Ohaiyo! I wanted to make a short story dedicated to my bestest buddy, and roommate: Jcomics. She's the one that tempted me to make this one shot because we RPGed a situation similar to this and I thought it was really cute.
Okay, before anyone starts to flame or tear this fic apart: yes…this is a Wolf x Zelda fic…sorta. And no…there isn't yiffy in it if that's what you're thinking. Its just pure "fluff" you could call it. Now this is a gift fic and I wouldn't appreciate it if it was flamed just because of the pairing. If you don't like it or think that this is gross beastiality, then please, just hit the back button on your internet browser and leave. Flaming me wouldn't make much of a difference except that I warned you and you had the option of going back.
Anyways, those that stayed to read this fic, enjoy! I hope it turned out okay.
Roses at my Door Step
"Hmm…what's this?" asked a young blond elfin woman. She looked down at her pink feet and kneeled down to pick up what was on the ground. It was a single red rose with an envelope taped to the stem. The thorns were taken out carefully. The blond maiden moved some rogue hairs behind her pointy ears as she examined with her ocean blue eyes the enveloped. "This is the third time I received a rose with an envelope."
Every week on Saturday, Zelda, the princess of Hyrule, would receive this gift from her secret admirer. At first she thought that it was a gift to congratulate her victory on her match, but the following week, another rose appeared by her door. Inside the envelopes were romantic poems. Zelda looked at her recent poem. It was sweet, but she needed to know who was sending her all these poems.
Zelda left her room and headed towards the only person she could confine with on the matter: Peach. Zelda knocked on Peach's door and waited for a response. After two minutes, the door opened to reveal a slightly older blond princess. Zelda noticed that Peach wasn't done getting dress as she saw that Peach only had her lips colored and only one eye with mascara.
"Oh Zelda, good morning!" Peach let out. "Come in!"
"Peach, I am troubled right now," Zelda said as she walked inside the extremely pink room.
"What's wrong, dear?" Peach closed and locked her door. She walked over to her dresser and continued to apply make up.
"For the past two weeks, I've been receiving love letters and roses at my door."
"Oh?" Peach stopped applying make up as she turned around to see Zelda. Her full undivided attention was on her now. "Who are they from?"
"That's the thing…I don't know," Zelda replied as she looked at her recent poem. "The person didn't sign it or anything."
"Aww…you have a secret admirer! I wonder who it is. Oh! Could it be Link? You and him have always had a history together."
"I don't know…" Zelda said. "Sure Link is sweet…but the way this letter was written…I don't think he would be capable of writing this. Besides…when I received the first letter, I thanked him. However, he gave me an odd look and said that he didn't give me anything. I don't know if he was denying it…or if he was sincere."
Peach thought for a moment. "What about Ike? He can be quite surprising."
Zelda looked at Peach. "Ike does have an aura about him to do sweet things, but…I don't think he could write so beautifully. Much like Link…they don't care much for literature."
"Hmm…oh! What about Marth? He's a total sweetheart too!"
"That could be a possibility. He is quite articulate and he does love poetry…but I shouldn't get ahead of myself."
"Oh…don't worry too much about it, dear," Peach said as she continued to fix herself up. "I'm sure whomever is writing you all those poems will eventually come into the light. He will sweep you up your feet…how romantic."
Zelda gave Peach an odd look. The older princess had a way of getting off topic and going off into her own little world. Zelda shook her head. Once Peach snapped out from her fantasies, she finished prepping herself up. She walked over to closet and donned her pink gown. Peach looked over the letter that Zelda was holding in her hand. Peach took it from Zelda and looked at it.
"Let's see," Peach said, "It says…"
My dearest maiden
How fair you look
Upon this morning
The radiant sun
Shines upon your face
Your golden locks fly
Amongst the wind
I bring to you, love
Another red rose
To show your passion
Like fire it burns strong
"Wow…" Peach said as her eyes kept glue to the poem. "Someone sure does have a thing for you…and hard."
"I know…thing is…I don't know who it is," Zelda said. "This person is pouring their heart out for me and I can't even respond because I don't know who it is."
"Maybe you should try to find out who it is? From the way this is going…he's too shy to tell you how he feels in person. Much like Marth…or Pit…or Fox…or…"
Zelda just rolled her eyes as she let out a giggle. Even though Peach always seemed to get off topic and into her own little world, she was glad that she could tell her anything. Zelda thanked her friend and walked out of her room. Zelda had a mission to do: she had to find out who her mysterious admirer was. The first place she was going to inspect was the common room.
Zelda walked down the red carpeted hallway and ended up in a rather large room. There were only doorways but not doors at the entrance of the room. Bookshelves were placed near the fireplace, which was out at the time. Sitting down in one of the armchairs was a blue haired youth. His soft cerulean locks were held together by a golden tiara. His ocean eyes were locked on a book which he was currently reading.
There's Marth, Zelda thought as she approached the prince. I wonder what he's reading. Zelda leaned over to catch a glimpse of what the prince was currently reading. Apparently it seemed to be MacBeth, one of Shakespeare's plays. Marth noticed that there was some sort of a shadow looming over him. He slowly looked away from the text and tilted his head back. He let out a surprise yelp which caused Zelda to scream right back. Once both of them settled down, Marth let out a huff.
"Oh Princess Zelda," Marth said, "You gave me quite a fright."
"I apologize, Prince Marth," Zelda replied as she curtsied in apology. "I didn't mean to scare you."
"That is quite alright. No harm done," Marth looked at Zelda then at his book. "Are you interested in the works of Shakespeare? I find a couple of them quite fascinating. As soon as I started to read MacBeth, I couldn't put it down."
"His works are quite impressive."
Then there was silence. Neither Zelda or Marth said anything else to each other. Marth played around with the book as Zelda played with her fingers. Zelda felt quite nervous around Marth. He's not saying anything to me, she thought. Maybe it is Marth. Maybe he did send me those flowers and poems. It has to be! "Marth," Zelda spoke softly. "I…um…"
"Zelda…um…" Marth replied at the same time Zelda spoke. "I need to go. Sorry that I'm cutting this conversation short." Marth bowed to Zelda as he closed his book, placed it on the chair, and left the common room. Zelda was baffled by it all. She felt a bit hurt, but more importantly, she was even more suspicious about Marth.
As the rest of the day went on, Zelda tried to look for Marth, however the prince was nowhere in sight. Just as she was almost done searching the garden, a figure arose from the bushes. Link tumbled down from one of the bushes and whined in pain. Apparently he had scratches on parts of his face. The blond Hylian warrior held onto his head as he tried to overcome the pain.
"Link, are you alright," Zelda asked as she approached the hero.
"Princess Zelda!" Link let out as he composed himself almost instantly. "How are you?"
"I'm fine…am I ask…why were you in the bushes?"
"Uh…" Link looked away from Zelda as he tried to come up with a reason why he was in the bushes. Zelda looked over at Link's hand and noticed that he was holding something. Link looked over at Zelda and noticed that she was looking at his hand. He quickly hid the item behind his back and tucked it inside of his shield. "I just so happen to be walking through the nice garden and all. I just got stuck in the bush. Either way, I have to go now. I need to bathe Epona. It was nice talking to you, princess!"
Link quickly got up from the ground, bowed at the princes and ran off. Link didn't notice that he had accidentally dropped whatever it was that he was hiding from Zelda. Zelda looked at the ground and saw a single red rose on the ground. Link…she thought as she picked up the rose. Was it him all this time? Was he trying to make me fall for this ruse? As Zelda picked up the rose from the ground, she accidentally pricked her finger on one of the thorns. "I should be careful," she said.
With the new clue at hand, Zelda was now beginning to question who it was that was giving her the roses. Finding Link red handed in the garden with the roses seemed now plausible to Zelda that there was more to Link then meets the eye. "I think it's rather sweet of him to do this," she said in a soft tone. "Still…I'm not so sure if I should let my theory of Marth go just yet."
As Zelda walked down the hallways of the mansion, she managed to find Roy. The red headed duke, Roy, had been busy looking through a book. The youth was lost in thought that he failed to notice Zelda walking by. Zelda was going to let Roy be since he was lost in thought, but stopped when he heard him mumble. "Grass against the breeze…golden locks…eyes pure as snow…" Roy said.
"Um, Roy?" Zelda asked.
The red headed duke closed his book and looked at Zelda with his mesmerizing blue eyes. "Princess Zelda," he said softly. "Nice to see you."
"Sorry for prying into your affairs…but I was curious about what you were mumbling about. That is alright with you."
"Oh? Was I talking out loud? Forgive me. What I was saying was a poem that is from my country. I was merely passing the time. You see…a meteor shower is going to be shown in the world's atmosphere today and I would like to see it. You're more than welcome to join if you'd like, princess."
"Come see the meteor shower with you?" Zelda asked. Is Roy asking me out for a date? She thought. Perhaps…Roy is the man who's been sending me flowers.
"Of course, I think everyone would like it!" Roy said.
"Everyone?"
"Yes. Everyone is going to watch the meteor shower…at least I'll try to get everyone to do so. But it will honor me if you can come too. It will make the evening…special. Anyway, I need to head off. I have more people to tell this to. See you this evening, princess."
Roy took his leave. Zelda was confused. She wasn't too sure if Roy asked her on a date or just a friendly outing with everyone else. Zelda sighed as she did not like this at all. This is so confusing…she thought. Are any of these guys my admirers? As the princess walked down the hallway, she did not see Ike standing in front of her. She bumped into the blue haired mercenary and apologized quickly. "I'm so sorry, Ike!" Zelda stated. "I did not see you."
"That's alright, Your Highness," Ike responded. "You seem rather troubled. Is something bothering you?"
"It's nothing Ike."
"Are you sure? You don't have to tell me anything…but just so you know, I'm here to listen to you."
Zelda bit her lip. "Alright…there is something wrong," Zelda said. "I can't really tell you what is wrong…but I am not alright."
"Hmm? You sure you don't want to tell me? If you keep it all bottled up, you'll only suffer."
"Ike…I was wondering…do…you like…red roses?"
Ike tilted his head in a confused manner. "Not really. I'm not much of a flower person…especially since Mist always whines at me to let her put a crown of flowers on my head each time she makes them."
"Oh…"
"But I think roses are more for women like you. I may not like them, but I think they make good presents for girls," Ike replied. "Um…did I say something wrong?"
Zelda stood a bit stupefied. "You'd…give women like me, roses?"
"Of course! I think you deserve some! You're just as pretty as flowers." Ike smiled widely and childishly at the princess.
Zelda blushed at the comment. Ike…could it be Ike all this time? Zelda thought. Could it be that Ike was the one that wrote me those beautiful poems and sent me flowers? While Ike and Zelda spoke with each other, off in the distance, someone had been watching them. One dark ruby eye narrowed as it viewed Ike with much hate. Wolf let out a small snarl.
"Bastard…" he growled, "she probably thinks that it's now Ike that sent her the flowers. I'll show that pathetic mercenary."
"Oh my…you have such a potty mouth," giggled Peach as she stood behind Wolf.
"How long have you been there?" Wolf growled.
"Just long enough to see you follow Zelda when she left Roy. So…you're the one that sent her the flowers and wrote her the poems? How cute!"
"How absurd! I don't do romance!" Wolf snarled. "Get your head out of the fairy tale gutter and listen well, I just hate Ike. I never did like that bastard and him getting a girl only riles me up even more."
"Don't let him fool you," spoke a male voice, "I've seen him pick roses out of the garden."
Wolf and Peach looked around them to see where the voice was coming from. Peach looked up the ceiling to see a blue dog like creature hanging on the ceiling. Lucario looked back at Peach then jumped from the ceiling and landed on his feet perfectly. "I've seen him sneak into the garden one a week," Lucario spoke, "it's kinda pathetic."
"Shut up!" Wolf shouted. "Listen here, Lucario…you don't know what's going on."
"Oh, really? Care to explain to Olimar why some of his prized roses as well as some of his Pikmin are missing?"
Wolf clenched his fists as he tried to control himself from attack Lucario at the moment. Even though he usually wouldn't care, but he was already in trouble with the people in charge of the stadium. Lucario only smirked as he saw Wolf squirm before him. He knew that he had checkmated his king in one swift movement.
"Listen you!" Wolf hissed between his clenched fangs. "You are really starting to piss me off. I think you should really keep your long, pointy snout out of my business before I decide to kill you."
"Wolf O'Donnel!" Peach shouted as she placed her hands on her hips. "That's not a nice thing to say! That was very horrible and rude."
"That's not all I saw," Lucario added in. "I've seen Wolf on the roof of the mansion late at night. I don't know what he was doing, but he was busy scribbling on a piece of paper."
"What were you doing on the roof?" Wolf asked.
"I usually like to sleep on the roof than in my room. I feel like I have more liberties up there."
"What are you doing on the roofs late at night?" Peach asked.
"Nothing you should be concerned about," Was the reply Peach got from Wolf.
Peach let out a small huff before she leaned over to Wolf. She extended her hand and flick Wolf's nose. Wolf let out a small whine before he recoiled a bit and began to massage his nose. He glared at Peach with his one ruby eye as he riled up.
"Now…the correct way to say these things are with proper manners," Peach said. "Didn't your parents teach you anything?"
"No…I never was raised by my parents," Wolf scoffed. "I guess you might say I was raised by the wrong crowd."
Peach's expression changed from a harden look to a soft look on her face.
"Don't tell me you actually feel sorry for me," Wolf said as he rolled his eye. "Listen…it was a long time ago. I don't remember my parents therefore I don't miss them. Damn…I never told anyone this crap. If you mutter one word of this I swear I will…"
"That's okay," Peach said. "I promise I won't tell anyone about your past …or about your gifts to Zelda."
"What about the blue thing?" Wolf snarled at Lucario.
"I never tell anyone what I see or hear in this stadium," Lucario spoke. "Any secret you say to me I'll keep."
"Good! You two better keep these to yourselves! Because if I so hear or find out that someone else besides you two know about this I swear I will bash your heads in with my Wolfen!"
"Aww…there's no need for you to get all offensive," Peach said as she patted Wolf's head. "I promise I'll keep this to myself. You can confine in me. I'll be your friend." Wolf let out a slight blush as he scoffed and looked away from the princess. "Now…I know you've been showing Zelda how you feel on paper…perhaps its time for you to actually say it to her face."
"And get caught? I rather let Fox turn me to the Cornerian army than mutter a single word," Wolf let out.
Peach covered her mouth as she giggled gingerly.
"What's so funny?" Wolf shouted.
"I'm sorry," Peach replied as she continued to giggle. "I didn't know you were so shy and insecure about yourself."
"What?! I, Wolf O'Donnel, am NOT insecure or shy!" Wolf crossed his arms.
"You acting like Mister Tough-Guy, isn't going to fool me. Anyway, there is that meteor shower event happening? Why don't you sit next to Zelda."
"I can't…" Wolf replied as he didn't face Peach.
"Why not?" Peach asked.
"Because Zelda is going on a date with…Roy…he asked her first."
"Hmm…I think Roy only asked as a friend. I think…I might have something. Listen…this is what I want you to do…" Peach grabbed Wolf's head and whispered gently in his ear. Once she was done she turned to Lucario. "Lucario dear, I need your help too."
"What?" Lucario asked as he looked baffled.
"Please? Its for a good cause."
Lucario closed his eyes. "I won't do it since it's for Wolf…" Lucario said. "But…since you asked nicely…I'll go along with you."
Peach squealed as she whispered in Lucario's ear. Lucario nodded before he kneeled down and disappear in a flash. Peach shooed Wolf then headed off to her room.
Night soon approached. Roy had been busy setting up chairs and tables outside in the garden. He set up a telescope and looked up at the sky. "Tonight looks beautiful," he said softly. "I hope everyone will be here soon. I worked really hard on all of this."
"Roy!" Peach squealed as she approached the red head youth.
"Oh! Princess Peach!" Roy replied as he bowed. "You're here! I'm so glad!"
"Yep! But I'm about to go back into the kitchen to bring out the food. Roy…I need a small, itty bitty, teensy weensy, favor."
"What is it?"
"I know you were suppose to sit next to Zelda this evening…but…um…"
"What's wrong?" Roy said as he looked worried. "Did something happen to her?"
"It's not that…it's just that…Zelda is such a pretty princess and all. Wouldn't she look just beautiful sitting by the tree. The moonlight hits right in that small spot. Wouldn't that look like such a love picture for you to sketch?"
"That would be beautiful," Roy said as he imagined what the picture would be. "But…isn't it kinda dark for me to sketch?"
"Oh! That's why you need to sit right here where the lights are so you can have a good light."
"Hmm…I did promise Zelda to sit next to her…but…what would I say to her about this?"
"I'm sure she would be honored to have you draw her."
"Sounds reasonable! Alright! I'll draw the best picture of Zelda ever and paint it! I'll go get my art kit!"
Roy excused himself and headed towards his room. Peach giggled triumphantly. That's one down…only a couple more to go. She thought. The next person that Peach approached as Ike. The blue haired mercenary had a small bouquet of flowers in his hand.
"Oh! Where are you going with those?" Peach asked innocently.
"Well…Zelda and I were talking about flowers," Ike said softly as he blushed a bit. "I thought she might appreciate these."
"Oh!" Peach let out with a bit of shock in her voice.
"What's wrong?"
"It's just that…this vase," Peach said as she picked up the empty vase that was on the table. "I wish I could have some flower to decorate this place. This vase looks so lonely…"
Ike looked at the vase than at his flowers. He extended his hand and gave the flowers to Peach. "I guess…if you really want them that much," Ike said.
"Oh! Thank you so much, Ike! I appreciate it a lot. You'll get a big piece of apple pie for dessert."
"No problem…I'll just have to get Zelda flowers another day then."
Peach let out a sigh as Ike situated himself in one of the seats. That was easy, she thought. Now…there is Link and Marth left. Eventually half of the Smashers appeared in the garden. Link was one of them. In his hands, was a single red rose. Peach quickly walked over to Link. "Oh Link," she said in a cheery voice, "what a lovely rose you have. Who's it for? You're secret admirer?"
Link let out a blush as he fumbled with the rose. "Um…you could say that…" he said softly. "I don't know if she will accept it or not."
"Oh? Who is this mysterious women?" Peach giggled.
"…Samus…" Link said bashfully.
"Aww…you're in love with Samus," Peach chided. "That's so cute!"
Link didn't reply. The Hylian only blushed.
"Well…why don't you sit with her this evening? You should tell her what you feel and give her that rose."
"I…I will," Link said. "Thanks Peach."
There's only one more person left, she thought. Marth arrived shortly with a book in hand. After talking to the prince, Peach figured out that Marth was attracted to Zelda, but wasn't planning anything. Peach let out a sigh of relief before she left him alone. In fifteen minutes, every Smasher arrived at the garden, with the exception of Wolf. Peach was getting rather worried that he wasn't going to show up. Zelda approached Peach.
"Peach, is there something wrong? You seem lost in thought," Zelda said.
"It's nothing, Zelda," Peach replied. "Why don't you sit down by the tree? The view is lovely from there."
"I would…but wouldn't I be isolated from the rest of everyone?"
"Well…don't worry about it. I'll be there along with a couple of other Smashers. Just wait there while I go get some refreshments for us."
"Very well," Zelda replied as she walked off towards the tree.
The night went on. As everyone was counting the minutes for the meteor shower, Zelda sat down underneath the tree by herself. She looked over at the crowd and noticed how much fun they were having. They look like they're having so much fun, she thought. I wish I could do the same thing. Being a princess isn't all that great. Peach has a wonderful time…but as for myself…I hardly ever do anything. My life is dedicated to my people and their own happiness…I guess someone should be happy.
As she Zelda looked on at the Smashers, she failed to notice someone standing behind the tree. Hidden behind the tree was Wolf. In his hand was a single red rose. He kept snarling to himself as he tried to build up the courage to say what he feels to Zelda. Damn it! He thought, I'm the damn leader of the Star Wolf team! I can do anything! I can conquer anything and take anything I want! She's just a female woman!
Wolf looked over from the tree and saw Zelda's frail figure. The way she was placed in moonlight, made her even more beautiful than before. The way the moon's rays highlighted certain strands of her hair made the shimmer like gold. This sight only made Wolf even more nervous than before. He placed his clawed hand on the tree and scratched hard against the bark. "Damn it…I can't…" he hissed.
"Don't be such a coward," Lucario hissed as he emerged from the shadows.
"You! What do you want?"
"I came here to see if the big bad wolf can do it? I mean…she is lonely. Listen to her."
Zelda let out a sigh. "I wonder…if anyone really is going to sit with me…" she spoke softly. "Everyone seems to be having so much fun…that…I don't know if anyone would really miss me if I was gone. I am starting to wonder if anyone is sincere about their love for me."
Upon hearing Zelda, Wolf scratched the tree even more. Crap! he thought. It's now or never! He looked over at Lucario who was motioning his paws to move. Wolf got on all fours and crawled over to Zelda. He sat behind her with his back facing her. Scoffing, Wolf extended his arm and placed the rose in front of Zelda's face. Zelda's blue orbs widen as she saw the rose in front of her face. She slowly extended her hand and took the rose. A smile soon formed upon her lips as she caught on why Peach isolated her from the others. "Are you my admirer?" She asked. "Tell me who you are!"
"I…can't tell you who I am," Wolf replied. His voice was soft; very unlike him. "I can tell you this…I did send you the roses and poems. Do you like them? I worked hard on them."
"I loved them," Zelda replied. "I wish I knew who you were…that way I can at least…"
"If you wish to thank me…you don't need to…I really don't think I deserve such praise. And if people knew about this…if anyone knew about this…it wouldn't be good on both our parts."
"But…I really don't care!"
"Some think of you as a prize…I have to admit…" Wolf said as he turned around and placed his clawed hand through hair golden locks. "I thought of you as a prize at one point. So beautiful…so strong…I thought of you as such. However…I found out that there are some things that can't be prizes. I pursued you…just for the sheer will of having you…having you by my side. I didn't care whether you were taken by someone else or not. I am not one who's good at expressing their feelings.
"You could say…some think I don't have feelings…except for money. I have to admit…I thought so too as well. Money was the only thing I really cared about. There are two things in life that one should know: money is absolute and you can't trust anyone. I may fight amongst people…but I couldn't care for them…nor do they care for me. But it doesn't matter to me."
"You sound like you've had a troubled past," Zelda said. "I…I'm sorry."
"For what? There is nothing for you to apologize for. You can feel sorry or pity for me all you want…that isn't going to change the facts."
"Is that why you're so insecure?" Zelda asked. "Because you feel that I will reject you or not care about you? I don't know who've you been around…but I would never do that."
"You may say that now, princess…but what if you did find out who I really was?" Wolf asked as he continued to play around with Zelda's hair. He whispered against her neck. Each time he spoke, it would send shivers down Zelda's spine.
"It wouldn't matter who you are…because I know deep down, you're a sweet person," Zelda said. "I know you are."
Wolf stopped for a moment. He examined Zelda's figure. "So frail…yet so trustworthy," he said. "You know…I can kill you right now if I wanted to."
"You wouldn't…" Zelda replied. "I know you wouldn't."
"What makes you so sure?"
"Because…I can tell you do care. Deep down…you have a heart. You have a side of you that you don't want the world to see. I can see why you would hide in darkness. Either way…I appreciate it so much. Thank you for giving me poems and roses…they do brighten up my day whenever I feel depressed. Can I…at least have a hint of who you are?"
Wolf didn't reply. Instead, he placed his hand on top of Zelda's and left it there. "This is the only clue I'm giving you," he said. Zelda closed her eyes as she felt Wolf's hand on top of her. Its so warm and soft, she thought as she smiled. Heh…its almost as if I'm being touched by fluff.
"You're so warm," Zelda said. "And soft."
"That's not something I hear everyday," Wolf replied.
"Then…if I ever have a chance to, I would say it everyday. But since I don't know you…then…I'll have figure out another way for me to do so. I know…I'll leave an apple at the dining table in the morning. I will leave promptly so that you can pick it up and I wouldn't see who you are."
"You're going to have to promise me that…" Wolf said as he caressed Zelda's shoulder. "If you peek at me…I won't ever send you flowers or write you poems ever again."
"I promise…I just wish I could find out who you are…I…really do…"
"Until I feel comfortable. One day…I might tell you…until then, this will have to be our secret. Just promise me one thing…you will not go out with anyone else. You are to belong to me as I have given myself to you…which is a rare thing. Only you will have the power to tame me."
"Will I…ever see you again?" Zelda asked.
"Hmm…it is a good thing you don't know who I am…if you got involved with someone like me…you're only asking for trouble. I doubt you can handle this. It is best…for both of us."
"Everyone look!" shouted Marth as he pointed at the sky. At that moment, everyone turned their attention to the sky. The meteor shower started. It was a beautiful sight to behold. Wolf took this opportunity to take Zelda's hand, kiss it lightly, then left in a hurry. Zelda tried to catch a glimpse of the figure, but it disappeared into the shadows. She looked over at her hand and touched it lightly. From the opposite side of the tree, Roy looked at his drawing then at Zelda. He smiled softly as he caught a very special moment on paper.
The following week, Zelda found another rose with a poem attached to it. She picked up her gifts and smiled warmly. She quickly scurried over to the kitchen and searched fruit bar. She managed to find a red delicious apple and placed it on the dining table. The princess walked off towards the common room, tempted to look back, but didn't dare to. As the princess continued to walk through the hallways, she accidentally bumped into Roy. "I'm so sorry, Roy!" Zelda said.
"That's okay, princess," Roy replied as he got up from the floor. Papers were all over the floor. "Ahh…"
"Oh! I'll help you!"
"No, that's okay," Roy said as he started to pick up the papers. "I should do this. A woman shouldn't stress herself over this."
"Still…I am so sorry, Roy."
"That's alright. I wanted to see you today."
"What for?" Zelda asked.
"Last week, during the meteor shower…I didn't get to sit with you since I was busy drawing you."
"Drawing me?"
"Yes. You looked so radiant that I had to draw you. I'm almost done with the drawing. I just need to put the drawing from paper to canvas. If you want, I can give it to you as a gift. I caught a very special moment down."
"You did?" Zelda asked as she kneeled before Roy and placed her hands on his shoulders. "Did you…draw him? My secret admirer."
"I…you could say that."
"Tell me…who is it? Better yet, can you show me?"
"I can't…not right now. I'll show you the picture once I'm done. I just hope I caught him right…" Roy said as he finished picking up the papers. "All I can say…is that I'm shocked at this. I didn't think he'd…"
"What?"
"Nothing…I've said too much. Anyway, I'll see you later, princess. I'll be sure to have it done soon." And with that, Roy left Zelda. Zelda let out a small pout, but knew that it was for the best to wait.
Ike, Marth, Link, and Pit crowded the hallways which were close to the garden. The boys were eager to hear what Link had to say. "So…what did happen?" Ike asked.
"Nothing," Link replied. "We…just spent the evening together and that was it."
"So…you two didn't…?" Marth asked with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
"Um…we didn't what?"
"You know…kiss her…" Pit whispered softly.
