In retrospect, straight up kissing Zelda out of nowhere was kind of abrupt. Could have gone very wrong as well. As it turned out, things went rather well, and Link had a bit of a spring in his step since then. But he still felt a bit awkward for not actually using words to tell Zelda how he felt, so he had invited her to the Temple of Time in the sky to give her a *Proper* Confession.

He had collected a bouquet of Silent Princesses with a few Sundelions for the occasion, and had asked to meet her at the Temple of Time. With Link having the Shiekah Slate (configured to respond to the Shrines of Light) and Zelda the Purah Pad, they should both be able to make it up. He was able to keep the flowers safe in his inventory, so he could simply make the trip without worrying about crushing them on accident. Now he stood waiting inside the temple doors, holding the flowers behind his back, waiting for his Princess to make her appearance. Unable to keep still, he had taken to rocking back and forth on his heels. Hopefully she would get here soon...

Zelda has been in a bit of a daze ever since Link had abruptly pulled her into a kiss, and was especially awkward whenever Link was around- even moreso than usual. But she was walking on cloud nine. She had a lot of thoughts and feelings and was trying to process them- which was made difficult around Link. But she was glad when he suggested that they talk.

She appeared in a blue light at the temple of time, blinking as she placed the Purah Pad back on her hip. Her face immediately lit up when she saw Link, and she blushed as she hurried over to him. "Sorry, sorry! I'm late, I know!" She apologized, almost tripping over her words.

Girl, you were late by two minutes. Chill.

"S-So, um... W-What was it you wanted to talk about?" She asked sheepishly, brushing a bit of hair behind her ear.
Theron
As soon as he saw Zelda, a big goofy grin spread across Link's face. "You're barely late at all!" He laughed, subconsciously bouncing on his toes slightly faster. The room always seemed to brighten whenever Zelda entered. Unable to keep still, he walked forward to meet her, still holding the flowers behind his back. He could feel butterflies in his stomach, but he had come this far and there was no turning back!

"I got a surprise for you!" He told her excitedly, bending forward slightly. "But you gotta close your eyes first! Don't open 'em until I say so, okay?" Goddess, he couldn't stop smiling. It probably looked super dorky, but he decided he didn't care.
Jose
Zelda couldn't help but smile more, revealing her fangs, as Link lit up and got all excited- almost like a puppy. She giggled a bit, rolling her eyes. Of course he looked dorky- that was what was so cute about it to her.

"Okay, okay, closing-" She agreed, closing her eyes. She felt the butterflies in her stomach as the thought of him kissing her again crossed her mind, before she quickly tried to dismiss it.
Theron
Link's heart skipped a beat upon seeing Zelda's fangs again. He couldn't explain *Why* He liked them so much, but he absolutely did. The urge to kiss her again started to poke at him, but he waved it off. Maybe later. First he had to do this. As soon as she closed her eyes, he held out the flowers. "Okay... Open 'em!"

As soon as she did, his smile got a bit more bashful as he went over what he had decided to say in his head. He could feel his face heating up, but there really wasn't a point to hiding it. "So, um. I wanted to actually put my thoughts into words this time. Instead of, y'know, acting on an impulse from bottling it up too long." Link averted his eyes as he took a breath and rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand. "Zelda... I think you're special. I think you're really pretty and I like spending time around you. I like listening to you talk about your research and things that interest you because I like seeing how excited it makes you and seeing you smile makes me happy. I like you a lot, so..." Another breath, and he looked back up at Zelda. "...I know I'm just your knight, but I'd like to be more than that, if you'll let me."
Jose
Zelda blushed brightly as she opened her eyes, and just stared in silence as she listened to Link's confession, mouth slightly agape. She sat in stunned silence for a few seconds as Link finished his confession, before gently taking the bouquet of flowers, a small smile forming on her face and tears falling from her eyes.

"Oh, Link... How could I ever say no?" She asked quietly, leaning down a little to kiss him gently, wrapping her arms around him loosely. She started to wonder if any of this was real- it all felt like a wonderful dream. Her heart was racing, and she was crying- but she was so incredibly happy.
Theron
Was this... Actually happening? Zelda said yes? Zelda said yes! Link felt like his heart was going to swell up so much it would burst out of his chest, he was so *Happy* Right now! He wanted to kiss her again, but she beat him to it, and he closed his eyes and smiled into her lips. Unable to contain his excitement, he pulled her close and lifted her up off her feet to spin her around and around and around...

...Until he got dizzy and lost balance, falling backwards onto the floor with Zelda still in his arms. But instead of being embarrassed, he just laughed, a truly care-free laugh that came from a feeling of joy he didn't think anyone or anything could possibly take away from him right now. Zelda liked him back, and knowing that fact made him feel lighter than a feather.
Jose
Zelda giggled as she was lifted into the air and spun, before laughing as the two of them fell down. She didn't feel remotely scared of the fall- she knew that Link would protect her. She nuzzled her face into the top of Link's hair, grinning from ear to ear. "Geez, it took you long enough to ask," She teased, playfully smacking his shoulder. "You know it's rude to keep a princess waiting!"

Her smile and gaze softened a bit after this, holding Link a little closer. "But you were never *Just* My knight, Link. You've always meant something to me- even if it wasn't something pleasant when you first became my knight. You're so incredible and special... How could I resist?"
Theron
Link returned an equally soft look and reached up to tuck some of Zelda's golden hair behind her ear. She was so beautiful... Truly a goddess's descendant. He pulled her back down into another kiss; long, but gentle and sweet. He didn't know how he had gotten so lucky: his princess was really *His* Princess now. Link burned this memory into his mind's eye, forbidding himself to ever forget it so that he would always have this moment to return to on a bad day.

When they finally parted, Link sighed a little. "It's honestly kind of amazing to me," He said quietly. "A hundred years pass without you seeing me. I lose my memory and act like an entirely different person. But it doesn't change anything for you. You still like me... It's incredible."
Jose
Zelda kissed back, squirming happily in Link's arms, enjoying the kiss just as much as Link was. She whined a little bit when Link pulled away, but listened intently, before smiling more. "Well, I was fighting for *You* That whole time," She reminded him gently, tilting her head slightly. "I knew you could defeat Calamity Ganon, and that you would save Hyrule. I didn't anticipate you losing your memory- but you were still true to yourself. And I love *You*- not what you do or act like!" She shimmied down a little bit, before resting her head against his chest, closing her eyes. "The you from before the calamity is just as lovable as you are now."
Theron
*I love you.*

Link often found it difficult to love himself. Maybe it was his ability to come back to life after dying, maybe it was his past failures haunting him, maybe a combination of those and other things. So hearing those three words from Zelda felt... Strange. It probably shouldn't, since he and Zelda obviously both liked each other, but *Like* Was different than *Love.* It hit harder, meant something far deeper. Link had been afraid to use the word "Love," But he knew that's what this was. He could feel a lump in his throat.

"...I love you too," He choked, and pulled her back into another kiss, then another, and another. Her lips, her cheeks, her forehead, her nose, every bit of her face he could reach he pressed a kiss into, knowing he had tears rolling down his own but not caring enough to wipe them away. He finally returned to her lips for a long, deep kiss that Link hoped would come anywhere close to telling Zelda just how much she meant to him, because it wasn't something words could convey.
Jose
Zelda laughed as Link started kissing her all over her face, absolutely beaming. She had a brief moment of panic when she realized she had declared her love for him, and her face was still beet red, but she didn't care anymore. All that mattered right now was Link. She brushed his tears away gently, before, after a minute or two, pulling away slowly- almost hesitant to let the moment go.

"Honestly, you're too cute," She giggled, resting her forehead against his for a moment before getting up, and offering a hand to help Link up as well. "Did you *Honestly* Think I wouldn't feel the same way? Honestly, I feel like I should be offended," She teased.
Theron
Link smiled as he sat up and took her hand. "It's probably the low self-esteem talking," He admitted, standing up. "You're so amazing, I didn't think I would be lucky enough to have you. It feels like my wildest, craziest dream come true."

Link took both her hands in his own, looking at the flowers he had given her clasped between them. Zelda, his flower, his Silent Princess, who had bloomed so beautifully, loved him back. He looked back up and gave her a kiss on the nose before gently brushing away some strands of hair from her face. "Alright... Ready to go home? I'm hungry, I can make us something special to celebrate!"
Jose
Zelda giggled a bit, beaming at Link as he kissed her nose and brushed some hair behind her ear. She nodded, squeezing Link's hand. "Yeah... Yeah, that sounds good!" She agreed, kissing his forehead. "I'll help out where I can! Let's get going!"
