The Love that Ties us Together

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Zelda or anything. I wrote this out of mere enjoyment.
Link slowly woke up in a room he had never seen before. The walls were pink and the bed he was laying sideways on was pink as well. There were curly silver letters above the bed the formed the word, Zelda. Oh my god! Link thought. How in the world did I end up sleeping sideways on princess Zelda's bed? Then he suddenly recalled the night before. Zelda was sitting in her bed reading her book while Link sat on the side of the bed talking about how they were going to get through the Spirit Temple. No biggie. Link thought to himself. We were just tired and fell asleep. Then Zelda began to stir. Her legs were perpendicular with his head. Oh shit, thought Link, if Zelda finds me in her bed, she's going to take me as some sort of pervert!
Link rushed down the stairs to find the King and a total stranger eating lunch. "Good morning Sir Link! Or should I say, good afternoon!" The King chuckled to himself, "Both you and Zelda are sleeping in extremely late!" the King stopped for a moment then said, "Pardon me but I'm noticing that your hat is missing."
Link immediately put his hands on his head only to find out that the King was right. He left his hat in Zelda's room! He turned to go retrieve it, but the King pulled out a chair first.
"Never mind the hat, you may get it later. What I am really wondering is where did you go last night? The castle maid came into your room quietly this morning to pick up dirty clothes or sheets, but your bed was untouched. Where were you?" The King asked as he took a polite bite of his soup.
"Well… I… um…" Link quickly tried to make up an excuse, "I snuck out to go and visit my girlfriend." He lied, "I took my horse Epona and rode all the way back to Gerudo Fortress to say goodbye, spent the night, and by the time I got back it was already the afternoon. I guess my hat fell off."
The King looked surprised, "Wow! Then you are a sneaky little boy aren't you." He let out another little chuckle, "This castle has the top guarding system in the world! Well, I suppose there are some weaker points of security in the castle-"
"LINK!" He heard a voice shriek. "Link! Why in the world is your hat and all of your other weapons in my room!?" He turned to see Zelda stomping down the stairs into the dining hall. She threw his hat at him and shouted, "Explain yourself!"
Link felt his ears turn bright red as he heard the King chuckle yet again, "Went out to see your girlfriend eh?" He noticed the stranger across the table stiffen and shift uncomfortably in his seat.
"Oh!" exclaimed the King, "I haven't introduced you to Sadon! Zelda, Link, this is Prince Sadon."
"How do you do?" Prince Sadon asked.
Princess Zelda looked at Sadon surprisingly. Prince Sadon actually looked quite handsome. He had a flawless face, a small nose, and thick red hair. He wore blue armor, a blue cape, and had a blue band tied around his head. She also noticed the long sword on his back. Then she remembered something else.
"Link, why in the world was your stuff in my bedroom?"
"You don't remember anything about last night? You were sitting in your bed reading a book while I was sitting on the side talking about our plan to get through the Spirit Temple. I guess we both just fell asleep." Link explained.
"Oh. Okay, makes sense." said Zelda slowly, making it obvious that she was referring to last night's fight.
Link made his hands into fists and said through his teeth, "I need to run a few errands," Then began to walk away.
"Wait, Link! You haven't eaten any lunch yet!" exclaimed the King.
"Oh don't worry; I can get lunch where I'm going." Link replied.
He slowly walked past the stable, where Epona whinnied loudly. "Sorry girl," he said to the red horse, "I'm just going to walk there on foot." As he exited the castle, made his way through the town, and walked across Hyrule field.
