Hey guys! The reason I'm posting this story so soon is because on Monday, I'll go on a holiday, so that means I can't post or write for a week. Somebody asked me if I would be so open to a stranger like Zelda and Midna were, and honestly, I would! Now that I think of it, this Zelda is a lot like me… But I'm sorry if that seemed weird :) I see Midna as an open person, so yeah! I also want to tell you guys that suggestions are always welcome. Anyway there were so many sweet reviews! Thanks to BlueFrenchHorn97, ShadowNinja1011, bubblegum12899, Hanyoualchemist1, Henryka, SxDsX and ZeldaFan for reviewing! And thanks to the lovely BlueFrenchHorn97 for beta reading.
The place Midna wanted to go to was very close to the apartment. I was happy I met her. I felt good when I was with her, and I thought that we even could become good friends. We walked into the restaurant and Midna scanned the environment to find her boyfriend and his friend. She must have found them, because she started waving at two guys sitting at a table. We walked over to them, and Midna greeted the guy who was presumably her boyfriend with a kiss. Her boyfriend was a tall, muscular guy with blond hair and blood red eyes. His friend was a bit smaller and also had blond hair, but he had beautiful cobalt blue eyes. He looked… interesting….
"This is my boyfriend; Sheik," Midna said, putting her arm around his waist, "And this is his roommate Link," she continued, gesturing to the boy with the blue eyes.
"Hi, I'm Zelda," I said, a little bit nervous about the look Link was giving me.
"So how do you two know each other?" Sheik asked.
Midna smiled to me. "Well, I found her in the middle of the city and she was totally lost!" She continues to speak with Sheik about me when Link gestured we sat down on the bench. He sat down in front of me, and Midna sat down beside me.
"So, where do you come from?" Link asked me, his blue eyes looking at me.
"Kakariko Village," I replied.
"That's in the Eldin Province, right?" He asked.
"Yeah!" I said, curious by his knowledge. "How do you know that? Not many people do."
"I was pretty good at history and geography in high school," he said, smiling.
"Me too!" I said, smiling back.
"Looks like you two get along pretty well huh?" Midna said, smiling to me.
I blushed slightly and looked down so no one noticed.
"We have the same interests," Link said, smiling at me. "What else do you like, Zelda?"
I was bewitched by how he pronounced my name. It wasn't weird or anything, but it just felt… nice when he said it. "Err, I like watching movies, reading and-"
"Eww you like reading?" Sheik said.
"Let her finish!" Midna said, poking him.
"I like video games too," I admitted. A lot of people bullied me at school because I was so boring. I didn't like to party. I just liked sitting alone with a good book or a good video game.
"That's awesome! A girl who games!" Sheik yelled. "Midna never wants to play video games with me…" Sheik said, pouting.
Midna reached out for him and poked him again. "That's because you only play silly shooters!"
"Well, I like all those things too," Link said.
I smiled. I felt something weird in my belly. It felt like thousands blessed butterflies were swarming around in my tummy. Could this be happening to me?
"Welcome to café bar. What do you want to order?" a bored looking lady asked.
We all ordered something from the menu and the waitress left. While waiting for our food, I learned that Link didn't come from the city, but from Kokiri Village. His parents died when he was very young, and he and his grandmother had moved to the city together. At school, he had met Sheik and later on Midna, and they were friends now for about 16 years. I was very interested about his story, but when our food arrived he asked about mine.
"It's not that interesting. I just lived with my parents in a small village. And I had some friends. Nothing more really," I said. My life had always been rather boring, and maybe that's why I wanted to move to the city so badly. He didn't ask me further about it, which I was glad about.
The food was delicious, and I made a note to myself that I should come here more often. As a dessert, we all had some Deku Nut cake, except for Midna, who drank a cup of Zora Coffee. Midna insisted that she would pay for me, because I was new here. I never liked it when people wanted to pay for me, but I conceded and let her pay it.
"This was fun!" Midna said when we were walking back to our apartment. Sheik and Link's place was only a couple of buildings away from us.
"Yeah! You should invite Zelda more often," Sheik said, smiling at me and patting me on my back.
"I'm glad I have found some friends already," I admitted.
"And we are glad Midna has found you," Link said, smiling at me.
I blushed, again. This guy sure knew how to make me blushing!
"I was thinking that we should go to see the new Oz the great and powerful!" Midna said.
"Sounds great!" Link said.
"Want to come Zelda?" Midna asked me.
I nodded. "Sure!"
Midna smiled. "Great! That's set then. Around eight o'clock?"
"Fine by me," Link said.
We had arrived at our apartment, and Midna and Sheik gave each other a long good bye kiss, which resulted in me and Link standing awkwardly.
"Well… I'll see you tomorrow then," Link said.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow," I repeated.
When Sheik and Midna where done with their thing, Midna and I went inside and up in the elevator.
"So, how long have you guys been together?" I asked.
"About four years I guess," Midna said.
"Wow. That's long," I muttered.
"Yeah! What about you? Got a boyfriend back home?" She asked.
"No, never had one actually," I admitted.
"What? You're such a pretty girl!" Midna said in disbelief.
I blushed. Goddess, city people were very open.
"Thanks…" I muttered, staring at the ground. The elevator had arrived at our floor and I said goodbye to Midna.
Inside, I threw my bag and my jacket onto the kitchen table and I walked to my bedroom. I searched for my pyjamas, which were lying at the bottom of my closet. I changed and lay down on my bed. I still had a lot of things to do, but I could make this work. This day had been so crazy, but I was so happy about it. Sheik and especially Midna were amazing. And Link? I didn't know what to think about him. I liked him; that was for sure. But what I wasn't sure in what way I liked him…
