Hey everyone! Here is a oneshot I wrote. It's a tenth walker AU and Legolas will probably seem quite OOC. Sorry about is not my best piece of work but enjoy anyways!

He hadn't meant to see her. He really hadn't.
They had been in Lothlorien for over a week and they were beginning to realize they would have to leave in a few days. Legolas wanted to spend some time alone with the trees so he wandered away from the populated area of the woods. When he had heard to soft singing he had had to follow it. He needed to see who could sing so beautifully.
He entered a clearing and that's when she came into view. Aria. His jaw dropped unceremoniously but he couldn't help himself. She was in a crystal pool surrounded by some bushes, her back to him. Her bare back.
Her hair cascaded down her shoulders in golden waves, flowers delicately braided in. All he could see was her shoulders and thank goodness for that or he might've done something that he would regret later. Just then she used her dainty fingers to move all her hair to once side, exposing her pale but perfect back, neck and collarbone completely. Her skin looked so soft and her lips even more so as she turned her head a bit. Legolas's breathing hitched slightly. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Sure he had found her pretty before but now...now she was breathtaking.
She suddenly stood and thankfully the bushes covered everything that needed to be covered from the angle in which he was watching her from. She grabbed the simple dress that was laying on one of the plants and pulled it over her head, careful to keep the bottom of the skirt out of the water. She then stepped out of the pool and he caught a glimpse of her legs. Her slender, smooth legs. He knew then that he would have to leave before she saw him and before he did anything.
For the rest of the day and many days later all he could think about was Aria. He would feel his knees grow weak at the sight of her smile and he constantly caught himself staring at her. It would get worse when night came. He didn't need rest and the moonlight made her radiant.
Finally one night he couldn't take it anymore. It was her watch. He stood from the ground he was supposed to be sleeping on and made his way to her, careful not to disturb the others.
"Hello," she said softly with a smile when he reached her.
"Aria," he said seriously.
"Yes?" Her brows frowned slightly.
"I'm going to kiss you," he said before leaning over and capturing her mouth in his. She gasped slightly before relaxing and returning the kiss.
And in that moment, everything was perfect.
Love it? Hate it? PLEASE REVIEW! It would mean a lot. I know its not that great but hopefully you enjoyed it anyways or maybe my writing is bad enough that at least you got a laugh out of it. Either way, tell me what you think!
Thanks,
