You sit against the trunk of the tree, your legs hanging off the branch you're sitting on. "Hey, Y/N." Legolas says. You look up and smile. "Legolas." You say. "What are you doing here?" You ask. He stops at the base of the tree and rests his hand upon the trunk. "I'm actually here to see you." He answers. Your eyebrows raise. "Oh, okay." You say. "Can, uh, can we talk?" He asks. You smile and nod, climbing down the tree. While you're at the last branch, Legolas grabs your waist and helps you down. "Thank you." You say, your hands on his shoulders. He smiles and then takes a step back. You rest against the tree, watching him. He starts pacing. "Y/N." He states. Your eyebrows draw. "Yeah?" You ask. He sighs and stops pacing. He looks at you and sighs again. "What's wrong?" You ask worriedly. He walks closer to you. "Y/N, we've known each other for quite sometime." He starts while you nod. He gives you a weak smile. "I've fallen in love with you." He finishes. Your spine goes rigid and your eyes widen, staring at him in complete shock. Before you can begin to form words, Thorin calls you. "Y/N, where are you?" He asks. You peer around the tree. "Here-here I am." You say, smiling, your heart pounding. Thorin grins. "I was looking everywhere for you. I need to tell you something." He says. His grin fades as Legolas comes out from behind the tree. Thorin's eyebrows draw and sadness creeps into his eyes. "What-what is he doing here, Y/N?" Thorin asks. You walk over to Thorin. "Oh, he, um, he just wanted to talk to me." You say, blushing. "I see." Thorin breathes. Legolas sighs. "Well, Y/N, I need to go. But you think about what I say, all right? I'll be back later tonight." He informs. "O-okay." You say, your eyes never leaving Thorin's. Legolas leaves the both of you alone. "Is there something going on between the two of you?" Thorin asks. Your eyebrows draw and you shake your head. "No, no, no, of course not!" You exclaim, flushing. You sigh heavily. "What is it you wanted to talk to me about?" You ask. Thorin's facial features immediately change. He grins and grabs your hand. "Walk with me." He commands gently.
Thorin and you walk hand in hand until you reach the gardens. You gasp softly at the lovely flowers. "This is beautiful." You say. "Just like you." Thorin says softly. You turn your head and stare at him. "Y/N, I need to tell you something that has been weighing on my heart for quite sometime now." He says. Your heart just about tears out of your chest. "Yes?" You ask almost fearfully. He holds your face between his hands. "I love you." He replies. You gasp and pull away from him. "You too?" You ask, shaking your head. "What?" Thorin asks confused. "That's-that's what Legolas told me when we were by the tree. That he has fallen in love with me!" You exclaim, turning your back to Thorin, your heart pounding fast with panic. "What!" Thorin all but shouts. You jump. "I don't know what to do." You breathe. He takes you by the shoulders and turns you to face him. "Who do you love?" He asks, trying to make you look at him. You look at a tree over his shoulders, your face void of any emotion. "I don't know." You whisper. "Do you even love any of us?" He asks, his eyebrows drawing. You finally look at him, your mouth open. You shake your head slowly. "I don't know." You breathe. Tears sting your eyes and you take a step away from Thorin. "I-I I'm so confused!" You cry, before fleeing back to your home.~
"What do I do? What do I do?" You ask, pacing your room. Putting your hands on your head, you let out a grunt. "Why! Why do they both have to love me?!" You exclaim, frustrated. You sink into a chair with a defeated sigh. You close your eyes. "Who do I love?" You ask yourself. The silence answers you and you dig deep into your heart for a long minute. Your eyes fly open with a start and you jump up, blinking. "How come I never noticed it before?" You ask, running out of the room to go find Legolas and Thorin.~
Thorin and Legolas stand outside, watching you. "So apparently, we have encountered a certain... incident, shall we say?" You say, looking between them. Legolas looks confused and you look at him. "Legolas, Thorin too expressed his feelings towards me and you will find that they are quite like yours." You say. Legolas's eyes widen and he gapes. He between Thorin and you incredulously. You sigh. "It has come to my attention that I do have to choose one of you." You state. Legolas and Thorin glance at each other. "I'm not beating around the bush, I'm just going to say this flat out, okay?" You say, staring at them both. They nod. "Legolas, I'm sorry. You only have ever been a friend to me. And I wouldn't want to ruin that. Your friendship does mean a lot to me and I cherish it deeply; but I have no romantic feelings towards you." You say. "I understand, Y/N." Legolas whispers, his eyes on the ground. "I understand." He repeats barely audible. "I'm sorry." You breathe. He nods and walks away. You look at Thorin and smile. "What...what are you saying?" He asks. "It's what I'm not saying, Thorin." You say walking up to him. You put your hands on his chest and kiss him deeply.
[THE END] I hope you liked it!
