Moogle of Love~

[Kopula is sending this out to everyone except for Link and Zelda. He doesn't much care for the man that his hero is stuck living with.]

I'm looking for a companion for my hero. I'm sure most of you know her, she's sweet and kind and everything wonderful! [He might have a small crush on Zelda.] She deserves someone just as amazing as she is!! She deserves a true hero! Someone who can take care of her because she always works so hard on her own. I know that the heroes aren't always concerned about love but I would really like your help.

I might not be explaining this well...

[His hand writing gets a little messy like he's writing the rest really fast.]

I'm looking for a companion for Zelda. I know she isn't in love here and she feels the need to protect her friend from home and look after him but she deserves to be happy too!!! I'm hoping to set her up on a nice date so she can find someone. If you can help.

Thank you,
-Kopula

It's something he doesn't want to ask, but the seed has been planted and doubt has become to water the soil of worry.

"Do you think.. Do you think he has a good reason for doing it?"

His eyes look away in the moment, looking to the floor in much the same manner as she does.

His question made her eyes snap up to his face. She didn't believe that Kopula was right at all and thinking that Link might believe it felt like a sharp pain being plunged in her heart.

"Of course not Link." Her voice was soft and sweet.

"Link." She spoke his name softly begging him to look back up at her.

He draws his head up, looking to her with a reluctant gaze.

"I know I haven't been as reliable as of late. There's been so much happening around the city.."

He pushes a hand against his forehead again, knowing the thoughts to be silly and unwarranted.

"Sorry, I just.. I always worry that maybe the Goddess made a mistake."

Zelda stepped forward, her hands reaching out towards Link.

"Of course not Link." She smiled a knowing smile. "Do you think I chose wrong?"

It wasn't the goddess that choose Link but Zelda. She always knew that there was something special in him.

"Remember what you told me? No secrets. We are doing this together." Her eyes search his. "I love you Link."

Oh geez. He's still very much not used to hearing those words, let alone how he should handle a response to them. A lump in his throat, difficult to swallow, his eyes moving around rapidly as they try not to stare too longingly at the woman who professes to him.

"I.. I love you, too, Zelda."

He swallows, the lump finally passing down his gullet and landing in his stomach like a rock. He had no reason to be worried about such feelings, but the reality of having a life with her was still something that didn't feel real.

"Link?"

Her tone was light, her fingers gently reaching for his hand and lacing between his callous digits. She took another slight step forward keeping her gaze on Link as she moved.

"Tell me what's worrying you. We can face it, together."

He waves a hand to dismiss her concern.

"It's nothing. It really is just that.. We've both been so busy that we haven't had any time to see one another. I've just been wondering how you've been doing, and I guess seeing this made me feel like I haven't been a good enough.. err.. boyfriend?"

Did he really say that? Reality felt so far away, even when he himself was stating their relationship so plainly.

Zelda's expression softened.

"I've been fine. Things have been busy but I've made sure to take breaks." Her gaze looked down at their hands where they met.

"But I'd love to spend more time with you." If it was for him then she'd take off of work early. Even if they were just able to sit and enjoy each others company.

"That's pretty selfish of me, though."

He scratches the side of his head, still looking rather worried about the whole situation he's brought to the table.

"You're helping so many people. It's not right for me to hog you when you're doing so much for the city. That'd be like trying to keep the Goddess all to myself."

Zelda shook her head. "It's selfish of me. I know there are other things I can do but I'd rather spend my time with you." She paused thinking about her future, trapped in the crystal for some unmeasurable amount of time. She hadn't the courage to look into her future when the files were revealed.

"Every day, every moment with you is precious. I don't want to waste that."

"It isn't a waste. I know that you're here and that we're together."

A sheepish smile appears on his lips, a soft filter of laughter following as he puts a hand to the top of her head. They're the same height, yet Link could not help but to rustle her hair whenever the tension arose.

"That's so like you, though. Selfish, yet selfless at the same time."

Zelda pouted her lip as his fingers messed up her golden locks. She peeked around his hand to look at him with a displeased look but the moment her eyes met his she found herself smiling. It was really hard to stay mad at Link, teasing or otherwise.

She gently took his hand in hers pulling him gently against her so that his arms would easily find their way to her waist.

“That’s a secret you know.” She giggled softly, looking up at her hero with stary eyes. “I think everyone thinks I’m nice,” which she didn’t really believe. She tried her best but she wasn’t all that nice.

Link laughs softly, easily slipping his hold above her hips to draw her in close as he presses his forehead against her own.

"It certainly is a secret to everybody.. except for me."

He raises a single hand again to continue messing with her hair, laughing softly all the while as they are close again after such a long absence.

Zelda laughed as he pulled her close, her fingers try to lace with his to stop him from messing with her hair though the hero seems determined to keep up the playful affection. Her head rests on his shoulder, her eyes closing as she inhales the sweet scent that often surrounds the young adventurer.

"We should make more time. Somehow..." Her voice trailed off and for a moment the future princess was lost in memories of the two of them together. A dream that only seemed palpable in this world.

"Is it selfish to want to stay here Link? I don't want us to go home." She didn't want to have to be a goddess

"You mean stay here? In Crystallis?"

It was odd for him to hear the person who had been most strict with their position in reincarnation speak in such a way. While life in this world had been more fruitful for them as a couple, the world they left still had much more for them to do. Obligations, destiny, and fate all had more in store for them.

"I mean.. What is your heart telling you?"

Zelda thought about it for a moment. Her eyes glancing down at Link’s collar bone, if only to help organize her thoughts. It was selfish, too selfish and even though her heart aches she knew what they had to do.

“That we have a destiny.”

Even if she didn’t choose it she’d be strong, for both Link and herself. He knew of the path she faced now and he still choose to be by her side. It might not be ideal and they might be separated but she’d live with no regrets.

Zelda smiled, her fingers tucking a loose strain of gold behind her ear. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…” She hadn’t meant to say that out load.

"It's hard to swallow a lot of the time. I know. You have it much harder than I do."

Hands rest on her shoulders, a finger moving from her right to raise her chin up so that their eyes meet and keep a hold on one another.

"But we're here for one another. It isn't selfish to want that. If and when we have the choice to make, I'd rather choose to spend a life of peace. Until then, we have to stay strong and we have to keep to our duty."

It felt strange being the one to offer the words of encouragement, considering how often she had been the words of wisdom that his courage had needed.

Zelda's eyes widened as his fingers directed her chin. She felt a slight tint of pink color her cheeks as he looked her in the eyes. She wasn't used to having Link comfort her like this and she was taken a little off guard.

Her expression softened and she smiled.

"You're right again. Thank you Link."

She took a step closer and then wrapped her arms around Link. She was very lucky to have him there for her.

"Ah- No need to thank me! It's what I'm here for, after all."

He rests his forehead against her own, closing his eyes as he puts a tighter hold on her shoulders.

"If you ever need me, I'm always here to see that you're safe and focused. You kept my head on my shoulders, even when I was still asleep in bed. It's my turn to be the one to help you."

Zelda’s lips curled into a warm smile as the warmth of his breath brushed across her cheek. Her eyes closed listening to the depth of his voice while the heat from his head melted into her own. It’s comforting even if it’s only a small gesture and for a moment she’s happy. She can’t be selfish yet but one day she just might.

“You do help me Link, even when you are away.” Her voice was soft and gentle, her countenance that of a goddess. Her head shifted, golden silky threads falling over her shoulder as she looked up at Link.

“Let’s have dinner. I was thinking of making soup.” As always he could choose what they ate. She wasn’t so picky and she liked to cook for him when she could.
