Star-Crossed Bond ( Legolas X Reader )

XV. ( Vitrum )

As they approached the palace, they were greeted by a servant who seemed surprised and delighted to see the lady. "Oh goodness! You're back early, milady!" she exclaimed, her eyes twinkling with excitement.

With a smile Y/N said. "Yes, Iriel, would you please prepare rooms for our guests?" she instructed, gesturing towards the Fellowship. The woman responded promptly, "Of course, milady," and proceeded to fulfill her task.

She then turned to the fellowship  "Iriel will make sure you all have comfortable rooms. Please, take your time to rest and freshen up once your rooms are prepared. We will catch up soon," her smile was gentle and reassuring. Tiredness was evident in their demeanor as the Fellowship members exchanged glances. They turned to Y/N, expressing their gratitude with heartfelt "thank you"s.

Y/N's gaze shifted to the hobbits, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "Once you've all freshened up, I'll ensure the kitchen prepares a welcome feast for us," she said, winking playfully at them. 

The promise of a delicious meal sparked excitement among the hobbits, their exhaustion momentarily forgotten.

Merry and Pippin's eyes lit up like stars. Pippin was already drooling at the thought, while Merry grinned from ear to ear. "You hear that, Pippin? We're in for a feast!" Merry exclaimed, his stomach growling in anticipation. 

Pippin's grin widened, and he rubbed his hands together eagerly. "A feast! I hope they've got enough of it!" he said, earning a chuckle from the lady and the rest of the fellowship.

Y/N playfully pinched the hobbits' cheeks, her smile widening. "Yes, yes, let's eat and eat," she said happily. She then said casually, "After all, hobbits taste even better when they're happy and full."

The lady's teasing remark had Merry and Pippin, Sam and Frodo looking at each other, a mix of confusion and shock on their faces. "Did she just say... 'hobbit taste better?'" Pippin whispered to Merry, his eyes widening. 

Merry tried to reassure Pippin, though he couldn't hide the tremor in his voice. "I'm sure she meant 'good.' Like 'good mood,' not... not 'good taste,'" he stammered, swallowing nervously.

Eladan groaned, exasperation written on his face. "Naneth!" he uttered, shaking his head. Hearing his words, Y/N couldn't help but laugh, a melodic sound that filled the air. Eladan continued a hint of apology in his voice, "Forgive her, she's just playing." he said trying to calm down the bewildered hobbits. 

Legolas's eyes widened upon hearing Eladan's words, and relief filled his heart. Aragorn put his hand on Legolas's shoulder. "See Mellon, Nothing to worry about. You still have your chance," he whispered with a smirk.

Legolas's cheek warmed up upon hearing Aragorn words, he awkwardly averting his gaze everywhere "Quite Aragorn!" he whispered back, making Aragorn's smirk bigger.

And then out of nowhere Boromir and Gimli roared with laughter, the sound booming through the room. The hobbits exchanged anxious glances, their faces tense and uncertain. 

Gimli, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye, turned to Y/N with a smile and said, "You know, lass," he said, still chuckling, "you've got quite the sense of humor. I like you." 

Eladan groaned in mock exasperation, "Oh no, don't encourage her". 

Eladan's groan only made Y/N's smile wider, and she poked his shoulder playfully. "Now, now, Eladan, you know you love my jokes," she said, her eyes twinkling with mischief, eladan just rolled his eyes playfully.

Iriel returned with a smile, "My lady, all the rooms are ready," she announced. The lady thanked her kindly, before turning her attention to the Fellowship. "You can follow Iriel and rest. And please, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call for Iriel. Eladan, please assist Iriel in escorting our guests." Eladan nodded in response, ready to guide the Fellowship to their respective rooms.
