You lay quietly against Glorfindel's warm chest, listening to the lulling sound of his heart beating and his soft breathing. Pages occasionally turning as he read in silence, lounging in his bed leaning against the headboard. You had just been quietly enjoying the beauty of his room and the peace that you had laying here with him.

His sparkling white room was illuminated in bright orange light as the fire licked and lapped at the logs in the hearth. Only a few candles next to you helped keep the brightness, especially since tonight it was a new moon and it was utterly dark outside. All the light colored furniture looking far more warm and inviting, including the pure white comforter the two of you rested on.

The greatest thing of living in Gondolin was having constant moments like this where you could just be with him without worry. Each day was utterly blissful, even on days where Turgon needed more of your partner.

Gently you began to roll over, making him pause in his reading to watch you shift until you were facing towards the ceiling. With care you took the book from his hands, making Glorfindel begin to chuckle as he let you before you pressed your hand flat against his palm.

"I like the way your hand fits in mine..." Glorfindel said in a sweet voice to you, bringing his other freehand to wrap around your waist pulling you close to him. You closed your eyes humming as you felt his big hand grasp yours snugly,

"Yes... I like the size difference, it makes me feel safe." You breathed to him before letting out a sigh as you realized how late it was getting. While you and Glorfindel were extremely affectionate with one another, the two of you weren't wed yet and it was perhaps long past time to return to your chambers.

"I should be returning to my room, it is getting late." You muttered with a frown slowly beginning to sit up and turning to face Glorfindel who was following your lead. Your hands were still entwined together, and Glorfindel looked down at the entanglement fondly and longingly. You were certainly in no rush to pull away from him,

"Y/N?" He asked in a soft and gentle voice, looking down at you earnestly, his blue eyes full of warmth and love as he stared at you. A faint tinge of pink beginning to make its way to his cheeks,

"Perhaps... you'd like to stay the night?" Glorfindel suggested to you warily, unsure how you'd respond to such an invitation. You couldn't help the blush that began to spread across your face, even your ears growing hot with nervousness. With your freehand you began to fidget with your robes looking down and away from him coyly.

"I um... would like that... But I wouldn't have anything to wear to bed." You explained in a soft voice, turning down his invitation. Eru would you love nothing more to stay the night with him, but for you this should have been planned out ahead of time! That way you could've brought your own night clothes and a change of clothes for the following day! Glorfindel smiled softly before he scooted forward to be closer to you, thumb gently stroking the smooth skin on your hand.

"I have tunics that will be plenty long enough for you to borrow. Trousers as well if you wish it." Glorfindel countered sweetly, his voice warm and inviting. You bit your bottom lip at this, it was utterly tempting and you couldn't stop your heart from beginning to thrum with excitement at the prospect. You had never spent the night with him before... While you had napped with him before, you hadn't the luxury of staying overnight.

"What will I wear tomorrow?" You pressed him softly, Glorfindel still had things to do tomorrow that were work related and you didn't want to sit in his room all alone. The smile continued to pull at his lips, finger and thumb coming to slowly lift your chin so you'd look at him.
