Legolas x Arwen - Unsure

Requested by Skynide33

Arwen's pov

An arranged marriage?!

What is ada thinking?! Does he think I will be happy being tied to the woodland realm?! I mean I care for Legolas but it doesn't mean I will leave Imladris for him!

As I sit in my room in my home of Rivendell I ponder over my love and if he means to me what I think he does. Although I should be packing I cannot find the will to even bother. It is a shame I cannot marry Estel, yet I know I must marry into the woodland realm, mayhaps I could live in Imladris if I asked ada.

"Hiril- vuin? It is time to be leaving for the king's halls..."

Nodding sadly knowing my maids have been packing for me all week I take a final look about my room and sigh. I hope I may see you again one day my old friend, till then I bid you farewell. As I leave the room quietly in my beautiful blue dress I walk past ada with no glance at him but as I spot my twin brothers Elladan and Elrohir I rush to them and hug them both tight.

"Munthiel, what seems the matter?"

"I do not wish to go to the Woodland Realm, I wish to stay here."

They sigh and kiss each side of my temple and whisper softly.

"Munthiel, we will guide you there and be there for the first month unless ada needs us, ai?"

Ai, but what if the elven prince takes a single look at me and ignores me from then on unless it is a public situation? Stop fretting Arwen, he will treat you kindly, you know he is kind. Quit your worrying. As I nod shyly and let them lead me to Asfoleth my mother's horse I mount and tie on my cloak and sigh softly.

"Ai, I understand Elrohir, does not mean I do not worry for my marriage arrangements."

They nod and mount up and we set off with Ada's blessing of safety and I feel a weight that wasn't there when I left my room fall on my shoulders. I just hope and pray he enjoys my company, for if not I will be miserable for certain.

*Two weeks travel later*

A long two weeks our travel has been, but finally, we have reached the Elvenking's halls and I feel more anxious than I felt hearing the news I was to wed Legolas Greenleaf. What a relief it is to be greeted by the captain of the guard Tauriel, she seems kind enough to be a friend even if she glares at me as if she knows why I am here.

"Tauriel?"

"Ai?"

"Do you know of my visit?"

As she gives a curt nod and turns from me I feel saddened and look down slightly till I am allowed to dismount before the gates and walk through them silently. It has been such a long time since I have been here, I wish I knew the layout of these halls like the ones at home... There is the path to the stables, I must remember to go there after my meeting with Thranduil.

"Hir vuin, Thranduillion..."

"Arwen Evanstar, a pleasant sight to see in one piece. I trust your journey was tiring but peaceful?"

"Ai, Hir vuin."

"Good, that is always excellent news to hear. I trust Elrond has told you of your arrangement to my son?"

"Ai-, I still have yet to forget that my king."

He chuckles and I hear jangling chainmail and turn to see Legolas running towards us and his guards following at a similar pace behind him. He grins at me, bows to his father slightly and then turns to me his blue eyes alight with a sparkle I had yet to forget and takes my hand gently. As he places a tender kiss on my hand I feel the warmth spread through me as I smile shyly at his warm grin.

"Forgive my late arrival, my lady, I had been making sure no spiders got to you and your caravan."

"All is forgiven my lord, do not fret."

He grins widely at me and nods then turns to his father. Who looks slightly unimpressed with his son's obvious flirting with the woman he's engaged to.

"Adar, I was finishing off spiders in the woods, I am sorry I am late for the welcoming of lady Arwen."

"I can see that you are late, do not let it happen again understand?"

"Ai, Ada."

Feeling a small giggle come on as Thranduil turns and Legolas makes a ridiculous face at him and then hides it with a solemn look when his father turns around. As the king sits I let out a small giggle remembering the many times I have done the same thing to my Ada. As the king raises a thick eyebrow I blush look down shyly and smile at my hands.

"Is there something you wish to say Arwen?"

"No, but I remember several times in my youth where I have been reckless and untimely and this interaction just reminded me of a few instances."

As Thranduil smirks softly and Legolas smirks cockily at his ada as if to say I won the bet! I turn to him and say clearly, surprising the prince of Greenwood.

"I do wish to meet your friends tomorrow, but for now I am afraid I must rest, I tire very easily."

Bowing to the king and prince I get a nod signaling I am dismissed and I leave for my private chambers, apparently across the hall from Legolas. Practically gliding into my room I find my things all lain out for me in my preferred manners and I smile at the dedication of my maids. What I would do to find out I have a balcony overlooking a garden or something...

Stepping out to the bed sitting down upon it, picking up a book quietly I lose myself in the world of the characters till I hear a knock.

"Hmm? Who's there?"

"Legolas, my lady."

"Oh! Do come in, I hope I wasn't keeping you waiting.."

As he opens the door with a dress draped over his arm and shuts it with a grin, as he walks towards me.

"No-, i just arrived, Your dress I had made for you was finished just half an hour ago, I felt it appropriate to deliver it in person."

I smile and see the beautiful autumn-colored dress in his arms and gasp softly.

"Legolas- You didn't need to make me a dress! It isn't fair! I didn't get you anything..."

His warm laugh as he lays it out on my bed for me and smiles at me as I hug him tight.

"There is no need, all you have to do is be here and I am content."

"But that is unfair, you- I must give you something more than just that!"

"Whatever do you mean hiril vuin? I Am content with just your presence, it is more than enough for me to accept it."

"My presence is enough to repay you? I am aware I sound daft but, how am I a repayment?"

"Because I care greatly for you, that is why. Now, go change, please? I wish to see the dress on you."

"A-are you positive I am sufficient?"

As he gently sighs I nod and rush off quickly to the changing room and change from my dress into the beautiful flowing autumn colors. Smiling in excitement as I see the fantastic color pallet chosen for my being and my dress. As I gently struggle a little with the fabric getting over my slim form, I hear chuckling from the opposing side of the screen.

"It tends to go on better when you loosen it mela.."

Snorting at his correcting me I loosen the dresses side lacings that I hadn't noticed and slip the gown on gently. Stepping out to face him clothed I approach and ask him quietly to help me tie the lacings. Without a fight, he gently tightens the lacings to my liking and when we finish he takes my hand.

"Shall we go to dinner? I will guide you so you do not get lost, do not fear."
