Disclaimer: I don't own The Legend of Zelda.
Pretty much what it says on the tin, this'll be a collection of Zelink4lyfe oneshots reposted from Tumblr, each one featuring a different kiss prompt. And hopefully from a bunch of different games! As I get more ficlets posted here I'll have the kiss-type and the game-verse in the chapter titles (who needs creative chapter titles anyway, not lazy people that's who, hence why this is a collection instead of a bunch of separate oneshots with real titles and real summaries), so you can browse and skip around if you like.
Geeze I wrote these all out of order...
22: Then there's tongue
(Spirit Tracks, when they are a little older, Link's facial expressions in this game tho)
Princess Zelda smiles and asks him, once, if maybe his face is stuck that way.
Link blinks, and he keeps staring at her with that solemn and round-eyed face that only proves her point. She has to try very hard not to chuckle when his lips part and he doesn't seem to notice that his mouth is hanging open.
"You're going to catch flies like that," she says.
But Princess Zelda doesn't mind. Although if he really did swallow a bug that would be gross. Link's staring isn't rude or impudent, because he's Link and he's always staring. He's always looking, or daydreaming, or sometimes his eyebrows will raise and he'll squeeze Zelda's hand, and she knows without seeing his face-just by the intake of his breath-that he's staring in open-mouthed wonder.
She likes that about him, and she slips her hand into his.
"Something really will fly into your mouth if you keep standing here gaping," Princess Zelda tells him, her lips quirking in a grin.
And then she tilts her head and leans in to press her lips over his, sticking her tongue into his open mouth.
Link's fingers tighten around hers, and he breathes sharply through his nose, and she knows that his eyes are as wide and as round as they can go. She knows, without having to slide her other hand under the front of his uniform, that his heart is pounding suddenly and his face is flushed and burning.
Princess Zelda doesn't need to see it, because she feels the moment his lips stretch into a stupid smile of their own and he kisses her back.
She strokes her thumb over the back of Link's fingers, and she's glad, because his face really is too cute to get stuck in only one way.
