Normal is boring

"All finished!" Hyrule announced, spinning in place to reveal his work from the past 30 minutes, the tall blades of grass and a myriad of flowers scattered about blowing in the wind of his sudden disturbance. The smile on his face was brighter than the midday sun, lighting up the field the two of you had nestled down into earlier that morning. "Do you like it?"

Held delicately in his outstretched hands was a handcrafted crown, made entirely of the freshly plucked twigs, fresh leaves, grass and flowers you had spent the morning collecting.

"It's beautiful!" You beamed, admiring its details and little personal touches of fairy magic he wove throughout the piece.

"May I? He asks, raising it higher towards your head. You nod, quickly lowering your head as Hyrule places the flower crop directly on top. You were surprised at how comfortable it is, not twigs or sharp edges poking at your skull, and the floral scents form all the different petals mixed beautifully.

"How do I look?" You ask with a cheeky grin, giving him a quick pose to show it off. Hyrule chuckles, cupping your face as he leans forward.

"Beautiful," he answers, honesty dripping off each vowel. It brings a blush to your cheeks, shying away slightly till his hand guides your face back up to his. He leans down, soft lips hovering over yours. "May I?"

You don't respond, but simply close the gap between you and him, letting space and time slip away as you kiss him. His mouth molds against yours, tasting of sweetened berries and something else you could quite name, but it was sweet and almost surreal. His fingers trace down to your jaw, the tip of his tongue slipping past your lips, pulling a hum of pleasure from you. A chuckle rumbles against your mouth, replaced by a small peck before Hyrule pulls away.

Honeyed eyes stare down at you in admiration, as though memorizing each and every detail from your face do to the tips of your toes. You return the expression, reaching up to brush away a few loose curls that had fallen into his face when-

"Ouch!" Reeling back, your hand flies up to your face, rubbing at your cheek which feels as though you just got stabbed by a sewing needle. Hyrule immediately responds as well, pulling back in surprise, eyes scanning you over questioningly before they catch the small striped bug flying away from its hiding place in one of the flowers atop your head.

Hyrule is quick to shoo it away, anxiety spiking in his veins as he cups your face in his hands. 'Are you alright?" He asks, tilting your head to the side to take a better look at the swelled bump now forming in the top of your cheekbone. "I'm so sorry! I had no idea- I didn't realize there was a bee or that it would- are you okay? Do you need anything? I can heal you-"

"Honey I'm fine," you assure him, pushing past the sting that was already beginning to dull. "It just surprised me more than anything."

But his hands are already glowing. Held up to the level of his pleading, puppy dog eyes. You giggle, unable to resist the near pitiful look as you let your hand fall away from your face, revealing the bump to him. Hyrule's hands hover over your for just a moment, the warmth from his skin and tingle from the magic dancing just above the newly acquired "injury". You hold a breath, waiting for the sensation of liquid honey sinking into you, soothing away any ache and tenderness as if it had never existed.

Yet it never comes. Instead, there is a deep sigh, and instead of the feel of magic, Hyrule lips press delicately onto your cheek. He pulls away with a boyish grin, and an exaggerated "MWAH!"

"All better!" He declares, puffing out his chest slightly. But his eyes say it all. Honeyed eyes so full of joy and love that you could have, they practically were glow brighter than his hands from a moment ago. You match his smile, a surprised laugh shouting past your lips as he lunges forward to you, wraps his arms around your waist and topples backwards. You land flush on top of him, your laughter mixing with his as flower petals and butterflies flew up around you.

"Link!" You tease, tapping his chest, yet making no effort to push off or away from him. He holds you close, letting you rest on top of him as he brushes away lose strands of hair.
