Beneath the birch tree (edited)

Inspired by a comment on my Pinterest 💀

Beneath the verdant canopy of the ancient birch tree, Legolas Greenleaf often sought solace from the weight of his duties and the tumultuous events of Middle-earth. It was a sanctuary where the whispers of the wind mingled with the rustle of leaves, a place of tranquility that he cherished dearly. Little did he know that beneath its sheltering branches, a delightful surprise awaited him.

Y/N, a dear friend whose laughter sparkled like sunlight filtering through the leaves, was a frequent companion under the shade of the birch tree. Her presence brought a sense of joy and levity to their encounters, her playful banter a balm to Legolas' soul.

One afternoon, as they lounged in the dappled sunlight, reading a book,Y/N's eyes twinkled mischievously as she watched Legolas run a hand through his flowing hair.

"Legolas," she chimed, her voice carrying a playful lilt. "Your hair is just BEAUTIFUL. Could I brush it for you please?"

Surprised by the request, Legolas blinked before a soft smile graced his lips. "Why, of course. But I warn you, it may prove to be quite the task!" He gave a smile, with his teeth, which only y/n had ever seen.

Laughing, Y/N retrieved a brush from her bag, her movements graceful as she settled beside him. With each stroke of the brush through Legolas' hair, laughter bubbled between them like a spring fed by their shared joy.

As the days passed, the ritual of hair-brushing beneath the birch tree became a cherished tradition. Their laughter echoed through the forest, a symphony of friendship and camaraderie that resonated with the ancient trees.

In the midst of their playful banter and shared moments of quiet reflection, Legolas found himself captivated by Y/N's infectious spirit. Her sweetness and humor melted away the walls around his heart, leaving him vulnerable to emotions he had long kept buried.

One golden afternoon, as they lounged beneath the birch tree, Legolas found himself entranced by the way sunlight danced in Y/N's eyes, illuminating her features with an ethereal glow.

"Y/N," he began, his voice soft yet filled with a depth of emotion he had long kept hidden. "In your presence, I find solace and joy beyond measure. Your laughter is a melody that soothes my soul, and your kindness is a beacon of light in the darkness."

Y/N's eyes widened in surprise, her heart fluttering at Legolas' heartfelt words. "Oh, Legolas," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "You have brought so much happiness into my life. You mean the world to me."

Their gazes locked, the air crackling with unspoken emotions. And in that moment, beneath the whispering leaves of the birch tree, Legolas found the courage to speak the words he had long kept hidden in his heart.

"I... I love you, Y/N," he confessed, his voice trembling with vulnerability.

A smile bloomed on Y/N's lips, radiant as the dawn breaking through the forest canopy. "And I love you too, Legolas," she replied, her voice filled with a warmth that mirrored his own.

In the embrace of the birch tree's sheltering branches, amidst the laughter and whispers of the wind, Legolas and Y/N found not only friendship but also a love that would endure through all the trials and tribulations of their journey. 

And as they shared a tender kiss beneath the golden sunlight, they knew that their bond would forever be as strong and enduring as the ancient roots of the birch tree itself.
