A/N: Another late chapter. What else is new? Oh well.

Once again, I'd like to thank my reviewers: 1esor2, ShadowNinja1011, and warchief grom hellscream.

Anyways, no requests this time. I wasn't able to fit any in here unfortunately. I'll fit all the others in soon. Also, I delayed this chapter because I wanted to release just before the 4th of July. It's not an international holiday, but hey, fireworks are universal.

Once again, if you guys see any discrepancies or mistakes, feel free to drop a review or a PM and I'll get to fixing it. You can also request stuff for the next chapter if that'll make you happy. I'll see what I can fit in.

Enjoy!

Thirty minutes after leaving the school, everybody had finally settled in at Link and Zelda's apartment. Although most of them had pulled into the parking lot much earlier, Sheik and Aryll had been holding hands when Link and Dark arrived, much to their chagrin. This resulted in a ten minute chase where Sheik desperately ran, climbed, and swam away from Link and Dark. Aryll finally managed to calm the two of them down by way of a metal pipe, after which both Zelda and Aryll lectured the twins for another good ten minutes while they rubbed the bumps on their head. After forcing them to promise not to attack Sheik for the remainder of the day, they all made their way into Zelda and Link's apartment.

"Aww... I love this picture Zelda! It's so adorable!" said Malon, gushing at one of the pictures on the wall. "You and Link look so cute together!" The picture she was looking at was of Link and Zelda during their first year of high school. In the picture, Zelda was hugging Link from behind, with her arms tightly wound around his neck, and she had face nearly buried in Link's hair, although it was evident that she was smiling. Link was reaching up behind him, trying to hug her as well while laughing.

"Ah! That's my favorite picture of them!" said Midna.

"My favorite is this one." said Ilia, pointing at a picture with Link and Zelda sleeping in a field of flowers. Zelda's head was on Link's chest as he had a protective arm pulling her closer to him. "Link's hair looks so fluffy!"

"Oh yeah! I took those pictures." said Aryll, sipping tea from a mug. "Actually, I took most of these."

"Between both of our families, Aryll is the best photographer." said Zelda, patting the girl on the head. "We always have her take our pictures."

"Wow! You're amazing Aryll!" As most of the girls gathered around the wall in the living room to admire the pictures, the boys were milling around. Link was wearing an apron and a special green chef hat and was preparing to grill all of the steaks. Dark and Sheik were playing video games. As Link walked out to the balcony to grill the steaks, he heard someone knock on the door.

"Hey, can someone get the door?" Link continued outside to the grill as Zelda opened the door. She was greeted by the sight of a strangely dressed man with a duffel bag and a clipboard.

"Hello? Can I help you?" The man looked up from his clipboard.

"Ah hello madam." said the man. "I have a package for Mr. Link Forrester. Does he live at this residence?"

"Yes he does." answered Zelda.

"Do you live here with him?"

"Yes I do."

"Ah, very good then." He clicked his pen and held it out to her along with the clipboard. "Could you please sign here so that I can verify this transaction has taken place?"

"Sure..." Zelda hesitantly took the pen and signed her name. "What is this package for? I don't believe we've ordered anything."

"I'm afraid I don't know Miss... uh... Harkinian. In any case, even if I did know, I wouldn't be able to tell you. Client confidentiality, of course. Now, good day to you." The strange man, who Zelda now assumed was a delivery man, handed a huge package to her from his duffel bag, bowed slightly and ran down the hallway to the stairs. Zelda closed the door and was immediately jumped on by Malon.

"What's this Zelda? A secret treasure? A new pair of designer shoes? Or maybe even something naughty?" Zelda shrugged off her hyperactive friend.

"I don't know. The guy said it was for Link." She walked to the dining table and set it down. "Link! You have a package!" she called out.

"A package? I didn't order anything though." replied Link from the balcony.

"Well it's right here. Do you want me to open it?"

"Sure." As Zelda began to open it, Dark and Sheik walked into the dining room.

"What's that?" asked Dark curiously.

"I don't know. Link says he didn't order anything but-" She stopped short when she found what was inside. "Link, what did I tell you about buying these?"

"What?" He closed the top of the grill and walked inside. "I told you I didn't order anyth-" He also stopped when he glanced at the contents. "Holy shi-"

"Dude Link! This is awesome!" Dark and Sheik grabbed the fireworks inside the box. "Right on! Now we'll really have a party!"

"Hell yeah!"

"NO!" scolded Zelda, grabbing the fireworks back from them. "I forbid you guys from playing with these. Last time Link got his hands on those, he nearly burned down my house." She gingerly placed them back in the box. "

"C'mon Zel..." said Link, eyeing the biggest one. "It was just that one time!"

"Link. You lit up a firework when we were still inside."

"I didn't mean for it to explode inside!"

"Right. You were aiming for a window."

"I thought that it was open!"

"What's all the commotion?" asked Midna, walking into the kitchen with the rest of the girls. Dark noticed her and slowly began inching away.

"Link wants to burn down our apartment." answered Zelda. Midna looked confused.

"What? Why would he..." Midna caught sight of the box. "Oh. Fireworks." Malon raised an eyebrow at Link.

"Why'd you have these sent here?" asked Malon. "You could have gotten them elsewhere. Heck, you could have gone and picked them up yourself."

"I didn't order it!" protested Link. He eyed the box. "But since it's here..."

"No. I'm not risking our home to these explosives."

"For the last time, I haven't ordered anything recently!"

Then explain this." said Zelda, pointing at the box. Link picked up the receipt.

"It says here that it was ordered two days ago. You can check our credit card history. There shouldn't be any charges out of the ordinary on that day."

"How did this end up here then? And more importantly, why was it addressed to you?"

"I don't know!" They argued back and forth for several minutes as the rest of the guests watched.

"Ten rupees that this will end up with them making out." muttered Malon.

"Ten rupees that this will end up with make-up sex." Midna muttered back. Sheik snickered and Aryll shot him a dirty look. The phone rang before she could say anything to him.

"Guys, phone!" called Ilia. When neither one of the blondes moved or even showed signs of hearing her. "Whatever. I'll get it." She walked over to the kitchen and picked up the phone. "Hello? This is Ilia. They're arguing. Why? Ugh, fine." She walked over to the dining room where the two were still arguing. "Guys, Ganny's on the phone. He wants to talk to you guys." When the two of them continued to yell at each other, Ilia shrugged and threw the phone at them.

"Ow!" said Link, rubbing his head. He looked at Ilia. "What was that for?"

Ilia pointed at the phone. "Ganny wants to talk to you."

Link picked it up. "Hello?"

"Link, did you receive a package today?"

"Yeah. Why? Were you the-" He stopped as he heard the doorbell ring. He walked over and opened the door. "Ganon, what the fu-"

"Hey, do you have the fireworks?" He caught sight of the box and fireworks in dining room. "Oh you do. Great." He brushed past Link and walked to the rest of the people in the apartment. "Hey guys."

"Okay, clearly these are yours." said Zelda, stopping Ganondorf from picking them up. "Can you explain why they were delivered to us?"

"Oh. Sorry about that. I ordered them by mail because I wanted to show my parents fireworks since they're going back to the desert tomorrow. But I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to be here for the delivery. They charge a fee whenever they can't deliver it and plus I wouldn't be able to get the fireworks. Besides, I know you guys wouldn't use them because I heard Zelda wouldn't let Link play with fireworks."

"...How did you know that we were going be here though?"

Ganondorf thought about it. "... I didn't." He looked at the dumbfounded stares he got from the others. "Didn't really think that far ahead. Well, whatever. It worked out in the end." He picked up all of the fireworks and walked out the door. "Thanks guys!" Everyone stayed silent after the door closed. Then:

"Told you I didn't order them."

"Shut up Link."

After Link went back and finished grilling the steaks, everyone sat down for dinner. A few of the steaks were extra well done because Link forgot about them during the firework incident. Luckily, the females seemed to favor those instead of the rare ones, which the guys preferred. About halfway through the dinner, fireworks began to light up the darkening sky. Aryll rushed out to the balcony to get a good look at them.

"They're so pretty!" she said, pointing at the flashes of red and yellow high above. She ran back to her seat when Sheik tried to take a piece of her steak.

"I can't believe Ganny did that..." muttered Zelda, stabbing at her mashed potatoes.

Midna laughed. "You're just mad that you were wrong." She pointed at Link, whom was happily eating his slice of steak. "Just apologize already to him already." Link looked up expectantly at Zelda. He smirked when he saw her fluster.

"C'mon Zel! I'm waiting."

"Shut up!" She threw a vegetable at him, which he caught in his mouth.

"Zelda, no throwing food at the dinner table." said Malon, mock-scolding her.

"Just apologize to me. I won't bite." said Link. Zelda murmured something under her breath. "Huh? What was that?" Link turned his head. "Did you something? An apology perhaps?"

"I said sorry!"

"For what?" asked Link.

"For thinking you ordered the fireworks." she muttered. Zelda began to eat again furiously to hide her embarrassment as the others laughed.

"Ah, thank you for apologizing Zelda! How kind of you!" Zelda kicked her boyfriend under the table.

"Speaking of apologies, I think someone else needs to give one." said Malon, eyeing Dark. He choked and began to cough violently.

"Are you okay Dark?" asked Aryll.

"Y-Yeah. Food just... went down the wrong way."

"Who needs to apologize?" asked Midna, oblivious to Dark's discomfort. Malon simply shrugged and nudged Dark's leg.

"Someone who did something very bad." said Zelda, relieved that no one was looking at her anymore.

"Wait, is someone in trouble?" asked Aryll.

"Someone will be if they don't speak up." muttered Malon. When Dark pretended not to hear, she kicked him. Hard.

"OW! Don't kick me!" Another kick.

"Dark, what'd you do this time?" asked Midna, smiling. Dark's eyes widened and he avoided her gaze.

"N-Nothing." He withered under the glare of Zelda and Malon as the others just stared at him quizzically. After a moment, he stood up. "I'm going to get some air."

"What's with him?" asked Midna after he had left. "Should I go after him?"

"Yes!" said Malon, standing up suddenly. She pointed at the front door. "Go talk with him!"

"Umm... Okay." Midna went after Dark and Malon sat back down. After a few seconds, she groaned.

"What is it?" asked Sheik.

"Dark is going want an apology for kicking him after this."

Outside, Dark leaned on the railing and sighed. "How the fuck am I supposed to apologize for something like that?" muttered Dark, running a hand through his silver hair.

"Well you could start by saying sorry." Dark swore and turned around quickly.

"O-Oh. Hey Midna."

"Hi." She leaned on the railing and poked Dark's shoulder. "So, what's going on? Who do you have to apologize to? What'd you do?"

"I..." Dark opened his mouth to speak, and then closed it again. Damn, this is hard.

"Hmm?"

"I think... I might have made a mistake with someone."

"Who? What'd you do?"

"I... Uh..." Dark opened and closed his mouth again. GODDAMMIT! SPEAK MOUTH!

"Seriously, what's wrong? I'm getting worried." Midna laughed and shoved his shoulder lightly. She sounded happy, but her face showed concern. She really cares about me. thought Dark. He stared at the features of her face he felt like his heart was melting.

"Is... there something wrong with my face?" asked Midna. "You're staring again."

"O-Oh! Uhh..." Dark jumped back. "Sorry about that. I-"

"Are you sick or something? You seem really out of it."

"I just-"

"Are you sure you're okay? Did you bump your head or something? Did you-"

"GODDAMMIT MIDNA! STOP CARING SO MUCH!" Dark covered his mouth, trapping the words 'about me' in his throat. Midna looked stunned. She stepped back a bit. All of her emotions that she pent up throughout the entire day started to spill out.

"I-I'm sorry Dark..." said Midna as she began to cry. Dark panicked.

"W-Wait! No. I didn't-"

"I'm sorry for bothering you Dark." said Midna through her sobs. "I'll just-" She turned but was stopped by Dark's hand.

"WAI-" He stopped himself from yelling again. He took a shaky breath and tried to calm himself. "Midna. Please... Just..." Midna looked up at him with tears still in her eyes. In the glow of the fireworks, she looked- Beautiful. By Din she's gorgeous. Dark closed his eyes for a second. "Midna could you just stand right here?" He led her back a few steps and then turned back around so that he wasn't facing her. "I-" He took another breath. "I'm sorry." He paused for a second before he continued. "I didn't mean what I said earlier today." Midna looked up.

"You mean about-"

"Yeah. About that." Dark gripped the railing until he thought his knuckles would break. "I didn't mean what I said about you. About us. I... was surprised when you asked me. I didn't tell you what I really want." He paused.

"What do you want Dark?" asked Midna gently. He could hear her slowly walking towards him.

"I-I want..." Dark stopped himself. What do I want? He had long been a skeptic of long term relationships and never really wanted anything serious. The thought of love to him was always a joke. He felt her touch his back and it felt like an electric charge. He turned around and found Midna's gaze on him. His eyes softened as he reached for her face and held it. Midna. I want Midna. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"Midna. I want you. I want you to be my girlfriend. Please, I'm sorry for before. I really wa-" He was cut off by her lips. He opened his eyes, surprised at first, and then he deepened the kiss. They stood there like that for a full minute under the moonlight and fireworks. When they finally broke, Midna smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Yes." she whispered in his ear. Dark smiled and hugged her back.

"Are they still kissing?"

"I don't know! I can't see anything!"

"Move over Sheik!"

"I would, but Link is too fat."

"Shut the fu-"

"What are you guys doing?" asked Midna looking at her friends trying to peek outside the door without being seen.

"Crap. She saw us."

"Bail!" All of the heads protruding from the doorway instantly retreated and the door slammed shut. Dark looked back at Midna and said something, but his words were muffled by an extremely loud firework. Midna smiled and whispered in his ear.

"I love you too."

A/N: Well, how was that ending? I decided to just go ahead and finish up all the Midna/Dark stuff so I can spend the last few chapters all on Sheik and Aryll. In case you didn't notice, I tried really hard to fit in the fireworks. It didn't go so well in the beginning, but hopefully you'll overlook that.

Anyways, what'd you think of this story's first real kiss scene? Any thoughts or comments, just leave a review.

More requests? Just leave a review or PM me. I'm sure you know the drill by now. Thank you guys so much!

Also, just a side note: Peaches R Tasty, I am so sorry that I forgot about you. You reviewed and left a request to boot. So sorry about that. In response to your suggestion, I don't want to spend any more time on non-complex stuff. But I like your idea so much that I'll make another story about it at a later time. Thanks.
