Star-Crossed Bond ( Legolas X Reader )

XVII. ( Charta )

Legolas's footsteps echoed through the halls as he made his way to the library, his mind still filled with thoughts as he anticipated finding Y/N once again. His heart fluttered with excitement, and he could feel a small smile forming on his lips. He approached the library doors, his curiosity piqued, and pushed them open, eager to see if she was still there.

Legolas strolled into the library, his senses filled with the scent of aged parchment and leather-bound books. The room was calm and peaceful, with the soft sound of the fire crackling in the fireplace. He spotted Y/N sitting on the couch near a window, her eyes stuck in a book. A soft smile formed on Legolas's face as he approached her.

"There you are," Legolas said softly, drawing Y/N's attention. "I was looking for you." He approached her, his gaze filled with warmth and affection. "I hope I'm not disturbing your reading," he added, his voice gentle. "I just wanted to steal a moment of your time." 

"Prince Legolas," she greeted, her voice filled with excitement as she gestured to the couch beside her.

 "Please, have a seat." She scooted over slightly, making room for him to join her. Her expression was eager as if she had been waiting for him.

"Thank you, Lady Y/N." Legolas smiled warmly and took a seat on the couch beside her, his gaze meeting hers. 

"I hope you don't mind me interrupting your reading. I just wanted to have a moment to talk with you." His voice soft and sincere.

 "Oh, not at all," she replied. 

"Well, I have to admit," Legolas began, a playful twinkle in his eyes. "You seemed quite absorbed in your book. What has captured your attention so intensely?" He leaned slightly closer, showing genuine interest in what she was reading. 

Y/N held up the book, her expression filled with enthusiasm. "It's just one of the books we got from our journey," she explained. 

"Eladan and I love to travel through Middle Earth, and we often collect books from various places. They're filled with fascinating stories and valuable knowledge." Her words conveyed her passion for reading and exploring, and she seemed eager to share her experiences with Legolas.

"That sounds fascinating," Legolas replied, admiration in his voice. "It seems you and Eladan share a passion for exploration and knowledge. Collecting books from various parts of Middle-earth must be a wonderful way to learn about different cultures and histories." 

He leaned back on the couch, his expression thoughtful. "I can only imagine all the stories and wisdom those books hold."

"Indeed, the books we've collected on our journey hold a treasure trove of knowledge." Y/N smiled warmly at Legolas's words. 

"Reading them has given me a glimpse into the diverse cultures and histories of Middle-earth." She placed her book on the nearby table, her focus now entirely on Legolas. "So, is there anything that you wanted to discuss?"

Legolas took a moment to gather his thoughts, his eyes meeting Y/N's. "I wanted to share something personal with you," he began, his voice gentle. 

"I know we haven't known each other for long, but there's something I feel when I'm around you. It's difficult to put into words, but being in your presence..." He paused, searching for the right words. 

"It feels like a breath of fresh air, like the beauty of nature. It warms my heart." His eyes never left hers, his words laced with sincerity.

Y/N listened attentively, her expression filled with warmth and understanding. She could sense the sincerity in Legolas's words. "Legolas," she said softly, reaching out to gently brush her fingers against his hand, "I feel it too. It's as if our souls find a connection that goes beyond words. Your presence brings a sense of comfort and joy to my heart." She smiled, her eyes sparkling with emotion. "I'm grateful to have crossed paths with you."
