Melting hearts
Thranduil was unable to keep the redheaded elf off of his mind. Her face was always on his head as was her voice and all the words she uttered. He was in his large room sitted in a chair in front of a mirroir gently placing his crown over his head. His bedroom had a giant cream coloured bed where he and his wife used to sleep before she was killed. Tauriel was so different from his wife, she was fierce and brave while Legolas mother was sweet and delicate. He had married Elina not for love but because his father had made him, of course he had started caring for her over the time but he never was in love with her and neither was she. As for Tauriel he didn't know what he felt towards her she made him feel alive And young. He understood how his son had fallen In love with her but he couldn't let himself fall for her. Thranduil was concerned about her health she hadn't eaten for several days, she never left her bedroom And she wasn't getting enough sleep. He finished getting ready, left his room And started walking with firm steps towards Tauriel's room. Once he got there he asked the she elf that was guarding her door if Tauriel was already awake. When the elf told him she hadn't slept at all he stormed into her bedroom. He couldn't see her Like This anymore he had to help her. He adresses the she elf.
"Cancel all my meetings from today!"
He softly aproached Tauriel who was in her bed with her back turned to him. She looked terrible her hair was messy, she had bags under her eyes, she was extremely thin And pale. He took her easily In his arms And carried her to her bathroom. Thranduil carefully put Tauriel on the floor while him got the tub full of hot water. He took her off the dress she was wearing to sleep And tossed the dress aside. He looked at her body all the muscle she previously had was gone, instead of it you Could see most of her bones. He took her underwear And put it on the floor. Thranduil took her In his arms again And put her carefully inside the tub. He cleaned her body And washed her hair, the whole time Tauriel was whispering that she was sorry. Sorry for what? He dried her body And hair, dressed her In a simple yet beautiful white dress that fell to her feet. He braided her long auburn hair In a long french braid. She was already Looking cleaner And healthier. Thranduil called for a healer. The healer came And while he examined And treated Tauriel, Thranduil sat there the whole time watching them. The healer gave Tauriel an Elven made medicine that would make her sleep until her body And soul was completely rested. Thranduil took care of her for two weeks almost never leaving her side. He had never done This for anyone And slowly Tauriel's sleeping form was melting his heart And was slowly teaching him how to love And care again. Thranduil was reading by Tauriel's bed when he heard her mumble something. He put his book aside And went to the side of her bed to hold her hand. Tauriel slowly opened her eyes. She was Looking intently at him. She looked more alive than ever And her eyes were shining brightly with what seemed happiness. Tauriel started getting closer to him Like something was pulling her towards him And he also started leaning In she was glancing at his lips while she bit her lower lip. He continued leaning In And brought his hand to her hair to caress it. She looked into his eyes And then back at his lips. They were only inches apart, their noses already touching, Tauriel slowly closed her eyes...
