Author’s Note: In this chapter, there will be some hanky panky between minors. I don’t mean to encourage such thoughts or behaviour, but it’s just some innocent touching. As in part of growing up (we’ve all been there, right? >_>). No sex. In the next chapter, however, there will be sex between two adults. That’s all good, yes?
Chapter 23: Tact of a woman
Junior didn’t know the kind of havoc it would’ve wreaked inside his little chest. Having this little private chat with Zell earlier that evening had seemed like such a good plan at first. And even though he was proud of this personal victory, after that wink, he wanted more. And then the way she’d held his hands and stared into his eyes… He’d never imagined it would feel like such agony. But a good kind of agony. Ever since that spark in his heart had been ignited, he hadn’t been able to keep his eyes off her, for the rest of the evening. He’d only ever felt like this when Linkle did that ‘thing he liked’, but somehow, he could feel it much stronger now. Because Linkle’s love was unconditional. As for Zell’s love, he would have to earn it.
“Junior?”
Junior jumped up from his thoughts. That had been his father’s voice, who was sitting next to him while they were having birthday cake around the big table. “Yes?”
“Didn’t you still have something for the princess?” He’d said it quiet enough, so he wouldn’t put him in the centre of attention all of a sudden.
“Yes, but, you see...” Junior shoved his chair a bit closer to Link. “I didn’t think she would like the flower crown, so that’s why I still wanted to buy her something else. But now, it turns out that she really loves the crown, because I made it myself. And if I give her two presents, won’t that be too much? I don’t want to seem pushy.”
“Hm...” Link murmured, slowly nodding his head. He knew that coming into the grace of someone you like was a complicated matter. “Well, you bought it yourself. You have to decide what you wanna do with it.”
Junior scratched his hair in thought. He could save it for his sister’s birthday. Although, he was sure that Zell would like it more. It was such a nice gift. He suspected that Linkle wouldn’t really value it. Not the way Zell would. “I don’t know...”
“Oh, I have an idea,” Link said. “Maybe you could give it right before we leave. As a thank you for having let us stay the night.”
Junior stared up at him as if his father had just said the most brilliant thing in the world. “That’s a great idea!”
At Link’s other side, Ivee also pushed her chair a bit closer to him. “What are you two conniving here?” she murmured.
“Man talk, for once,” Link said with a deadpan face. “Stay out of it.”
“Ooh...” Chuckling, she went back to her cake and tea. “Okay, sure. Although, it looks like Zelda wants to say something, though.”
Indeed, Zelda stood up and softly clinked her spoon against her delicate porcelain. “Everyone, I’d like to thank you for coming to Zell’s birthday party,” she started with a gentle smile. That niggling feeling that something good was about to come to an end was starting to creep up on her. She kinda wanted to extend it a bit. “I know that after this, you were all planning to go back home. But since we had such a great time last night, Rinku and I were wondering… Would you like to stay over at the castle tonight as well?”
The kids hopefully clasped their hands together in front of their chest. “Yes daddy, please, can we?” Linkle said, and Junior eagerly nodded along.
Link and Ivee looked at each other. “Well, if you don’t mind...” Link said.
Zelda shook her head. “Not at all, we would be happy to.”
“In that case, sure, why not,” Ivee beamed.
“Yaaay!” Linkle and Junior cheered, bouncing on their seats. Zell clapped her hands together, giving a delighted little princess laugh.
“Dad, can we go play?” Junior said.
“Weren’t you tired?”
“I’m not any more.”
“Okay, don’t break down the house. Linkle, I’m talking to you!”
“No, daddy!”
“Uncle Azu, are you coming too?”
“Hm, maybe later,” Azu muttered, with which he in fact wanted to say that he could still eat a slice of cake. Or two. He wondered if he was already old enough for a night cap.
“Okay, we’ll be in Zell’s bedroom.”
That’s what he had said. But there were quite a lot of bedrooms up here. Quite a long corridor too. And it wasn’t like there were name tags on the doors or something. Azu had thought that all he’d had to do to find Zell’s bedroom would’ve been the sound of laughter and chattering and someone jumping on a bed. But it was awfully quiet. Were they so knackered from today that they had fallen asleep already? Either that, or the rooms were very soundproof. He just randomly started opening a few doors.
“Snooping around?” he suddenly heard behind him, and he turned around with a jolt, where he saw the giggling face from the princess.
“Ah, no. I… didn’t know which room is yours.” She smelled nice. Must’ve been from the flowers she’d had in her hair all day. Seemed like they had changed into their pj’s now. Obviously, the princess had a night gown with lace and down.
“I know, I’m joking. My bedroom’s right that way.” She pointed to a room of which the door was slightly ajar. “I’m gonna use the bathroom, and then I’m gonna get some snacks. Anything you would like?”
“No, thanks,” Azu politely declined. “I’m still quite full from the cake.” He’d got to taste from his dad’s night cap too. And had spewed it back out. Disgusting. Definitely not old enough yet. “Don’t you have maids to bring you snacks, though?”
“Oh, if I have to go to the bathroom, might as well do it myself, right? Besides, maids will only make a fuss about how snacks will make me fat.” With another giggle, she continued her way. Azu watched her go as she pattered off on her fluffy slippers. Charming girl. But destined to be with someone else than him.
When he opened the door to her bedroom, he froze. That ‘someone else’ was currently being smothered by his sister, in a way that was rather unsuitable for a couple of seven year olds. Clearly, they’d been waiting to do this until they were alone. At least they still had their clothes one. Although, as their uncle, Azu felt that it was his duty to report this.
Link was absent-mindedly twirling a finger through Ivee’s hair. It had grown a bit. But she didn’t want to have it too long. She thought long hair was bothersome. He didn’t mind whether it was long or short. It wasn’t for her hair that he’d fallen in love with her.
“So, the game goes like this! Link, stop touching my hair, I need to explain this real quick.”
They had all moved to the lounge area, where they could snuggle against each other in comfy chairs while they enjoyed some spirits. Or, such had been the plan. Ivee however, thought it might be fun to do a game. Involving said spirits.
“So, there are two teams, at either side of the table. Each team has the same amount of drinks. We take turns in trying to throw a little ball into a cup of the opposing team. If you can, then one of the opposing team has to down the drink in which the ball has landed.”
“Oh, I don’t think this will be the kind of game for us. Think we’ll call it a day, right dear?” Amira said, turning towards her husband, only to find him already half asleep next to her. Purah and Symin had disappeared to the library to read, and now she felt a bit like a third wheel. “Pruce!”
“Hm, what?”
“Let’s go to bed. Let the youngsters have their fun.”
“Uh...” He groggily looked around, rubbing his eyes as he assessed the situation. Two young couples in love. Booze. No kids around. “Hm. Yeah, let’s.”
She waited until Pruce had finished his drink, and then she stood up. “Gotta give this old body some rest.” As the night progressed, she had noticed the way both Ivee and Link, and Zelda and Rinku had started behaving towards each other. Subtle looks, playful touches. Surely, the night was still young for them. “Don’t drink too much,” she still advised.
“Of course not,” Ivee grinned. “We’re responsible parents.”
It was then that Azu stuck his head inside the room. “Link, Ivee, could you come over for a sec?” He stepped aside to let his parents through, bidding them goodnight.
“Don’t stay up too late too,” Amira said, rubbing Azu over his head.
“No, I won’t,” Azu muttered, pushing his mum’s hand away. He’d gotten too old for stuff like that.
“What is it?” Link said.
Azu pulled Link and Ivee outside, closing the door behind them. “I don’t want to be a tattle tale, but I think you’d better go check on Linkle and Junior.”
With all the food from today in mind, Ivee put on a worried face. “They’re not sick, are they?”
“No, it’s nothing like that, but… Just go look. Don’t be angry, though. They probably don’t know any better.”
They snuck up to Zell’s bedroom as if they were on a secret mission, Azu shushing them when they were almost there. Because, isn’t sneaking up one of the basics of catching someone in the act?
Ivee and Link listened at the door, which was slightly ajar. After a while, they could hear Linkle giggling. Frowning, Link looked at Ivee. They waited for a bit longer, then they heard the giggling again, followed by a surprised gasp from Junior. They decided to take a look.
“What are you two doing?” Link said.
“Nothing!” Linkle quickly replied. They were just in time to see her jumping off Junior.
He could almost literally feel his mind being blown at what he saw. Never a dull moment with those two. “Linkle, don’t do that with your brother, it’s inappropriate!”
“I don’t know what that word means.” She went sitting against the headboard, hugging her knees against her chest, her face the epitome of innocence. Next to her, Junior cowered under the sheet.
“Just don’t do it!”
Link was about to charge at them, but Ivee grabbed his collar and pulled him back. “Hold it right there,” she said. “This calls for the tact of a woman.” She went to the bed and sat on the edge, looking at them with a gentle face. “Linkle, you shouldn’t do that to your brother.”
“You do it with daddy,” Linkle pouted.
“That’s different.”
“Why is it different?”
“It just is.” She reached out her hand and ran it through Linkle’s hair. “Linkle, you need to listen to your father on this. That’s only for grown ups. And for mummies and daddies, not for brothers and sisters.”
“But he likes it when I do that.”
She glanced over to Junior, who was carefully nodding his head from under the sheet. If it hadn’t been for these circumstances, he would’ve looked totally adorable. “Even so, you shouldn’t do it. I know it’s hard to understand right now, but can you promise me that?”
Before either of them got a chance to answer, there was Zell’s voice at the door.
“Oh? Is there a problem?” She looked at them with a smile that betrayed nothing of her annoyance that someone had entered her bedroom without her permission. But since they were adults, they must’ve had a good reason, so they were forgiven.
“It’s already been taken care of,” Ivee warmly smiled back. Before she stood up from the bed, she pointed at both of her unruly sprouts. “Behave.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on them,” Azu said, as he joined them on the bed, together with Zell and her basket of snacks.
Once they were back outside, Ivee wearily rubbed her forehead. Where was the time when they were still in her belly, and they couldn’t talk back? Where was the time that she was still blissfully unaware that there were gonna be two of them? At the same time.
“Maybe it’s time we gave them separate beds, back home,” Link suggested.
“Hm, yeah... For tonight, they should be fine. Zell will be sleeping in the same room.”
“Linkle should understand that what she did was wrong, though.”
“Yeah, maybe it’s best if we let her sleep in a separate room after all. Surely, Zelda must have a spare room.”
“Sorry ‘bout that,” Ivee said, when they were back in the lounge area. Once again, they stumbled upon a scene that was not meant for their eyes. Well, it was to be expected that Zelda and Rinku wouldn’t be sitting there twiddling their thumbs while they were waiting for them to return.
“Don’t worry, we’ve kept ourselves busy,” Rinku said, quickly pulling a pillow on top of his lap to hide the bulge that had formed there.
“Yes, I can see that. You have whipped cream on your face,” Link grinned. Seems like they’d been creative with the birthday cake.
Ivee chuckled. “Anyway, do you still have a spare room? I think it’s best that Linkle sleeps alone tonight.”
“Oh, has she been naughty again?” Zelda said, licking cream from her fingers.
“Yes. How ‘bout that drinking game then?” A bit of adult entertainment would be very welcome now.
