A/N: This collection has reached rank #4 in elrond out of 185 stories. And then fell down #5, but it's still so neat! A huge thank you to every single reader who has stayed with me thus far, and for you new readers, I hope you have been enjoying the journey! Now, before I forget, I want to say something about the previous chapter that I forgot to mention. The method of making an x in the skin and sucking out snake venom does not work in today's world because humans do not possess a large enough lung capacity and would not be able to suck enough of it fast enough. But hey, the medical journal did not mention that elves didn't meet those requirements :P What lungs they must have! And can you imagine how long kissing could go on for? Hmmm... be right back.

*Pulls an unsuspecting elf prince behind a tree* There's nothing to see here, go on and read the chapter.

"Y/N, are you listening to me?"

You jerked your head in the elf's direction. "Sure I was. You were saying something about trees."

"Close," Legolas replied. "I was actually asking you if you wanted an apple."

You smiled sheepishly. "Sure, i'd love one."

The tree limb above you shook and an apple fell into your ready hand. It was after all, something of a common thing to receive your apples this way.

You took a big bite and leaned back against the trunk, only to see disappointment on the elf's face.

"We were supposed to take the first bite together, don't you remember?" he asked.

You and Legolas had an ongoing contest since the two of you were children. The way it would work is that you would both take a bite of your apples' at the same time and then compare bite sizes. If his was bigger he would get to choose the activity for the day, and vise versa. Every month that you visited Mirkwood since you were 10, the contest has remained ongoing. Apparently it was only meant to go on for 20 years.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It must have slipped my mind," you replied distantly.

Legolas stared at you intently. "Are you sure you are alright? You do not seem like yourself."

You nodded. "I'm fine." No I'm not, don't listen to me.

"You are certain?"

"Yes." No, I'm not fine. I am drowning and I need you to make me tell you about it.

You felt bitter contentment as Legolas stopped drilling you, and went back to staring at the clouds. Then his hand snaked around your shoulders and everything changed.

"I am sorry, did I hurt you?" Legolas asked pensively as you forcefully shoved his hand way.

Nothing came to mind to say. You knew that Legolas wasn't in any way like the elf you had met a few years ago. That creep had touched you the same way, but then his hands moved lower before you were ready and he didn't stop until you stormed off. It was a turn off to you when things moved too quickly and now you couldn't help but feel the same with Legolas at the moment because of where he touched you. Even though you knew that Legolas was a complete gentlemen and had never done anything to betray your trust, you still felt really uneasy and uncomfortable with it.
