For the most of the whole entire day today I barely even saw Toon Zelda once...that's fine though, I spent the most of the day with Aryll anyways. We had soooo much fun together earlier. First I was teaching her how to play the harp, then she got kind of exhausted, and she fell asleep on my lap...how cute is that!!!
After she fell asleep I carried her to Toon Link's room and put her down on Yoshi's bed, since he went back to his Island at the beginning of the break. While she was sleeping I started talking to Toon Link and somehow that whole confession to Peach thing came up. It's like I couldn't escape it, it literally seems to follow me around.
"Hey Zelda...that whole thing...with Peach and Link...I heard it was just a misunderstanding..." he said avoiding eye contact with me.
"Oh...of course you're going to say that...you've talked to Peach...haven't you..." I replied, wondering what he meant by 'misunderstanding'.
"Well to be honest I rarely even speak to Peach...I actually spoke to Link...before this whole thing happened..."
"Wait...what...I'm confused, what does you talking to Link before this whole situation have to do with anything..."
"Zelda...Link told me who he likes before...trust me...it's not Peach..."
"But...but...he confessed..."
He shook his head, turning to look me directly in the eyes. "No...he didn't confess...yea from what you heard, it sounded like he confesses, but trust me...I know Link, he didn't confess to Peach..."
"What does Link telling you who he likes have to do with this situation...you're really confusing me..."
"Ok. Let me explain. Do you remember the day you asked Link if you could stay in his room with him?"
"Yea...but how do you know about that?"
"Calm down...I'm getting there. So the day that you asked him and he said yes...as soon as you left he rushed to see me and ask if he could stay here with me..."
"But...he said that..."
"Yes. I know that he told you that he was already staying with me but, yea he did lie, but it was for a perfectly logical reason. He didn't want to turn you down...Zelda...he doesn't like Peach...he loves you..."
"What...this makes no sense...h-he loves me..." I said a little loudly, turning around as Aryll stirred in her sleep, lowering my voice to try and not wake her up. "It can't be...I heard him confess..."
"Zelda...from what I learned about him, I know he's not really a 'people' person as they say, most of his life he'd been a farm hand and barely interacted with people...I'm pretty sure you've noticed before...sometimes he barely even knows what to say so he just stays quiet..."
Link...not knowing what to say about something...that's really interesting, but I guess I can relate...I'm not really a 'people' person either...I guess our little bit of interactions with people have really negatively effected the both of us...
"So what you're trying to tell me is...what happened isn't what I thought happened..."
"Yea...pretty much...for what I heard I think he was just asking Peach for advice on what to say...since I'm pretty sure she knows you better than anyone else.."
His last remark made me think a bit...maybe he really was just asking Peach for advice on what to say...realizing all I had left to do I quickly stood up and began walking to the door.
"Thanks Toon...I'm really glad you cleared this up for me..." I said opening it and running into the hallway.
Where could they be...most importantly, where could he be...
I quickly started running around the school, looking for a sign of either of them when I almost ran directly into Toon Zelda...
"Zelda...just the person I was looking for...I need to talk to you about something..." she began but was suddenly cut off by me.
"Yea...I already know what you want to talk to me about...and I already know what happened...it was all a misunderstanding...do you know where Link is..." I said kinda frantically.
"Um...yea, he should be in his room, why?"
I ran the rest of the way there without stopping once until I reached the door. I knocked three times, just the way I had did only a few days ago, waiting for a response.
A very depressed sounding Link shouted from the other side of the door "go away...I'm not really in the mood for seeing anyone right now..."
Now knowing that he was indeed in his room I twisted the doorknob, finding it unlocked, and walked inside.
As soon as I walked inside he quickly stood up and began trying to explain what happened...
"Zel...I know that you're kind of upset with me at the moment and you probably wouldn't want to hear this, especially from me, but it's not what it seemed like..."
I playfully brushed a lock of his dirty blond hair away from his eyes before leaning in and kissing him...
Gently pulling away I see him turn away from me, hiding his blush as best as he could.
"Link...I already know what happened...and to be honest...I love you too..."
