I'll Be Your Hero (link x reader fanfic)

Ball

You and Link arrive at the doors. Two guards stop you at the door. The one on the right speaks up first. "Who is this Sir Link?" The one in the left inspects you and notices the knife strapped to your thigh. He brings to reach for his sword when Link cuts in. "This, my good sir, is my good friend (y/n)." "Why is she armed?" Link glances at your thigh. "We've been traveling. She's quite the skilled swords woman actually. With bubblin still roaming the fields I told her to bring defense. My apologies." Link has never sounded so formal before. You kind of liked it. You liked the goofy Link more of course. The guard huffed and looked at you. "Would you mind handing over your weapons before entering." You nodded and handed over your sword and knife. With that the two of you walked inside.

It was huge! Bigger than anything you've ever seen. The throne room had a long walk way. Above the throne was a triforce with the goddesses around it. It was grand. Sitting in the throne was Princess Zelda herself. Her porcelain skin looked so smooth. Her silver blue eyes met yours. She then glanced at Link. She stood up and almost ran toward him. "Link! It's been so long! Marth has been dying to meet you!" Link took her in for a hug. You felt a small pull in your stomach. How could you not be jealous of such a perfect princess. She turned to you and smiled. "Who's this? Do you FINALLY have a girlfriend?" Link flushed. "Yes. I mean no. Unmmm she's a friend of mine." She smiled and walked up to you. "Would you please introduce yourself, since he has his tounge tied?" You laughed. "I'm  (y/n) from Ramona." At first Zelda gasped and then looked at you with understanding. She pulled you in for a hug. "I know very well the feeling of loss." She pulled away. "Princess?" "Please call me Zelda. If you ever need anything send for me right away." You smiled. Link finally composed himself and looked at Zelda. "So why have you requested me Zelda?" She looked with joy. "I wanted you to come to the ball im having tonight in honor of mine and Marth's engagement." Link's jaw dropped. "Are you kidding? I thought it was urgent?" She laughed. "Well I was hoping I could find you someone here too but it looks like you already found someone."

After a little back a forth from the two Link finally caved in. You were suddenly being pushed by castle maids. You were never used to being pampered. You were bathed and put into a robe. Zelda was the to make sure they didn't over do it. "She's naturally pretty so go easy with the make up. Somethings natural. And leave her hair down. Long loose curls would fit her perfectly." You looked over at Zelda who was in a robe herself. "So what is it with everyone trying to find Link a girl?" You asked. "We'll see Link has been lonely since he was a boy. I'm sure you heard about his companion when Hyrule was consumed by the Twilight." You nod. "Well he fell in love with her. When she shattered that mirror she also shattered his heart. That day he vowed to never love a girl again unless he knew She was the one." You sat silently. Link never told you this. Your heart ached for him. Zelda spoke up again. "Seeing you today gives me hope that you will repair his heart. Sometimes even the Hero of Time needs saving." "What makes you so sure I'm the one." Zelda smiled. "I have the triforce of wisdom honey. Trust me, I know."

By the time they were done, you were almost unrecognizable. They stuck you in a golden mermaid gown that showed off your curves. Your (h/c) hair was left down in loose curls like Zelda requested. Your make up was a golden smokey eye. Zelda gave you a gold hair piece that made you look like real royalty. Zelda led you to a grand stair case. It was filled with gowns of all colors. It was truly a sight. People danced and drank. It was like nothing you've ever seen. At the bottom was a blue haired man dressed in royal garb. He looked at Zelda and smiled. That must have been Marth. He nudged the man next to him. It was Link. Link wore a black tuxedo with a golden tie. His hair was brushed back into a pony tail. He looked up and saw you. A look flashed his eyes that you couldn't recognize. His jaw dropped. You glided down the stairs and met him at the bottom. "Do I look that bad?" You asked. "No! You look beautiful!" Link blurted out. You smiled. He led you to the blue haired man. "(Y/n) this is Marth of Athella and Zelda's fiance." So you were right. You curtsied and he bowed. "Pleasure to meet you (y/n)." "Like wise." 

You and Link sat at the table when a random man came up to you. He was tall and tan. He had Raven black hair and golden eyes. "I am Lord Kashan. May I have this dance my lady?" Before you could decline he grabbed your hand and led you to the dance floor. "I can't dance." "Don't worry love. I'll lead." He glided around the dance floor. You couldn't keep control and kept tripping. "Just relax." You felt Kashan's hand slide down your back. Before he could reach the bottom Link cut in. "Mind if I join?" Link swept you away and continued to glide across the floor with you. You felt more relaxed with him. He looked at you sternly.  "I can't believe you would dance with him." Was he jealous? Could it be true? "He didn't give me a chance to say no?" You hung your head low. "I'm sorry." You tried to pull away but Link kept his grip tight. You looked up to see his gaze had softened but only a little. "Are you mad at me?" He smiled. "No, I'm not." Right then, Kashan tried to butt in. Link spun you and bumped him to the side. Kashan huffed and looked for a another girl to bother. Link's face suddenly became hard again. "Link, are you jealous?" His face flushed red. He swallowed hard and looked to the floor. "I guess I am..." This time it was him who tried to pull away. You pulled his hand and brought him close to you. You leaned your head on his chest and continued to danced.  He rested his chin on your head. The music stopped and you heard clapping all around you.  You realize that you and Link were the only two dancing. Zelda was giving you a thumbs up, smiling triumphantly. 

The rest of the night consisted of dancing and drinking wine. You and Link actually ended up pretty drunk by the time you and Link had to go to the inn. You walk inn and a small old lady leads you up to a room she had prepared. She leaves you the key and returns down to her desk.  Link opens the door and sighs. "This might be a problem." He slurs. "What." You ask trying to look past him. You finally make it around him and see there's only one bed. "Well shit." Link paced around. "Damn this was the last room when I checked in too. I should have made it clear we needed separate beds." You walked in the restroom and changed out of the dress and wiped off the make up. You looked at Link drunkenly. "I guess sharing a bed for one night won't hurt. I mean it's not like we have a choice." Link looked at you, astonished. The sober you would have slapped you for being so drunk. All alarms should have been going off. What were you doing? But at this point you didn't care. You grabbed Link and dragged him onto the bed. He landed on top of you. He looked down at you. "What are you doing?" Before he could question further, you crashed your lips into his. I'm so gonna regret this in the morning  you thought. He immediately kissed back. The kiss began to get rough as Link's tongue began to demand entry. You let his tongue dance with yours. You were about to reach for Link's trousers when he grabbed your hand. "What's wrong?" You asked. He pulled away and sat on the edge of the bed. "Look, we're both drunk. I don't want to do something we both might regret." You felt your face burn. So this is what rejection felt like. "But-" "No (y/n), don't get me wrong. I'm enjoying this, but I want to make sure this is what you want. Not the wine." You nodded. He tried to get up but you grabbed his wrist. He looked back at you. His blue eyes had an unearthly glow to them. It was like a never ending ocean you could always get lost in. "Can you at least just stay with me? Just this one night?" Link nodded and crawled in on the opposite side. He wrapped you in his arms and kissed your forehead. "Sleep well."
