The Hobbit - Reader One Shots

Legolas x (Elf) Reader

A/N: Requested by LuvLeggy. I am so sorry it took so long to update, I had huge writers block and life caught up on me a bit. Anyway I hope you enjoy.

Legolas' P.O.V

I smiled as I tried to catch up with the energetic girl running in front of me.

"(Y/N)! Slow down! I'm not as fast as you!"

"Well learn to be, little leaf!"

Grumbling about how I should never have told her my name, I sped up almost catching her, when she pulled her body up into one of the trees, running around the branches instead.

Suddenly there was a shout from above me and I watched as her body tumbled to the ground. Slowing down to a stop, I dropped to my knees beside her, panic filling every fibre of my body.

"(Y/N)! Can you hear me? (Y/N)? Come on wake up! Please."

There was stifled laughter from below me as her eyes opened meeting my glossy blue ones. Realising she had tricked me, I playfully punched her arm as she sat up.

"That's not funny mellon. You scared me."

"I'm sorry Legolas. I was just checking that you still cared for me."

"Well of course I do, you are my best friend."

The young elleth smiled up at me as I helped her stand, both of us taking off running through the woods again.

A laugh escaped my throat as I watched (Y/N) practically skip through the trees of Mirkwood. We had been allowed some time to ourselves as we didn't really get to see each other a lot due to our busy schedules, me being the prince of Mirkwood and her being one of the guards.

“Come on Little Leaf. Get a move on.”

A small smile covered my lips as she used my old nickname, it had been a while since I had heard it. Adjusting the bag on my back, I kept walking, staring at the flowing (h/c) locks that moved out from behind her as she made her merry way through the trees. She was beautiful and even though she is my closest friend I admit that I occasionally want to be seen as more than a friend in her eyes.

Briefly taking my eyes off (Y/N), I took a moment to look around the forest, the leaves slowly turning golden and fiery red colours. Facing forward again I noticed (Y/N) was no longer there. Panic began to set in. It hadn’t been long since we had gotten rid of the spiders so a few still could be lurking about.

“(Y/N)! (Y/N) Where are you?”

“I’m up here you nadorhuan!” (cowardly dog)

I let out a sigh of relief, looking up and noticing (Y/N) sat on a high branch. She was safe. Placing my bag down, I leant up against a tree opposite her, inspecting my bow.

CRACK!

Looking up in horror I watched as the branch (Y/N) was sat on, had a large split running across it, her body frozen in fear. Without a second thought, I forced my body forward as the branch and (Y/N) was sent tumbling to the floor.

Reader’s P.O.V

I kept my eyes forced closed as I awaited the impact of the cold hard forest ground only for it to never arrive and a soft ‘ophf’ to be heard instead of the sickening crack of my bones. Slowly peeling my eyes open, the met the concerned blue ones of Legolas. Neither of us spoke and just stayed there staring into each other's eyes.

“Are you okay melamin?” (my love)

I nodded slowly as he set me down onto my own two feet. Looking up at him I noticed him still staring at me with concern.

“I’m fine Legolas. Let’s get going, we need to set up camp at some point.”

Picking my fallen bag up again, I sent a smile towards the blonde elf before starting to walk once more, deeper into the forest, my mind wondering back to his words.

“Melamin? What could he mean?”

~*~

I lay down on the grass, the blades gently tickling my neck, staring up into the night sky trying to count the infinite number of stars.

“Three hundred and four, three hundred and five, three hundred and six, three hundred and-”

“What are you doing?”

Tilting my head backwards, I looked at Legolas as he stood above me. I sent him a smile and patted the spot next to me, motioning for him to join me. Turning my attention back to the sky tried to find the star I was on, huffing when I couldn’t find it again.

“I was counting the stars but I have lost my position thanks to you.”

A laugh escaped his lips as he lay down beside me, looking up in the sky as well. We sat there for a good while not speaking until his voice cut through the night air.

“(Y/N)?”

I uttered a ‘hmm’ in response, turning to face him.

“About earlier. I want to apologise for calling you melamin. It was wrong of me. I shouldn’t have spoken out my feelings like that and if you don’t feel the same way it is fine and -”

My laugh cut off his little speech as I moved my body closer to him so that my head was resting on his toned chest.

“It’s quite alright. To be honest I like that name coming out of your mouth and don’t worry about it ruining our friendship because I feel the same way about you. Amin mela lle.” (I love you)

“You- you do?”

I lifted my head up to look at his moonlit face, gently caressing his jaw line, nodding gently in conformation. A smile appeared on his lips as he held my waist tightly as if I was going to suddenly get up and leave.

“Erm, may I, well, may I kiss you (Y/N)?”

I nodded once more and lowered my head till our lips met in a chaste loving kiss. And that is where we stayed for the rest of the night, cuddling and sharing sweet kisses until dawn.
