This chapter is very short, but it is focused on Zelda and Link. Please review and tell me what you'd like to see in future chapters, or give me advice on how to improve my writing. I do not own Zelda, it is rightfully owned by Nintendo.

Chapter 8; Night

Link and Zelda walked outside, with the activity outside nearly gone. They sat down in Zelda's Courtyard, which hadn't been damaged at all. Link put his feet in the water, and Zelda joined him.

"So, how are your wounds, Linky?"

"They don't hurt much anymore."

"Does it hurt when I do this?" Zelda leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Nah, it feels fine." Link smiled.

Link found that he was staring at her lips, and he felt a tingle on his. He blushed, but didn't know if Zelda noticed since it was dark outside. He was imagining what it would feel like if they kissed.

Once Zelda took her head off of Link's shoulder, she put her fingers in Link's hair, smiled, and commented, "Your hair is getting thick."

Link replied with, "Well haircuts are expensive."

They stayed there and talked for a few hours, until Zelda finally said, "I'm tired."

Suddenly she collapsed and fell asleep on Link's shoulder. He let her sleep there for a little bit, until he decided it was time to go in. He didn't realize that Zelda wasn't really asleep, she was just pretending so that she could feel his shoulder.

Link carried Zelda up to her room, and gently put her on her bed and tucked her in. He smiled as he looked down to her, and went to his own room and fell asleep.
