A/N: Thank you for all the positive reviews! I am really glad people like this story, and I am 100% sure I will finish because of all the time I spent on the artwork. I will try to make this story over 1000 words. Key word: try.
Ghirahim's Secret Garden
"Ghirahim, this is amazing!" Impa said in awe. "Why do you have this garden?" "This is the place where I grew up, this is the most special place I know." Ghirahim said deep in thought. "Well it's beautiful." Impa looked around, "Can we swim in this lake?" she said excitedly, "I love swimming!" "Erm, I guess so," Ghirahim said shyly. Impa's eyes grew excited as she climbed down the ladder, ran to the lake and jumped in gracefully. Ghirahim transported down to the lake and put his legs in the water. Impa was an expert swimmer and moved through the water like an eel. She came up for air, she said, "Ghirahim, why don't you come in?" "I-I don't know how to swim." Ghirahim admitted. "Anyone can swim, Ghirahim. I could teach you if you want." "No thanks." Ghirahim said. "Please?" she pleaded. "No! I don't want to swim!" Ghirahim yelled. Impa swam under the water in defeat. "No, I'm sorry Impa, I didn't mean to yell! I'm sorry." He called. "She probably hates me now." Ghirahim sighed just as Impa grabbed his legs and pulled him into the water. Impa laughed as Ghirahim flailed around in the water. "Ahhh! It's cold!" Ghirahim yelled splashing around in the water. "It's okay Ghirahim, all you have to do is kick your feet steadily." Ghirahim did as she said and treaded water, his cape was spread out behind him. "Now, get on your stomach and kick your legs behind you, also move your arms like this." Impa said moving Ghirahim's arms. Shivering, he sloppily moved toward the other end of the lake. "Why am I doing this? I said I didn't want to." Ghirahim thought. When he got to the other end, he scrambled out of the lake and took off his soaking wet cape, then he dove underwater. Impa started to get scared when he didn't come up for air. She went under water to look for him, but saw nothing. Now very worried she came up for air and screamed for him. "Ghirahim! Ghirahim!" she looked franticly around. "Where is he, where is he?! But why am I so worried, I thought I didn't like him. She thought. While she was thinking, she barely noticed Ghirahim pulling her underwater. They both came up for air, "Why did you do that!? You scared me to death!" Ghirahim laughed, "That was the point!" "J-just don't do that again." "Oh, so you do care!" Impa blushed. "No! I-I just don't want to burry someone today." Ghirahim laughed and splashed some water on her. She did the same and they got in a water fight.
Ghirahim and Impa swum in the lake for the rest of the day, and Ghirahim became a much better swimmer. "I'm getting out, I am really cold now!" Ghirahim said climbing on to the shore.
Impa's POV
Ghirahim got out onto the shore, I decided it was time for me to get out too. I dove underwater and popped out by the shore and I climbed out. Ghirahim snapped and teleported back with 2 towels and a basket. "What's in the basket? I said drying myself off. "A picnic." Ghirahim said cheerfully. He unpacked it and set a few fruits and a sandwich in front of me, he did the same with himself. I watched him start eating first to make sure the food wasn't poisoned or something, it seemed to be fine so I started to unpeel a banana. "So this is where you grew up. I can't say I'm not jealous." I said. "Well I didn't have the perfect childhood, actually far from that." He explained. "Really?" I exclaimed, "What was it like?" He told me all about his childhood.
"How do you know that Demise wasn't lying about your birth parents?" I asked. "I don't know, but inside to of me, I-I just know he was telling the truth. But I have long given up being evil since Mast-Demise was sealed. Enough about me, what was your childhood like?" I thought a second before answering his question. "Well, I was raised by a single mom, but she died when I was 3. I was sent with my aunt who had 7 other kids and since I was a sheikah, she sent me to Sheikah School to become a warrior for Hylia so she didn't need to take care of me anymore. When Hylia sent for the most trained Sheikah to aid her when she was dying, I was the one who came. But Sheikah School is where I had most of my childhood." I was lost in thought when Ghirahim said, "Hey, the sun is just about to set, do you want to watch it from the tree house?" "Okay," I said. Ghirahim put his hand on my shoulder and we teleported to the top of the tree house. The trees were clear right where the sun was going to set, everything about this place was so perfect, so romantic. Then he put his arm on my shoulder, I decided what to do for a second. Isn't this just a way for him to kill me? Whatever, I haven't had any fun in years and now Hylia is safe from his harm, (If he even wanted to hurt her) I might as well have fun. So I scooted closer to him. The sun started to fall off the edge of the horizon and beautiful beams of red and orange light burst through the light purple sky. Ghirahim looked at me with his dark green eyes, they were so beautiful, green and brown swirled together. Then he closed them and puckered his lips and leaned closer all at once. I couldn't comprehend it at first and I didn't know what to do. Then I knew just what to do. I wrapped my arms around him and came closer, we locked lips. His lips tasted like sugar and lime. I didn't want to let go of him, I had never had a kiss like this and I couldn't bear to stop. But I do have self-control and I pulled away, but I gave him a kiss on the check and laid down. He laid down next to me and we counted the stars know appearing in the dark blue sky.
"It's getting pretty late, we better go inside," I said. Ghirahim yawned, "I agree." The inside of his treehouse, was very cozy. In the left corner there was a small fireplace and a full sized bed. In front of me was a doorway to a kitchen. "In the kitchen there is a bathroom, in the bathroom there is a closet with a night gown, you probably don't want to sleep in that." Ghirahim motioned to my outfit. "Thank you. Where did you get a nightgown?" I asked. "Oh. It was my mother's when we lived here. Don't worry though, I washed it." I walked to the bathroom and changed into the nightgown in the closet. When I walked back out Ghirahim was under the covers with his eyes closed. "Sorry I only have 1 bed. I didn't think I would have company tonight." He whispered, drifting to sleep. I crawled under the covers and pulled up the blanket. The warmth of his back lulled my into a deep sleep.
A/N: Mission accomplished! I loved this chapter! And by the way when they were kissing there was NO tongue! I had to say that because I knew someone would ask. If you have any suggestions please tell me because I'm not sure where this story is going. And as always If I made a mistake I would be overjoyed if you helped me out! Until next time.
