2 days later*

Legolas has stayed by Tauriel's side every second of the day, just waiting for her to wake up.

Thranduil slowly walks into the room. "Legolas, this is unnatural. You do not need to waste your own life away waiting for Tauriel to wake up." He said sternly. Legolas turned and looked at him, a stubborn look in his eyes.

"I don't care if i die in this chair i will never leave her side i love her and nothing is going to change that!" Legolas said growing louder with each word. Thranduil took a step back a shocked look on his face.

"You were supposed to marry Princess Galandeil from Rivendell!" Thranduil shouted.

"I am not going to marry anyone unless i love them! and i plan on marrying Tauriel once she gets better! I Love her and you are not going to take her away from me!" Legolas said, glaring at his father before turning back around to Tauriel. Thranduil stormed out of the room. Legolas held Tauriel's hand, holding it to his cheek.

"Tauriel… please, just wake up…" Legolas said quietly. suddenly her hand tightened on Legolas's.

"Legolas…?" she said in a soft barely audible voice. her eyes were still closed, but she had regained consciousness.

"Tauriel! Oh you're finally awake!" Legolas said grinning. Tauriel struggled to get her eyes open but finally the world began to focus, she could see Legolas's face next to the bed, there were tear streaks on his face.

"you've been crying?" Tauriel said reaching up to touch the tear stains.

"What!? No…." Legolas tried to wipe away the streaks, to no avail. Tauriel laughed at him. then grabbed her side, with a pained look on her face. "It's not totally healed yet." Legolas informed her. "you need food, so your body will have the strength to heal." Legolas said reaching for a bowl of soup. he carefully propped tauriel up on pillows and handed her the bowl. she took it and instead of using the spoon, drank in. Legolas laughed at her lack of manners. She glanced up from the bowl with a mischievous smile.

" where are your manners young lady! you are in the presence of a prince!" Legolas reprimanded laughing. then to prove his fake point he sat up straight and pretended to be prideful. Tauriel smiled at him, and rolled her eyes. legolas gently tapped the tip of her nose, she responded with a fake snap at him. legolas smiled at her. she returned the smile. Legolas almost leaned in to kiss her but he refrained. she did not know the extent of his feelings yet. he did not want to scare her, he would tell her later, he thought. Tauriel yawned, getting tired from all the *flirting* with Legolas.

"I'll let you rest." Legolas said helping her lie back down.

"Hannon Lle, Mellon Nin" Tauriel said yawning.

"Lle Creoso." Legolas replied, then mumbled to himself "Melin lle."
