Disclaimer - I do not own lord of the rings or any of the characters other than Lea and her family, I promise I don't mean to do anything wrong it's my first fanfiction !

I rated the story M to be safe , later chapters will tell I guess .


"Lea calm down before I call reinforcements ... Are you breathing ... Le look at me," Rumil grinned holding the young female wardens face between his hands before checking her pulse.

Lea stood bolt upright from the chair knocking him to the floor, he lay still giggling behind his hands which he was hiding behind. "stop joking ! Just attempt to be serious for once Rumil, I'm going to need those reinforcements but I know I'm breathing I'm hyperventilating you infuriating Ellon !"

...

Once Lea began to calm down Rumil managed to get the full story, after he apologised for tickling her the first time she attempted to explain. Her nana was coming to visit, not such a big issue, or so he thought.

...

" I don't think that I can do this, I haven't seen my nana in three centuries, since I came to lothlorien. When I lived with her I could see the disappointment every time she looked at me, I swear it. My sisters could do no wrong, neither could my brothers, even my father got away with more than me ! I left imladris because I didn't want to be the oldest daughter, the one that should be married already, the one that should have given me grandchildren already" Lea stressed , ending the rant with a voice that did sound like her mother, strangely like her own but to her ears more sinister .

Rumil, shockingly, remained silent, albeit with a smirk on his face, he had a plan and he would not fail. "Le you are no disappointment, you are betrothed to the most sought after elf in lothlorien who you will soon marry and have children with and..."

Lea cut him off " what are you talking about?" She asked weariness evident in her voice.

Rumil answered cheerful " you and I can say that we are betrothed !"

"No we cannot !" Seemingly outraged at the idea then adding "You are just a warden my nana only accepts the best, to impress her I would have to be betrothed to ... to"

" Haldir " Orophin finished for her allowing himself into her talan. Rumil grinned, Lea felt her cheeks redden and the queasy feeling, that had been hovering at the back of her mind since she heard of her mothers upcoming arrival, suddenly became more apparent.

"No" she said simply, the blush on her cheeks steadily reddening. Rumil and Orophin winked at each other, this was going to be fun.

...

"No." Haldir answered, his face expressionless even after two bottles of wine. His brothers had almost dragged him to Orophin's talan, where they proceeded to beg him to take the starring role in the ridiculous plan to pass him off as Lea's lover. In truth it didn't sound too far fetched, but he wasn't going to let his brothers win that easily.

"Why ? We want a good answer and then we'll leave, won't we Orophin ?" Rumil asked attempting to sound serious, but failing, miserably. Orophin nodded slowly seemingly waking from a trance, the drink was going to his head, and Rumil's but Haldir seemed unfazed.

... Three hours of Rumil and Orophin begging and seven bottles later ...

"Fine." Still not allowing infamous self control to slip. "I'll do it, but Lea will never agree little brothers."

Rumil's smile grew, finally they'd worn Haldir down. At the words little brothers Orophin swung his arm dumbly in Haldir's direction attempting to hit hit him, instead he and Rumil ended up sprawling to the floor. Haldir simply stood and left, snoring could be heard by the time he closed the door. That was how Lea found them the next morning.

...

Retreating from Orophin's talan Lea went to fetch freezing water, she already knew what they had done. Thankfully she liked the brothers, otherwise the female would do more than give them a rude, and icy, awakening. The two had been there for her since she came to Lorien, mentored her and helped her become the elleth she was now, a warden of the golden wood. They even helped her gain a sense of humour, although the constant pranks did occasionally go too far. No longer confined she truly did blossom away from imladris "mother wouldn't agree!" she thought to herself.

...

Silently creeping back into Orophins talan Lea was sad to find the brothers already awake, if you can call groaning and lying perfectly still being awake.

"Nice try !" Rumil grinned, before falling uncharacteristically quiet once more.

"Shh!" Was the only reply from Orophin who now sat huddled into an armchair .

Lea decided to leave them to suffer, they deserved it! "Although, the idea is begging to grow on me, this is Haldir of Lorien nana, my husband to be." she giggled, actually giggled even Lea could not believe the sound she had just produced, "valar, help me," she silently plead, before she bumped directly into the muscled chest of the one and only Haldir "great!" she visibly cringed "and it begins..."
