"Link, I will definitely try to forgive you, but you'll have to give me some time. I believe you, but it's hard to just forgive you and forget everything that happened," I said, giving him a soft smile.
He smiled back. "That's all I'll ever ask for. Thank you, Zelda, for giving me a chance. And I'll give you all the time you need."
I nodded. "Thanks." I was wondering how our relationship would be from this point onwards. Would we be a couple? Did we even ever break up? We had to make everything clear for each other, no matter what. I just wanted to start talking about it when I heard Midna call my name.
"Zelda?" she yelled.
"Shoot," I sighed.
"She doesn't know you wanted to talk to me, does she?" Link asked, looking at me.
"No, not really. And she won't be happy when she finds out, which won't take her long," I replied.
I was right. Midna opened my door and when she saw Link sitting next to me, she dashed over to us, Sheik following behind her.
"What are you doing here?" she asked him demandingly.
I looked her straight in the eyes. "Midna, let him be. I called him over and asked him if he wanted to talk. I let him explain everything. And if you let him, he'll explain it to you too. Right Link?"
Link nodded heavily. "Of course I will." And so he began. He explained everything exact the same way he did to me. Midna's expression still showed a little bit of anger, but now was the first moment she showed how hard it had been for her too. It was one of her best friends too after all. Sheik seemed to understand and believed everything he said. The two of them both knew how bad Link was at lying. They would have figured him out by now if he was. He wasn't.
After he was done with his explanation, Midna continued to look at him and nodded. "I believe you."
"Me too Link. I knew you weren't like that," Sheik said, smiling at Link.
I glanced at Midna. She looked a bit guilty. "I guess I knew it too. I was just really mad you know. Zelda was my first real girl best friend and then something like that happened to her. I guess for that moment it didn't matter to me that it was you. I would have done the same to every guy that did something to her like that. I'm sorry for yelling so much at you and that I never gave you a chance to explain."
Link nodded. "I'm just very glad you all believe me."
I was glad that everything was fine again, sort of. It would take me some time to get that horrible image of him and Ruto erased out of my memory. But I still loved him, that was for sure. But as I said, we still had to figure out our relationship. Midna seemed to understand the look on my face because she softly pulled Sheik away and headed for her own apartment.
I sighed. I didn't really want to start about it, but someone had to do it. "How are things between us now?" I asked hesitatingly.
He looked down, unsure what to say. "I don't really know…We err… never really broke up, did we…"
"No…" I replied.
"Do you still want to be together? Despite everything I have done?" he asked, looking in my eyes. He kind of overwhelmed me with that question. I really wanted to, but it sounded so quick…
"Of course I want that. But it sounds a bit quick don't you think?" I asked him.
He looked a bit disappointed. "Oh. Yeah, I guess. No, I understand. What if I give you some space and time, so you can think about everything and make up your mind? And when you finally decide, will you call me? "
I nodded and smiled. "That sounds like an excellent plan to me."
"Good. See you then?" Link asked.
"Of course," I said. I let Link out, and went to tell Midna all about it. She and Sheik both agreed with me that it was a good idea, and that I would just live back in my own apartment. There, I called Malon and Saria and explained them everything. At first, they were both a bit mad for me not letting them know anything for about a week. That quickly changed into disbelief and finally, relief, because everything turned out pretty well. I promised to call them a lot more to keep them informed about how it was going between me and Link. I was glad I spoke to them, and it felt like a large weight fell off my shoulders. Everything was going to be fine.
A lot of time had passed, and I had had plenty of time to think. I had needed it, to be honest. In the time I had to think, I had considered every possible scenario and ideas I had. But now, I had the feeling that what I was going to do was right. I had thought about it multiple times, and I knew that I had finally made the right choice. I was able to forget most of the things that had happened, and I continually held onto the things Link had said. I had analyzed every word he had said and came to the conclusion that I could forgive him. And that I would. I truly loved him, and he truly loved me. My cheesy thoughts from the beginning were coming back, but I didn't let them in my head as quick as I had done before. Link was just a human being, and he had his flaws, just like anyone else. I was going to do what was right, and with that thought I took my phone and called him.
"Hi. I made my decision. Can you come over please?" I asked.
"Of course. See you in five minutes," he replied.
I was ready for it when he knocked on my door.
I let him in and we sat down on my couch. He noticeably sat much closer than he did last time, but I didn't mind. I told him everything exactly as I had it in my head, and he listened carefully to what I had to say. He never interrupted; he only gave me some encouraging nods.
When I finished he only smiled. "I knew you would understand me. And I'm glad you can forgive me. Together we can forget everything and just have an amazing time together."
"Sounds like a perfect plan to me," I said, smiling and looking into his beautiful cobalt blue eyes. "I love you Link."
"I love you too Zelda. I always will," he said and he pulled me into a kiss. It had been in a while since we had kissed, and to admit, I kind of had missed it. I loved Link, even if he wasn't perfect. That never mattered to me. What did matter was just this moment, just him and me.
So! That was it. I hope the end wasn't too cliché or rushed. I just love good endings, and this story was no exception. This story reached over a hundred reviews, and over 4200 views. That's so freakin' much! Now, here comes the long thank you parade :D I love each and one of you so much! You all encouraged me to continue with this story, even when I got some pretty bad criticism.

And of course, the biggest thank you of them all goes to my super-duper awesome beta reader BlueFrenchHorn97! You are supermegafoxyawesomehot!
In case you didn't know, I'm a beta reader myself :p you can check out my beta profile if you need one!
And if you're bored, please check out my other stories and a story in particular on BFH97's page. It's a collab between her, Princesscharmingknight and me! It's called Adventure in Skyloft. You can also follow me on twitter! HelloFranne
Now, I need you all to do something for me. First, I want to ask you to vote on my poll on my profile so I can see what you would like to see from me in the future. Secondly, I have a new idea for a new story. It's going to be an Ocarina of Time story in where you follow Zelda on her quest as Sheik. So it's not a modern Hyrule one, no. But since there isn't much known about the Sheikah, or how Zelda transformed into Sheik, if you know something about those things that's not on ZeldaWiki or something, feel free to tell me. I also don't have a title for that one; I'm very bad at that. So if you know an awesome title, or something cool about the Sheikah, feel free to tell me!
That's it, until the next time!
Lots of love,
Franne
