Never Together (Rewritten) ||Modern AU Zelink

Chapter. 19

Impa, Paya, Purah, Link and I all sit around a table, eating and laughing. "I thought the teacher was gonna smack him!" Impa laughs, almost falling backwards off the bench. "Whoa! Be careful!!" I laugh as fear clouds her face as she stops herself from falling. "Hey, Zelda?" Link asks, scratching his neck. "Yes?" I smile, watching as his cheeks turn bright red. "Well I guess I have two questions... um the first being... C-can I um... can I-I call y-you baby..?" he mumbles, keeping his eyes down at the table... Impa, Purah, and Paya all go quiet, waiting for me to answer. I quickly regain my composure. "Oh um.. That caught me off guard.... But... Yes you can." I answer, feeling my cheeks burn as Link nods, the color in his cheeks deepening. "What was your second question?" Impa grins, giving me a funny look. "Well... I'll just ask that later." He chuckles his voice thick with embarrassment. "I'll make sure you ask." Impa cackles, taking a huge bite out of her sandwich. 

After school we all rush out of the car with our bags over our heads, trying to get out of the rain. Impa, Purah, and Paya all run inside as fast as they can as I give a funny little squeal as Link picks me up, taking the bag from my hands. "It's only a little rain." He grins. "Put me down! My skirt is too short for this!!" I giggle as he does a little spin. "As you wish, Princess." 

"How dare you!! I am no Princess!!" I growl hitting his chest. "Uh I believe you are and even if you weren't you still would be to me." He smirks, shaking my wet bag over my head. "Hey!!!" I squeak, running away. "Come back here! I still have one last question, remember?" He grins, knowing he has my attention. "Fine... But will you tell me when we're not in the rain?" I ask, slowly and cautiously making my way over to him. "Alright." He says walking over to one of the pillars. "Look at us! We're soaked!" I laugh. Link shakes his head like a dog, a funny grin on his lips. "Eee! Why!?" I shriek running away with a giggle. "Come back! I'm sorry!" He laughs, following me. "Ok, Ok stop getting me all wet! Soooo what is your question???" I ask eagerly. "Well.... I... hm.. I don't know why this is so hard! K you know what! I'm just gonna do it. Will you make cookies with me tonight, like a date?" 

"Yes, why were you struggling to ask me that?" I giggle watching him turn very very red. "I don't know. I guess it's... Kinda weird... I don't know! Ok? You just make me nervous I guess...." He rambles, glancing around, growing redder. "You make me nervous too. Now let's get out of these wet clothes and go make those cookies." I giggle, patting the side of his face. He just grins evilly. "Not what I meant!" I yell, turning pink. He just chuckles as I run into the castle. "I'm gonna take you up on that offer." He says running after me. "Still not what I meant! Change in your own room!!!" I squeak embarrassedly, running up the stairs. I get to my room, closing the door quickly. "Zelda! I was just joking! I promise I would never! I was just trying to get back at you for making me so red." He laughs through the door. "I know! Now go away so I'm not a cherry!!" I say covering my face, placing my back against the door. "Alright, see you in a bit... baby." I can hear the smile in his voice. "You're making it worse on purpose!!" I mumble loudly. "Haha! Yeah, k. Meet me in the kitchen... If I can find it." He chuckles. I hear him walk away and my cheeks BURN! I quickly change into white sweatpants and a sky blue cropped noodle strap tank-top. I brush out my hair, putting two blue clips in my hair to keep it out of my eyes. I look in the mirror. 'Jeez! I'm still a little flushed..' I think, scrunching my nose. I put on some socks, grab my phone and head to the kitchen. 

There I find Link looking through every cabinet and drawer. "What are you doing?" I laugh, watching his confusion. "This kitchen sucks! There is no organization, the ingredients are just ridiculous! Also I keep getting yelled at by staff. I didn't know it was a crime to be in a kitchen!" Link says exasperatedly. "Aw I'm sorry, I know you like to cook, but my grandparents don't like random people in their kitchen." I giggle, setting my phone down on the counter. "Yeah figured, but I got out what I thought we could use." He smiles, politely looking me up and down. Link is dressed in black sweatpants and a gray t-shirt, his blue sweatshirt sits on the counter next to the ingredients he pulled out, along with measuring cups. "So no recipe?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "Naw! We can wing it. You got a speaker?"
