A/N: Alright guys, after my short fic yesterday, I thought I might try making a Zelda fic that's a little longer. I want to apologize for any errors and typos in my fics as I don't have a pc... I've been writing everything on my android and the app sometimes doesn't cooperate with me lol.
The rain outside kept a steady rhythm on the roof of Link's house. Though he no longer lived in the Kokiri Forest, his new house kept the likeness of his forest home, and was well away from Hyrule Town. It was something he had insisted on upon returning from his dangerous adventure, when the King of Hyrule had offered him a house in the village. He suppossed he would always miss the forest that took care of him as a child, but things were different now and he could honeslty say he was happy. The slender, naked figure next to him stirred sleepily. He smiled fondly. She was more beautiful than anyone or anything he had ever seen. Her blond hair was so light and soft and smelled of flowers. He loved burying his face in her long tresses and just staying there. Her smooth, fair skin was like porcelain andand felt like silk to his fingers. She was like a goddess who walked the earth and she was his. His Zelda, his princess... his love. She opened her big blue eyes and yawned, stretching her arms. This action caused the blanket to slide down her slim torso, revealing her perfect breasts to him. He grinned. Chuckling, she pulled the covers up to her neck.
"What are you looking at?" she murmured.
"You. Your boobs" Link replied lazily, falling back on the pillow, and pulling Zelda close.
"What time is it?" she asked, curling up against his chest.
"I don't know... a little past noon" Link replied, smelling her hair. "Does it matter?"
"Yes it matters! I can't be missed for long periods of time... my father would start asking awkward questions" Zelda answered, smiling a little.
And it was true. The King of Hyrule, though kind and wise, was very protective of his daughter, Link knew. And he couldn't blame him. His daughter had been in mortal danger thanks to one of the king's own advisers, Ganondorf. But that was over and done with. Still, the old king wanted Zelda to be safe, and constantly watched and followed. The only time she was able to escape for a few hours was when she donned her Sheik costume, like today.
"Let me talk to him. Let me make him see reason" Link said. In his voice there was a quiet anger. Zelda, sensing his rising temper, shook her head.
"You know we can't do that... my father would never understand" she said quietly.
"Because you won't even let me try!" Link said, clearly irritated. He pulled away from her, swinging his legs over the side of his bed. He began to dress jerkily. Zelda sighed. She could understand his frustration, and she wished she could make things better. But she remembered the last time she had tried to talk to her father about Link.
"But father! It's been more than three years since the incident with Ganondorf! You can't keep people following me around wherever I go! I'm a sage, for Din's sake! I can take care of myself! Besides... I'm always with Link!" she had burst furiously. The king looked unimpressed.
"Link is a fine young man, to be sure, but he's not a knight of Hyrule. I fear he... can't protect you or treat you the way you deserve. There are plenty of eligible young men, young knights, here in the castle" the king had said calmly.
"What?! He can't protect me?! He saved Hyrule! He saved me... he saved you, too!" She raged, storming up and down the throne room. She had been ready to tear her hair out.
"He is not a knight of Hyrule! He is wild and carefree and... he's not good enough!" The king roared. Zelda had gaped at him then. "Marry a Shiekah then... they are the chosen people to protect the royal family... to protect you" the king added. Zelda had shaken her head, unable to believe her ears.
"Royalty be damned!" she had screeched, "I don't care about being a princess! I have done everything you ever asked of me! I accepted the destiny the goddesses chose for me... I never questioned it. I was prepared to lay my life down for Hyrule... for the world... as was Link... but now that it's all over... what about what I want?" Tears had started streaming down her cheeks.
"I'm done talking about this, Zelda. I'm tired now" the king had said, and she understood herself to be dismissed.
Slowly, she climbed out of bed and dressed herself as Sheik. It made her sad that she couldn't let Link speak to her father. But she was afraid that her father would tell him what he had told her. And Link would agree that he wasn't good enough for her and then leave because of it. She couldn't bear life without him. She peered through the window to make sure nobody would see her leave his house.
"Dammit, Zelda. I'm tired of you having to hide to come see me. I hate that I can't go see you myself. We meet in secret like we are criminals. What the fuck kind of relationship is that?" he snapped. He hadn't meant to curse, but the frustration building inside of him had him on edge lately. He wasn't some criminal. He hated having to see Zelda hiding and hurrying home like she was a fugitive. It wasn't fair to her. She deserved so much more. So much better. She was looking at him with a puzzled look on her pretty face. Link noticed the rain was pouring now.
"What do we do then?" she asked. Inside, her heart was pounding and she feared his answer.
Running a hand through his disheveled hair, he turned his back to her. "I think we need to stop seeing each other" he said. In that instant, her world broke. Moments later, he heard his door close and when he turned around, his princess was gone.
A/N: Ok, so there is the first chapter. Hope everyone enjoyed it... and now, what should happen to our couple? Should Link follow Zelda? Throw me some of your ideas, I'll see if I can incorporate them all into a fully functional chapter 2 :p Also, do you guys want more explicit lemon or just subtle hints at it? Maybe just lime?
