Grapefruit 101

The Perfect Plan

A couple weeks had passed since Midna had fruit-raped Link, and he could not seem to ever hear the end of it. Midna continuously teased him about the incident, calling him names and messing with him. Midna especially teased him about his favorite feature of hers by performing the classic "oops! I dropped something" and bend over charade. Midna especially liked to do this because of the way Link would turn red as a beat and yell, "Midna!!" while covering his face like a frightened school girl.

The sun began to set over Hyrule field as Link and Midna were setting up camp after a long day. Their 'camp' just consisted of a fire and a tree to sleep under with a comfortable patch of grass. It may not have been the most luxurious living situation, but they had grown accustomed to sleeping under the stars. After about ten minutes, Link finally successfully started a fire that he and Midna were able to sit around while they ate.

"Well geez Link, all you needed to do was build a fire, not provide heating for a whole village. What took you so long?"

Link rolled his eyes and said, "It's not as easy as it looks. It takes time to make a fire, you know. Besides, it's not like you could have done it with your little injury you got there. Say, how did you get that cut on your finger? You've been picking at it for a couple weeks now."

"Umm, don't worry about it," Midna said quickly, avoiding eye contact with Link.

Link shrugged and sat across from Midna. They sat in silence for a while, eating and staring into the fire. Midna picked at the cut on her finger she had gotten a couple weeks ago, which was now a peeling scab, until a lingering question popped up in her head. She wasn't sure if she should ask, but she figured that it was an appropriate time to do so.

"Hey Link, I have a question for you."

Link raised his eyebrows, curiosity present in his attentive eyes. "Yeah Midna?"

"Ever since I caught you in the act of you know what, this question has been on my mind..Do you like me?"

Link froze and squinted his eyes a bit in suspicion. "Uh..why do you ask?"

"Just wondering..it's an honest question, please just answer it."

"Okay..well... I like you. I mean, You're a headache sometimes, but when you're not humiliating me in some way, you're alright." Link finished with a reassuring smile.

"No, no! I mean like..you know, do you like me more than that? Like the way you liked me in your little fantasy a couple weeks ago.." Midna looked at him with suspicion.

Link's face went red again from the memory of the dream Midna had referenced. "Oh. That's what this is about."

"Mhm." Midna hummed in agreement.

"Well...In that case, I honestly don't know, Midna. Perhaps it was a result of...infatuation...you know...lust.."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Midna snapped with a 'wtf' face.

"I-it just means that, well... how do I put this? We spend a lot of time with each other and well..I haven't had much time to myself to..umm..and, don't get me wrong, you're beautiful and stuff..it's just..complicated."

Midna looked at him with confusion and slight disgust. "What the hell does that mean?" Midna snapped, wishing he would be blunt.

"Uhhg! I don't know Midna! I guess it has something to do with the fact that I'm kinda stuck with you all day, everyday and..you really are beautiful in many ways and y-you're always teasing me with your..well you know...I.. I mean I am a 16 year old guy who, well y-you kno-" Midna stopped him from his ineffective rambling.
