144. Embrace of the Rain - Legolas x reader (LOTR?)

Y/N sat near the open archway of Legolas's chamber, their gaze fixed on the rain-soaked landscape outside. The endless stream of water cascaded down the glass, each droplet blurring the world beyond into a watery haze. They sighed softly, the rhythmic patter of the rain matching the quiet thoughts swirling in their mind.

Legolas, seated nearby in a comfortable chair, was absorbed in a stack of scrolls and documents. He glanced up occasionally, his attention divided between his duties and the love of his life. Each time he looked at Y/N, he noticed their wistful expression and felt a pang of guilt.

After a moment, he set aside his scrolls and moved closer to Y/N. As he sat down beside them, Y/N leaned gently against him. Legolas responded by wrapping his arm around them, pulling them closer into a comforting embrace.

"Is something troubling you, my love?" Legolas asked softly, his voice a gentle murmur amidst the sound of the rain. He pressed a tender kiss to Y/N's temple, hoping to draw them out of their reverie.

Y/N leaned into the warmth of Legolas's embrace, the sound of his voice like a balm to their troubled thoughts. They hesitated, then nodded slightly. "I just thought that since you have been cooped up with your duties, we could go outside... But I kind of put aside the consideration that you were doing something important."

Legolas sighed softly, his heart aching at the sadness in Y/N's voice. He gently combed his fingers through their hair, his touch tender and reassuring. "Nothing is more important than you," he whispered, his voice filled with sincerity.

Y/N's eyes shimmered with emotion as they looked up at Legolas. "I know your duties are significant, Legolas, and I don't want to take you away from them. But sometimes, I just miss spending time with you, especially in moments like these."

Legolas cupped Y/N's face in his hands, his gaze steady and full of love. "You are my priority, Y/N. The duties will always be there, but these moments we share are precious and fleeting. Let's not let them slip away."

He stood, taking Y/N's hand and leading them to the open archway. The rain continued to pour, the rhythmic sound inviting them into its embrace. "Come," he said softly, a smile playing on his lips. "Let's forget everything else for a while and just be together."

Y/N hesitated for a brief moment, then smiled back, their heart swelling with affection. Together, they walked to the entrance, the sound of the rain growing louder as they approached.

Legolas paused at the threshold, glancing at Y/N with a reassuring smile. The rain was cool against their skin, each droplet a tiny kiss from the heavens. Y/N followed him; the initial chill of the rain quickly replaced by a sense of liberation and joy.

As they stepped into the garden, the world around them transformed into a vibrant, living canvas. The colors of the flowers and leaves seemed more intense, with each blade of grass glistening with moisture. Legolas laughed, the sound rich and carefree, a stark contrast to his usual composed demeanor.

Y/N watched him, feeling a warmth spread through their chest at the sight of his happiness. They reached for his hand, their fingers intertwining. Legolas looked at Y/N with a mixture of admiration and affection. He guided them into the center of the garden, the rain continuing to fall around them in a soothing rhythm.

"Shall we dance?" Legolas asked, his voice carrying an edge of playful enthusiasm.

Y/N smiled, nodding. "Yes, let's dance."

Legolas pulled Y/N close, their bodies pressing together as they moved to the gentle rhythm of the rain. The droplets splashed around them, creating a symphony of sound that blended perfectly with their soft laughter. Legolas's hold on Y/N was tender but firm, his movements graceful and fluid.
