Efflorescence (Zelink)

Chocolate

Magic... If that would ever exist... Like love, it comes with both terrible advantages and good ones. That was random, so I will continue with what is going on.

After we've watched the film and stuff, we are allowed to do whatever we want, and I go with Peach and Samus into the common room and sit down on a couch, resting my legs on Samus' lap and try to find topics I want for upcoming poems.
"Write about how you feel", Peach says with ease, and shrugs.
"About what?"
"About certain boys."
"Ugh, don't you dare!" I throw a pillow at her. Peach grins, and continues with painting her long nails in a violet color.

"By the way, do you want a makeover?" Peach looks up again.
"Got my curiosity."
"Well, I'll bring my case." She stands up, gracefully lifting her skirt, and literally flies away.
"Doing nothing is kind of weird, do you have also that feeling?" Samus wets the tip of her finger, and turns a page over.
"You mean after all those days? Yeah." I smile. Like I've did quite many times in the past time.

"Girl, look what we can do... You have beautiful eyes, we need to make them... You know... Boom, when he sees you!" Peach takes my chin, and turns it to the side. "Fine. I'll just do what comes into my mind, okay?"
I nod. "Be careful to not make me look like a whore."
"I will."
Once Peach has started, her brush often tickles my cheeks, causing me to chuckle slightly.

"She looks like a brat", Samus comments within, and Peach glares at her.
"Definitely not. You just don't have any experience", she applies mascara onto my lashes, "with beauty."
"Are you insane?!", Samus pouts angrily.
"Well, you never even bother to style yourself up. I don't wonder why Ike or whoever has never asked you out."
"I don't need it to feel myself beautiful!"
"Don't worry, nobody needs." I turn towards the male voice, gasping once I've recognized it as Link one's. Envy? In all his purity.

"Go away, we are busy!", Peach reclaims.
"I just thought the ladies need some company?"
"Not at all", the blonde girl responds, licking over her full lips.
"That's sad. I've got something here..." Link comes closer, sitting cross-legged next to me. I acknowledge his hotness. Well, not only his temperature though...
"If it's cake, stay forever." Peach continues with putting a rosé tone of lipstick onto my mouth, but suddenly, she stops.

"Link, I gotta ask you something."
"Huh?" He pulls out a box, and I have no clue what is inside.
"It is unnecessary though to apply lipstick on this pretty girl, when you are going to smudge it anyway this evening?"
I flinch embarrassed, and my cheeks grow hot. I do hope that, but... Urgh, she's driving me crazy!
"Peach", I whine ruefully. Link luckily doesn't answer, thanks Hylia.
"What? It's true. Or let's better put it on, so we can see if it worked or not." She continues, while Samus can't stop laughing loudly. I glare at her.
"I bet ten dollars."
"Got me."

"Anyways, um, the actual reason I-"
"Samus look at him! Oh lord." Peach laughs like she is under alcohol. "We got him."
I shyly look over to Link, whose hands are totally sweaty, but his eyes however stay calm.
His voice speaks louder now: "The actual reason I am here is because I know you love books so..." He dumps the whole content out of the box, and I swear those are like... Twenty books?!
"I got you some. These are your first Christmas presents." My eyes have widened by the sight of all those gifts, literally sent from God. The thing why I love books is; it's so much easier to fall in love with fictional characters, and live by their side, than to deal with real ones.

I cry out, and throw myself into his arms, hugging him, and inhaling his body odor like it is my drug.
"Oh Hylia, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I plant kisses all over his face, his cheeks, his nose... I am so thankful. The sad thing is though, the more books I have, the less I will talk to people so he basically built his own trap.
