk and turned on his 4K flatscreen tv, absentmindedly wondering what his chef would make for dinner that evening. He picked up his half empty bottle of water, hand bringing it to his lips as he watched the special news flash.
He almost turned off the tv when he saw some text about the Crimean Capital and "the scene just moments ago" until he recognized the faces on the screen. One he had seen for almost everyday of her life, the other had been a plague around his castle for the past while. And there they were. In Crimea. Kissing. On international television. The king gagged on his water, the liquid sliding down the wrong way as he sputtered.
"My King?" his aide poked his head in the door and he just managed to point at the screen.
"Th-that," he said and the aide noticed what was on the screen, eyes widening.

Rosalina sat at her desk playing a pointless time waster app, humming an aimless tune to herself as an alert popped up on her phone. She sighed at the interruption, until she noticed it was from Samus. 'Dude, Princess on tv totally lip locked with that hot guy I background checked!' Curious, Rosalina pulled up the Internet and sure enough, it was there, the headline of every major news network. A smile spread on her lips as she pulled up the message to respond.
'Guy's got some balls, King's gonna be soooooooooo pissed.'

Peach sat by her pool, sunbathing in a sparkling pink bikini with a servant nearby. She snapped her fingers and immediately he brought her a fresh glass of cucumber water, which she sipped daintily and pulled out her phone. "I haven't been on the cover of any good magazines lately," she lamented to the servant who just shook his head as she tapped a manicured nail to the screen. "Holy mushrooms and count my stars," she breathed, playing the video that had been emailed to her. A wicked smile came to her lips as she watched the handsome Ike pull Zelda in for a sweet kiss on the steps of the capital in Crimea. She could only imagine what Zelda's daddy was thinking and she took a big gulp of her water as she pressed play again.

I felt the reactions of various people needed to be seen so... I'm hyper and on a roll tonight with chapter posting! (Three in one night? It's gotta be someone's birthday...) So let me know what you think! As always thanks for reading and if you leave a review you make my day (seriously those email alerts make my day, is that pathetic? No, it shows that someone took the time to say something and that keeps me wanting to write. So basically awesome people leave reviews...) anyway much love, Leigh
