Disclaimer: I don't own anyone, anything, anyplace, or anything else you
might come across in this fanfic. Sorry to burst your bubble if you
thought I did.
A/N: This is Eowyn/LEGOLAS if you don't like Eowyn/LEGOLAS stay away. Be warned.
*~*~*~*~*~* Twilight is upon Meduseld. He was waiting at the window when she walked up. Legolas looks out at the land as she creeps up behind him. She's been wondering if elves could sense when people were sneaking up on them. His ears catch her footsteps before she gets very far, though.
"Eowyn," he says, scaring her half to death. "Legolas," she says, as she comes up next to him. He makes no action to say or do whatever he had called her up here for, just looked out onto the darkening twilight.
Eowyn waits there, making no move to say anything, until suspense almost had killed her.
"Legolas?"
"Yes?"
"Why did you wish to speak to me?"
He took a deep breath. "I'm leaving tomorrow," he began, "And before I leave I wish to tell you something. It might not be easy for you to hear, but I must tell you."
She nods.
"Go ahead," she says.
Again, he took a deep breath, and began to speak.
"You know that Aragorn's heart is given away to another. You've known that for a while. Yet you still love him. But my heart is also given away. And it's not a very good situation. You see, she will not love me. She loves another. And I was wondering, since you love Aragorn, what you might do in my situation, since you are in practically the same one."
She thinks for a while. "I would probably tell them, if I had courage for that. I have courage enough to wield a blade, to ride into battle, to die in battle, yet somehow I cannot find enough courage to put my feelings into words."
"He knows you love him though,"
"I know that. I just wish I could tell him in my own words."
"So you would tell the one you love, if you had the courage?"
"Yes," she says.
"Then I suppose I must tell you," he says, then looks directly into her eyes.
"I love you."
Her eyes go wide. She sits on the windowsill. She takes in a deep gulp of air.
"Eowyn?" he questions.
"You're right," she says, after awhile. "That was a lot to hear."
He kind of half smiles.
"Look, Legolas, you're a great friend, but I really.don't know how to react to this. I don't know what my feelings are anymore. I can't answer you. Not right now."
He nods. "I am riding off tomorrow. You don't have to answer until we meet again. After the war is over, give me your answer."
She nods, then runs off down the corridor. *~*~*~*~
Ok.it's a bit short.but o well.
Rosie Cotton: I have read ALL 3 books 3 times (and I'm reading it right now for the 4th time). *exhales* I know you mean no offence, and I mean no offence either. Now that that's out. I know in the book Eowyn and Faramir end up together. I haven't said who is going to end up together in this one yet.
