[ WP ] `` I have been sitting . Waiting on the edge of the world . Waiting for you to tell the truth to me . ''

I listened to Zelda's Lullaby when I wrote this, I'd suggest doing the same.

 She was there, right where she said she would sitting on the edge of the world in a simple white dress kicking her legs absently while humming a nostalgic tune. 
 
 She turns to me with her cheeks puffed in anger, `` I've been waiting for you for so long! Do you know how boring it was?'' She crosses her arms mock-angrily. 
 
 I chuckle at her antics and rub the back of my head sheepishly, `` Sorry about that, I've taken my time and saw the sights you know?'' 
 
 She pouts and crosses her arms, `` Hmph! Jerk, ca n't believe you kept me waiting!'' 
 
 I huff and kneel down on one knee beside her, `` I'm sorry Alice, do n't be mad at me.'' I smile, trying to make her embarrassed. 
 
 Her face explodes in a blush and she looks away from me and stutters, `` Dummy, I was only pretending to be mad at you!'' She then turns back to me and gives me a radiant smile, `` Did you have fun on your way here?'' 
 
 I grin and nod, I lean over and give her a peck on the cheek before sitting down on the ledge and copy her position. 
 `` Oh course I did!'' 
 
 She squeals and draws up her legs to hide her face. 
 `` Wh-what was that for?'' She whines, `` Do n't do that out of the blue, it's embarrassing.'' 
 
 I laugh, she's so cute. 
 `` Sorry, sorry.'' 
 
 `` Do n't laugh!'' She fumes then proceeds to give me light kicks in the arm `` Jerk! Dummy!''. 
 
 I chuckle and make a grab for her, enjoying the squeak she made as I made her sit on my lap. 
 
 `` Argh! you're impossible!'' She whines and adjusts herself to a comfortable position, burying her head on my chest. 
 
 We both enjoy each other's presence for a moment before she sighs in contentment and whispers a question, `` Did you really enjoy it? Your trip on the way here I mean.'' 
 
 I chuckle at her question and start to rub her head as I answer, `` At first? No not really, it was a bit boring and grey. Of course you came along and spiced things up.'' She puffs her cheeks and pokes my chest, `` Then everyday became amazing, but then of course you know that right?'' I purr at her with a wink. 
 
 ``.....Yeah.'' she whispers softly and snuggles her head a bit to try to get more comfortable, `` but what about after I went on ahead?'' she mumbles, her voice unsure and wavering. 
 
 `` I was angry at first.'' I admitted softly but gave her a reassuring kiss on the forehead when I felt her hands clench. `` But after a while I finally accepted the fact you went ahead and everything became just a bit better. I still missed you but I did n't let it stop me from enjoying the trip here.'' 
 
 `` That's good.'' she whispers in relief before poking my chest again and shoots off another question with a teasing grin, `` Did you meet any new friends? Did you see anyone nice?'' 
 
 The question made me pause, I thought about all the people I've met and smiled. 
 `` Yes I did, you would like them. I'll introduce you when they get here, that sound good?'' 
 
 She nods with humming sound and we both fall silent once more. 
 
 A wonderful breeze blows past us and the smell of flowers tickles our noses. 
 It was peaceful and calm, I really missed this, I missed spending time with her. 
 
 I turn my head to her and nudge her a bit, when I finally had her attention I clutch her tightly and whisper, `` You know I really missed you right? It just was n't the same without you.'' 
 
 She looks up at me, her eyes wide in surprise and a blush spreads across her face once again, she whispers her tone disbelieving. 
 `` You really still missed me? Even if I went ahead like that?'' 
 
 I smile softly and hug her and with utter conviction I whisper my answer to her ear, `` Of course I missed you, how could n't I?'' I clutched her tighter taking in her scent as I continue, `` I love you.'' 
 
 She gives a soft gasp and tears well up in her eyes, `` You love me?'' she asks haltingly in a disbelieving tone, `` Really truly?'' 
 
 I laugh and nod, she's really too cute `` Really truly.'' I affirm, `` From the bottom of my heart I can say that with conviction.'' 
 
 She hiccups and starts crying, tears are running down her face as she tries to wipe her eyes. 
 
 `` What's wrong?'' I ask lifting a finger to wipe the tears from her eyes, `` Do you not feel the same way?'' 
 
 She shakes her head and sits up, giving me a big smile and a big hug while tears continue to run down her face. 
 `` No! I'm just so happy!'' She giggles and tightens her hug around me. 
 `` I feel the same way, I'm so relived!'' she breathes and pulls back to look at me in the eyes, `` I love you, just as much as you love me and I promise I will never leave you behind again, ever. So promise me the same thing okay?'' 
 
 I look at her in the eyes and convey my own promise to her, `` I promise too, I will never leave you and I will follow you wherever you go. So please never leave me again.'' 
 
 She giggles and snuggles down on my chest with an admonishing whisper, `` You dummy, I never wanted to leave you, but now that we're here together.'' 
 
 She smiles and sleepily closes her eyes and whispers, `` We'll never be apart again.'' 
 
 `` Never again,'' I echo her words fondly and lie down on the ground making sure she is comfortable sleeping on my chest, 
 `` You're never going to have to be alone here ever again. So go to sleep okay? I'll be here when you wake up.'' 
 
 `` Thank you Alex, I love you.'' Alice whispers as she closes her eyes, after a moment she snores and falls into sound and restful sleep. 
 
 and when I close my eyes, so do I.
