Today was the day of a large event in Imladris. It was a party, and many elves were going to attend it. There was to be music, food, and drink. So, it was going to be pretty fun. The party has been planned, and it took a few weeks to fully plan. It had to be perfect and up to the elves' standards.

You were one of the elves that were going to be attending this party. Honestly, you weren't the type of person to go to parties, and the only real reason why you were going to attend the party was because your friend, Lindir was going.

Not only was he your friend, but he was also the love of your life. He was the one and only elf that you'll love for the rest of your life. And he does not have a clue about the fact that you are in love with him. So of course, you didn't know if he loved you back.

Right now, it was early in the morning, and you found Lindir, sitting by a fountain, singing to himself. His voice was gorgeous, and he was very good at playing the harp. One day, he played his harp for you, and that made you fall for him.

"Good morning, Lindir." you told him. Lindir smiled; his smile was adorable. So adorable, that it makes you smile. A wave of joy flowed over you. "Are you excited for the party tonight? Because I'm a little excited."

"Good morning." he said. "I am excited for the party. For I heard that there will be music and dancing." Lindir loves singing and music, and his name even means "song man" in Sindarin. You hoped that he would dance with you tonight, even if he was only dancing with you as a friend.

Most of your friends already had someone to love. Some of them were even married. You wished that you could be like them. You wished to be able to admit your love to Lindir. But you were far too scared to tell him how you feel. Sure, he was the friendliest elf and if he had to reject you, he'd do it in the kindest way, but that didn't make you any less scared of being turned down by him.

Lindir decided to pat the space next to him so you could sit there. You reluctantly sat down, and then you rested your head on his shoulder. There was some blush on his cheeks. Oh, he was so cute. You couldn't help but be in love with him. After a few moments of hesitation, he put a hand on your hip and blushed even more.

"I love you, Lindir." you sighed. Oh no. Why did you say that? You've been so nervous to tell him how you feel, and then now you just let it out as he holds you gently. But you tried your best to remain calm and appear nonchalant. So, you just stayed in the position you were in, with your heart pounding in your chest.

"Um..." Lindir hesitated and had widened eyes. He was red in the face. "I-I love you, too." Then you two continued to stay in that position for some time, until you realized that it was nearly time for the party.

You ran home to change your outfit. Trying on multiple outfits, you found a really good one that you really liked. Maybe tonight, Lindir would ask you for a dance, and he'll whisper lovely things into your ear. That only seemed to be nothing but a simple daydream.

Finally, it was time for the party. You were very scared. What if Lindir was going to confront you about what you told him earlier today? Part of you wanted to avoid him throughout the party, but another part wanted to follow him and have a wonderful time with him in the party. You decided to listen to the latter.

If you avoided Lindir, you could lose a friendship that you had cherished for many years. Losing your friendship with Lindir would be your worst nightmare. You have been close friends with him since you were pretty young. Meaning that you knew so much about each other.

At the party, you looked around for Lindir. There were so many elves standing around, dancing, or eating. Eventually, you found your friend, and after you called his name, he looked up and down at you with light pink cheeks.

"Y-you look lovely tonight." Lindir told you, looking a little nervous. No matter if he was a bit of a wreck, you still found him so adorable. You loved him, and you always will no matter what. The elf looked towards the table with many platters of food on top of it. "Would you like to eat something with me?" You nodded, taking his arm and walking up to the table.

The two of you ate some bread and a couple of small snacks. As you were trying to eat, Lindir fed you a piece of lettuce. It looked like you two were lovers having a nice time at a party. However, that wasn't true, although you really wanted it to be true.

Soon, you finished eating and pondered about what to do now. Lindir had an idea. "There's beautiful music playing right now. So why don't we share a dance?" This was exactly what you wanted to happen. Your dreams were starting to come true.

You nodded, and then Lindir put one hand on your waist and held your hand with his other one. His touch was soft and he had the most adorable smile on his face. You never knew how good he was at dancing. The way he moved was absolutely perfect.

"Lindir, I never knew that you can dance with such grace!" you exclaimed. You really meant what you said. Lindir was so good at dancing, and he never really showed his skill. "Perhaps we should dance more often."

"Perhaps we should." said Lindir. Then, he leaned in closer to you so he can whisper something in your ear. "You are very beautiful tonight. I swear, you are more beautiful than all of the stars, and you are sweeter than the songs of the elves." This was working out almost the exact way you had imagined it before.

"L-lindir?" you stuttered. "That was very sweet of you. And I believe that you are quite dashing. I mean, I can hardly believe that I am dancing with an elf like you. You're cute, talented, and the best friend."

"I would like you to be able to say something else." Lindir told you, his voice a little flirty. "I love you. And you love me, and know that this is true, for I can tell by the look in your eyes."

Lindir decided to take you to another one of the tables that had some drinks, getting a glass of wine for you and him. He took a small sip from his cup and smirked. This was a side of Lindir that you have never seen in your entire life. This was probably because you have never let the fact that you loved Lindir slip.

After he took a long sip of his wine, he walked up to you and said, "I love you.  And I mean it. Once you told me that you loved me back at the fountain, I could hardly believe that someone like you loves me. So, will you take my hand and be my lover?"

"Of course I will, melamin." you replied. As soon as you said that, you quickly crashed your lips against his. Lindir was at first surprised, but then he melted into the kiss and began to play with your hair.

You felt so happy and loved. And with good reason, because the elf that you have always wanted to call your love had his lips on yours. While you were kissing him, you learned that he was quite a good kisser.

Once the two of you separated, you told Lindir, "Wow, so you are a good singer, dancer, and kisser? It appears to me that I found a good one." Lindir laughed, and then gave you a more elvish embrace, making you do the same.

Thank the Valar that you didn't avoid Lindir, because if you did, none of this would have happened.

Maybe I'll do a Legolas one next since I haven't done one of him in so long.
