Reflection in the Water - A Breath of the Wild Fanfiction

Chapter 18

Some days has passed, Zora's Domain was going to host a talent show that anyone can participate in. A couple of Zoras were hanging up a sign for the talent show that was coming up, that was that day's news for all of the Zora people. In her room, Kagami was reading a book that she was so into the book that she didn't notice Hayate lingering at her doorway. "Knock knock."

   Snapping out of the story, Kagami turned her head to see Hayate there. "Oh, Hayate. How long have you been there?"

   "That was the part you were supposed to say who's there. Oh well... I've only just gotten here." Hayate walked over to where she was, looking at the book. "Is that any good?"

   Kagami quickly closed the book, sliding it away. "It's alright. It's not like I was enjoying reading it or anything." She was looking down so Hayate wouldn't see her face.

   Hayate couldn't help but smile. "So... Are you going to do something for the talent show?"

   Kagami only shrugged. "I'm not sure, possibly. I'll... Think about it, but there's no guarantee." As she was saying that, she was strumming her fingers on her table.

   "You should. Of course I'll be performing, charming everyone with my angelic voice. Don't worry, it won't be a rap this time." Kagami could swear she was seeing sparkles around Hayate, who was boasting about his singing.

   Kagami slightly rolled her eyes, standing up from her chair. "I was going to go out now. You're free to follow if you wish." As she felt Hayate following her, she felt nervous about the talent show whether or not she should perform something.

   As soon as they step outside in the domain, they were greeted by Sidon. "Good morning, you two! Aren't you excited for the talent show?" The prince asked while striking a pose and smiling.

   Hayate was doing the exact same thing as the prince. "I'm super excited! I'll be participating for sure!"

   Sidon looked at Kagami, who looked like she was already done for the day. "Kagami, will you be doing anything for the talent show?"

   "I'm not sure..." Kagami had her hand on her opposite arm, answering a little nervously.

   "You should! You're extremely talented, and I know you would amaze everyone with whatever you do!" Sidon's compliment made her turn a shade of red, making her consider about performing in the talent show after all.

   Hayate was looking at the two, smiling endearingly. "You know... You two would make a really adorable couple." Hearing him say that made both Kagami and Sidon flustered. Their reactions made Hayate chuckle. "So, Sidon... What do you think about Kagami?"

   Sidon was silent for a moment before gathering himself and thoughts. "I think Kagami is amazing in her own way... She's extremely skillful and talented in everything she does. She's a very lovely lady and a great friend to have around."

   For some reason, hearing him call her a friend made her heart sink a little. Kagami was wondering why that was bothering her so much. "Now, Kagami... What do you think about Sidon?"

   Kagami didn't think Hayate would be asking her the exact same question. Pulling herself together, Kagami cleared her throat. "I think Sidon is very motivational and inspirational. He knows exactly what to say to lighten the mood. He's a great help to everything, and he's... Handsome." That last word slipped out of her mouth when she meant to say ecstatic.

   Hayate then looked at Sidon who was a little flustered about Kagami's answer, and couldn't help but snicker. "See? Doesn't that feel good letting that out?"
