11: gentle kiss

      Sometimes he found it hard to believe she was there. After so many years and so many failed attempts at bringing her back, Link had nearly given up all hope of seeing her again and, even though she was there and her presence had been confirmed by others, there were times when he would wake up in the middle of the night, expecting to find an empty space beside him. On those nights he found it hard to fall asleep again, afraid that if he closed his eyes she would be gone in the morning.

      Head pillowed on his arm, he watched as she slept, features illuminated by the moonlight filtering in through the window. She looked so peaceful, lashes fluttering as her eyes moved beneath their lids. What was she dreaming about? Something nice, he hoped. Reaching toward Nikara, he brushed a lock of hair out of her face. Fingers lingering on her skin, he sighed, then moved closer. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed the top of her head before tucking it beneath his chin and letting his eyes fall shut.

      She would be there in the morning, he told himself. She was there and she wasn’t going to disappear, not again.

10. Neck Kiss

[Gif Reference]

      His hand held hers as she stood en pointe, her right leg extended behind her and her left arm extended out toward the side. He stepped in toward her, shortening the distance between them so that when she pulled her hand away to raise her arms into fifth position and bent her leg he could place his hands on her waist, turning her in order to assist her in pirouette after pirouette.

      They had no audience, but Link was sure that even if his role in the pas de deux was meant to be more than support, the ballerina princess would hold the attention of every onlooker for she certainly held his (and not simply because their dance required it). He didn’t know who she was, this mysterious ballerina who brought peace to the hearts of many through dance, and he intended to find out, but he could be content for the time being if she danced with him now.

      When her turns were complete, he helped her slow to a stop, hands never leaving her waist as he kept her steady. Once again her right leg extended behind her, left arm reaching out in front while the other reached behind. His eyes trailed along the curve of her neck from where he stood behind her, something possessing him to lower his head and press a kiss to it. Her muscles stiffened in surprise and she lowered her leg, turning on flat feet to gaze at him with wide, yellow eyes. Eventually she withdrew from his arms when he did nothing but stare back in mild shock for his own actions, offering a flustered curtsy before leaping away, disappearing as she always did.

      As much as he deserved the bloody nose it was no surprise that this had happened. She’d rarely gotten punished for her fights with the Prince but what else could this be? Ordered to go exploring the valley with him, why hadn’t they told one of the higher ranking guards to go with him? Or better yet a fellow white uniform? It was clearly punishment, something neither of them were happy about- though perhaps it would not be overly obvious to any outside observers seeing as how they’d been silent since they reached the edge of the cliffs they were exploring.

      This silence was finally broken as a sound was heard off in the distance. The skies had been cloudy that day but nothing was thought of it; the air was warm as always and she had been too distracted by anger to bother paying attention to the weather. A glance over towards the river leading to the waterfall near the beginning of the valley was a clear indication she should have paid attention. The river was more volatile today, the waters higher; it had been raining in Hyrule and judging by the clouds Zenzi could only assume it was going to rain here.

      There was no time to head back to the fortress, the clouds were swiftly turning darker and they had wandered too far. Had it been normal rain she would not worry, that distant sound had her on edge though especially seeing how the river had risen. Reluctantly she turned to her companion with a serious expression on her face (she prayed her eyes did not show the fear that had her heart loudly thumping in her chest) and gathered her pride enough to speak of her concerns to him. 

      “I don’t know if you heard that but I don’t want to be out here when the rain starts. We need to find somewhere to take shelter until it passes.”
