War of the Sugar Coma
Chapter3: The Romance and the Falling Star
Authoresses' Notes: Lenquo: Just FYI, this chapter is a bit mushy. I promise that there won't be very many of these moments in this fic- Cavca: None in mine, mind you. Lenquo: Anyway, on with the show....
Lenquo's POV...........
I obviously didn't die because I'm still telling this story. I wasn't too terrible at sword fighting, but I knew I had a lot to learn. Rydki had me pinned against a tree with his sword to my neck. If we'd really been fighting, I would have been dead. He backed away and just left without a word. Part of me was sad to see him go, but most of me was glad he didn't slit my throat.
After Rydki left, Arwen and I stuck around talking.
"I've never seen Master Khillhach act that way. He always is polite and helpful. He never just leaves like that," Arwen said as she watched him walk away. "I think he likes you."
"WHAT?!" I was certain now that she was on crack. "He doesn't even know me."
"Okay, but I bet you he does."
"Whatever."
We continued to argue all the way back to Rivendell. When we got back, Arwen ran off to change before Elrond saw her. I stood on a balcony and looked at the sky. It was the first time I'd acknowledged the night. I just had realized that I'd been here for 2 days.
For the first time, I started to wonder how I got here. I thought about Cassie. Was she here? Or were she and my mom back home freaking out that I won't wake up? Was all this real? Or am I dreaming? All I know is that if this is a dream, I never wanna wake up.
"What are you thinking about?" Rydki asked leaning on the balcony rail beside me.
"Nothing."
"Oh." He stared at the stars. Out of the blue, he asked the weirdest question. "Do you ever think about true love?"
"Huh? Well, yeah, sometimes."
"Have you found him yet?"
"My true love?" Something inside me hurt. I didn't know why, but my heart ached. "I think I have. What about you?"
"Yeah, but I don't think she likes me."
"Well if she doesn't, she's insane."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because you're kind, sweet, hott, and you have eyes the color of honey sparkling in the midday sun." I have NO idea where I got any of that. I just spat it out. I hoped he wouldn't think I was weird. "I'm sorry, that was rude of me. I shouldn't have-"
I got cut off by the most wonderful thing I'd ever experienced, my first kiss. My heart fluttered and my brain stopped. It seemed like an eternity had passed but still, there we were. A moment later, he broke the kiss.
"I'm sorry," he said, blushing. "I shouldn't have been so informal."
"No." Something in my head just clicked. "I like you, Rydki. And I'm glad you like me, too."
"But we've only just met and I-"
"Shut up. Just accept the fact that you have to deal with me more often now." I hugged him. Suddenly, however, I felt a wave of sleepiness wash over me. "I'm going to bed, now. G'night."
I walked to the room Arwen had said was mine the day before and collapsed on my bed, instantly asleep............
Cavca's POV..........
That night, before slipping back into Bag End, I sat in a tree house at the end of Bagshot Row. I was stargazing. I was about to head in, when I saw a shooting star.
"I wish Sam was looking at these same stars." I figured that it'd never work, but I wanted to try. I snuck into BagEnd without notice. As I was falling asleep, I realized that I still hadn't met Frodo. Oh well, I was bound to meet him at the Long Awaited Party..........
