“You know, if this is ice skating, I think I could grow to like it.” fanfic submission Midna sat upright and helped Zelda up beside her, who leaned contentedly on her shoulder. Midna reached up and pulled Zelda closer, arms draping over her neck. Zelda returned the smile nervously and leaned down, softly pressing her lips into Midna’s. Her face was flushed right to the tips of her ears. Zelda propped herself up on her hands and looked down at Midna.

She landed on the ground with a thud and Zelda fell square on top of her. She lurched forward, pulling Zelda down with her. The pick of her skate caught an exposed branch sticking out of the ice. “I don’t understand why you people like snow so mu- Ah!” “Yeah, lovely,” Midna replied, somewhat sarcastically.

Snowflakes had started to fall and Midna held up her free hand to keep them from falling into her eyes. Midna nodded, still concentrating on her feet. The princess backed away and skated beside her, looping an arm underneath Midna’s. She felt Zelda’s hands start to loosen from her own. Midna kept her eyes glued to Zelda’s feet, terrified that if she were to look up, she would topple over. Then back to her right until she gained some semblance of a rhythm. She re-balanced herself with a wobble, gripping Zelda’s fingers through her gloves. Midna perilously transferred her weight to her left foot, then kicked off onto her right. She gently took both of Midna’s hands in her own and started slowly skating backwards. Zelda laughed, her voice ringing in the still air. I’m determined to practice this dumb Hyrulean tradition before winter’s over.” “Frankly, I thought you would give up as soon as you saw the lake.” “I never expected you to be an expert at this,” Zelda said, smiling. “Yeah, yeah, I’m just getting warmed up.” Midna took her hand and struggled upwards, dusting herself off once she was on her feet. She heard the scuff of blade on ice and looked up to see Zelda’s outstretched hand before her. She flailed ungracefully for a moment before crashing down with a dull thud, winded. She attempted to regain her footing, only to have her skates slide out from underneath her. She instantly pitched forward and threw out her hands to catch the ice before it slammed into her face. Midna readied herself, then shoved her left foot backwards while leaning on her right.

Push off on one foot, balance with the other. Midna crossed her arms and observed through narrowed eyes. She effortlessly glided across the frozen surface, hands laced behind her back, skirts fluttering behind her. “For you only,” Zelda replied, already retreating back to the ice. “You didn’t have to do all that, Princess.” Midna said, staggering upright and examining Zelda’s handiwork. She watched Zelda meticulously tie the newly untangled laces into dainty double-knotted bows. “Leave me alone,” Midna replied playfully. “But surely you must have string in your world.” “I’ve never done this kind of thing before.” Midna huffed and leaned back, re-gloved hands planted in the powdery snow behind her. Zelda knelt and assumed the place of Midna’s fingers, coaxing the string out of its tangle. She heard the other princess’s blades scrape against the ice as she skidded to a stop before her. “Alright, give me a second! Geez…” Midna begrudgingly pulled off her gloves and tugged at the laces she had managed to knot. “Come, Midna!” Zelda called from halfway across the lake. The lake was entirely clear, save for patches of snow and a lone figure receding into the distance. Early morning sunlight filtered through the clouds and bathed the lake in an ethereal glow. She looked through her fogged breath out onto Lake Hylia, frozen solid. She rubbed her hands together for warmth which, despite the borrowed gloves covering her skin, ached with cold. The air held a crisp, sharp quality that Midna was unused to. midna is in her true form (but if you want her to be an imp here, i mean, the choice is yours) Sorry im just squeaking in under the deadline, eep! here’s my secret santa for the request was: “midzel being cute”.
