Author's Note: Hey, my Minish minions! I missed you! I am currently on a train and headed home for the summer. Yay, home! It's good to finally get out of the big city and back to a small town. Due to me going home, I won't have constant access to a computer. For the summer, the update schedule has been changed from three a week to one a week. Sorry. Please review!

One Year's Eternity

Chapter 13

October 15, 5:36 A.M.

There was a knock at the door. I peeked open one of my eyes to see. I saw Midna rushing to the door.

"Beck?" she whispered through the wood.

She cracked open the door. It was Beck.

She immediatley embraced him. She dragged him into the room.

"Where to today?" she asked in a whisper.

Is this where she's always dissapearing to?

"I was thinking," Beck returned her hug and kissed her lightly, "Goron City."

"How far away is that?" she asked.

"Too far for just a one day trip," he smirked.

"Won't they get suspicious?" she asked, her whisper starting to fade.

"Just think of it as a short little break for the weekend," he said, trying to calm her down.

"I need one," she admitted. "Goron City's perfect."

"Okay, then," Beck said, grabbing Midna's jacket and handing it to her. "Let's go."

Midna kissed him quickly and put her jacket on. They hurried out of the dorm room. Midna looked back to see if I had been listening. I closed my eye before she could see. She closed the door softly and left.

Link and I were right!

I was about to grab my phone and text him.

I don't want to wake him up. He's probably still sleeping.

Just then, I got a text. The vibrating of my phone almost made my squeak in surprize.

Beck just left again. Did Mid?

"Link, you little bastard," I mumbled. I started tapping my phone to reply.

Yeah, and I have some more news than that. Come to my room around 10.

I layed back down and went to sleep again. Five more hours of sleep never hurt anyone.

.

10:12 A.M.

I was awoken by a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" I shouted to the door, sounding as awake as I could.

"It's Link," the door yelled back.

I threw off the covers and speeded to my door, making myself dizzy in the process. I had obviously not woken up yet.

As I opened the door, I saw Link behind it.

"What news?" he asked.

I grabbed onto his arm and dragged him into my room. I slammed the door shut behind him.

"Woah, slow down there, Zelda!" he said, stablizing himself on the edge of my bed.

"I'm sorry," I said, "but this is important."

"Okay," he mumbled, letting go of my bed. "What is it?"

"We were right!" I said proudly. "Midna and Beck definitley have something. When he came in here to get Midna, the first thing she did was kiss him. And you know how they've both been dissapearing?"

"Yes," he said, obviously intriuged.

"They've been going to different cities in Hyrule! They're going to Goron City this time."

"But that's way too far for a one day trip," he said, puzzled.

"They're going to be gone for the whole weekend," I told him. "Beck had the whole thing planned out."

"Wow," he said, sitting on one of the chairs in front of the TV. "We were right."

I sat on Midna's bed to face him. "It's not really that hard to connect the dots."

"I guess not," he said, facing me. "But what I want to know is how long they've been together."

"That's a good question," I reached over and picked up a Wiimote. "When they get back we'll have to shake 'em down to get the answers."

"Good idea," he picked up another controller. "But when is that?"

"Sometime tomorrow evening, probably," I switched seats and sat in the chair next to Link. He turned the Wii U on.

"One of these days," he said competitively, "I will beat you in a round of Smash."

"The day that happens," I said, choosing Pit, "I'll let you kiss me again."

"Challenge accepted," he picked Captain Falcon. "'Show me your moves!'"

I picked City and Town as the stage. Animal Crossing was just so damn cute.

"Crap, I should have gone with Villager!" Link said, pressing 'Ready'.

I laughed a little and pressed 'Ready'.

I'll give him this; he kicks ass as Captain Falcon. Even mine.

After the eighth round, he beat me. He even finished me off with a Falcon Punch. I almost threw my controller at him when I saw the angel float off the screen uncontrollably.

"Get tired of winning?" he mused.

"My side button was sticking!" I lied, refusing to accept defeat.

"We made a deal," he said, standing up.

"I was kidding!" I said, straining my neck to look at him.

"Kidding or not, you owe me something."

Why did I say that?

I stood up quickly and pushed him back down in his chair. I sat on my bed so he couldn't see me. He stood slowly and faced me.

"I'm starting to sense that you are trying to back out of your little bet," he said sarcastically. He walked over to my bed and stood there with his arms crossed.

"You know I was kidding," I said, crossing mine in response.

"I don't know," he said. "Your sarcastic voice and your serious voice are so similar."

"Yeah, right," I stood up to face him.

Dammit! He knows me way too well!

"Well then, get it over with," I said reluctantly.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet.

"This doesn't feel right."

"What do you mean?" I asked. "You get a free chance to kiss me, for the Gods' sake!"

"I know," he said, bowing his head, "but every other time I kissed you, it was different."

"Different?" I asked. "A kiss is a kiss, right?"

"Oh, my naive little Zelda," he said jokingly, cupping my chin in his hand. "You know not of love?"

"Not much, really," I answered truthfully, shoving his hand off of me. "I grew up in a house full of hatrid. I've known nothing about love. I was taught that love was a prize that I would never win."

He looked worried. Confused, maybe, but definitely saddened.

"Well," he said, embracing me, "that hate is gone now. You just have to accept that all the lessons that you learned from that man were false. You have new people caring for you now. People who won't treat you like he did."

His words were comforting, to say the least. I felt a weight lifted off of me. I rested my head on his chest. He kissed my temple softly. I felt like I could melt.

"Htavos, Link," I whispered. (AN: That's "Thanks, Link.")

"Oy'd gomr, Zelda," he cooed. (AN: "It's fine, Zelda.")

"Tutoring helps, huh?" I said, raising my head.

"Definitely," he replied.

I tilted my head up and got on the tip of my toes. For the first time, I kissed him first.

Gomsaau. Love. I've been waiting for you.

October 16, 8:24 P.M.

Link and I were waiting by the elevators in the lobby. Every person who needed to use it thought that we were waiting for it, but we said no every time. We were waiting for Midna and Beck. While we were waiting, we were talking about music. He liked a lot of Indie bands that I had never heard of, and I the same for him. We showed each other the bands the other didn't know, and liked everything we were shown. At 8:24, Midna and Beck walked in. They walked in laughing. They stopped laughing when they saw us.

"Oh, hi, Zel!" Midna said, as if nothing had happened.

"Where were you two?" Link asked before I could say the same thing.

They looked at each other with frightened eyes. Midna looked back at us stuttering.

"Truth," I said sternly, "would be preferred."

Midna sighed. Beck bit his lip.

"We went to Goron City for the weekend," Beck said slowly.

"Why'd you go alone?" I said.

Midna and Beck looked at me with confused faces.

I should have brought a mirror!

"What I want to know," Link said, "is why you went."

"To get a break from school," Beck replied.

"But why go all the way to Goron City?" I asked.

"We've been everywhere close," Midna slipped. She covered her mouth after she said that.

"So," Link said, "how long have you been doing this?"

Beck answered, "Since the end of last school year."

Link looked at them with bewilderment.

I really should have brought a mirror!

"Last year?" he asked.

"Just about, yeah," Beck replied. "It's been a secret for long enough."

"Thanks for sharing with us first," I said. Midna gave me a hug.

"I'm glad we could," she whispered in my ear. She let go and stood next to Beck again.

"Well," Beck said, "now that that's over with... What now?"

"I don't know, really," I said. "What is there to do?"

"It's a little late," Midna turned to Beck. "We should be heading to our rooms."

We all agreed and went to our separate rooms. Once Midna and I got to our room, she slammed the door shut.

"You were awake, weren't you?!" she exploded. "When Beck came to pick me up yesterday, you were watching us, right?"

"Maybe," I replied coyly.

"Yeah, right," she growled. "I hate you."

"That's my Mid!"
