Part 7

When he came around, the first thing he saw was Legolas' anxious face looking down at him. The first thing he heard was.....

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING YOU STUPID DWARF?! YOU NEARLY SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH!!!!!"

"Really?" He asked hopefully, then thought about what he just said and added, "It was an accident, I didn't mean to scare you, I'm sorry."

Legolas calmed down a bit after that but still carried on fussing over him 'does it hurt?' 'Can you walk?' That kind of thing. Gimli was quite enjoying himself, the elf even offered to carry him.

"No, no, I'm fine, really," he said, getting up and looking around for Haldir, but he wasn't anywhere in sight.

"Where did the snob......I mean Haldir go?"

"Oh him, I don't know, I didn't notice him leave," replied Legolas distractedly, still checking Gimli for injuries. Gimli tried not to look TOO smug.
Back at the ranch.......pavilion, the fellowship watched in amusement while Legolas fussed over Gimli, fluffing his pillows and fetching him anything he asked for.

"Here you must be cold, have my cloak."

"No, that's fine, but I am a bit thirsty though."

"Oh, I'll get you something," with this the elf zoomed off like only an elf can and came back with a tray full of different drinks.

"I didn't know what you would want so I got you everything they had."

"It's all right, I just want some cold water."

"I'll get you some ice cubes," before Gimli could speak, he was gone.

'I could get used to this,' thought the pampered dwarf, sighing in contentment.

After a few more hours of this, Gimli was getting fed up of being asked if he wanted anything every 5 seconds, not to mention just a little guilty.

'The back rub was nice though,' he thought, fingering his newly braided beard.

For the 5th time, Legolas asked him if he wanted a foot rub, he couldn't take it anymore, "why don't you go get my axe so I can chop off that pretty head of yours."

"Ok, I'll just go get it," for the hundredth time Legolas zoomed off.

"Oh Mahal, what have I done?" The dwarf groaned in despair.

Legolas popped up out of nowhere and asked, "Did you say my head was pretty?"

"Uh................no," Gimli replied none too convincingly.

"Oh," he ran off again and returned with Gimli's axe.

Gimli cracked.

"I did it on purpose!!!" He yelled, causing all the birds in the trees to fly away.

Legolas blinked at him for a few seconds and then got just a bit miffed.

"WHAT?!!!" He bellowed, very unelf like, raising the axe. "You mean all this time....." He hissed, unable to finish then stormed off into the trees mumbling something about washing the filth away and finding his dignity.

"You've really done it this time gimpy," sneered Haldir from behind the dwarf, "he'll hate you for the rest of your life, I've always been his favourite, he'll be mine, you'll see, I'll show all of .....," he was interrupted when he walked smack bang into a tree.

He cleared his throat and acted like nothing happened, then walked into the trees after a fuming Legolas.

"I'll get him one of these nights," vowed Gimli under his breath.
The next night the nine walkers were sitting round the table eating their evening meal, Legolas ignoring Gimli's existence, when Haldir came storming in.

"Legolas!! Did you do this?!" The border guard fumed, pointing to his now bright green hair.

Legolas took one look at this and burst out laughing, as did the rest of the fellowship.

"This is no laughing matter, how could you do something like this Legolas?!" He accused.

Legolas stopped laughing when he said this and with a hurt look on his face, asked," you think I did this? I thought you knew me better than that, I thought you cared about me!" While he talked he fiddled with the amulet, which he always kept round his neck.

Haldir started to splutter an apology, Legolas suddenly grinned evilly, while sneaking a glance at Gimli out of the corner of his eye, went over to Haldir and kissed him on the cheek, "That's alright Hal-baby, take me for a walk?" He asked sweetly.

With this he yanked the stunned Haldir's arm around his waist and dragged him along while saying, "Besides you look cute with green hair."

Gimli by this time was nearly smoking at the ears.
Over the next few days, Gimli kept walking in on Haldir and Legolas in.....um......PRIVATE moments.

The first was when he came across them while walking, to find Haldir pinning a giggling Legolas to a tree with his hand up the smaller elf's robe.

The next was when Legolas was bending over to pick a flower when Haldir slapped him on the ass and Legolas groaned and asked him to do it again.

Another time was when Gimli and Legolas were walking and Haldir jumped out of a tree, but this time landed on top of Legolas and they started making out at the dwarf's feet.

After a few days of this Gimli was getting very depressed, that combined with every time Galadriel saw him she covered her hair protectively and ran away, was beginning to get him down.

Legolas noticed this new-depressed state, suddenly feeling very guilty for causing it and went over to sit next to the despondent dwarf. Gimli tried to ignore him, but couldn't help looking at him out of the corner of his eye. He sat hugging his knees much like a child would, chewing his bottom lip.

"Soooo..........nice weather we've been having," said Legolas in a pathetic try of making conversation. Gimli just grunted and went to get up, but then decided it was time he faced this problem.

"Why are you bothering talking to me when you could be off with your wonderful Haldir?" This last bit was said sarcastically.

"He's not wonderful," Legolas tried. Gimli just looked at him as if he had gone mad.

"No, really, he isn't, anyway he's not really my type."

"And what is your type?" Asked Gimli, not expecting an answer.

"You," breathed Legolas, moving closer to him.

"Really?" Asked the dwarf sceptically.

"Really," Legolas replied softly, laying his head on Gimli's broad shoulder and started to nuzzle his neck, purring.

"Uh......what do we do now?"

"This," with this Legolas leaned over and pressed his lips to the dwarf's. Gimli was too shocked to move for a few seconds, then he growled and pulled Legolas down to the ground, turning them over so the elf lay underneath him.
