LOTR AND THE HOBBIT ONE-SHOTS
GLORFINDEL X READER.
SUGGESTED BY: Queen Eradrin
Your childhood was scarred with misery. Not only from those you loved but also from those you despised. Being raised as an orphan, you knew from the beginning nothing would last. Even just the tiny little things that mattered.
Giggling, you sat up, brushing the dust off your brown ragged dress. You were only a young child, a mere 14 human years. Your rosy cheeks were puffed up and your (e/c) eyes shone. Kicking the ground playfully with your bare feet, you ran off into the orphanage.
Orphans were running around, chasing each other, playing, laughing, enjoying their life. You were the quite type and liked to keep things to yourself. It didn't matter if your thoughts would hurt you. You'd keep them inside. They would try to come out but, they never did. You never let em'.
In the distance, a small young elleth was beaming with pride as a young couple took her in their arms smiling down at her lovingly. Although the hint of jealousy tugged at your heart, you didn't let it. You didn't want to become an horrible being. Just like your mother always told you when you were little.
"(y/n) Jealousy does horrible things. Unimaginable things." She would whisper, in your ear, before she was swept away from the horrible fires made by Orcs. You were left alone in the small village of your own, until a old lady took you to the kingdom of Rivendell, where you spent the rest of your life.
You kept walking your bare feet thumping on the hard ground, still glancing back at the couple. You smiled out of happiness for the younger elleth. You continued staring at them, until - bam - You ran into something straight on. Re -collecting yourself you straightened up and craned your neck upwards. A young royal guard stood tall looking down at you with expressionless eyes. He was a teenager to your eyes. Not much older than you. You suddenly opened your mouth bursting with apologies.
"Oh my, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you. You see well, I wasn't looking where I was going and so I bumped straight into you and and and I am so sorry." You continued to blabber on, and didn't notice the blond haired elf smiling down at you. You stopped mid-sentence, noticing how - perfect his smile was. He grinned still silent.
"Sorry." You squeaked, one last time. He nodded and tapped your shoulder.
"It is fine." He muttered. You smiled your eyes crinkling.
"Can I ask what a royal guard is doing in a small orphanage?" You sigh, smiling kindly. He huffed and grinned, ear to ear.
"Lord Elrond asked me to summon young orphans to work for him in his domain." He said, lifting an eyebrow. He then leaned down, his lips grazing your ear.
"Anyone in mind?" He asked, peering at you. You looked deep into your eyes and started fiddling with your hair.
Why is he so handsome?
"Well, there is this one elleth interested." You muttered, kicking the ground with your feet.
"May I know your name?" He asked, still looking at you.
"I'm well known as (y/n)." You squeaked, your confidence all of a sudden gone. You started to mutter random things under your breath.
"Are you doing alright?' He asked, clicking you out of your trance. You nodded and looked away.
"Would you like t come with me, (y/n)?" He asked, holding his hand out. You inhaled deeply and took his hand.
"Gladly." He then swept you away.
After that you were in love. Although, you spent your year wandering the halls of the great kingdom of Rivendell, you never spoke to him. It was because he wandered around with the beauty. He had tried to speak to you once or twice but, you never allowed him to. You always kept in mind what your mother told you.
But, one thing you knew was, you were right to stay away.
Love hurt and you didn't want to get hurt more.
Yes - I know what you're thinking! What is up with my writing? Why is it so depressing? Well - how I write often reflects how I feel. So, that may be one reason! I don't really think there was much fluff in this. I apologize if you don't like it!
Especially you, Eradrin! I solemnly swear to make the next one better!
Thanks for reading it anyway!
