Time: Yeah
A/N:…
They walked across the courtyards and stone sidewalks, the music of
many cheerful guests conversing floating across the breeze. Legolas rubbed
his thumb against the fabric of Rachel's immensely long sleeve and heard
the beating drums of Boromir's heart as he thought of things to come. This
night was the evening before their wedding…would Legolas have the guts
to tell Rachel? To ask her?
…He doubted it…
"It's lovely out here," she said, trying to fill the silence. For once,
she wanted words.
Legolas only nodded in response, and stared at the moon. It was so
unpredictable. He couldn't tell anything from its surface. And, with shocked
eyes, he heard the same phrase echo through his mind. Only it was not his
own voice. Glancing at Rachel, he saw her gaze leaned upward as well. She
couldn't have…!
Rachel looked at Legolas with a befuddled air. What was wrong? Was there
something on her face? (A/N: *BOL* MUAWAHAHAHAHA …*ehem* sorry, I had to
give her a shallow moment >D~ Hehe…) His eyes searched her face, her mind.
She could feel him on the brink of her creases and scratched her head as
it began to itch.
In a fit of happiness, Legolas laughed joyously and spun his love around,
smiling as he had never smiled before. Rachel, though very modestly confused,
smiled and laughing smally, not knowing what to make of it.
"Will you marry me?" he said quietly, holding her hands in his and leaning
his forehead against hers, feeling the blush radiate from her cheeks.
"Wha--?"
"Will you marry me?" he interrupted. Rachel scrunched her eyebrows and
then laughed, throwing her arms around Legolas. They hugged happily, swaying
back and forth in excitement.
Rachel felt her eyes become hot and a small wet spot formed on her shoulder under Legolas's cheek. This was…she had known he'd ask eventually, but she never imagined it would be so wonderful to hear him say. Laying her head on his shoulder, she nearly fell asleep, completely and utterly…safe…
