y/n - your name
(i like to imagine Link signing, so the dialogue for him is italicized for that reason)
The light flickered through the tree leaves just outside Link’s bedroom window. You opened your eyes to find yourself laying in his bed with his arms loosely wrapped around you. You don’t quite remember how you ended up here, but you smiled, knowing he must have carried you in after you’d already fallen asleep somewhere. He was pretty good at finding you when you did. It was quite common, actually; the soft grass against your skin made it pretty easy to doze off, not to mention the countless times you’d had to make do while traveling.
Watching Link as he slept was almost like a dream. It was a rarity to see him so… still. You brushed the hair from his eyes and gently stroked his cheek with your thumb. He looked so handsome when he slept. Not to say that he wasn’t already handsome, but with the Calamity finally being over, he just looked so at ease.
As you lifted up to get out of bed, his grip on you tightened. But, he was still sound asleep, lightly snoring. You giggled softly at him, untangling yourself from him to get up and make yourself some tea.
You headed downstairs and peeked out the kitchen window. There was Bolson and Karson, sitting where they usually sit in the yard. You figured they had just gotten back from visiting with Hudson and Rhondson. You opened the door and walked out to greet them.
“Care for some tea?” you asked.
Bolson smiled at you. “You know I would never turn down morning tea.”
You went back inside to get the kettle and some cups and headed back out. The three of you sat in the grass with your cups of tea, chatting about how beautiful the the flowers are this time of year. They were both pleased to see that you had planted some around the house.
“What kind of flowers are those, anyway?” Bolson asked.
“I was wondering the same. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before.” Karson added.
You were happy to tell them. “They’re called ‘Silent Princess’.”
They both looked at you with a questioning expression.
“They’re pretty rare, but Link had found quite a few on his journey.” You got up and walked over to the flowers to examine them. “Zelda said that with a little help, she thinks they can be domesticated.”
“Well, they’re very beautiful.” Bolson replied, just before taking another sip of tea.
Karson was more than excited to learn about them. “Maybe we could find and plant some at our place!"
Bolson stood up, cup still in hand. “We’ll see, Karson.” He turned to you with a smile. “Thank you for tea, y/n. You’re always a pleasure to sit and chat with.”
“Yeah!”
You took the tea cups from the both of them. “Thank you. You both are so kind. Feel free to come over for tea anytime.”
“Thank you for your hospitality, as always.”
Bolson and Karson made their way toward the town, Karson waving as they left. You couldn’t help but to smile as they walked away. The both of them were a treat to have around. You went back inside, set the dishes on the counter, and headed back up the stairs to find Link still sleeping.
Gently, you crawled back into bed and wrapped your arms around him. He rolled over to face you, eyes still closed. His hair was surprisingly messier than it was earlier. You once again went to brush the hair out of his eyes. Link wrinkled his nose and slowly opened his eyes. Upon seeing you, he smiled and pulled you in to cuddle.
“Good afternoon, love.” you whispered.
He looked at you with a cheesy grin. “Hi.”
“You missed out this morning.” You started. “Bolson and Karson were here, and they really like the flowers.”
“Of course they do.” He yawned.
You giggled at his reply before turning to get out of bed again. Link grabbed your hand quickly, just before you got out of his reach. “Yes?”
“Please stay in bed.”
“Link…”
“I just want to hold you for a little while longer.” He pouted, staring at you with those blue eyes. “Please?”
