I Wonder - Zelink Modern AU

Sleep Over

I've only ever written one shots and short stories so I have no idea how long to make a chapter (I'm just gonna do at least 1500 words per chapter) and I have no clue how many parts is a good amount. This is more of an experiment really, so I can see how I'll need to pace my future stories and things like that. Enjoy! ^-^

"No thank you, I'm going home with Link today" Zelda politely turned down a request from a few classmates to walk her home.

"When do you not? You two are together so much, it's actually kinda creepy" One of the girls said.

"Well... It's always been that way. I'm sure you have someone like that in your life. Anyway, I best not be late. Gotta go!" She hurried off so she wouldn't keep Link waiting at the gates.

She was staying at Link's that night, as her parents were out of town and Link had the house to himself.

"Link!" She shouted as she ran up to him, waving her arm back and forth. "Sorry I'm late. Got a little held up in class"

Link wasn't much of a talker, but when he did speak, his voice kind and soft, even reassuring.

"It's okay. Are you all ready to go?" He asked, seeing the massive bag Zelda had brought, even though it was only for one night.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" Zelda was more hyper than usual, she was so exited to finally stay at a friends house overnight.

They started walking to Link's house at a reasonable pace, and arrived within 30 minutes. There wasn't much conversation, as usual, but the two were so close that words weren't needed. Link felt extremely awkward, he'd been embarrassed ever since he saw Zelda with loads of things, and he'd never had anyone at his house for so long before.

Link took a few minutes to unlock the door, his hands were shaking for some unknown reason and he couldn't concentrate.

"Oh god..." He heard Zelda say. He turned around to look in the direction she was looking, and saw a few girls he'd seen around school.

"Is everything okay?" He stopped what he was doing to put full concentration on Zelda.

"Those girls... They're pretty vocal about... Certain topics" She put her head down and shook it, before noticing that the girls had spotted them.

Link gave the keys to Zelda, and she knew that he was implying that she'd go and open the door whilst he kept an eye on them.

She was obviously getting nervous, and started to fumble like Link was doing a second ago.

"Is Zelda at that quiet kids house?" One of them muttered.

"If you weren't new here, you'd be completely used to it" 

Zelda randomly grabbed Link and shoved him behind a bush, he was in a place where the girls hadn't seen him, and Zelda wanted it to stay that way.

"Zel, what are you doing here?" They were the people who'd keep Zelda company when her and Link went to different classes.

"Exactly what it looks like, I'm visiting a friend" She gulped hard.

"Didn't we tell you to drop Link? What's so special about him anyway?"

"He's my friend. I'm not going to just leave him because you told me so" She stood up tall with her head held high, her princess status over-powering everyone.

"Whatever. See you in class" They walked off, and left the area.

Zelda helped Link out of the bush after apologizing and unlocking the door.

"I'm so sorry! That really wasn't necessary. I don't know what came over me, all of my morals left me there for a second" She laughed as she pulled him out, noticing that Link was blushing slightly as she grabbed his hand.
