Chapter 4

Zelda awoke the next morning, sprawled on her new bed with one leg hanging off of the edge. She opened her eyes slowly, not wanting to move and disrupt the completely content and serene atmosphere. She gently pulled her long hair out from underneath her and glanced towards Nayru's bed. A giant, blue mass of hair protruded from the top of her turquoise blanket, but that was all she could see. Sighing, she quietly got up and tip-toed to the bathroom, closing the door and locking it for extra safety measures.

She shucked off her clothes indifferently, irritated that she had slept in her skinny jeans. Midna wouldn't let her leave last night until she was half passed out and drooling, face smushed against the table.

Flashback

"Er… M-Midna?" Ilia stuttered, not taking her eyes off the sleeping girl. She could practically see the Z's floating above her head.

"Whot?" Midna answered through a mouthful of noodles.

"I think Zelda has had enough for tonight," Ilia replied, looking critically at the drool on the table, "Why don't you help her up to her dorm?"

Midna sighed and smiled at her sleeping friend. "Alright, alright. I guess it is getting pretty late. What time is it anyways?"

Link, who was smoothing the hair away from Zelda's face, glanced at his leather watch. "It's a quarter til 4 in the morning."

Midna rose from her chair and tossed a tip at the center of the table. "Welp, looks like you guys won't see me until Monday. This is going to take some serious recovering from." She shook the sleeping beauty and held back a giggle when said beauty's eyes opened slightly.

"Come on, Zel. You're drooling again."

End of Flashback

Zelda groaned, slapping her forehead. She had once again completely embarrassed herself in front of everyone. Why do her saliva glands have to be so over-active when she sleeps?!

She took a hot shower, pep talking to herself while she rinsed and lathered. "You can do this, Zelda," she started, nodding her head, "Everything is fine. So what if you drool? Everyone has some sort of bad quality. You just happened to show yours in public. On a table. In front of a really hot guy and all of your potential friends." She groaned again, banging her head on the white tiled walls. "Why are you so stupid? Stupid stupid stupid!"

After a thorough beating, she finally stepped out of the shower and tossed on her ripped capris and T-shirt. It was Sunday, her last day of freedom, and no way in hell was she wearing something uncomfortable. She blow dried her hair and began to apply some mascara when someone started to knock on the bathroom door.

"UM HELLO? COULD YOU BE ANY LOUDER?! You disruptive little-"

Zelda rolled her eyes and finished her makeup as slowly as she could. When she was done, she plastered a big, fake smile on her face and opened the door.

"Oh, Nayru! I didn't hear you. I must have been making too much noise."

Nayru stood there, her hair a mess and her eyeliner smudged, tapping her foot with her arms crossed. She narrowed her eyes at Zelda and shoved past her into the bathroom, slamming the door in Zelda's face. She couldn't help but snicker as she slipped her black flip flops on and exited the dorm, locking the door behind her. The clock above the lounge said it was almost noon.

"Oh great," she muttered after checking to see if anyone was in the hallway, "the day before school starts and I've already wasted half of it."

She continued grumbling until she got to the elevator and punched the 'down' button. She watched the lights above the metal doors blink until it reached the seventh floor and opened. Two girls, one with tanned skin and a long crayon red ponytail, and one who was short with fair skin and green hair piled neatly on top of her head, exited the elevator shaft. The green one paid her no attention, but the red one sneered at her with disgust as they crossed paths. She smelled of flowers and earth.

When she was safely inside of the elevator, she clutched her head and let out a scream. "Why is everyone at this school so rude?!" She shouted to no one in particular.

Just then, the elevator stopped and the big metal doors opened. Zelda quickly composed herself as another girl entered silently. Out of everyone she had seen at the Academy, this girl was the strangest looking. Her skin, eyes, and short hair were all a soft, glowing blue. She wore a violet dress that ended just above her knees, and diamond shaped brooch was pinned on the silky cloth just below her throat.

"If my observations are correct, I would assume that you are studying my appearance."

Her voice startled her. It was musical and monotone at the same time, somehow fitting the complete silence she caused in the atmosphere around her. Her solid blue eyes flickered towards Zelda, no expression evident on her face.

"Oh-oh! Sorry, I was just, erm…" Zelda trailed off, scratching her cheek, "I really like your brooch."

The blue girl glanced briefly down at the diamond on her dress, then looked back at Zelda. "There is a 78 percent chance that my brooch is not what you were looking at, but I show you my gratitude anyways."

Zelda blanched and looked at her toes. "Er, my name is Zelda. I-I'm new here."

The girl looked at her again, but said nothing. After a moment, Zelda raised her eyes again to meet her blue ones.

"Fi is the name I was given. It is what you would call a pleasure meeting you, Hyl-Zelda. Recognition complete."

The elevator opened then and Fi walked out briskly yet gracefully. "See you again!" Zelda called, but by the time she had stepped out of the shaft, the blue woman was out of sight.

"Whew, what a weird girl. I wonder what race she is," she muttered, walking out into the courtyard. She suddenly stopped dead in her tracks. Where was she even going?

Zelda glanced around the massive campus and pulled her hair into a ponytail. Her bangs and some short layers framed her face pleasantly as she searched for somewhere to go. She could ask the lobby secretary what Midna's room number was, but she had a feeling that Midna did not enjoy being woken up from her beauty sleep.

Maybe she could find Ilia in the school's library. They had hit it off pretty well last night, considering Ilia seemed to be the only other person she'd met who wasn't full of confidence. She smiled and nodded to herself, turning towards the school's private and extensive library, which was one entrance to the actual school itself. Sort of like Books-a-Million at the Castleton Mall.

Most students still seemed to be sleeping, because campus was much less full than it had been yesterday. Zelda didn't mind this though. That only meant there were less people to see her walking around like a loner by herself. She squared her shoulders and lifted her chin slightly.

She finally reached the library and pushed the glass doors open, only to reveal the largest collection of books she had ever seen in one place.

And there was absolutely no one there, not even the librarian.

She hesitated before smiling wickedly. Glancing behind her to check for other library-goers, she ducked inside and skipped happily to the history section.

"Oh my goddess," she breathed, looking up at the high shelves stacked above her. They had to be twice her height. She ran her fingers over the old and authentic looking books, sighing dreamily. She pulled one out randomly, flipping through the pages. She came to a stop on a painting of the Goddess Hylia, with her long blonde hair cascading down her back like a golden waterfall. Her white dress flowed in the wind as she descended from the sky, holding the Goddess Harp and Goddess Sword. She sighed at the intense beauty of the deity.

She felt someone place a hand against the small of her back and shrieked in surprise, slapping the book shut. She whipped around only to meet the dark blue eyes of none other than Link.

"Link!" she shrieked, placing a hand over her heart. "Don't sneak up on me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack."

He raised his free hand and laughed. She noticed the stack of books cradled beneath his other arm. "I'm sorry Zel, I came out of the back room and saw you standing here all by yourself. I thought you'd enjoy some company."

She hesitated, giving him a pointed look. "You work in the library?"

His smile didn't falter and he gazed at her gently. "I work here on the weekends for Professor Shad. I like it because nobody really comes in here."

Zelda smiled. "I like it too."

His eyes brightened at this, and he held out his stack of books. "Do you want to help me then? I have to put these books back on their shelves. They're labeled, so it's not confusing."

Zelda took half of the stack, but kept the history book she had found from earlier. "Of course I'll help you."

Link gave her an appreciative smile and headed towards the opposite side of the library. "If you need any help, let me know!"

Zelda took her time putting the books back. She felt each and every cover thoroughly, whether it was old and leathery or new and laminated. Most of them were fiction but there was also one on the fire breathing dragon Volvagia. This interested Zelda so much that she actually stopped to read the first few pages. Finally, she found the shelf spot for her last book, but no matter how high she jumped, she couldn't reach the small empty spot on a shelf just barely out of her reach. "Link," she called, bouncing, "I need help. I need a ladder or something, please," She stuck her tongue out in concentration, still trying to reach the shelf. After a moment, she was about to give up, when she felt strong, capable hands encircle her waist and raise her up gently. She placed the book in it's cozy spot and fought the blush that threatened to creep onto her cheeks. Link placed her gently on the ground, not moving his hands. She turned in his loose embrace and felt the color leak onto her face as she stared up into his gentle gaze. Caught up in the moment, he leaned towards her, and for a moment Zelda thought he was going to kiss her.

"Thank you," he murmured, closing his eyes.

Oh Goddess, this is it! He's going to kiss me. But I just met him yesterday! Things are going too fast! Right? I mean, right? Is this a bad thing? Goddess, he smells so good.

Much to her dismay, his hands dropped from her waist and he stepped back, giving her more room. She hadn't realized it, but the palms of her hands were smashed against the books behind her, and her shoulders were tense. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and began to fan her face.

Link smiled innocently, tilting his head to one side. "Sorry, I didn't mean to put you in an uncomfortable situation."

She waved her hand, unable to hide her smile. "No, no, it's fine. It's comfortable. Really, it is."

He raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth, but just then, the doors to the library swung open and from the corner of her eye, Zelda could see a smidgen of orange hair.

"Hey you two! I knew I'd find you little dorks in the library." Midna laughed, joining them. When she noticed their closeness and Zelda's red face, she grinned.

"Did I interrupt something?"

"No!" Link and Zelda said at the same time.

Midna wiggled her brows. "You sure?"

"Positive," Zelda said, flailing her hands, stepping farther away from the blonde boy.

"Alright," Midna sang, "Well, since you're not busy, lets go get some lunch Zellie! I'm starved." She grabbed the flustered blonde woman's hand and pulled her towards the exit. "You coming Link?"

"Nah, I have to work here until three. I'll see you guys around."

Zelda couldn't help to look back at Link before Midna pulled her through the doors. He was still standing at the same spot, watching after her. She gave him a small apologetic smile, and he returned it, winking.

EEK! Writing Zelink fluff is so darn fun! I hope you enjoyed this little segment. You might not realize it, but the plot is moving already!

Also, I have the picture of Hylia that Zelda looked at in the library book. Just check out my profile if you're interested :D

Review, cuz it makes my heart feel warm and fluffy. And the fluffier I feel, the fluffier my writing is. Tempting, huh?
