When I watched Legolas and Arwen take Lindir and Tauriel's hands, I wanted Tauriel to pull my runestone out of her pocket and smash it on the ground.
She did not. No surprise there.
When they kissed, I could not contain myself and I decided to lash out at the other elves around me, taking my sword and stabbing everybody, knowing that no harm would be inflicted. I was going through the crowd, stabbing everyone, and when I reached the foot of the steps, I hesitated for a moment, letting Arwen crash down the stairs into Aragorn. Then I ran up the stairs, my eyes narrowing as I thrust my sword through Tauriel's heart. I wrenched it out of her heart quickly, floating up to the stars once again, twirling with my arms out, pretending to be Smaug.
"Why'd you kill the bride?"
I spun around, and almost ran into a girl. She was tall, with pointed ears. Not again.
It was an elf.
She was dressed in a silver-green dress that touched the ground. Her brown hair was unknotted, plain with no braids in it, so you could see its length, falling to her hips. I looked up into her silver eyes, and my eyes widened.
Now that I was looking at her, I realized how beautiful she was. "Because I loved her once." I replied simply, laughing when I realized that I was talking to an elf. I hadn't laughed in a long time either.
She laughed along with me, staring down at the wedding below and the newly married couple as they went to their new room. "I would have killed Lindir but I don't have a weapon. And he never really loved me. I loved him the one time that I saw him. I bumped into him and he kissed my hand." I raised my eyebrows. "Well, I told Tauriel that there could be anything in my trousers."
She laughed again, a light sound. "I guess that we're together here, and now that we're letting go, we should go to see our families." She said. "Letting go?" I asked. Then I realized what I was doing. Flirting with an elf. "Oh, I'm letting go." I said, and then I reached up on my tiptoes and kissed her roughly.
She kissed me back, laughing as we drifted to our families.
We appeared in the middle of my family's living room, still kissing.
Thorin cleared his throat, and I blushed.
"Mae Govannen, I'm Lessil." Was all the elf said, and I realized something.
I had an awful lot of explaining to do.
