"Oh come on...Don't cry..." Link reassured, "I'm sorry...I got too caught up with talking and wasn't aware of my brashness earlier..."
"Leave me alone!" I screamed as I broke away from his hold. "Allow me some privacy would you? Why are you always up my ass?"
I violated his privacy earlier, and now I want the opposite in return. Both of us knew the amount of hypocrisy in that sentence. Despite that, the blonde chose silence and did not argue further.
I was slowly calming down; however, my anger shot up once again after rethinking the situation earlier, when he showed that girl affection, affection that belonged to me.
I turned around all teary-eyed and back-peddled in tiny steps. Now thinking back on it, I was overreacting to a hilarious extent. What can I say, it doesn't take much to completely shatter my fragile composure.
Before I could move any further, Toon Link quickly grabbed my shoulders and pulled me into a lovely boyfriend snuggle, like he usually does when my emotions get the best of me.
"Let's not let this get between us, I shouldn't have said those stupid things-"
"I told you to back off!" I yelled, still consumed by anger, "S-stop..."
I struggled to break free and swung my arms wildly at him. In all honesty, I never wanted to actually hit him. Not that it matters from his perspective, because one of my punches nailed him right in the face.
A clean smash right in his face.
He shot back, head in hand, and groaned in pain. Despite my current feelings of anger, guilt ran over my body as I saw his agony-filled grimace.
"Sorry...Sorry," I said, "I didn't mean to, oh god, I didn't mean to-"
A dark red bruise appeared on his cheek, as blood started leaking from his mouth. The stream of crimson ran down his neck and onto his shirt, staining it.
This was about the time I realized, that this entire situation was entirely my fault. My raging jealousy caused our quarrel and my selfish outrage stained my hands with blood. My boyfriend, is on his knees, blood running out of his mouth thanks to the person he loves most in the entire world.
I ran towards him and dropped to my knees. My hands ran down his face, frantically trying to wipe away the deluge of blood gushing down.
"I don't know what to do," I panicked, "Where's the nearest hospital? Talk to me!"
For many moments, I was completely out of ideas. I was stressed to the point of near insanity: How could he ever forgive me now, would he even be able to forgive me anymore. With how much blood he's losing, could he die of blood loss?
Suddenly, he turned his face around to me and grinned.
"Oh Hylia, you are so cute when you get all worried." He chuckled, eyes holding back tears from pain. "This is probably not an appropriate time to be all flirty, but I can't help it..."
"You are losing so much blood" I cried, "Stop laughing! What have I done...what have I done-"
"I'm fine...It's only external damage. It's not like my guts are in pieces...But I think you might have slightly fractured my jaw, but that's fine."
"What...WHAT! It's not fine..." I said anxiously, "What do you mean..."
"Here..." He said while he fondled my face and pulled me in. Our tongues touched for only a second before he broke away, touching his open wound and holding on to his smile.
"Yeah, you definitely broke something...what a punch Villa, compared to a couple of months ago." He said as he took off his shirt and held it to his mouth. "That'll do, to stop the blood. See? I'm fine now!"
"I...I broke-"
"Oh stop it! I'm fine...It's not your fault."
"But it quite literally is my fault, I punched you!"
"You didn't do it on purpose, that's not you...I know you good enough." He said, "I'll get it to Medley, she'll figure something out."
The ocean beneath us splashed against our legs, he smiled at me once more and gave me an additional kiss on my already cherry-colored cheeks, partly from the kiss earlier, but mostly from shock and stress.
"We should forgive each other Villa, we were both pretty stupid today. I think we should call it even-"
"No...It's not fair for you, you have done nothing wrong." I said. "I'm a horrible person, how could you forgive me like that...You can't forgive me like this."
"Why not?" He towered over me and played with my hair, "I said stupid things, and this is what happens to stupid people, they get punched. As long as you forgive me, I'll forgive you any day...Well, you don't have to forgive me...But heh..."
"I'm so sorry Link-"
"Apology already accepted," he cuts me off, "Come on, let's go back."
"How can I ever repay you..."
"If I had to pick a condition, it has to be," he fixed his hair, "Just...I love you...and you should keep that in mind...and not get heh... ya know."
"Jealous," I finished his sentence, "I'm such a horrible person-"
"No, you are not...Babe," He blushed as he finished, "Would it be too early to call you Babe..."
"I...Don't mind..."
"Great," He laughed, "Despite everything that happened earlier, at least you showed me one thing."
"Huh?"
"You showed me that you really love me, like, really love me."
