I don't own The Legend of Zelda, only this story idea.
Previously:
Suddenly a strong wind picked up, bringing a chilling gust with it. We suddenly noticed the cause; dark clouds had started to appear on the sky, soon covering the warm sun. It happened fast, and now it was too late to turn back. Links belongings where nowhere in sight and even less our camp.
We made for the shore. The air smelled heavily of rain and it didn't take long for the first raindrop to fall.
Goose bumps appeared on my skin as the temperature dropped and the disappearance of the sun. The drops felt like ice and my wet clothes clang to me coldly. When we walked on land again a lightning pierced the horizon and thunder began to roar.
"This way!" Links shouted over the heavy raindrops and rumble and pointed towards a Cliffside. He looked cold too, without his tunic or anything on his upper body he had no cover towards the harsh droplets.
I hurried after him and he led us into a cave on the shore by the waters side that could give us shelter from the thunderstorm, but it was still cold. Very cold.
The cave wasn't very big nor deep, but it was big enough for both of us to fit inside without any problem. Most important was that it could give us shelter until the thunderstorm was over. I knew it wasn't totally safe from the lightning but it was at least better than being out in the open or in the water.
We sat down beside each other in the dimly cave and rested our backs against the rough stone wall. Outside the heavens roared; the wind, rain and thunder trying to drown out the other sounds. Because Link didn't have the equipment with him we couldn't make a small fireplace to warm us.
We sat in silence for a while, listening to the natures upset melody. I gazed at Link. Before when we were in the water it hadn't really mattered because water had covered almost our whole bodies, but know it was nothing to hide his fit, well trained body. It made me slightly nervous to be this close to him.
"Skye…" Link suddenly began. "When I first meet you I got this weird feeling. It felt as if I already knew you. I don't know why though…"
"Really?" I asked "Me too! I felt the same when I first saw you" I said as I smiled at him. It was partly true, but I couldn't tell him that I actually did know about him and this world before I got here.
"What, you too?" He smiled. "Some things really are strange don't you think?"
"Yeah" I agreed.
"Hey, are you cold?" He asked, his warm eyes got a concerned expression. My clothes had begun to dry but where still damp. I sat curled into a ball to try and stay warm but it wasn't really working. "You're shivering"
"Yeah a little" I smiled tentatively "Aren't you cold? You wear even less clothes than me"
"You know" he said and he suddenly looked shy, a slight blush spreading onto his cheeks. "Maybe it'll get warmer if we get even closer to each other?"
I felt how my whole face grew hot and I knew I must have blushed to.
"M-maybe?" I stuttered, suddenly finding it hard to even utter that single word. The thought to get even closer to this handsome, topless young man made my head spin. Link carefully put his arm around me and the butterflies inside my stomach seemed to somersault.
I hesitated at first, but then I shyly wrapped my arms around him in a hug, which he returned. We sat like that and waited out the storm.
Once again I felt safe and calm in his arms. The storm outside felt less threatening. Nothing could hurt me. I closed my eyes and felt out hearts beat in a synchronized symphony.
It actually felt warmer after a while. Either it was the work of my frenetic beating heart in the beginning or our shared body heat. It was probably a work of both.
It was quite dim inside but finally it started to get lighter. We listened, the roaring sound fading until the birds began to chirp up and rays of light shone outside the cave.
We slowly let go and rose. We walked out from the cave and into the sun who started to warm again. Carefully we began to walk beside each other along the side of the cliff and further along the stony shore.
The cliffs was still wet from the rain so we walked slowly, carefully not to slip and fall. Some of them had begun to dry, the water evaporating in the sunlight.
Despite being careful I managed to slip. A gasp escaped my lips, but before I would fall down and collide with the hard stone beneath a strong hand took a hold of my arm, preventing me from falling and to regain my balance again.
"Careful" he said.
"Thanks…" I smiled at him.
"No problem. I told you I'll always got your back" he said. I blushed at the memory from the day before:
"…I promise that I will always protect you".
He didn't let me go, instead his hand traveled down to my hand and I happily held it in mine. We wandered back along the shore hand in hand. It felt great to know that he always would be there to catch me if I fell. And that I would do the same for him. Now and always.
Please leave a review, favorite and follow. I'll be very happy if you do. :)
Thank you so much for reading! Take care and have a nice day/night! :3
