PS: This is based on a true story: it's something that actually happened to me once... woops!

Requested: Nope

Warnings: mentions of abuse, a lot of misunderstandings

King Theoden was finally freed of Saruman's curse. Today you would discuss the plans how to defend Rohan against the army of Uruk-Hai and Dunlendings. You knew King Theoden would want to go to Helm's Deep, but you also knew that that was something Aragorn and Gandalf wanted to avoid at all costs. So to say today was going to be interesting, was an understatement.

You were on your way to the Dining Hall to have a nice and calm breakfast with the remaining members of the Fellowship Gimli, Aragorn, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf and Legolas, before your meeting with the King.

Legolas was already gone when you woke up, he probably hadn't even slept for more than a few hours. He had a very restless night. You on the otherhand had slept like a baby. That's what you get when you could finally sleep in a bed after weeks and weeks of sleeping on the cold, hard ground.

Eowyn had made sure you were all cleaned up and gave you one of her finest dresses to wear. It made you nervous because it had been ages since you last wore a dress, and you were anxious to see Legolas' reaction to it.

Everyone gasped when they saw you, a reaction you thought was a little over the top. Did you really look like a potato sack the entire time that a simple dress was enough to drop their jaws to the ground? You were more offended than flattered.

Legolas got up from the table and slowly made his way towards you, staring at your face. His lips were in a thin line and his eyes were cold, his jaw clenched. When you looked at Aragorn, Gimli and the others, their expressions weren't very different.

Every single one of them looked like they were ready to slit some throats.
He halted right in front of you, and his expression changed from pure hatred to... pity?

He touched your cheek gently, you barely even felt his fingers graze your skin.

"Who did this to you, Y/N?" he asked softly.

What? Did they really think you looked that ridiculous?

"W-what? What are you talking about?"

Aragorn also made his way to you, Gimli right behind him.

"Whoever it was, we will make him pay," he promised, Legolas nodded at him gratefully.

"Yeah Lassie, leave it to us! We've got your back!"

"Seriously, I don't know what you're talking about," you laughed. But then you felt a dull pain around your eye. Oh... suddenly you remembered.

"Oh this?" you asked, pointing at your bruised eye. "Nothing happened, don't worry about it."

"Nothing? Meleth nin, someone assaulted you. Never try to hide something like that from me. Ever!" Legolas said, cupping your face with his hands.

"Legolas, really... It's nothing, it's just-"

"Y/N, this isn't nothing," Aragorn interrupted you, you noticed he became a little irritated. "Tell us who did this to you."

You looked at their faces one by one, seeing their determined looks. They would not let this go until you told them. Merry, Pippin, Eomer and Gandalf were still sitting at the table, but they were also waiting for your answer.

"Fine! But you're not going to like this..." you sighed.

"It was Legolas. He did this to me."

Several things happened at once, but you could say that all hell definitely broke loose.

Upon hearing Legolas' name, Merry and Pippin jumped up from their seats, ready to tackle the Elf to the ground.

Aragorn looked at his friend in disbelief, while Gimli shouted all sorts of profanities at him.
Everyone was shocked Legolas was capable of doing something like that, but there was no one as horrified as Legolas himself.

"I hurt you?" he whispered, eyes wide.

"No! Well... yes!" you said. "But you didn't mean to, it was an accident."

You took a step towards him, but he stopped you.
"No, don't come near me. I'm a monster..."

"You could say that!"

"What kind of man lays a hand on his own las?"

"And to think I called you my friend!"
"You were the last person I expected this from."

They all started to yell over each other, shocked by what they just learned about their Elven friend.

"Would you all just calm down for a second and let me explain this?!" you yelled.

"Last night, he threw his arm on my face by accident. He was sleeping, he didn't know what he was doing," you explained.

You took a few steps to Legolas, relieved to see he let you.

"It was an accident, meleth nin. I know you would never hurt me on purpose."

You looked towards the others.
"But it's nice to know you all have my back..."

A/N: Ah... misunderstandings!
Like I said, this actually happened to me once and it was hilarious.
