*Sent* / Zelink Modern AU Fanfiction

Running

I drive out of the school parking lot and out into the street. Even though I should be in a hurry to get home, I drive under the speed limit... because I don't actually want to go home, if I can even call it that. I drive past the track... and see Link running back to it. He is so athletic... he must train whenever he has free time... like he is not only on the football and swim team, but he's also does track and cross country. Zelda, stop... you can't think about him right now. If Father knew that I was going on a date he would kill me... and probably Link too. I shake Link out of my head and turn on one of my spotify playlists... let's just say... Link wouldn't like this playlist. I continue to drive past the school, getting closer and closer to my Father... who is probably standing behind the door awaiting my arrival.

Link's POV:

To watch Zelda drive off in tears made me feel awful. She was clearly upset, but she tried to hide it... well, not very well. I couldn't even help her... she was in such a hurry to get home. Maybe after practice I'll text her... see if she's okay, but right now I need to get back to practice. I don't want Urbosa to get mad at me for running out on practice. I make my way back to the track and start running around it like I didn't just run out on practice. I make my way around the track and past the bleachers where Urbosa is standing.

"Link! Get over here!" Urbosa yells at me. Yeah... I didn't see myself getting out of this one. I walk over to her and... she is smiling at me.

"Yes, coach Urbosa." I say a bit confused.

"Link." She says as she puts her hand on my shoulder. "So why did you decide to run out on practice." She asks.

"Um... I wanted to check on Zelda, she seemed upset." I say a little bit confused why she is smiling right now.

"Of course you did." She says still smiling. "So, a little birdie told me you asked Zelda out yesterday, is that true?"

"Oh... um yes I did... why?" I ask.

"No reason... just wanted to know if it's true. And since it is... I need you to promise me something." She says, as her smile slightly disappears.

"Ok..." I say a bit confused.

"I need you to promise me that if you date Zelda, that you will never do anything to hurt her. Does that sound like something you can do? Because if not then you can just forget about d-"

"Yes, I promise I will never hurt her." I interrupt her. I want her to know that I care about Zelda.

"Ok, well... go on. Keep running." She says as she points to the track. I nod at her and start running around the track again. I wonder how Urbosa and Zelda know each other... they seem really close.

Once practice is over, I rush to the boys locker room. I quickly strip off my clothes and take a shower, but I wasn't quick enough. The rest of the boys all start walking into the locker room laughing and shoving each other around. I quickly pull the shower curtains shut and grab the soap bar... I need to wash off all this sweat. "Hey Link!" I hear Ganon yell from outside the shower. Hylia... why does Ganon do every sport that I do. I just ignore him, I need to get out of here as fast as possible... but I hate how that if I go out there, I have to get dressed in front of them. The curtain suddenly flies open and I quickly cover myself with my hands. Ganon and two of his friends are standing right in front of me... but they aren't clothed.

"What the fuck are you doing!" I yell at him.

"Oh, sorry Link, but the rest of the showers are full, mind if we join you?" Ganon says as he and his two friends start to walk in. Those two look very familiar... Oh my Hylia. Those are the two guys from yesterday, the guys that held Zelda in the hallway to make her listen to Ganon. I think their names are... Kohga and Sooga. "So, Link... I heard that you are officially going on a date with Zelda on Friday after the game."
