I'm sorry I didn't update when I promised :/ My wi-fi used to work and then it took an arrow to router… Hope this is worth the wait :)
Chapter Five: To Have Been Where I Have Been
The couple slowly entered the upper Academy door as the Skyloft sun disappeared from view. Walking slowly down the hallway, they came to a stop in front of Zelda's door.
"I had a great time tonight." Link looked at his girlfriend reverently.
"Me too. I'm really glad to be going steady with you, but you know Groose is going to have something to sa-"
The boy shook his head. "I've dealt with Ghirahim, Demise, and various other ghouls on the surface. I'm pretty sure I can deal with one tubby ginger."
"Good." Zelda breathed a sigh of relief and kissed Link on the cheek. "Goodnight, boyfriend."
Link opened the door to her room for her. "See you in the morning, girlfriend." He smiled and shut the door.
With his hands in his pocket, he sauntered down the hall and staircase thinking about the dramatic change in his life. He had woken up that morning with regrets, remembering the girl he left. He was about to go to sleep with that girl as his girlfriend. He had to defeat hundreds upon hundreds of creatures of all types and make the love of his life cry to gain the courage to tell her how he felt. It was a crazy route to get here, he thought, but I wouldn't change a thing.
Link arrived at his room and was greeted by a surprise. The large redhead he had just been talking about with Zelda was leaning against his door.
"Speak of the devil…" Link muttered under his breath as Groose approached him with a demented smile.
"So. You and Zelda." Just with his size, he could intimidate Link without even trying. It didn't help that he was standing mere inches away from him.
"Hey man! You need to back off! She loves ME!" Link sneered in a failed attempt at counter intimidation.
"Oh yeah?" Groose cracked his knuckles.
"Yeah! You mad your little crush got an upgrade?"
"No, man!" Groose laughed. "I was just messing with you! You guys have my blessing."
"Oh." Link forced an awkward laugh.
'"I've got my eyes on someone else now anyway." A mischievous smirk crawled onto his face.
"Dude, you know Karane and Pipit are together."
"Who said it's Karane? Who said she even goes to the Academy?"
"You and Orielle?" Link was shocked.
"Nope."
"Peatrice?"
"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!"
"The only other girl in town even relatively close to our age in town is Kukiel and she's like seven. That's sick, man."
"Link! Kukiel is my freakin' cousin!"
"Oh!" Link chortled. "Well then who the crap is it?"
Groose leaned close to Link and lowered his voice. "I haven't even told my boys yet, but it's Pipit's mom. Don't be spreadin' that around. Okay?"
"That's his mom, man!" Link was outraged and amused at the same time.
"What can I say? She's a sexy widow. I'm attracted to her." Groose shrugged and let out a rumbling laugh.
"I need to get some sleep." Link shook his head.
"Me too." Groose, still laughing, strutted down the hall into his room.
Link entered his own room and immediately dropped his shield and leapt onto the bed. What a crazy day I've had, he thought, but it was all so worth it in the end.
And that was how it went on. Zelda and Link went through their days normally and became the school's new it couple. Nothing went terribly wrong and nothing went terribly right. The two just stayed in Skyloft and continued their flawlessly screwed-up relationship, falling more in love each day. About a month after their initial date, another opportunity for them to go out together arose.
One afternoon, Zelda and Karane walked to Flight Theory together.
"So you and Link have been dating for about a month now and he's only taken you out once?"
"Yes Kay, but that kind of stuff isn't really important to me." Zelda reminisced on their first date. It had been pretty nice…
"Well, it should be!" Karane scoffed. "Tell you what. Me and Pip are going over to Fun Fun Island tonight. Let's make it a double date."
"What? No… The boys would never go for that!"
"Yes they would! You are the biggest thing standing in our way! For me, Zel?" Karane stuck out her bottom lip and batted her thick red eyelashes.
"Alright, alright." Zelda sighed, though she was actually very excited on the inside.
Karane laughed victoriously as the two turned into the classroom. Owlan stood at the front quietly drawing some sort of diagram on the board. A few students were scattered around the classroom, including Link who had taken his usual seat in the back right corner and was preparing for a nap. The girls set the stuff on the two front and center desks. Karane sat down as Zelda slipped to the back tapping her boyfriend on the shoulder. He lifted his head.
"Oh. Hey Zelda." He sleepily smiled.
"Hey Link." She giggled. "I was just wondering if you wanted to go on a double date with Kay and Pip tonight."
"Where to?" Link yawned.
"Fun Fun Island."
"Sure. I haven't been there in forever."
"Good." Zelda smiled and slowly combed her fingers through his thick dirty blond hair. "Get some rest. I'll see you after class."
Link nodded and brought his head to rest on the table before him once again.
I love that crazy boy, Zelda thought with a smile as she walked back to her seat. Throughout the whole period, Owlan thought she was listening intently and taking insanely detailed notes when she was actually daydreaming and writing Zelda loves Link in as many different ways as she could on her paper. She excitedly awaited the event of the night with an eager patience and a nervous energy.
So that was the long awaited update xD What did you think about it? Review, follow, favorite, PM: you know the drill. Also, please check out my bio. I just updated it :) This chapter was mostly fluff, but don't worry. It's building up to something real good. Real, REAL good! Ha ha. Just kidding. It is building up to something, but that was a little dramatic. Have a great day guys and enjoy the Olympics! I'm usually rooting for whoever is playing Team USA (I'm often called unpatriotic, but most of the American athletes are so stuck up, I cannot stand them! I love both the men's and women's gymnastics team, though. Michael Phelps just pissses me off!), Great Britain, Jamaica and Team China. (You might be thinking megurinewindwaker, why would you root for China? You are not even Asian, much less Chinese! They win everything so why not root for them?)
I had a really hard time thinking of a title for this chapter because it was so fluffy and nothing bad or even extremely interesting happened. It actually took me longer to think of the title than to write the actual passage, but I finally did while listening to an old iPod of mine. This chapter's title comes from the song Lucky by Jason Mraz. It perfectly describes where Zelda and Link are right now. Everything is just too good to be true :)
