Malink things I hope to use in the future
“Handsome? Exciting? Mysterious?” He listed off the traits in the same sharp commanding voice he used when he was giving orders to his troops. An odd tone to use when complimenting himself.
“Defensive.” She finished, shooting him an extra round of scrutiny.
“This is... very friendly Link...” Malon felt her breath catch as he continued to kiss the edge of her mouth.
“Very friendly.” He repeated, somehow managing to sound as though he were the one being kissed into oblivion.
“One of your fans I presume.” Ganondorf flashed that mocking grin. The kind that had haunted her for so long. “Pretty enough I suppose.”
“You should see her when she has a dagger through your throat.” Malon growled, unsheathing her dagger for emphasis.
“This is my favorite part of the day.”
“I would have though it would be your least favorite...”
“You’re only saying that because it’s a good day. What about when it’s a bad one?”
“I especially love the bad times.”
“Really? With all the pained looks and twitching, I would have expected you to find them satisfactory at best.”
“What can I say? I enjoy a challenge.”
“I... got you some flowers.” Link shoved the bouquet towards her. Too nervous to look at her face as he did so. Any and all looks of utter disappointment coming from Malon would have easily sent him off into weeks of berating and backpedaling. Of all his horrible suggestions, Mikau had been right about one thing: staring at his feet was a great tactic for avoiding someone’s reaction.
Everything stayed completely still for a time. Worry tugged his gut into feverish knots when he couldn’t feel Malon reach up and grab the flowers from him. Instead, he felt something bat the bouquet away.
He glanced up just in time to see Malon spit out a petal. A blush heating his face as he realized he’d just shoved a handful of flowers right into Malon’s face.
And then she started laughing.
All the worry and stress of the past few weeks faded into relief. It was hard to know if he was successfully amusing her, or annoying her with how well she hid her emotions. Luckily, her laughter was the perfect answer for that.
Link rubbed his eyes in exhaustion. Slowly meeting the gaze of all the delegates. “I think this is a matter you ought to take to the Princess.” Taking a deep breath to keep the room from spinning, Link pushed forward. “I have very little experience when it comes to political issues. In truth, I think it’s silly to ask a guy who’s never read more than a passing sign what a kingdom’s economy would need to flourish.”
He’d said too much hadn’t he? Everyone was staring at him with shock written all over their faces. Even Zelda looked surprised.
Giving a long huff, Link fell further back into his bed. Grabbing the blankets to pull over his bandaged side. “I think I would like to rest now.” Wait... that was rude. Popping open an eye, he shot Zelda a pleading look. “If you all don’t mind?”
The surprise melted into a smile as she nodded. “Let’s let the Hero rest.”
“I’m no doctor Miss, but even I know that your in no condition to go back there.”
Din what a thick headed idiot. Still. He had a point. A stupid one. But a point nontheless.
Link’s voice pulled her from her thoughts. She sat up, confused. “Thank you? For what?”
“For not laughing at me back then.” He hesitated before adding, “For not laughing at me now.”
She smiled, shaking her head in disbelief. “Silly fairy boy, anyone who really knows you would know they ought not to laugh at the words you say. Because you’re just the right amount of stubborn and will that when you say you will do something, it will be done.”
“If only I knew what that something is.” He muttered, a shadow crossing his features.
“You’ll figure it out soon enough.”
... There’s a lot more where that came from... I have a problem. Anyways which one was your favorite?
