melodiesoflife | Christmas Party & Cheer

WHO: OPEN
WHEN: FORWARD DATED: December 22nd
WHERE: Christmas Town
WHAT: Celebrating the snow, the holidays, good cheery, warm fires and friends.
WARNING: Mistletoe?

With Rukia's help they were able to find a large enough hall in Christmas Town to throw the party. Zelda had set it for this day since a group of brave heroes were going to set out on the 24th. She had made sure that everything was perfect and of course everyone was invited. There were at least six decorated trees with polished silver and gold ornaments hanging from their branches. Scarlet red ribbons decorated the trees and tables with large bows tying the streaming trails together.

There was one very large tree at the halls center and there were a few presents around the bottom for those who needed a place to put gifts. At it's top was a large pointed star.

Champagne and small finger snacks were set on the tables and a part of the room was cleared for those who wanted to dance. Zelda was even able to hire a few people to play Christmas songs throughout the night. There was a table dedicated to sweets with cookies, cakes, small pies and other wonderful treats spread out for people to try.

Among the decorations was mistletoe. This little plant hung above the doorways waiting for any pair who happens to be caught in their hold. Most of the mistletoe was thanks to Minako but Zelda might have put up one sprig at the entrance to the party; it's all in good fun and kisses on the hand or cheek are perfectly acceptable.

[ooc: feel free to make open posts and tag around! It's a party!]

[Zelda feels her arm slowly lower as Link steps closer. Her eyes fix to his as if she’s falling within those perfect watery spheres. She feels her chest as it lightly brushes against his, the pressure of his hand against her back. It is only ever small moments stolen here and there that keep her memories alight and her hope fresh. Every second they spend apart Zelda finds herself worrying and thinking about the boy she had grown up with; her hero.

Perhaps if she had never known, never truly explored the depth to her feels it would have been different. Her mind wouldn’t be plagued with thoughts of him or misty notions of a future they may never have. Maybe it would be better if she doesn’t do anything at all but the moment Link’s lips meet her own she knows she can’t do that. She can’t just forget him or let him go. Her heart thunders and aches in her chest as the bittersweet notion of their love fills her thoughts.

Her arms circle his neck as she returns his kiss. Warm fills her and then lingers along her lips as he slowly pulls away. She exhales softly wishing with all her heart that this moment might not end.]

[Their kiss, reluctantly, breaks. His eyes slowly open as if he'd awoken from a long rest, looking refreshed and anew now that he's finally had the chance to know her lips once more. Not even a minute passes before his own face flushes back to that familiar red, realizing that her arms are draped around him as if she were clinging to him for life.

A deep rock in his throat is gulped, sinking into the pit of his stomach as he swallows his nervousness. It suddenly comes to the surface, even after taking such a bold move to embrace her. He attempts to thwart his anxiousness by resting his forehead against her own, taking in a deep breath of air that sounds more like an engine failing to start than a relaxed sigh.]

[Zelda is able to tell that Link is tense and that something might be wrong. The pressure of his forehead against her own is comforting but she feels a little unsure. Their kiss, while short, had been warm and wonderful.]

Are you alright Link?

[Her voice doesn’t raise above a whisper as if the moment hung on delicate glass strings. She inhales tasting the warmth and scent of his breath.]

[He gives a quick nod of his head, the hair falling down in front of his ears bounces as the frame of his face is disrupted in the process.]

Yeah. Just.. Every time I'm with you it's as if my stomach is full of Blessed Butterflies.

[He'd forgotten about the fear of losing her, his hands going lax but keeping close to her so that he wasn't holding to her as if she were a life line. Her company made the world fade away around him, the stress and worry melted out of existence as her presence and beauty now occupied his senses.]

That doesn't sound stupid, does it? Does that sound romantic? I wasn't going for romantic, b-but if it sounds romantic-..

[Zelda’s smile widens and there is a light brush of pink across her cheeks as she looks up at Link.]

It does sound romantic.

[He has always had that sort of effect on her: the frantic flutter of her heart or the need to be near his side. Ever since they were young he hasn’t stride very far from her thoughts. Even here and now she finds herself lingering on moments like these. When they are able to steal a chance together, a chance where neither one of them is busy. It’s these small things that Zelda looks forward too.

These things make her smile.]

I like it because it’s the same for me.

[Only Link has truly penetrated her heart and yet it feels as if he’s always been there. It’s his in its entirety and she has freely given it to him to hold and protect.]
