(Y/n) the Hero (pt 1)
Link and I woke up to the sound of lively music playing and people talking outside. We crossed the bridge and walked around town to see what everyone was doing.
"Hey!" We heard someone say. We looked over and saw Manny. "You guys made it!" He walked up to us. I wasn't too excited to see him, at least not as excited as he was to see us.
"Yeah." We said.
"Here have some drinks." Manny handed us a cup with a blue liquid inside.
"Thanks." I said and took a sip.
Link and I walked around the town. There were lights strung up on the stores and houses. Kids were running around playing and everyone was talking. People from different towns were dancing and others were just there to get drunk. We stopped to talk for a few people every now and then until we got sucked into a chat with Ivee, Seldon and some other people so we decided to stay and talk. They talked about all sorts of things, one topic led to the other. We laughed and smiled, everything was great.
"Hey (Y/n), will you come with me to get some more drinks?" Ivee asked. I nodded and walked off with her. "You know, you and Link make such a great couple. I can tell Link really loves you, before you showed up he was always serious and he never smiled. But now I don't see him without a smile." She said. I blushed and smiled happily. Him and I aren't actually together, although I'd love to be with him especially now after hearing that. I was a bit curious, how'd she know we were "together"? We only said that so Manny would leave me alone.
"Thanks." We stopped at the drink stand. "How'd you know we were together." I was curious.
"I overheard Manny talking with some guys, plus you two are always together. If doesn't take a genius."
"Overheard me what?" Manny popped out of nowhere scaring the both of us.
"Oh nothing, can we get six drinks?" Ivee said. He nodded and poured some drinks into the cups on the table.
"For you (Y/n)." He handed me one. I looked down about to take a sip and saw something fizzing inside. I looked up at him as he handed Ivee her drinks. I tilted the cup sideways and watched as the blue liquid poured out. They looked over at me.
"Oops, can I get another one?" He raised his eyebrow at me and nodded. I watched as he poured all 3 into the cups to make sure he didn't do anything fishy. We thanked him and walked back to the group handing everyone their drinks. I stood by Link and handed him his drink.
"Thanks babe." He kissed my cheek. I loved how sweet he was towards me but I hated the fact that it wasn't real. I leaned onto his chest and he wrapped an arm around my waist. We continued talking in the group. We heard cheering coming from a group not that far from ours. The attention then went back to the conversation. I took a sip of my drink and stood up straight. A man then squeezed his way into our conversation. He was a skinny tall guy, I couldn't tell is his hair was brown or black, but he had a scruffy beard. He was carrying a back pack that was falling apart because of how much was shoved into it.
"Do we have any couples in here? Married? Dating? Long term? Short term?" The man looked around. A bit rude if you ask me. People pointed at Amira and Pruce, the general store owners.
"You guys are still together! See our flower works, I bet you didn't believe us!" We all laughed. "Any other couples?" Then all fingers were on Link and I. How did everyone know? Did Manny just walk around telling everyone? "Ahh, some youngsters." Suddenly a white and blue flower appeared in front of us, it was hanging on a string. I looked back and saw another man, he was a bit younger. He had bright blond hair and big glasses. He was holding a fishing rod over our heads with the flower hanging from it. "This flower is said to keep couples together and bring much joy and happiness. As you can see," He pointed to Amira and Pruce, "it worked for them." I was confused. "Go on and give each other a smooch under the flower." I blushed. "Toto! Hold it above their heads!" He told the guy behind us.
"Come on!" Ivee said. "You guys are adorable." She smiled. Link looked down at me and softly kissed my lips. The group cheered as we pulled away from each other. I smiled up a Link and he smiled back.
"Much luck to you two!" The man pat our backs while him and Toto walked off to the next group.
"Will you excuse us?" Link said and grabbed my hand.
"Go on lovebirds." They said. Link led me up the hill that led to his house and stopped on top. No one else was around, they were all at the festival. He held my hands in his and looked into my eyes. He sighed before speaking.
"This is dumb, this whole pretending to be dating thing. It's getting a bit out of hand."
"Yeah.. it is getting a bit crazy."
"Good to know you feel the same." I smiled. Although I wasn't actually glad to hear it. I kind of liked pretending to be with him, I looked at our hands. "Let's actually date." He said, I looked back up to him.
"What?" I was a surprised.
"Yeah, I mean.. I love you." He smiled and kissed my hands. "And I've been meaning to ask, but I get too nervous thinking you'll say no." My heart fluttered. I could tell he was still nervous, he looked at we worried I'd say no.
"Of course I'll date you, I love you too." His smile widened as he leaned down and kissed me again. I kissed him back and smiled.
"That would've been really awkward if you said anything other than that." We laughed and held our faces together. "Let's head back down." He held my hand as we walked down the hill back to the group. We stopped in front of the general store where they were all at. "Hey sorry we had some stuff to talk about." We were slightly out of breath from running down the hill.
"Don't you remember when we were like them?" Amira looked over at Pruce. He smiled at her. "I hope your relationship lasts." She smiled at us.
"Thanks." I told her.
"Anyways, where were we?" Seldon asked. We laughed and the conversation went on. I looked around and noticed the lights dangling from building to building. The conversation had gotten boring so I spaced off and looked around. The band was still playing their music. Every now and then some groups would cheer and I'd see the man with Toto walking off to the next group.
My daydreaming was cut short by Amira suddenly screaming. I looked at what started her and saw Ivee on the floor passed out. Time seemed to slow down. What the hell happened to her?!
