Forever and Always. [Legolas x Reader]

Eavesdropping

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a funeral for the kings son, Éowyn sang a beautiful, yet depressing song in some other language.

I figured out who the other girl was that Grima had ahold of; her name is Kylaney, maiden and warrior of Edoras.

I'm sitting with Next to Legolas and with the fellowship in the great hall. Kylaney walks in.

I smile and wave at her, "hello."

"Come sit with us" I suggest.

I pat on a spot next to me and she sits down.

"Y/n, right?" She asks.

I nod.

"This is Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas." I say pointing to each of them.

"Oh, I know you, you're the one who told me I couldn't kill that slimeball" she says to Legolas.

"Yes, I am." He replies.

"Hold on..." I tell Legolas. "Say that again."

"Yes, I am?"

I flip his hair right after he says it again.

"Hair flip!" I exclaim grinning.

Aragorn, Gimli, and Kylaney laugh at him.

"Don't mind them, I think you looked very manly with that hairflip." I kiss him.

"Aweee, you guys are so cute" Kylaney says.

"Not really." Gimli chimes in.

"Rude!" I say while reaching over and hitting him on top of the head.

Legolas grins, "good job, Meleth nin"

I kiss him. "Thank you."

"Double team? That's not fair." Gimli huffs.

"Totally fair." I respond.

I look over to Kylaney and see that she is laughing.

She stops laughing, "You guys are like siblings."

I nod. "I guess so."

~a few minutes later~

King Théoden,Gandalf, and Éowyn, with two children join us

The children sit down.

"They were unarmed. They had to warning. Now the wildmen are moving through the westfold. Burning as the go, every Rick and cot." Éowyn says.

"Where's momma?" The little girl asks.

"Shhh" Éowyn puts a blanket over her.

"This is but a taste of terror that Saruman will release. All the more potent for he is driven mad by the fear of Sauron. Ride out and meet him head on. Draw him away from the women and children. You must fight." Gandalf says.

"You have 2000 good men riding north as we speak. Éomer is loyal to you. His men will return and fight for their king." Aragorn reasons.

"They will be three hundred leagues from here by now. Éomer cannot help us. I know what is is you want of me. But I would not bring any further death to my people. I will not risk open war."

"Open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not."

"When I last looked, Théoden, not Aragorn, was kind of Rohan." Théoden snaps.

"Watch your mouth, king or not." I mumble under my breath quiet enough only Legolas and Kylaney could hear.

"Then what is the kings decision." Gandalf asks.

~later outside~

"By order of the king, the city must empty, we make for the refuge in Helms Deep. Do not burden yourselves with treasures. Take only what provisions you need." Hama announces.

I eavesdrop on Gandalf and Aragorn.

"Helms Deep! They flee to the mountains when they should stand and fight. Who will defend them if not their king?" Gandalf asks.

"He is only doing what he think is the best for his people. Helms Deep has saved them in the past." Aragorn says.

"There is no way out of that Ravine. Théoden is walking into a trap. He thinks he's leading them to safety, but what he'll get is a massacre. Théoden has a strong will but I fear for him. I fear for the survival of Rohan. He will need you before the end there, Aragorn. The people of Rohan will need you. The defenses have to hold."

"They will hold." Aragorn reassures Gandalf.

I stop listening and turn back to Legolas, Gimli, and Kylaney.

"It's rude to eavesdrop on private conversations, meleth nin." Legolas tells me.

"Pffftt, you have Elf ears too. you cant tell me that you haven't eavesdropped on something before."

"I haven't." He lies with a smirk.

"Liarrrrr" I complain.

"Okay fine, maybe once or twice."

"Ha, I win" I smile.

I see Gandalf mount shadowfax.

"Oh, bye Gandalf!" I shout.

Suddenly I think of Arwen and sadness fills me. My face changes.

Legolas notices.

"Whats wrong, Meleth nin?"

"Nothing.." I respond.

He takes my hand and takes me somewhere private.

"Tell me what's wrong, please."

I sigh. "It's nothing, really. I just was thinking about Arwen."

He kisses my forehead. "You'll see her again one day, Meleth nin."
