Never Together (Rewritten) ||Modern AU Zelink

Chapter. 17

I wake to a notification and an immense pounding on my door. "Impa! Get the bloody door!" I grumble, groggily throwing a pillow at her as she lays asleep on the couch. "Ugh! It's your flippin room!" she hisses jumping to her feet, sleepily stumbling over to the door. "Purah?! What the hell do you want?!!" Impa growls angrily. "Zelda is all over the news! And so is Link!" She utters quickly, pulling Impa from the room. I sit up rolling my eyes, grabbing my phone. 

*Lonk 🥰" Good morning 😊" 

Zelda" Good morning. Will you come to our wing? Purah is freaking out about something." 

Lonk 🥰" Yeah sure. See you in a sec."*

I can't help but smile as I get out of bed and take my time walking into Purah's room to find Paya sitting on the couch squeezing a pillow. "I don't know why you bother watching the news." I mumble as Purah turns up the volume. 

'*( It seems as though our own soon to be crowned Princess used her alleged 'kidnapping' to get with the popular athlete and band member Link Wild. Yesterday many people saw them holding hands, walking around London and even having a picnic at the small gazebo near Hyrule field and someone even got a picture of them very close in proximity.)*'  

As we're watching I feel a hand slip into mine. I turn my head to find Link smiling back at me. "So what's going on?" He whispers, looking around, slightly confused. "You're on the news." Impa mutters, taking a seat next to Paya. '*( Well Nada what is your opinion?)*' 

'*( I'm not sure.. We don't really know much of what's happening. I think with a proper interview form either of them would shed some light on the situation.)*' 

"What a load of bull. They just want an interview so they can twist your words. I hate the news and journalists." Link spits angrily. "It doesn't matter. People can think what they like, as long as we know the truth." I say walking to the door. "Where are you going?" Impa asks, making Purah sit. "back to bed. It's five and I'm tired." I say shaking my head leaving the room. Link follows me out, closing the door behind him. "Uh... Sorry I should have asked if I could come with you but... I just.... I kinda wanted some... alone time... with you." He mumbles, unable to look me in the eyes. "Oh?" I grin, placing my hands on my hips. "Is that weird... Or wrong?!" He asks, worriedly. "No, no... It's normal... I think.." I utter scrunching my brow. I back into my door, opening it slowly. "So... I can follow?" 

"Yes." I smile. "You do.. Actually, never mind." He says, following me into my room. "No, what was it?" 

"I was just going to say you were still in your pajamas, but then I remembered you said you were tired." He smiles, pulling me from the door, closing it gently. "I'm always tired now." 

"Nightmares?" He asks as I climb into bed. "Sometimes... But others I just end up waking up at random times." 

"Aw I'm sorry." 

"You're acting a little weird..." I giggle, patting the spot next to me. "Sorry... I'm not quite sure how boyfriends act." He sighs, taking his shoes off, getting on the bed. "Just act like yourself." I say adjusting the covers until I'm comfortable. "Ok." He sighs, wrapping me up in his arms. I get a text just as I'm about to doze off. "Ugh!" I grumble, unmoving. Link leans over grabbing my Phone, handing it to me.
