When we were fifteen
LINKS POV
When I was fifteen, I fell in love with a girl. Who? Well, she has blonde hair and blue eyes and I still love her. Did you guess Zelda? If you did you are correct.
Ah, Zelda. The apple to my eye. The jump in my step. The spark in my life. Why else would I go to save her? Sit back and let the girl I love be taken away forever or go rescue her? That was easy.
But how did I come to fall in love with such a girl? Well, I always did love her, but it was a best friend kind of love. But to fall in love? That happened when I was fifteen, and this is how it all went down.
It was one of those unusual days of weather at Skyloft. Pouring down rain. This typically doesn't happen, but on that day it was. Some of the people love seeing this and let their children go to play in it. Others see it as a punishment from the goddesses. But however people saw it, it never really happens.
It wasn't a small sprinkle either. This was a torrential downpour of water. It doesn't rain too often so raincoats and umbrellas weren't too available. Only a few people had them for decoration. Many people did have parasols, though. However, they weren't built for rain. But, people did have to get out and do work. Skyloft couldn't stop for a rain shower.
I awoke that morning to find my window open. Rain was pouring in and ruining things on my desk. I jumped up and closed the window. I tried to clean my desk. Among the things ruined were homework assignments, a few pictures, and my pouch. It was soaked all the way through. Then, I realized my feet were wet. I looked down to find my floor flooded. The day that had just begun was continuously getting worse. I had to get towels. I slammed open my door.
"OW!" shrieked a girly voice. I pulled back the door to find Zelda on the other side of it. Her face was faced downward and her hand was clutched to it. Yep, it was definitely ten times worse.
"I am so so so so sorry, Zelda! I didn't mean to throw the door open and hit you!" I apologized.
She looked up and brought her hand down to reveal blood. Of course, I gave her a bloody nose. The day kept getting worse.
"It's okay," she fake laughed. "It is only a little blood." She looked into my room. "I'll take care of myself and you start cleaning."
"Are you sure? I mean I could-" People just love to interrupt me.
"Link, there is water everywhere. Hurry up!" she told me and then went back upstairs.
I found some towels and commenced to soak up water. I looked out the window to see the rain fall harder. It was loud, too.
I finished and took the towels back to be cleaned. On my way back to my room, I saw Zelda with a white bandage at her nose. She was like a little porcelain doll, very fragile and delicate, yet beautiful. But if you are not careful, the doll will break. I had just broken my doll.
I mean my Zelda.
I mean, well you know what I mean. I broke her nose.
I walked up to her. "Oooh. I am so sorry! I did not mean to break it. Zelda, forgive me!"
She laughed. "Link, I know it was an accident. You are forgiven."
We then proceeded to class without breakfast. We had both missed it. That morning we had History of the Knights class. My worst one. The students were given their tests back. Zelda had made a perfect score. Me? I barely passed. My day got worse.
Groose? Near perfect score. My day got a lot worse.
Zelda gave me a sympathetic look. I hate it when people feel bad for me. I don't know why, I just do.
I didn't pay attention to the lecture, which was why I failed that course. However, I did hear the professor call out the break for lunch.
Very few people went out for lunch. Zelda and I had stayed and ate lunch at the Academy. We sat at a table and began to eat.
"So, Link," Groose started as he sauntered over to us with his little friends. "When did you start to beat up girls?"
"I didn't hit her on purpose," I rebounded while standing up.
"So, you did hit her," Groose shot back. "Geez, I know your parents are dead, but didn't they raise you right?"
That one hurt. No one is to badmouth my parents in such a way. My day was a wreck.
I was about to say something when Zelda stood up, too.
"Listen, Groose," she told him. "We don't want any-" By that time, I had thrown my cup of water at him.
Yeah, he punched me in the nose. I put my hand up to my nose to find blood smeared on it.
"Come on, Groose! Let's leave," Cawlin advised. And with that they left.
"Let's get your nose fixed," Zelda told me. I nodded and we went to Karine. She was very good at setting wounds.
"This might hurt a little," she told me. She took my nose and shifted it into place. And it did hurt. "Now, I will place a bandage on it and you are done."
After that, Zelda and I left. She looked at me and laughed.
"What?" I asked.
"We have matching noses," she said giggling.
I smiled. "Yeah, I guess we do."
By then, the break for lunch was over and classes were beginning to start. So, we headed down for class. The professor had written on the board that class was cancelled. My day was a little better.
"Great, Link," Zelda started. "Now, we can do whatever we want to do!"
"Except go outside."
"Tell me, Link have you ever danced in the rain?" She asked me with a look of a plan in her eyes and a smile.
"No."
"Well, we can both find out together," she took my hand and began to run to the door.
"Do you want to get a coat?" I asked before we reached the door.
"No," she told me excitedly.
We made it outside to find that the rain was pouring pretty hard.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I yelled over the rain.
"You're right!" she exclaimed.
"Thank you," I turned to go back inside, but she grabbed my hand.
She took me to the area by the waterfall. "This is much prettier."
I looked at her and saw the rain paint her cheeks and hair. Zelda had never looked more beautiful than in that moment.
"You said something about dancing?" I asked her.
"Right!"
We began to dance. It reminded me of the time when we were thirteen. But that moment in the rain was very special.
"Told you it would be fun," she said resting her head on my chest.
"Yeah, it is fun," I replied back to her.
I looked down and brushed the wet hair out of her eyes. I stared into her eyes while she returned the favor.
"Link?" she asked.
"What?"
"Have you ever kissed someone in the rain?"
So, I leaned down and kissed her. Yes, I had kissed her before and yes when I was fourteen I nearly made out with her. But this simple kiss in the rain was perfect. It was not overdone. It was not underdone, either. But perfect.
I pulled back and looked into her eyes.
"Now I have," I told her as we continued to dance.
And from that moment on, I was in love with her.
Ok, it was cheesy. But I literally sat I front of my computer trying to figure out how to write this chapter. And I like the rain. So it played out quite nicely. I admit to it being cliché, though.
Review, please?
Salut, tout le monde!
