-Your POV-
Your breathing starts to get heavy and the only sound you hear is the stomps the man takes before slamming his fist on table above you and Rhett.

Rhett hugs you from behind, worried if he loosens his grip, you'll be gone forever.

You can also hear the faint whimper of the other costumers, worried about their fate.

Rhett holds you tighter, slowing your breath and calming you down. Your heart still beating fast, the man looks at the scared waiter.

He spoke calmly, "Sir, we will get you the money if you can just put that gun down..."

Wait, gun?

After that three-letter word, Rhett's breath stops short.

Now, he too looks scared to death.

You hear a light plop above you, signaling that the man had placed the gun right on your table.

You start to silently cry, and you bury your face into Rhett's chest. He just lightly rubs your back and hugs you tighter.

You hear a sound, quiet, but you can still hear it. It sounded like the restaurant door had been quietly open and closed.

You saw someone throw a punch at the man, and he threw one back.

You didn't look anymore, you just had your face in Rhett's safe chest, not worried about the man.

After a few minutes of fighting, you hear the police come and take away the man.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Link searches the whole town of Burbank, trying to call (Y/N) to see if she'll answer.

Though he doesn't get to hear her comforting voice, he does get to hear the continuous beep of the phone.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

He finally decides to look the place he didn't think of at first,

(Y/N)'s favorite Italian restaurant.

He ran, ran faster than the wind blown by the sky. Faster than his heart beat.

Faster than his love, his love for her that kept flashing before his eyes, making him realize that him yelling at her was wrong.

He stopped in front of the place, and saw people cowering under tables, the worst thing; though.

(Y/N) was one of them. She cowered in fear of the man holding a gun, Rhett's arms locked around her like a safe. Her eyes like a waterfall, her eyelids like a dam; waiting to release all her fear.

Link felt something,

Not angry,

Not sad,

Scared.

Scared for his baby, his love, his honey, his babe, his world, his star, his universe, his light.

He quietly opened the door and started to hit the man, though he got hit himself.

His black eye didn't stop him, the sound of (Y/N)'s whimper did.

He could hear that sadness from a mile away. It caught his off guard and sadness filled his face. Another punch was thrown at his distracted eyes, but he dodged it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The police took the man away, yet you still lay there, crying; in Rhett's safe grip.

Rhett pulls you away, his hands on your shoulder. He moves one hand to wipe away your tears and he smiles at you before pulling you into the hug again.

You hug Rhett tighter, before you both come out from underneath the table to see just who had the guts to take that guy out.

Before your eyes fully adjust to the light of the restaurant, you fell someone pull you into a hug.

Not Rhett, that's for sure.

It was.... softer.

"Link?" You say quietly. You get no response, only the feeling of a nod on your shoulder. You smile and hug back.

He pulls back from the hug and rests his hands on your shoulders, staring into your beautiful eyes before kissing you.

'Finally'
