Guys, I'm really sorry for not updating in two days but school is about to start and I have been really busy. Also, updates are become more irregular but I'll try to update at least once week. Alright guys this is the fifth chapter and like I said please let me know if you want me to drop this story and start another, or balance two stories. I don't know so just tell me what you guys want. Also if there aren't any votes or whatever, I'll just balance between both stories.

Link had been increasingly nervous and this was because of one thing, well, one person actually, Zelda. He knew they were best friends and they were nearly inseparable, but the problem was that he really liked Zelda and wasn't sure if she liked him the same way. A school dance was coming up and he wasn't sure who to take. He really wanted to ask Zelda but he wasn't sure if she would accept his invitation.

Zelda at the same time was having her own doubts. He really wanted for Link to ask her to the school dance that was coming up but she thought it would never happen because of the way she was, awkward and nerdy. She thought that she would be lonely and didn't stand a chance. She really wished that she for once had someone, love her. You would think that her father would love her, but no she was a burden instead of an actual daughter. She resented her father for that and that was why she moved. When Link invited her to stay over at his place, she was ecstatic. She finally felt that maybe, just maybe, she would be loved and truly cared for. She kind of got what she wanted, a best friend, but she wanted to be loved in a different way. By somebody who would always stay with her and would never let her go. And at some point she started to see that in Link.

She had started to see him like this when she was getting picked on by Ruto. Ruto was just an average cheerleader (if any of you are cheerleaders, I mean nothing by "average cheerleader" just saying she is a cheerleader), but she was super spoiled, and was completely obsessed with Link. She thought that he was her's and only her's. So of course when Link had Zelda move in, she saw her as a threat and started to take mistreat her whenever she was alone.

*FLASHBACK*

Zelda was heading to Link's car when

"Hey bitch, why don't you go and hang out with Link. He only wants to take advantage of the little nerd that had no place to stay. Why else would he let you stay, he'll just use you and then throw you out. Then he'll come to me for what you wouldn't willingly give him," Ruto said.

"That's not true I have plenty of friends, Link being one of them. I see why your jealous of me though, you were always obsessed with him, but you were never able to get him to like you or even acknowledge you as more than a stupid fangirl." Zelda had retaliated.

Ruto looked taken back at Zelda actually retaliating since she always just ignored her and let it happen. This time though, Zelda was angry because she had insulted both her and Link, besides, it wasn't like it was true, was it? No of course not, Link was her best friend.

"You listen here, if you get in the way of me and Link one more time I'll beat you to next week!" Ruto exclaimed as if challenging Zelda to fight back. Which she did, much to both of their surprise.

"I'll keep doing what I've been doing and you can't stop me, go ahead and try. Those are just empty threats, besides, even if you did, just think what'll happen to you. Do you really think that link will like you more me beating me, his friend, up? No, in fact he'll hate you more than he already does!" Zelda replied.

During her rant, Zelda did not notice that Ruto was steadily winding up to hit her, and that Ruto's friends were behind her so they could restrain her, so when she through the first punch, Zelda didn't see it coming. She got hit square in the jaw but it didn't stop there. She took hits on hits but, was powerless to stop them because of Ruto's friends restraining her. She felt hit after hit, and she felt like passing out, but she couldn't. She wanted to so she wouldn't feel the pain anymore, but luckily someone had come to her rescue. (Gee, I wonder who it could be…) Link, stood there stopping Ruto before knocking her out cold. See Ruto incapacitated her "loyal friends" high tailed it back to their individual rides.

"Oh jeez, Zelda, let's get you home, you look pretty bad, Zelda had heard Link say before slipping into unconsciousness.

TEMPORARY Zelda POV

I woke up in my bed with new clothes on and being freshened up. She at first was scared, who had changed her, who had helped get her clean. Oh wait, duh, maybe the only other person who lived in this house. Duh, it was Link, besides it wasn't like they weren't close enough to change in front of each other. There had been plenty of moments that they had each other with little to nothing on, but that's a story for later on. Maybe…

I thought back too what Ruto had said, that Link just wanted to get into her pants. She thought on it but the thing was, he could have done that while Zelda was unconscious, but he didn't. he wouldn't do that to her, after all, he defended her from Ruto. She had felt safe with him and she felt like she belonged. She had part of what she had always wanted.

*END FLASHBACK*

I had felt that that day had opened my eyes to my true feelings to Link. He was the only person who really cared about her, not counting her friends though. Mabey in the next few days, Link would ask her to the dance, but until then oh well.

Alright guys, I'm really sorry. I haven't updated but like n the first note, I'm going to wait for you guys to tell me what your opinions but, if there aren't any votes, I'll balance between the two. So yeah guys thanks.
