"Aragorn can I talk to you please" Legolas said standing up from the dining table and walking across to Aragorn who was by Arwen side. "Of course" Aragorn replied guiding Legolas over to a quiet spot in the corner so nobody could interrupt them. "So my friend what did you want to talk about?" Aragorn asked Legolas. "I wanted to talk about Gimli's outburst at breakfast, do not get me wrong my friend I am thankful he did it but I don't know it seemed as if something is wrong and I don't know what to do about it Aragorn!" Legolas exclaimed looking at Aragorn for help. "Maybe Gimli is jealous" Aragorn said in a calm and collected ton, "wh-what" Legolas stuttered, Gimli jealous if it was true would that mean Gimli felt the same way, and that he did in fact like Legolas, Legolas heart did a little flip of joy at the thought but reality dawn on him, of course Gimli wasn't jealous he just didn't want to see that at the dinner table so he spoke out about it nothing more nothing less Legolas thought to himself looking at the floor. He raised his head to look at Aragorn again and then spoke "don't be ridiculous Aragorn." And with that he walked off up the stairs to his and Gimli room leaving Aragon in the corner alone.
Legolas burst into the room only met by a bewilder look from Gimli as the elf pushed through the door shutting it rather loudly and waltzing over to his bed and sitting down. Gimli didn't speak just looked at Legolas; he was still token back by the normally peaceful elf's entrance into the room they shared. They sat in silence for what felt like forever in till a nose was heard from Gimli as he got up and made his way to the bathroom *CRASH* Legolas herd a nose from the bathroom and instantly got up and made his way there to see Gimli head in his hands curled up on the floor, Legolas was quickly at his side putting an arm around Gimli, "are you okay what happened?" Legolas asked looking at Gimli with intensity, "Nothing I just fell I'm fine really" Gimli said trying to hide his face so Legolas didn't see the tears welling up in his eyes. Legolas looked at Gimli forehead to see a small cut that had blood trickling out of it, "Gimli" Legolas said in a strong voice "Gimli let me look... Gimli remove your hands from your face so I can see your face properly." Legolas insisted, but the stubborn dwarf shook his head trying and failing to turn away from Legolas, "no its fine, I'm fine just leave" Gimli said wincing from the pain tears falling from his eyes, he normally didn't cry but he had just fallen on a concrete bathroom floor head first.
With more coxing from Legolas, Gimli removed his hands a little so Legolas could get a better look. Without realising Legolas took hold of Gimli hands with one of his moving them away from his face. Legolas saw that Gimli was crying he was a little shocked at first he had never seen Gimli cry before. Legolas lifted his hand to Gimli face and wiped the tears away with his thumb, all the while Gimli was staring at him, Legolas did not dare look at Gimli in the eye instead he focused on the cut on his forehead and the massive burse around it.
Legolas tore himself away from Gimli, returning with a piece of cloth socked in water. Legolas began to clean Gimli wound on his head being gentle so he didn't cause his friend anymore pain. Gimli winced and couple times but was glad Legolas was there. When Legolas was done he stood and offered a hand to Gimli who at first was unsteady on his feet and nearly fell over again but luckily Legolas caught him. "Gimli maybe you should lie down, the hit to your head has made you drowsy" Legolas said holding Gimli up, "maybe that is a good idea" Gimli answered he was feeling rather sleepy, Legolas helped Gimli to the bed, he got into the bed and got himself conferrable. Gimli was having trouble keeping his eyes open but before he fell to sleep he whispered to Legolas in a small voice "thank you" and then slowly closed his eyes.
Legolas walked over to Gimli, who was now asleep in bed, he bent down and placed a kiss on Gimli head, where he had hurt himself earlier then turn off the lights and exited the room, quietly closing the door getting one last look on the sleeping dwarf before disappearing down the hallway.
