You're so cute when you blush

Sweet dreams.

Zelda leaned against a large shady tree, basking in the warm sun and enjoying a light breeze. She looked down at her lap and admired the sleeping Link whose head lay on her lap. She watched as he breathed in and out gently. She couldn't help but smile at him as she brushed a few strand of his fringe away from his eyes. It was peaceful and relaxing, and with Link fast asleep she couldn't help but think.

When was the first time she fell for this unlikely hero? Was it really the first time they met? Well that was more a little kid's crush. She remembered how hard her heart beat when she was disguised as Sheik...She wondered how she managed to keep up her act back then. Maybe because Link had treated her like a man. Either way she knew he was the one when she first revealed her true self to him, shedding her sheik disguise. When she saw the happiness in his eyes and that smile that warmed his face when he saw her, she felt her heart go wild. She remembered how her heart nearly tore in two when she thought he might lose against Ganondorf and how when she had to send him back to his time she was sure she felt her heart shatter...Thinking he would never return to her side.

But he did come back. And he never left her. He saw her every day, helped her with royal duties so that she had more time to play. He and she studied under Impa even though he was already skilled. She cherished every moment with him and longed for every moment that would come.

Often she found herself dreaming, about past times they had

about times she wished would happen in the future

About him. She loved him so much. And she would treasure everything about him. Every memory and hope she held she would keep in her mind and heart.

With those thoughts whirling in her mind she leaned over and kissed his forehead.

"Please don't leave my side." She whispered. She tensed as Link stirred, rolling on his side so his face was toward her waist and mumbled sleepily

"Five more minutes." She held back a giggle.

"Five more minutes honey just five mor..." Honey? He called her a sappy, lovey dovey nick name? She blushed a little at that. It was then he seemed to bury his face in her lap causing her to blush furiously.

"L-Link..."

"Five more minutes. Sweet heart." He groaned again. Zelda calmed herself and leaned back on the tree. She decided to let him sleep he was obviously really tired and It was just her lap... okay so he was calling her sappy names in his sleep but surely she could handle that...

"Darling...can we eat bacon for breakfast." Now he was calling her darling in his sleep. She took in a breath and tried to calm herself again. If only he wasn't so cute when he slept or if only he didn't talk in his sleep! Her blush calmed and so did her heart. Finally she relaxed and closed her eyes, the sun tempting her to sleep. It didn't take long before she slipped into silent slumber.

Unbeknownst to her Link was smirking in her lap, one eye open as he looked up at her. Noticing she was now in a deep sleep he slowly sat up, hoping not to disturb her and kissed her forehead as gently as possible.

"I won't leave your side...Sweet dreams my love." And with that he lay his head back in her lap and watched her sleep, a smile crept on to his face as he thought to himself...she really is cute when she blushes.
