A/Ns: My best friend is here for a visit!! All the way from Israel!! I am so happy!!

And in other news, I haven't had school all week. That's why you're reading this. I got tired of looking at my preciousss and I can't go sledding because the snow's too focking deep. o.O

Haldir is mine! Well no not really. It'd be nice if he was, but sadly if I wanted him I'd have to fly to New Zealand and kidnap Craig Parker. LOTR is Tolkien's. *pulls out a live sheep and stuffs it into the small Tolkien shrine in her closet* (Sacrifice to his greatness) ^^.... Dinuial is mine. I made her. Mwa hahaha!

Enjoy.

~:*:~

Dinuial blinked a few times before her eyes fluttered open completely. She yawned, rubbed her eyes and shifted slightly. It was now sometime during the night and the rain had was still falling, though less heavily than before. She shifted her legs a bit and closed her eyes once more. When she tried to roll over, however, she found that she was laying on top of someone else. Her eyes immediately shot open and she looked up. She gasped, her eyes meeting Haldir's.

"What are you doing here?!" she asked in shock. "And what are you doing here?"

"I'm here because you got lost in the rain." Haldir replied with a smirk. "And I'm here because you passed out and I sat down and then you just climbed on top of me. And I couldn't move so I just adjusted myself so that I was comfortable."

Dinuial's eyes widened and she tried to sit up, but Haldir pulled her back down.

"Will you let me up?" she demanded curtly. Haldir shook his head.

"You can't get up unless I were to get up," he answered with a gleam of mischief in his eyes, "because if you tried, you'd either hurt me, fall off the couch, or cause both of us to fall off. And if my thinking is correct, I'd land on top of you, and I wouldn't want to hurt you or cause you to do something un-lady like, if you take my meaning of course."

Dinuial glared at him furiously. "Well then I command that you get up because I am in no mood to fall off any couch!"

"I don't take commands from anyone but my Lord and Lady." Haldir said calmly. "And I should hope that you are neither."

Dinuial groaned angrily. "What you're doing could qualify as sexual harassment!" she snarled.

"I could say the same of you, milady!" he shot back. "Do you honestly think I wanted you to unconsciously climb on top of me? While one could argue that maybe I didn't mind at the time, I do now. To be honest, I'm not comfortable with having a very whiny and demanding, yet attractive, woman laying on top of me."

"Well if you don't want to be in this position, then let me up!"

"I mind not being comfortable, but maybe I'm thinking it's worth it right now!"

Dinuial opened her mouth to say something but shut it quickly. She looked up at Haldir and raised an eyebrow.

"Did you say you thought I was attractive?" she asked quietly. Haldir nodded and absentmindedly fingered with a lock of her still damp hair. Dinuial looked down and sighed.

"Do you not think of me in the same way?" Haldir asked, sitting up.

"Well, it's just-"

Don't look at him, Dinuial thought, trying not to look at Haldir. Don't look at him....

"What is it milady?" Haldir whispered, pulling Dinuial's hair back behind her ears.

"Nothing." Dinuial replied shakily.

"Why won't you look at me, Dinuial? My gaze will not turn you to stone."

"No, I suppose not." Dinuial replied, glancing back at him.

Dammit!

"Then there's nothing to be afraid of, is there?" Haldir asked softly, leaning in towards Dinuial's face. Dinuial instantly turned bright pink, but noticing he was off-guard, she pulled away from him and stood up. Haldir immediately looked up at her and frowned. "Dinuial?"

Dinuial didn't reply. She turned away from Haldir and started off towards her room. Once she got there, she walked out onto her small balcony and looked out into the forest around her. The rain sprinkled onto her gently, but she paid it no heed.

"You did it again, Dinuial." she murmured to herself. "Why won't you just let him kiss you and get it over with? Why-"

"By the way," Haldir called, following her. "Since you were soaking wet and nearly frozen, I had to change your clothes. I hope you don't mind."

Dinuial looked at him and turned pink again. She looked down at her dress, which was made of a red and black translucent, satin-like material. It was sleeveless and was also very low cut. Upon noticing this, Dinuial immediately crossed her arms over her chest. Haldir smirked.

"There's really nothing left for you to hide, you know." he commented as he walked up and stood right next to her on the balcony. "And you certainly have nothing to be ashamed of."

Before he knew what had hit him, Dinuial slapped Haldir across the face angrily.

"That was uncalled for!" she exclaimed with a glare. "And you knew it too!"

"Now was that really necessary?" Haldir replied, rubbing his cheek with his hand. "I was complementing you. My, my.... I see now that your bite is indeed as unpleasant as your bark."

"I want you to leave." Dinuial demanded. "Right now."

"Of course you do." Haldir said, seemingly ignoring her. "Even though you really want me to stay so you can thank me for saving you."

"I will thank you in no such way, you arrogant, self-centered bastard!"

Haldir laughed. "That's a new one." he mused. "But alas, milady, you were offended for the wrong reason. You took my meaning in the wrong context."

"I did not and you know-" Dinuial was abruptly cut off as Haldir grabbed her, bent her over, and kissed her passionately. Dinuial's eyes widened, and she felt like pushing him off of her and slapping him again. But when she tried to, she found it too difficult to resist Haldir. Se knew she had enough physical strength to shove him over the balcony if she wanted, but she couldn't bring herself to run away from him. Then it dawned her that she might actually want to be caught up in this passionate embrace.

Haldir smiled to himself as he felt Dinuial wrap her arms around his neck and start to kiss him back. To his surprise, she also straightened up and pushed him against the doors leading back inside. Haldir was actually taken off-guard by this, but admitted that he did not mind in the least. Dinuial let out a soft mewl and pulled Haldir closer to her, as if trying to shield him from the rain falling around them. Haldir was somewhat amazed that Dinuial was acting in the manner that she was, for he'd thought of her to be more of the type that would let him lead these situations.

When Dinuial finally managed to pull herself away, she looked up at Haldir and smiled. She then turned and rested her hands upon the railing and looked out over the forest, letting the gentle raindrops cool off her somewhat heated skin. She also refused to let Haldir see that she was quite dizzy and vulnerable to other, more serious situations if kissed again.

"Thank you." she said softly, looking back at him for a moment.

"For what?" Haldir asked, walking up behind her.

"For the best damn kiss I've had in a thousand years....." Dinuial replied faintly.

"You are most welcome." Haldir replied with a grin, wrapping his arms around Dinuial's waist and resting his chin on her shoulder.

A/Ns: The dress Dinuial is wearing I see looking like the purple-blue one Arwen is wearing in The Two Towers during one of Aragorn's flashback scenes. You know, "Go to sleep." "I am asleep. This is a dream." "Then it is a good dream." You know, that scene. I love that scene. *melts into a puddle of sap* Ah, I'm such a hopeless romantic.

Blade: Hmm, I don't know if elves say 'dammit'. Well whatever. They do now. ^.^ Or at least Dinuial does. You know me. I like the make my O/Cs swear. Lol I'm sure Prince Leggy swears ALL the time whenever.... well yeah.

The rest of you: How was the end? Was it not gushy mushy romantically enough? Or was it too over the top? Personally I think it could use some sex but that's just my mind. Can't be rushing things now. o.O Haldir can't get too much action all at once. Nopers. It'd be unfair to me, who gets no action at all. Ever.

That reminds me, I've decided that Legolas "In-the-name-of-diplomacy-I'm-going-to-look-at-some-stupid-caves-with-Gimli" Greenleaf is gay. So he and Frodo can go be gay lovers. *shrugs* Or him and Gimli. Wow that put nasty thoughts in my head. Like you know, one's all short and the other's all tall. Oh Jesus that sounded so wrong....

*Ahem* Well, I need to go. Give us the preciousss reviewses please?

P.S. Gollum is my bitch and Sméagol is my ho. ^^ Bwa hahaha. No. Don't ask.
