Summary: Link loves Zelda' smile and laugh, so much that he gets flustered.

❤️Fluff❤️

Zelda wanted to go out of the castle for a bit, something about fresh air and also not to mention the fact she was stressed from all the pressure of trying to awaken her power. Link, of course, accompanied her, the blonde princess didn't protest about that, in fact she had wanted him to come along anyway. Zelda had gotten used to Link, she was annoyed by him at first but she does like him. Possibly a lot more than she thought she could.

Zelda was propped up against a large tree trunk, a book in her hand which contained some things she had been researching on. The Sheikah slate beside her. It was likely that she would find something out here that she wanted to take a photo of to research on, especially different spieces or insects. Link was a few inches away from her, his sword in hand as he practised swinging it. Not that the Hylian hero needed to practice, he was an extremely skilled swordsman. Princess Zelda found herself glancing at Link a few times, completely and utterly distracted, watching as he practiced sword movements. Zelda couldn't help but smile at him every now and then. But this time Link had caught her eyes as he turned to look behind him, the princess smiled and Link turned away, blush on his face.

To that Zelda chuckled, only increasing the blush on the heroes face. The blonde princess thought it adorable. Whenever she smiled at him or laughed. Link' instant reaction was to be flustered and Zelda loved to tease him with it a lot now. Although she couldn't talk, there had been a few times when the silent hero had smiled back at her, her reaction being the same. Zelda let out a sigh, stood up and put the book she was using down. Sheikah slate in hand, she tapped Link on the shoulder and the hero put away his sword and turned to her. He was still blushing like an idiot and Zelda couldn't help herself. She put the sheikah slate on photo mode and captured a picture of Link' flustered features. Link instantly let out a surprised gasp and reached for the sheikah slate, which Zelda moved behind her. "I'm keeping that for myself" she chuckled.

"You look so adorable" Zelda added, teasing Link.

Link walked closer to her and tried to take the slate again, but Zelda turned around and this time had it in front of her. What she didn't expect was Link to wrap his arms around her waist, trying to grab it again. Zelda let out a gasp but then laughed as Link had effortlessly lifted her up a little (she is canonically taller than Link). "Put me down!" She exclaimed, laughing.

Link protested letting out a groan to express that he wanted her to delete that photo. "I won't delete it! It's mine for safe keeping! Unless you want me to show the others, put me down!" Zelda added, teasing him. The princess loved getting these reactions out of Link, she found herself doing it often. The threat she made was clear, so Link put her down. The two of them looked at each other and started in a fit of laughter. Putting the Sheikah slate in her pocket, Zelda placed her hand on Link' arm, still laughing.

Through their fit of laughter, Zelda smiled at Link and she swore Link smiled back. The blonde loved Link' smile, it was a rare sight but one of her favourite things, she felt lucky to be able to see the heroes smile. And the way he looks at her, despite the fact he shows no emotion on his features...Zelda swore she could see him look at her the way she looks at him, with admiration (sometimes annoyance) but also love...she couldn't love Link, could she?

Either way she found herself liking Link way too much.

After calming down, Zelda cleared her throat. Gaining the attention of Link. Zelda didn't think twice about her next actions, but she practically tackled Link into the grass, catching him off guard. He let out a 'yelp' and Zelda couldn't help but laugh again, giving him that smile that he loves so much. She lay beside him in the grass as the two of them look up to the sky, it looked like it would rain soon, and besides Zelda should be back at the castle. "Do you ever think about who you would be if you weren't a knight?" Zelda asked, turning to Link. The blonde looked back at her, but he didn't speak a word. "I suppose you hadn't, there' no need. And also, you still owe me a bow lesson. I'd probably give father a heart attack, but I would like to learn." Zelda added. Link kept his eyes on her as the princess spoke, giving his full atention.

He was happy, seeing Zelda like this, nerding out about different things, talking about lessons on weapons she wanted him to teach her. Link never showed much emotion, but when it came to Zelda and they were alone, he allowed himself to express it a little more.

After all, he found himself falling for the princess Zelda, he shouldn't but he can't stop. Whilst Zelda talked about things shes passionate about, having Link' full attention as they lay on the ground underneath the tree, everything seemed calm. That was until it started to pour down with rain around Hyrule, thunder had come. Zelda and Link both shot up from where they lay, going over to the horses that grazed. "I guess thats our sign to head back." Zelda sighed, cursing at the rain for ruining it.

But nothing was going to stop her from doing something first, not even heavy rain nor thunder. Before she and Link mounted their horses, she grabbed the heroes hand, yanked him back towards her, Link almost faltered out of shock.

Zelda leaned closer and placed a kiss to Link' cheek, the blonde hero tried to hide the fact that made him flustered again, Zelda giggled a little at that. "Thank you for accompanying me Link, even if it' your duty. Today was lovely." No words about the kiss on the cheek was exchanged after that, they rode back to Hyrule Castle, but it was likely Link would never forget that.

Atleast he hoped he would never forget.

He never wanted to forget Zelda' smile, nor laugh or her voice and the way she nerded out about her passions, she was so beautiful, so strong and courageous (and stubborn) but Link found himself loving every part of the Princess Zelda.

❤️️- fluff 🖤- Angst

Always (❤️️🖤) - Whilst Zelda is home and things seem to be going back to normal, everyone tries to move on, but Zelda cannot. Link gets her to confide in him, even if she struggles with that.

Look at me like that (❤️️) - Link loves Zelda' smile and laugh, so much that he gets flustered.
