    I've come down with a cold and I thought I would write thisEnjoy!!!!

You and the Fellowship were to leave the grove outside of Lorien tomorrow.  You had just woken up.  You began to pack your bags for tomorrow.  As you fold a shirt of yours, you are struck with a sudden wave of dizziness.  You are standing up, and as you become dizzier and dizzier, you fell over, on your back.  You weakly groan.  Legolas hears the thud of you falling and rushes over to your side, along with Aragorn.  Legolas falls to your side.  Your vision is blurry, but you make out his face.  He is like a light in the darkness.  He takes a lock of hair that has fallen onto your face, and sweeps it behind your ear.  You weakly, with aching muscles, reach up and gently place your hand on his cheek.  He looks worried and concerned.  "( Y / N ), what happened?"  He says. "I was packing for tomorrow, and I got really dizzy, and my legs gave out, and I fell over."  You say.  "Aragorn, we will have to wait to continue on our quest.  I am not leaving until (Y / N ) is healed of whatever is ailing her."  Legolas says.  "I will go inform the others."  Says Aragorn solemnly.  He walks away.  "How do you feel, can you walk?"  Legolas inquires.  "The dizziness has gone away, mostly, but my legs still feel weak.  I feel fine, although I am quite cold.  My throat hurts a bit too.  But, I can assure you, I'm fine, there's no need to wait to travel.  I'm totally fine."  You say.  "No, somethings going on.  I have to figure out what though."  Legolas counters.  You sniff hard.  "On second thought, I do feel a bit sick.  Will you take care of me?"  You say.  "Of course I will, melleth nin."  He says as he picks you up bridal style. You put your arm around his shoulders.  He carries you to the camp.  He walks you over to his bedroll, because you already packed yours.  He gently sets you down on his bedroll, which is up against a tree.  He sits down beside you and pulls the covers around you.  Merry and Pippin rush over to your side.  "What happened?"   say in unison.  You explain.  "Is there anything we can do?"  They ask.  "An extra pillow would be nice, if it's not to much to ask."  You say.  " We're on it!" They say as they run off.  Sam now walks over with with a bowl of soup.  "Here you go.  This should help keep you warm."  He says.  "Thanks Sam."  You say with a smile.  He walks off to his bag.  He comes back with a blanket.  He lays it over you.  "Thank you so much Sam.  By, the way, the soup is delicious!"  You say after a bite of soup.  "Sam, could you go and fetch me my bag, it's in that forest over there, by my clothesline."  You say.  "Sure thing!"  He says as he walks off.  Merry and Pippin return, arms full of pillows.  "Here you go!" They say.  "Thank You both!"  You say. You laugh at the amount of pillows they are holding.  Your laughing turns to coughing.  Legolas is still at your side, and he grasps your hand tight.  He has a concerned look on his face.  Merry and Pippin arrange the pillows around you and behind your head.  At one point, Legolas is the the way of where they wanted to put a pillow, so they put it on his head.  You laugh, a little quieter this time.  Legolas takes the pillow off his head just as Merry and Pippin walk off.  Legolas puts the pillow behind your back.  He scooches a bit closer to you.  At this time, Sam returns with your bag.  "Where do you want this?"  He says.  "Here Sam.  I'll take that."  Legolas says.  He takes the bag from Sam.  "Thanks again Sam!"  You say.  "No problem, my lady!"  He says as he bows.  You smile.  He walks away.  Now it's just you and Legolas.  "Can i unload your bag for you?"  Legolas inquires. " That would be lovely.  Thank you"  You say.  He opens your bag.  He pulls out a blanket.  He sets it aside.  "We'll set this here in case we need it later."  He says.  He pulls out some of your clothes.  He sets them by by the blankets.  He pulls out out some books.  "Aha!  We might need these."  He says. " I forgot I even brought these!  I'm glad I did though!"  You say.  He sets the books by your other things.   He finds a couple other things in your bag, (like your bedroll), and he makes a pile of your stuff.  You are beginning to get quite the setup! 
     Eventually, it gets dark, and Legolas had stayed by your side the whole day.  Aragorn told you that everyone would stay in this camp until you were healed.  Aragorn (thanks to his epic ranger-y-ness), had determined that what you had was just a common cold.  But all the walking had really made it hit you hard at first.
     You lay there for a while, but eventually Legolas gets up to go change into nightclothes.  He walks out into the forest, and returns wearing a greyish blue tunic and leggings.  He rushes over to your side, kneeling down next to your pile of stuff.  He grabs your bedroll, and lays it down right by yours, so that the sides touch.  He lays down next to you, and puts his arm behind your shoulders. He lays his cheek on your forehead. "( Y / N )! You have a fever.  He got up and walked over to the camp, returning with a cold cloth.  He lay down next to you and laid the cloth on your forehead.  He put his arm around your shoulder. 
     An hour later, he removes the cloth, and sets it aside.  He huddles up closer to you, and you do the same to him.  You bury your head in his neck.  You both fall asleep, together.
