Whoo! Finishing up Hyrule's War, and now I'm going to focus on The Hyrulean Royal Academy!

Escape= Impossible

It smelled liked chocolate.

That's the first thought that popped into my head when I woke up. I opened my eyes and yawned. I tried to roll over, but I was held in place by someone's arms.

I suddenly remembered where I was and who I was with. Sure enough, when I looked to the side, Link was sleeping next to me. One arm was over my stomach and the other was under my back, keeping me close.

I didn't know if I should panic, or if I should keep calm. I was caught somewhere between the two.

For a while, I just stared at his face. His skin was smooth, almost no blemishes any where. His lips were a light pink color, the kind girls would kill for. His eyelashes were a pale blonde, almost transparent, and unfairly long.

Link's hair was messy. I laughed silently to myself. "He has bed head," I whispered. I tried smoothing out his hair, and brushed some of it off his forehead.

"Do you like my face that much?" Link asked, opening an eye.

I jumped, my face burning. Link laughed. "Good morning, princess," he said. He propped himself up with his elbow. "Sleep well?"

I really wanted to smack the smirk off of his face. "I tried to leave, if you didn't know!"

"Oh? Really?" he asked, still smirking. Dammit. Damn smirk.

I took a pillow and threw it at his face. "Shut up, dumb ass. I'm leaving."

He grabbed my wrist as I started to walk away. "No, don't go yet."

We were still, in that pose for a long time. Then Link smirked again and pulled me. I landed back on the bed, Link holding my wrists.

His smirk was gone, replaced by a stony serious look. "You're not going anywhere. Not this ti–"

"Link, I got your message! What's wrong?"

I looked to the door, where a very surprised and embarrassed Kafei stood. "Fuck," Link muttered. I pushed him off and shoved through Kafei to my room next door.

I slammed the door shut and jumped onto my bed. I buried my face in the pillows. I let out a muffled scream and rolled over to look at the ceiling. "What's going on?"

I was able to avoid Link the rest of the day, but then I remembered that I have every class with him, and he sits right next to me in every class as well.

Isn't that just dandy?

So when class came around on Monday, I glued my eyes to my paper and refused to move them.

I managed to get through English and History without him bothering me. Then Math rolled along.

"Hey, princess," Link whispered, poking me. "Why won't you look at me?"

I looked up only to look at the board, then looked back down to my notes.

"Princess," Link whispered again, "I need help. I don't get this."

I held back a laugh. He doesn't get it? Please! Number one in the school, doesn't get simple algebra. Sure.

"Dammit, talk to me!" he said, louder this time. I glanced at the clock. Only three more minutes until class is over.

"C'mon!" he said, sounding irritated. Two minutes.

"Princess!" One minute.

The bell rang and I bolted out of the classroom. "Zelda!" Link called.

My pace quickened. I just needed to get to my room.

"C'mon, Zelda, I need to talk to you!" Link said, his pace matching mine.

I quickened to a run. I heard Link growl. "You and I have the same exact schedule, and our rooms are right next to each other! You can't run forever!"

I looked around. He was right. There was no escape.

Until I saw the girl's bathroom. I sighed in relief and ran inside. For a second, I thought he would just burst in here anyway, but he didn't. I heard him groan. "Fine, but you can't stay there forever. At least meet me in the library tonight after school."

I waited until I couldn't hear his footsteps anymore, then I took a look outside. He was gone.

Dear Hylia, Din, Nayru, and Farore, and my mother in the heavens,

I have skipped class.

I didn't mean to! I didn't want to! That stupid Link forced me to!

For the first time ever, I have skipped class. I decided to hide out on the roof, off limits to most students, but I have the key. The lock is really hard to pick, so no one can find me.

Truly, a great hiding spot.

But there I was, on top of a roof for the next three hours without anything to do. I didn't bring any books or homework or anything.

"What am I supposed to do?" I asked myself, looking over the balcony.

I sat down on the marble floor. I looked to the sky, and just watched the clouds go by...

I only realized I had fallen asleep when I woke up. The sky was already showered with stars and I figured it was really late.

I stood, rubbing my back (sleeping while sitting up is not good for you), and yawning.

I went back down to my floor and went into my room. Letting out another yawn, I hopped onto my bed.

Why was my bed so firm? And warm? Why was it warm? And why did my bed groan when I jumped on it?

I looked up, only to be greeted by a death glare from Link. I screamed. "Why the hell are you in my room?"

"Well," Link said, sitting up. "I waited for you for hours in the library, and figured you were still avoiding me. So the only place I knew you would definitely go to was your room."

"How did you get in?" I asked, my eyes narrowing.

Link held up a bobby pin. "These locks really aren't much."

I huffed. "Well, can you get out now?"

He shook his head. "I still need to talk to you," he said, coughing.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine! Now, about this morning. I- I- I..." Link tried to say, but cut himself off with a few sneezes.

"You're not okay, c'mon, let's get to your room," I said, sighing.

Link collapsed onto my bed, groaning. "Can't. Sick. Urhg..."

"You can't stay here!" I yelled. "Get out!"

"C'mon, princess, I'm sick. Can't you pity an ill man?"

I rolled my eyes. "If you have the energy to joke around, you have the energy to get back into your own damn room."

Link smirked. Damn smirk. "You're still my slave, aren't you?"

I froze then huffed. "Fine, what do you want?"

Link tapped his chin. "Nurse me."

"Specifics, please?"

He rolled his eyes. "Find a nurse outfit and parade around in it."

I felt my face heat up. "Are– Are you serious?"

He laughed, followed by coughs. "No, stupid. Make me some soup or something."

"Do you really think I just have soup lying around my room?" I said, angrily. "If you want chips or cookies, I'm your gal."

He was silent for a second, then held out his arms. "Come here."

"What?"

"I need warmth. Come here."

I took in a breath. I slowly walked over to the bed. Link chuckled. "No need to put on an 'end of the world' face."

"Shut up!" I yelled, slapping his arm. I laid myself down on the edge of the bed, a good five inches away from Link.

"I said 'here,' princess."

I bit my bottom lip and rolled over so I was closer to him, my face burning. I felt his forehead. If I was burning, Link was twice as bad. And this was because he was sick.

I was able to calm down a bit, knowing that. He might as well be delusional at this point. Good. I can sleep now.

"Prin– Zelda?"

My eyes snapped open, surprised hearing my name in his voice. "Y-yes?"

"I... I... Nah. Never mind. Not right now," Link said, starting to giggle.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked.

"Because it's so obvious, but you still don't get it."

"Get what?"

Link stopped laughing and looked me straight in the eye. "If you can't figure that out on your own, I shouldn't even bother."

He closed his eyes and was silent. I probably wasn't red then. I was most likely maroon.

For hours, I laid there, unable to fall asleep.

"Mmmnn..." Link sighed. "Marin..."

My heart stopped for a second. Who's Marin? I feel like I know her...

"Marin... I miss you..."

DONE!

You all know Marin, right? Well, yep. Link misses her. Yes.

Eh... I haven't been able to write lately. The usual excuses: writer's block, no laptop, testing. You've heard this all before.

Oh, and just letting you know, I'm turning off anon reviews. I want to be able to reply to everyone from now on, and I can only do that with signed reviews. Sorry, just a little thing of mine that I've been wanting to do for a while.
