The Legend of Link & Malon

A Very Long Wait

Link carried Malon to their room to get some rest and waited for the professor to finish making the red potion. He told Link it would take about three hours to make so he wouldn't have to wait long. Link rubbed a cold cloth of Malon's forehead to help her feel better; he didn't know what to do anymore. He loved Malon with all his heart and he would do anything to make her happy but after what she just told him...he wasn't sure anymore.

"Malon I know you can't hear me right now, but I want you to know I need you with me." Link took a deep breath. "It's not that I won't get lonely but I...I..." He closed his eyes tight and made his fist tight as he spoke. "I love you Malon and I want you to be with me forever, that's why I need you. I love you."

Malon had a single tear run down her cheek and smiled a bit in her sleep. Link stroked her cheek and kissed her on the forehead. He didn't want to kiss her on the lips because of her fat lip and he thought if he kissed her it would hurt, so he had to wait for three hours.

Three hours after the professor came in with the red potion hot and ready to drink. "Here make sure she drinks it. Well I'm going to bed good night." With that he was gone.

Link walked over and put the bottle down on the table so he can try and wake Malon but when he turned around she was sitting up smiling at him. "Malon! You're okay" He hugged her tight. "Never again I will never let you out of my sight." He cried.

"I love you too." Malon whispered.

Link looked at her with a shock on his face. He didn't know that she could hear him, but now that she told him he was so happy. "I love you with all my heart Malon." Link said while getting her the red potion for her to drink. Malon took the bottle and started to drink even though is tasted like shit, but her wounds started to heal pretty fast but not fully but her face was back to normal.

Malon kissed Link on the lips with her hands on both sides of his face. The kiss started to deepen with that she opened her mouth to let Link's tongue in to play with hers; she roamed his chest and back pulling him on top of her even though it hurt her a bit because of her wound. But Link stopped and pulled away and looked at her. "Malon?" He said with sadness in his eyes.

"No, I'm not going to push you away again, I promise." Malon said while taking off Link's hat.

"Malon," he says shaking his head, "you don't have to do this."

"I know I don't have to, I want to. I don't want to waste any more time.

"Are you sure?" He asks wrapping his arms around her and staring straight into her eyes. "Are you really sure?"

"I'm sure." Malon says allowing her finger tips to trace his arms to his neck and wrap them tightly in his hair before her lips meeting his.

He's still hesitant as she takes his hand and led him back to the big bed. Malon thought, looking at the bed, that she would feel more nervous, more butterflies flying around but there aren't any and she knew that she's totally ready.

Malon sat down and Link sits down next to her, turning so their facing each other and she takes the lead and cups his face in her hands looking into his beautiful blue eyes. Still, even after knowing he'd loves her, Malon still can't believe that this incredible being could still want her.

She kissed him allowing her tongue to snake out from between her lips to brush lightly against his lips and he parts them for Malon, allowing his tongue to dance along with hers. She could feel safe and warm as Link lays her on the bed.

Malon pulls Link on top of her once again and could feel him frown slightly against her mouth. She could tell he's waiting for the time when she pushes him away again and she does push him away again and he sighs with frustration.
