@bransles /  “You’re like a cute little fairy.”  accepting

cute little fairy?!

a heat quickly bloomed on his face, at being called cute, and having his stature poked at. he will admit he's not the tallest man in Hyrule, far from really, but comparing him to a fairy? that was just a tad embarrassing, to say the least.

'i'm not that small, you're just.. tall,' Link pouted, sticking out his bottom lip a bit with furrowed brows.

nevermind the fact the great fairies were all taller than him.

@bransles​ / as soon as link walks in the door, it's nothing but roses all over the place. so, so many roses. and in the center of them all is octavo, dolled up in ribbons and lace, holding out a heart-shaped box of chocolate, tied together with sheer ribbon.

"finally — i was beginning to think you were going to stand me up," he huffs, though playful, "happy lover's day."

Link didn't quite know what to expect. he had never spent lover's day with anyone, or ever really done anything for the holiday regardless, so to say he was rather lost on the subject would be a fair judgement. this year however, this year he would be spending it with Octavo.

their first lover's day together.

it still felt a bit surreal, that he and Octavo were even together, sometimes Link thought he was dreaming, but even if he was he wouldn't take it for granted, especially on days like today. thankfully for him, despite his lack of knowledge, Zelda was eager to help him prepare for today, maybe a bit too eager, if Link was being honest; her eyes practically sparkling as she dressed him up and dressed him down in a whirlwind until she finally settled on something she thought looked good, before sitting him down and brushing his hair for almost a half hour as she explained in detail the proper etiquette and expectations on lover's day.

in the end, Link didn't look half bad, the corset might have been a bit much, and Link had to fight the urge to pull his sleeves up over his shoulders from where they hung on his arms, but he didn't look bad, better than what he would have picked out himself, at least. by the time they were finished however, Link was running late, so he snatched one of Zelda's long cloaks to throw over himself — no way on Farore's green earth would he be seen in public dressed like this, and hurriedly made his way out of the castle.

when he finally did arrive, he was a bit out of breath, having kept a fast pace in his stride, but any breath he did have was knocked out of him the moment he opened the door. there were roses everywhere, but he hardly noticed them, it was a bit hard to when Octavo was standing there dressed like.. that. Link's mouth felt dry as he could do nothing but stare, rather dumbly, as his face lit up like a raging fire; it was a few good moments before Link registered Octavo was handing him something, a box of chocolates, and it was then Link realized that in his hurry, he had forgotten to get Octavo anything.

"ah-!" a noise squeaked its way out of his throat as he snapped back into reality.

'sorry I- you- I didn't- I forgot to.. get you anything, I'm sorry, Zelda kept me for so long I- but you look- you- nice- you look very nice. Okay I'm going to.. take that so I stop talking,' he tripped and stumbled over his signs, his embarrassment radiating from his face to his finger tips as he quickly took the box to occupy his hands.

well, this certainly was going great.
