Author's note- I didn't come up with Legolas but Ithilwen is my own
character. I don't have anything to do with Lord of the Rings or Tolkien.

Ithilwen woke to see Legolas standing next to her bed holding a tray. He set the tray on the bedside table and sat on the side of her bed.
"Good morning." he whispered. "Would you like some warm oatmeal?" She sat up and yawned.
"You bet!" she answered her eyes twinkling.
Ithlilwen and Legolas had been best friends for many years and were both currently living in Mirkwood, in the halls of King Thranduil.
Legolas set the tray down on the bed and moved onto the bed. He watched as Ithlilwen ate and thought about their past together. They had had so much fun together since they had met each other at the young age of 108. They had been inseparable, and still were. Currently though he had been feeling different about their relationship. He didn't think that he loved her, although if she felt more for him it could quickly develop into something. He just cared for her more than a regular friend would. The again he told himself, they were anything but regular friends.
Feeling his stare Ithilwen looked up to find him watching her. "Mani naa ta?"(What is it?) she asked.
"Nothing." he answered "Just lost in thought." She laughed and shook her head. He was always doing that. They were complete opposites; people would never expect them to be friends. Where she was impulsive and outgoing, he was calm and a little shy. "So how's breakfast?" he asked.
"Great! What are we doing today?"
"I thought we could go for a horseback ride." he grinned impishly. Ithilwen loved riding horses; it was her favorite thing to do, so Legolas wasn't surprised when she immediately said yes.
They agreed to meet at the stables in half an hour. Ithlilwen was already there grooming her horse when Legolas arrived. He grabbed a brush and went to his horse's stall across from her horse's stall. When they were done brushing them they led the horses out of there stalls.
"Where should we go today?" he asked.
"Let's ride north along the Forest River."
"North it is." They mounted on there horses and trotted out into the forest.
After an hour they stopped beside a pool in the river. They set up their lunch on the bank while dangling their legs in the water. Their laughter filled the clearing. She was one of the only people that could make him laugh. He started as he realized she had asked him a question.
"Mani naa ta?" (What is it?) She inquired.
"Lle lalaith vanima." (Your laughter is beautiful.) He whispered.
"What?" She gave him a funny look. "Who are talking to?" she laughed again. "You are funny."
Legolas was mortified. 'Did I really say that out loud?' he wondered. Then he realized that she had already moved on to the next topic of discussion.
That night Legolas lay awake on his bed. "What was I thinking?" he wondered. "How could I be so unthinking? Doamin naa lost!" he got up off his bed and for the first time in over in a thousand years Legolas began to pace.
