Zelda felt her heart beat faster as she approached the cabin's wooden door, anxiety was gnawing in the back of her mind. It was friday and the night's air was bitter cold, Zelda had her coat done up tight as a result. 'Was she ready?' was the question that she kept asking herself over and over as she walked. The blonde had spent the entire day trying to figure out what to wear, much to Abigail's annoyance. The day had consisted of Zelda changing outfits and Abigail simply replying "You look fine." over and over again. It was only when Abigail went over to her dresser and picked out the blonde's clothes for her did they stop, declaring "If you can't pick something then I'll pick something for you!".

Zelda thought she looked ok, but now standing in front of the her date's door she felt the urge to run away and hide. Pushing down her fears and mustering all the courage she had the blonde gently knocked on the artist's door. She heard the sound of motion from within and it wasn't long before the door opened. The light shone from inside, illuminating the ground around her. Zelda smiled nervously as she saw Leah standing in the doorway wearing a wooly green sweater, she also had the same nervous smile across her face.

"Come in, you must be freezing." Leah said helping zelda inside and taking her coat.

"It's pretty cold out there today, but it nice and toasty in here." Zelda said observing the roaring fire in the fireplace.

After hanging up the blonde's coat, Leah turned to see her date properly for the first time. Zelda was wearing her usual red sweater and a lovely skirt with thick leggings to keep her warm. Leah could tell that Zelda was wearing a small amount of lipstick for the occasion. Her long and flowing hair was down as usual but seemed to shine in the light. Leah blushed as she took in the sight, feeling her heart beat slightly faster. Zelda noticed Leah's table had been set up for a candlelit dinner for two. Zelda's smile widened as her cheeks turned a slight shade of pink, she knew she was a sucker for romance. The two took a seat at the table, both still retaining their goofy smiles.

"I hope Lasagna's ok." Leah said nervously as she brought out the food.

"It looks great, and did you make the salad yourself?."

"Yea, I normally use fresh forest ingredients but that's a usually impossible in the winter. Unless you like eating an assortment of pine cones."

Zelda's giggle made Leah feel a bit more at ease. The two began eating their meal, Leah was thankful that the food turned out alright and she could tell that Zelda was enjoying it as well. Conversation seemed to come much more naturally than either of them thought, both interested in what was happening in each others lives.

"So how's your art going?" Zelda asked. "Any new inspirations you've come across?"

"I haven't done much since we last spoke but I did have an interesting idea this morning."

"What is it?"

"Well… It's just an idea but I was thinking about trying to turn one of my sculptures into a working animatronic. I thought it might be interesting, as it would be the first of its kind."

"That's sound really cool."

"Yea well… its just an idea, I don't know much about machines so I might ask Maru for help."

"You should go for it, doing something new and different is what artists do."

"What about you any new plans?" Leah asked.

"I've been looking into getting an automated sprinkler system installed, there pretty expensive but with the time it will save me I can produce twice as many crops."

"Wow, your little farm is really growing. You've come along way from when we first met."

Zelda smiled thinking of the first time the two had met, it seemed like forever ago.

"I have to say I'm a little surprised you asked me out." Zelda said shyly.

"I'm surprised you said yes." Leah said blushing slightly. "I've wanted to for a while now but I was afraid that you might not like me… that way."

"Well truth be told I've had a crush on you for a long time now, but I didn't know you were into girls."

"I didn't really know either until a month ago, it was a bit of an eye opener. So I guess that means I'm bisuxual." Leah said. "What about you?"

"I'm gay" Zelda said, surprised at how liberating it felt to tell someone without fear of rejection.

"Discovering my sexualtiy was a bit of a rollercoaster." Leah said shyly. "What was it like for you?"

Zelda was surprised by the question but understood where Leah was coming from, discovering something like this was a scary and confusing time for someone.

"I knew from a pretty young age." Zelda explained. "All the other girl's in class started noticing boys… but I started to noticed girls. Discovering was the easy part, dealing with it was a different story. I got bullied in school a lot because of it and that made life really difficult for a long time."

"I'm sorry…" Leah said sadly.

"It's not your fault, I just have trouble telling people. You and Abigail are the only ones who know."

"Well I haven't told anyone about me and… us... except for Penny."

"Ok…"

"Maybe since I'm still new to this we take it slow and keep it quiet? For now at least."

"Yea ok... " Zelda said with a small smile. "That sounds nice."

The two continued to talk about everything and nothing at the same time and finished there meal. In what felt like no time at all it was eleven and they realized they would have to say goodnight. Zelda stood at the door as the two said goodbye, her signature smile as cheerful as ever, it was clear she had a great time. As she stood outside the blonde's breath was visible in the cold air and it was hard to tell if it was the cold that was making her cheeks red or if she was just blushing, either way Leah thought she looked cute.

"Thanks, this was… Awesome." Zelda said giggling as she finally found the perfect word to describe the evening.

" problem." Leah said stuttering a little. The familiar voice in the back of her head was screaming at her once again, this time telling her to kiss her. "I…I mean...we should do this again sometime...If you want."

"One hundred percent yes." Zelda giggled as she watched the artist getting flustered.

The voice in Leah's head finally won as she stepped forward and moved close to the blonde, the world slowed down as the two stared into each other's eyes, blue meeting lilac. The blonde blushed as she relished what was coming, Leah's heart was pounding heavily and Zelda's felt like her's had stopped completely. Neither of them was sure who leaned in first but suddenly the two were in a deep passionate kiss. Neither could feel the cold any more instead they felt a warmth that slowly engulfed their whole body. Leah hummed softly against the blonde's lips as Zelda played with her sweater. When the two finally broke apart both had the biggest smile on their faces.

"Does this mean I have a girlfriend?" Zelda asked a little shyly.

"Only if its ok with you."

"Well I guess it's settled then." Zelda giggled.
