Trigger Warning. I wasn't sure what to do with this chapter, and I'm already so far behind, so I used it as an excuse to bond the couple. It does get "graphic" even though it wasn't a lemon. If you wish to skip this chapter, it won't affect the story at all! Thank you so much! 3
Saria woke up to a very messy room and a very worried Link.
"What the heck?" Saria whispered so Link didn't know she was awake.
"Where the hell is it?" Link whined. He was very upset over something. Saria looked around and saw her bag empty with all of her stuff spread around the room. Her shirts, shorts, panties, bras, boomerang, slingshot, hair bands, etc. She blushed as she realized Link went through her clothes. Her ocarina, however, was placed on the bed stand.
"What are you looking for?" Saria questioned him.
"My umm... my ocarina." Link sheepishly grinned. He also had a very personal question to ask Saria. "What are these?" He asked as he held up her panties.
Saria grew wide-eyed. She practically tackled him and threw them in her bag. Link saw her blush. He didn't know blushing that much was possible.
"Obviously something important." Link said.
"They are my underwear, you keese!" Saria growled.
"Why are they so different?" Link asked. Saria's only answer was a punch to his face. "Ow. ow. ow. ow. ow. ow" Link whined. She just kept hitting him like he was a moblin.
"Well, Link... Later, we need to find someone who can teach us everything we couldn't learn as Kokiri! I don't have a clue where your ocarina is though." Saria said, "Did you check your own bag?"
Link practically punched himself in the face as he ran over to his bag. He awkwardly laughed and slowly pulled his hand out of his bag, with the ocarina in grasp. Before Saria could say anything, Link started playing a song. A very familiar song to Saria.
"Link! Don't play that!" Saria shouted, even though she knew she was too late due to the massive dark storm clouds outside. Lightning struck the building across their window.
"Oh." Was all Link had to say.
The storm kept getting worse, to the point where Saria was on the verge of tears. She had never experienced something this threatening to her, due to living in the forest her entire life. She buried her face in Link's arm, while Link just held her tightly.
"There's nothing to worry about, trust me." Link whispered into her ear. He moved his arm and slid Saria's hair away from the front of her eyes. He grabbed her hairband and gently placed it in her usual spot. Following that, he laid down on the ground with her and brushed his nose against hers. Saria was still whimpering.
"B-but we were t-told that lightning k-k..." Saria cut herself off as tears trickled down the side of her flushed cheek. "kills us..."
Link slowly leaned in and pressed his lips to hers, passionately kissing her. Saria continued their moment because it made her feel safe. It made her feel like nothing would hurt her. Another bolt of lightning crashed into the ground right outside of the inn and Saria jumped, in the middle of their 'session.' She started breathing heavily and Link thought she was going to hyperventilate. He pulled back and gave her a reassuring smile. She gave a slight smile back and stood up. She grabbed Link's hand, as another bolt of thunder hit. Saria screamed and fell back down to the ground. She curled up into a ball and began crying again. Link picked her up and laid her down on the bed. He covered her with the blanket and got on the other side. He pulled the blankets over his body and cuddled with Saria. They both fell asleep again.
Zelda sat on her bed, staring at her hand. Her triforce piece began to glow, and it felt as if she was being pulled to somewhere in the town.
"Maybe the Hero of Time has arrived." Zelda thought aloud. "I hope the time hasn't come quite yet..."
Saria's eyes opened slowly, yet again, and she gave out a big yawn. She looked outside and noticed that she had only slept for around 2 hours. Yet another bolt of lightning struck, showing no mercy. Saria held in her scream, and instead poked Link in the face to wake him up. "Wake up, Linky," she said with a sly smirk. He moaned and then rolled over. Saria decided she was going to do the old-fashioned way and entered his head. To her surprise, it was a beautiful dream. It was Link and Saria laughing while sitting on the edge of a cliff and watching the sunset. Saria almost felt guilty for waking him up, but with that being said, in Link's dream, Saria turned to him and said, "Wake up Link..."
Link slowly opened his eyes, and he said, "Good morning, Saria," very quietly, because he was obviously still tired. He looked out the window and saw that barely any time had passed. "Link I'm scared," Saria said.
"Wh-" Link was cut off by a bolt of lightning and Saria's scream. "Oh... Can you stay here for a minute, I need to use the bathroom." Saria nodded slowly and gave him a worried look. Link hugged her and then walked away from Saria into the restroom. Saria walked over and sat right next to the door, so she could stay closer to Link. Meanwhile, another bolt of lightning flashed and Link heard Saria scream, then cry, then it was silent. He ran outside, only to step in a puddle, and find an unconscious Saria against the door.
"Oh Goddesses, Link why did ya' have to leave her alone!" He yelled at himself while picking her up, so she wasn't sitting in her own mess. He set her in the bathtub and went to clean the mess up, hoping Saria would be awake by the time he was done so he didn't have to wash her too. Sure enough, she wasn't... Link prayed to Farore that she wouldn't be mad at him for doing this, but he felt guilty, and he thought he owed her. He took out her hairband first, then belt, then vest, then skirt. He put those clothes in a bucket of water to rinse off. Saria was left in two clothing pieces, which Link was debating about. He then came to the conclusion that if he didn't, she would be a mess, and it wouldn't be good for her, so he did. He noticed several things about her that were different from his own body. He ignored them and filled the bath with water. Once he thought she was clean, he found a cloth to dry her with, and he dressed her in only a robe, not actually knowing how to put anything else on her. He laid her on the bed, realizing that it was the third time Saria had fallen asleep that day, and it was still the middle of the night. He waited for her to wake up, and wondered why she hadn't woken up when the water first touched her. He ignored it and let her lay on the bed.
Saria woke up but kept her eyes closed. She was embarrassed. She couldn't believe she had done that in front of Link. She felt different though. What was she wearing?
"Saria I know you're awake. Don't be embarrassed." Link said. "If anything, I should be.." What did Link mean? Saria opened her eyes, and she was on the bed, wearing a robe, with nothing else. Once she realized what Link meant, she turned beet red. She, however, could see a concerned look on Link's face. He would never hurt her, he just tried to help her.
"Thank you, Link," Saria said, and pulled him into a hug.
"I do have a question..." Link began. "Why is your body different than mine?"
"How are our bodies different? I thought we were both Kokiri..." Saria was confused.
"I think my body is weird then..." Link said.
"Well, whats different?" Saria moved closer to him, looking curious.
"Umm... this." Link pointed to the lower part of Saria's body. Saria yelped. She didn't know what was different, but she knew that it was an embarrassing topic.
"Well, what's different about it?" Saria questioned him, sounding unphased.
"Umm. I don't know how to explain it." Link said. Thus' began an hour-long conversation with the word 'thing' used almost every other word.
Example, "I have a thing that is different than that thing because the thing that is-" etc...
"So the thing goes on the thing in the thing!" Saria 'caught on'
"I think..." Link replied.
"What does it do?" Saria asked.
"Maybe it's a game." Link said.
Saria stood up and grabbed the last pair of clothes from her bag, and was about to go change out of the robe, then she asked, "So what's it look like?" with a huge grin.
Link turned as red as fire. "Umm... uhh.." He coughed a bit.
"I'll just see later." Saria winked with a devilish grin.
"HEY!" Link yelled, with humor in his voice.
Saria laughed while walking into the bathroom. Link pulled out a necklace from the drawer on his side of the bed. Saria forgot about her own birthday, but Link didn't. It was a bright green emerald, encased in gold. Link had used leftover rupees. Once Saria walked out of the restroom, in her new outfit, Link began to speak.
"Hey, Saria. Remember before we left, I made you a ring... Well happy birthday!" he put the necklace around her neck.
"It's my birthday? I know your birthday... but not my own." Saria was thinking. "How old am I in Hylian time?"
"I think 14..." Link said.
"14!" Saria yelled.
"Years. Different time unit..." Link calmed her down.
"Well... It's beautiful... thank you, Link." Saria stared into his green eyes. She leaned forward, and lightly pressed her lips to his. "I still feel like I need to know what it looks like." Saria pressed the side of her head against Link's chest, and pushed him down onto the bed, flopping herself on him. Link put his hands around her waist and flipped the both of them on the ground and began playfully wrestling with her. He lightly pinned her down, and put his knees on both sides of her body, holding her down. He leaned down and kissed her, but that's not was Saria was thinking about. She felt his leg rub against a certain part of her body, and it created a warm feeling throughout her body. She didn't know why, but she thought it had to do with what they talked about earlier. Saria began practically gasping for air after it continued for a good five minutes, and Link was worried. When Link stood up, he noticed that his tunic was a little wet towards the bottom, but it wasn't from him.
"Saria, do you need to take another bath?" Link asked, with a stern look planted on his face.
"No... I don't think it's what it was last time." Saria was blushing completely.
"What is it then? Link asked.
"I don't know... I think I need to rest." She looked worried
"Are you sick?" Link put his arms around her shoulders. He looked even more scared then Saria herself. "What caused it?"
"I- when- Your leg rubbed here, and I didn't mind at first, but later I felt like someone just gave me the best massage ever, and all my worries were gone, and- I- I felt like-" Saria sighed, "I felt amazing, but I don't know why THIS happened!"
Link looked confused and curious, "It felt good?" he emphasized on the word 'good.' Saria nodded and pulled Link closer to her.
"It made me feel like I needed to do more with you than just kissing..." she whispered.
"What's more?" Link asked.
"I don't actually know..." Saria giggled. Link placed a hand on her head and gently stroked her hair downward. He kissed Saria again, but when he deepened the kiss, Saria began twitching, and Link felt even wetter. Saria's lip began trembling, and she began laughing.
"Saria! Are you sure you're okay?" Link began freaking out, and his heart rate was going up.
"L-L-Link" Saria slightly moaned. "I L-love you." She began giggling some more, before kissing Link again. Link returned, still worried, but if she was laughing it couldn't be bad! Link was still concerned. What would he do?
This chapter was mainly for growing the couple closer. I want to know if you want me to head in this direction, or focus more on the drama, and action. I obviously will begin the whole quest next chapter, but this is for building character development and their bond. I warned you in the beginning, so please avoid screaming your face off :)
