Fallen Feels (Modern Zelink AU)

Chapter 22: Zombies.

Zelda's Home

Zelda was at home and met up with Mipha und Urbosa to talk about the newest problem. Link.

Link was very distant the last couple of days he barely talked to her and looked at her even fewer times. She doesn't know why he acts like this so she has to talk with her friends maybe they got advice for her.

She was close to tears while talking.

"I really don't know what happened guys, after the case with the bomb he suddenly was so cold to me. He also just shows up to work when he really needs to, when he doesn't need to he just works from home or at the crime scene itself. I don't know what to do."

The two girls just looked at her with pity in their eyes, trying to come up with an answer. Urbosa was the one to talk first.

"Come on Zelda, it's okay. But have you thought about why this may have happened?"

"I did, and I don't know. All I know is that he is acting like a complete jackass."

"But this is not Link, you know him better than this. He is a nice guy and he always has been, he is respectful thoughtful, and never wants to disappoint anyone. There has to be a reason for this behavior."

"Yeah well, what is the reason." 

Urbosa didn't know, she wasn't link after all, but Mipha did have an idea.

"After you got shot you told him that you build up a wall and that you need time for it to come down. Might it be the case that he is tired of waiting? He is now waiting for almost half a year and nothing happened."

"So it's my fault? I need time to heal. How can he be tired of waiting and act like this then?"

"Can you blame him? I mean the guy loves you more than anything and despite the way, you behave you are also mad in love with him too."

Zelda looked at Mipha in a way that told her that she didn't agree with what she said. Mipha just shook her head and continues.

"What? Was this supposed to be a big secret?"

"Yes! No? Do you think he knows?"

"He does that's why he is acting this way, he knows you love each other but still you keep him waiting."

"Yeah but Mipha..." Zelda was cut off by Mipha.

"I know you're dealing with stuff. But you can't ask him to wait forever. Unless of course, you are okay with the way he behaves."

Zelda was defeated she knew Mipha is right but, she doesn't have anything to say against it but still, something is holding her back. 

Before anyone could say anything else, Zelda's phone rang. It was the Police Precinct. They have a new murderer case. They all got up and went to their cars.

The murder happened at a small motel, it was a very cheap and dirty place, nothing unusual for a murder to take place here. The whole team arrived, except for Link. He was late. But after half an hour he too showed up.

But not in the way they might have liked. Zelda wanted to talk to him but with how he was arriving she quickly changed her mind. 

Link came in a white brand new Mercedes-Benz with two other girls in the car as well. Without stepping too close to the girls they looked like top-tier hookers. When Link got out of the car the two girls did too. They both kissed Link and then got into the car and drove away. 

Zelda couldn't say a word, she was completely shocked by Link's behavior. She couldn't talk to him, not now at least. Maybe never. Unfortunately, they are partners and have to work on this case together so when they walked towards the victim Zelda couldn't stand the silence.
