When Aragorn and Sam, had been giving Frodo ideas on how to win back Angel's forgiveness, Legolas had hid around the corner outside the room he had previously stomped out of to listen in on the conversation.
If it could work for Angel, would it work for Emily he wondered. He supposed it couldn't hurt to try. Deep down he did feel terrible about the argument they had had before regardless of the fact that couples sometimes argued and it was normal for a relationship. He knew he had taken it much too far by accidently addressing Emily as Tauriel. He hadn't done it on purpose of course and wasn't even sure why he had slipped up like that.
It made him feel even worse when he saw the look of hurt in Emily's eyes and loss of confidence in herself. 'I am not Tauriel, Legolas and I never will be.' Her words rang in his mind.
He sighed heading out to the garden searching out the perfect flower and certainly hoped Elrond and Lindir wouldn't mind if he took one or two as a gift for Emily.
He smiled as he came across a red rose. It was perfect and he was sure Emily would like it.
'Serenade a song or poem to her to express how sorry you truly are.' Legolas remembered Aragorn advising Frodo and Legolas gulped with nervousness.
He had never sang in front of anyone before, at least not since he was little anyway. What if he sounded terrible or worse, couldn't find the right words to tell her? He couldn't bare the thought of not getting Emily to forgive him and that was enough to make him take the time to think over exactly what he was going to say to her as he went to find her.
Unfortunately, he found her much too quickly not giving him at all the time to think it all over as long as he had been hoping.
"What do you want?" She asked him though she did not turn to face him and rather stood with her back to him as she stood on a balcony inside the castle walls, overlooking the beautiful vast landscape around Rivendell.
"To apologize for the other night.." He confessed as he slowly walked towards her.
"There's no need to apologize Legolas. You grew up with her, you loved her, you still love her. Its okay I get it really. Im nothing in comparison to her. I never have been special, not even back home. I was always overlooked for my younger cousin. She was a higher rank than me and more prettier and I accepted that..." Emily confessed. Once again her voice wasn't cold but Legolas felt a painful blow to his heart when he could easily hear the pain in her voice.
"When I came here, I expected no difference but suddenly after meeting Frodo and the others, you, Aragorn, Angel, Gimli, and Gandalf I suddenly felt like I was somebody and perhaps had a chance to be seen outside of everyone's shadows...Try as hard as I could to fight it, I ended up falling for you.
Those days we spent alone from the others, though terrifying, were one of the best days of my life. I got to know the real you and I thought perhaps you had found me when no one else had even bothered to look but-" She sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "I was wrong."
"No. You weren't wrong Emily." He spoke placing one hand gently on her cheek and putting the rose he had picked for her in her hand with his free hand. "You were so stubborn when I first met you and I will admit, I did judge you wrong and gave you a terrible first impression of myself which led to our little feuds. But when we got separated from the others, it was different. We were alone and had no one else to turn to but each other. We shared things of ourselves and for the first time bonded." He told her before leading her back inside the room sitting down on the bed with her. "That night where we laid together for the first time, it was like- I don't know- our bodies and souls were one and the same." He told her.
"And while you fought your feelings for me, I fought mine for you because I wasn't ready to get over Tauriel but even more than that I was bracing myself from the pain of you going back home and I would never see you again. Over time, I grew ill and I pushed you even further away. That night when you bid us all goodbye, I was angry. I didn't want to let you go and I thought maybe if I turned away from it, it may dull the pain a little, but it didn't. For a fortnight, I lay here in Rivendell, slowly dying but all I could think about was how I didn't tell you how I felt and that I would never get the chance too."
He paused for a moment kissing her hand and staring into her eyes. "It's true. I did love Tauriel and I still do but as a friend I miss and failed to protect. You are not her but I am glad you are not."
"Do you really mean that? You're not just saying that because I am carrying your child?" She asked him honestly.
Instead of answering her, he smiled and softly sang the words he finally had summed up the courage to say
"Love-I see forever in your eyes
I can see heaven in your smile
And when I hold you close
I don't wanna let go
Because deep in my soul
I know, girl-
That you are the only light I see
Your love means everything to me
I know that we will never part
'Cause you'll always be near
Here in my hearrrt-
If the sun should refuse to rise
And the moon doesn't hang in the night
The tides won't change
Seasons rearrange
When the world is through-
I will still love you-
Ohh yeah
Still love you baby
'N Girl-you're like an angel from above
Sent in to shower me with your love
Hold me beneath your wings
Tell me all of those things
All the hopes and the dreams-
We can share
'Cause I'll be your shelter from a storm
I'll be the fire that keeps you warm
I'll be your light in the dark
'Cause you'll always be here-in my heart
Oh girl-
If the sun (oh the sun) should refuse to rise
And the moon (ohh) doesn't hang in the night
The tides wont change
Seasons rearrange
When the world is through-
I will still love you
If anything could last forever
It's what Ii feel for you
(That's what I feel for you)
Ooh baby
You touch my heart in ways
That words could never say
That's why I'll always love youuu
If the sun (sun) should refuse to rise
And the moon (oh yeahhh) doesn't hang in the night
The tides won't change
Seasons rearrange
When the world is through-
I will still love you
If the sun (you, you, you, oh yeah) should refuse to rise
And the moon (oo) doesn't hang in the night
The tides wont change (Tides won't change)
Seasons rearrange (Rearrange)
When the world is through-
I will still love youuu
Yes, I will
Love you still baby
I will still love youuu
Girl, believe
You're all I need
I will still love-youuu"
Unlike Angel and Frodo who had spent the rest of the night drunk and making out, Legolas and Emily spent quality time together just talking, cuddling, and enjoying each other's company.
