Legolas - Human Anatomy

Anoniem asked:

heyo! could you do number 7 on the general prompt list with legolas if you still take them? i wanna see what he would do if he found his love covered in blood lol

I didn't go exactly with the 'covered in blood' thing because then we would have angst. Hope you don't mind!

I wrote this in one go during my break at work, so sorry if it feels a little rushed!

Warnings: blood

HUMAN ANATOMY

"Move your feet!"

Legolas was watching you train from the sidelines of the training ground, and constantly shouted directions at you.

You were making one mistake after the other, and his mood was getting fouler by the minute because you weren't listening to him.

Your training partner noticed you weren't yourself today and gladly took advantage of it.

It wasn't easy being a mortal human amongst the Elves. They never went easy on you, which was highly unfair in your opinion. Their stamina was much higher than yours, their reflexes faster and they had heightened senses for crying out loud!

On most days that didn't give you any trouble though, you were smart and had a habit to outwit your opponents.

But you and Legolas had a pretty heated fight this morning that wasn't over when you had to leave for training and it was still lingering at the back of your mind. You had promised King Thranduil that your relationship wouldn't influence your guard duties, but today it most certainly did.

You desperately tried to pour your frustrations into the fight, but your opponent didn't let you. You countered attack after attack, barely enough time to recover in between them.

Your opponent took a swing at your chest with their blades, hitting your arm instead thanks to your quick reflexes. You let out a frustrated growl but before you could repay them, they swiped your feet from under your body. The force with which your back hit the ground, knocked the air out of your lungs.

"Y/N, you're not even trying!" Legolas yelled.

Easy for you to say, you thought angrily. Your arm started to throb and sting, they had hit you harder than you initially thought. A trail of dark red blood trickled down your arm to the ground.

You groaned and closed your eyes. Damn your mortal body...

When he noticed you weren't getting up, Legolas made his way over, dismissing your partner.

You quickly covered your arm with your other hand, knowing he would go in bf-protection mode as soon as he saw you were hurt.

"What is it with you today? You were being impossible this morning and now you're slacking during training?" he snapped, towering over you.

You opened your eyes and glared at him, while trying to scramble to your feet.

"I'm sorry I'm not as perfect as you and your kin! I'm only human after all!"

You made your way to the castle in an attempt to make a dramatic exit, but Legolas grabbed your arm to stop you. The one that was hurt.

You hissed in pain, but quickly tried to disguise it as a frustrated groan. You crossed your arms so you could support the wounded arm a little better.

Legolas watched you carefully, and his features softened.

"Y/N?"

"What?" you mumbled, already knowing what was coming. He was going to make a scene.

"Talk to me, what's wrong?"

Okay, no scene...?

"Nothing."

You clutched your arm a little tighter to your body, trying to stop the bleeding in the process.

It didn't do much though, and it didn't take long for the blood to drop from your arm to the ground, forming a dark red stain in the sand.

"Look, I'm sorry for this morning- Is that blood?"

"No..."

He cocked his eyebrow at you. You sighed.

"Yes, but that doesn't matter right now, Legolas, what does matter is-"

"You are literally bleeding."

"I am aware of that."

He gently took your arm and examined the wound. His fingers touched your skin ever so lightly, you barely even felt it, and yet it gave you goosebumps.

Legolas noticed and chuckled softly, the angry tension between the both of you somehow already gone.

"I know you're strong and capable of many things, but this is exactly what we discussed this morning," he began.

"It was hardly a discussion, Legolas. You forbade me from going on missions with the guard because they are and I quote 'too dangerous for a human'!"

He showed your wounded arm and raised his eyebrows.

"It's just a scratch- wow..." You swayed a little when you moved too quickly.

Legolas' hands went to your waist to steady you, his eyes full of worry.

"I'm fine, just haven't eaten anything today. 'm a little lightheaded."

"That's it, I'm taking you to the healers."

Before you could protest he took you in his arms and kissed your temple.

"I can walk you know, my legs aren't hurt," you grinned.

"Can you please for once shut up and let me take care of you?"
