Hello o3o
I am new to this site, as you may or may not be able to figure out... I don't know; haven't done much yet.
All of this is introductory stuff so if you just feel like scrolling to skip all of this rambling, feel free.
So yeah, it's a story about Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn in a rock band. A simple prompt credited to my younger brother, but carried out by me (obviously).
Legolas is the bassist (there was some pretty big debate among my friends and family about what he should be. But I mean, Legolas makes the cutest bassist)... And the lead singer.
Aragorn plays guitar. He sings as well.
And Gimli plays drums.
There is a not so original oc. Her name is Morwen. She plays with the band a good portion of the time too; she enjoys singing and playing guitar.
I hadn't really thought about it until now, but I'm guessing this would be an au... But a description of it would be kind of hard...? I'll shut up now so you can (or cannot) enjoy my story.
Though it'd be nice if you did enjoy it. ^^'
Legolas wiped the sweat from his brow, and pulled at his collar. It was hard, performing. The bass was fun; quiet and in the background. Though, he wasn't sure why he liked such an overlooked instrument, for he was the lead singer. Girls melted at the sound of his voice. Not that he particularly cared; he had Morwen.
Sometimes Morwen played with them, accompanying Aragorn on guitar. She enjoyed blending her voice with Legolas', and competing with Aragorn's. He enjoyed the challenge and often matched her in guitar battles. Fans enjoyed Morwen's fierce competitiveness, but also, her loyal and loving attitude.
Legolas ran his long fingers down the neck of his bass, the thick, metallic, strings feeling cool underneath. It felt nice, under the hot stage lights. It was a rather large show, even if it was not close to a sell out. The band usually played smaller shows, normally overlooked by a good majority of people. Legolas wasn't sure how they'd manage to get this far, but it didn't matter. He was having too much fun.
Morwen stood backstage, tuning her shiny, black, Godin guitar, and absentmindedly ran through the scales over and over again. Tonight she was only playing about half the show, but you never know what the encore could bring. She rocked back and forth to the sweet sound of Legolas' voice, as he sang a slow, angst-filled song; something they didn't play often, but one of her favorites. It'd been a year since they'd been together, and the smallest things still pleased her the most, time after time.
"Morwen!" She was pulled out of her thoughts but the sound of his voice calling to her offstage.
"What?" She called, before realizing that she missed her cue to come on. She could hear the audience laughing as she stumbled awkwardly onto the stage, embarrassed. The dwarf was grumbling... Though he always had something to complain about, and Aragorn held in his laughter. She took her place on stage, opposite Legolas. Slowly, the next song started, and she quickly forgot her embarrassment.
It seemed like the concert lasted a lifetime, and yet, only mere seconds. Spotted stumbled off stage and collapsed. "Ahh that was so fun. I so kicked your ass, Aragorn." She sighed, lying on the cold, tile floor, sweat dripping off of her. "So... Tired."
Gimli chuckled. "You weren't even on half the time."
Aragorn looked at the younger girl lying on the ground. "We have another concert two days from now."
Morwen's eyes grew wide as she sat up. "Two days?! What idiot designed this tour?!"
"You."
"Crap." She muttered, flopping back on the ground. "I'm not going to survive this tour."
Legolas kneeled beside her and pushed a loose strand of hair away from her face. "There's only two more shows."
"I'll think about it." She said stubbornly.
A few hours, and they were sleeping not so silently in their beds. All except for Legolas. He sat quietly in the corner, practicing an unfamiliar riff. "Maybe this will go better than before." He grinned, gaining some confidence. "Yes." He nodded. "I will not fail this time. Not like tonight."
