Prom - Maedhros x Reader

Now this one is my longest ever oneshot. This is a modern-ish high school A.U. so the Middle-earth timeline doesn't apply to this one. There are people here who are only mentioned by last name, so here's a guide

Signs were up everywhere in the hallways. The prom was coming up next month, and you didn't have a date. Not that you were concerned about getting one, anyways, as you hoped to go by yourself and be with some of your friends.

Today, you sat in homeroom, which was Mr. Orophelion's history class, when the teacher announced that he was going to switch up the seating chart. Everyone groaned, took their stuff and walked to the back of the room. You used to sit next to your best friend, Arwen, and your other friend, Frodo. But now, you were going to sit next to two different people.

"Hm... you," Mr. Orophelion pointed to you. "Sit here." He placed his hands on the second desk in the third row. You awkwardly shifted towards your new seat and sat down. "And you..." The teacher pointed to a young man with dark red hair. His name was Maedhros, and you were acquainted with him, but you two were not yet friends. "Sit here." Mr. Orophelion tapped the chair next to yours.

Maedhros walked to his seat quickly, looked at you and waved. You waved back at him and shyly turned your head towards the back of the room. Arwen stifled a giggle upon seeing your face.

The boy sitting next to you was quite attractive in your opinion, and perhaps your face showed that. Maedhros looked at you with furrowed eyebrows.

"Are you alright?" he asked. You nodded in response.

At last, Mr. Orophelion had finished assigning seats. On your left was Maedhros and on your right was Sam Gamgee. To your far right was Gimli.

"Now, you may be wondering why I changed your assigned seats." said Mr. Orophelion. The class began to murmur. "Silence!" The class went quiet. "This new seating arrangement is for a group project. The person next to you is your partner. For instance, Lindir and Frodo are partners, Elladan and Elrohir are partners, and so on."

This meant that you and Maedhros are partners.

"This project is about researching a part of the history of Middle-earth. It could be a kingdom, a lineage, a battle. I will assign your topic to you." Mr. Orophelion explained. "You must type up an essay about the history and parts of your assigned topic. I will pass out packets with your topic on it and more details about the project."

One of the packets were handed to you. At the top, the word "Noldor" was written. This is what you were to write about.

"Psst, Maedhros. We got Noldor." you told your project partner.

"That is good news." said Maedhros. "My ancestors were of the Noldor clan. Plus, I believe we have some teachers who were a part of it."

"Good. That means we have lots of sources for our project." You and Maedhros discussed the project and began to plan it until the bell rang.

The two of you parted ways and went to second period. Arwen caught up to you and together you walked down the hall.

"What topic did you get for the project?" Arwen asked.
