Summary: Legolas has been trying to let who may be the only love interest of his life see past who she loves and finally notice him. R/R! LG/ÉE

A/N: This is my first songfic - sorry if it's bad! (some of this isn't possible, like a mallorn tree in front of Helm's Deep, but plz ignore that stuff )

~* In the Yard outside Helm's Deep ( After Aragorn Falls off a Cliff Fighting Uruk-Hai ) *~

"I can't believe we left Aragorn there! Not only did we not give him a decent burial, we didn't even try to LOOK for him!" Legolas cried in frustration. He was pacing back and forth in the shade of a mallorn tree, and was causing concern to arise within his friend Gimli.

"It wasn't really our fault, my dear Elf. We had to oblige to King Théoden's orders. Aragorn just. had some bad fall. He'll be okay, I hope." replied the Dwarf.

"I know, but it just doesn't seem right. What if he's out there, injured, in need of aid? I'm going into the fortress to see if I can see him upon his arrival, if any." As the Elf retreated, Gimli sighed in sympathy for his companion.

~* Later, Atop Helm's Deep *~

As Legolas looked out into the surrounding world of the West Emnet, he felt a presence nearby. He turned around, only to find the Lady Éowyn beside him. He had briefly met her days before, but because of the courage and beauty she possessed, his heart soared when she was within sight.

"Hello, Master Elf. Where's Lord Aragorn? I can't find him. Some say he hasn't made it." She laughed softly. " But out of all, he surely was one of the ones who would certainly make it."

"Aragorn - " Legolas couldn't speak. His mouth was dry and he couldn't force his lips to move. Aragorn's death was too difficult to talk about. He reached into his pocket, as if the words would be there, but instead his hand brushed against the Evenstar pendant that Lady Arwen had given Aragorn. The pendant Aragorn always wore around his neck. Legolas remembered taking it from the hands of a dead Orc whom had taken it.

'Éowyn speaks with such affection for Aragorn.' Thought Legolas. 'But he loves another. Why doesn't she see how much I cherish her? Does she only have eyes for Men?'
