C.3- One favor
"You don't understand!"
"Then tell me!"
"I can't..."
He ran a hand into his blond hair then toke my hand in mine "If I did, you'd be upset with me." His blue eyes shifted up into my own blue eyes-- he tilted his head and gave a long hard sigh.
"I'm upset with you, right now..." I said softly.
" I know... but if you found out. I don't think we would be friends anymore." He said and walked out of my room.
---
The first sensation I felt when I grew conscious, was the cold feeling on my forehead. Where am I? Did something happen--?
I tried to pick my head me, but once I moved my head started to throb. I tried to open my eyes but blurry dots would invaded my vision-- I think it was thirty minutes before I finally attempted again to move my aching body.
"Is someone awake?" I heard a deep voice say.
I opened my eyes and lifted my head up so fast, my vision went blurry and my head felt dizzy for a few seconds. I looked around when I relized I didn't know where I was-- My bedroom? How'd I get here?
My eyes scanned the room and I saw a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes sitting at the end of the bed... Link. Like a cold brick the events that had token place in castle courdyard hit me. Questions raced in my mind;
"Do you remember me!?" I blurted out.
I felt my cheek flush bright red-- did I just ask that?
I put my head down because I was too embarrassed to look at him.
"I remember someone named Zelda?" he arched his eyebrow as if he really didn't know who I was-- that made me laugh. He lips also formed into a small smile.
"Why did you leave?" I blurted out again.
There was an akward slience after then, in fact, the room was so quiet I could hear my heart pumping. The slience that had washed against us, made me blush more as I swirled a piece of hair in my finger-- why did I say that?
"I had to."
I rolled my eyes at him I shouldn't have accepted much, "Please, Link... Tell me."
"When the time is right I will, but for now I can't."
There was another pause of akward slience, than Link brushed a few stands of his blonde bands back. He opened his mouth yet no sound came then he leaned his hand on his chin as if in though.
"He doesn't know."
"Who?"
"Your father or Impa. They don't know about this."
"Then how did I get in my bedroom." I paused and though about it. Did he? He couldn't have, I decided I would ask him "Did you carry me?"
He nodded and turned his head away from me. I swear I saw him blush, but I wasn't gonna push it. He gave me a toothy grin and half-nervously said "That's what a friend's for."
"We're not friends." I said coldly. But as I said it guilt travel up my body. Why? Why was I the one who felt guilty? He was the one who hurt me. I continue to glare at Link with sharp eyes, trying not to let the guilt take control of me.
He started at me for a minute, cleared his throat, then spoke "I understand your feelings. We're not friends nor anything else, just a knight and a princess..."
I felt really guilty now-- he didn't get mad at me and I just relized that he saved my life. I have to let go of the past; that was the old Link, this is the new one. But I was still angry-- he still hadn't told me why he leave he just did.
It had been four years since he had left, four year of hearing nothing from him. No letters-- nothing. I nodded then he pressed on my forehead but all I felt was coldness. I looked up and noticed a rag on my forehead as if Link could read my thoughts he said...
"When you were unconscious, your body was hot (temperature wise of course) so I assumed you had a fever."
"Oh... Thank you. I'm fine now" I toke the rag from my forehead and handed it to Link, which he toke.
"If you ever need me use this..." he handed me a piece of paper.
"How long was I unconscious?"
"A day, it's morning."
"Link, there's something I need to ask yo-"
Link put his hand in the air in front of him, and calmly said "No more questions. I'll leave to alone to give you time to think."
I was about to ignore his answer and ask him anyway but before I could he walked out my room. There was a strange loneliness in the room when he left, I stayed there until about noon.
Why did Link have the master sword? Who was that girl and how did she know my name...
There was my other problem, why had I felt so guilty when I snapped at Link that I'm not his friend. He carried me here and saved my life-- and I'm treating him like shi-, opps, excuse my laguage there, I normally don't curse but it almost slipped out.
I decided to finally gaet out of bed still wearing the same outfit I did for the day before. I was going to find Link so he can answer my questions, and I'm not taking no for an answer. My head still hurt but I still walked in the halls of hyrule castle, I lived here all my life and I still have trouble finding my way.
About an hour or so later, I finally found him in the training room. He was beating up a bunch of wooden dummies... with a trainee sword. But didn't he have the master sword-- I still don't know how. Wouldn't he use it instead of a sword?
Was I just imgining it? It seemed real...? But there was a lot going on in my life and I decided I would ignore it... for now.
He glanced at my from his training and smiled. It was the same smile he always used-- this is what I'm talking about. Link is so different now yet he's the same, I still haven't even warped my head around that Link is back.
It feels so good but so painful to have him back. What does this mean...
"How did you know I was here?" he said.
"I didn't. I just walked around until I found you.."
He pressed his hand on my head, I wanted to slap his hand away but I couldn't. He smiled faded "You're still warm. Are you sure you don't wanna go back to your room?"
"I'm fine." I lied, my head feels that someone's bashing it into a stone wall but I didn't say that.
"As long as you don't faint again, than I believe you."
That last comment made a little smile creep on my rosy lips. He laughed at me and said "I forgot how cute you are when you smile." I could almost imgine him pinch my cheek when he said then.
That really made my blush, no serious I think you could mistake me from a tomato. Fearing that Link would see I put my head low and spoke as calmly as I could "We're not friends remember. A knights not suppose to say that to a princess."
Link nodded "Sorry I- just... I'm sorry." He looked up at the celing and I could swear he was blushing but when he looked back at me, this skin was the same color. "Do you want to be alone?"
I shook my head as guilt traveled up my body in crazy swirls and patterns.
I feel like such a snob for saying that-- yet he didn't say anything. He didn't get angry like other people who would rage that I said something so rude.
I was raging at myself right now, for saying much a thing. I couldn't tell if he was again but I swear to the goddesses hurt flashed in his electric blue eyes for a second... I acted so harshly.
"No, it's fine. I was the one to over react. I have something to ask you-" I said in barely a whisper.
"I'm sorry. I told you no more questions."
"It's not a question, it's a favor."
"Go on..." Link arched his sharp left eyebrow.
"Teach me how to fight."
