Prom - Maedhros x Reader

"I got the Noldor. And you?" you replied.

"I got the Númenor. I suppose I can ask Aragorn for some help, since he's a direct descendant of the high Númenoreans." Aragorn was Arwen's boyfriend. "Um... so are you considering Maedhros as a prom date?"

You shrugged. "Maybe. I mean, I sort of find him good looking."

"That's why your face was almost as red as his hair!" Arwen exclaimed. "You have a little crush on him." You shook your head and denied the fact that you had some feelings for him. "Don't lie. I know you're at least developing a crush on him." Once again, you denied.

"I just find him attractive. That doesn't mean anything." you explained.

"You'll see..." said Arwen. "You'll see."

In your second period, which was Ms. Finarfiniel's science class, you thought about Maedhros and the project. And also the upcoming prom. You and your assigned partner needed to plan a lot more, and you hoped to do it during lunch.

Since you were slightly excited for lunch, time seemed to go by slowly. Ms. Finarfiniel's class seemed to go slowly. Mr. Galadhonion's art class also went slowly. It was in Mr. Finrod Finarfinion's music class when lunch finally came. The teacher sent everyone in class to the cafeteria.

Arwen found you and asked where you were going to sit. You said that you were going to find Maedhros in order to talk to him about the project. She told you that she was going to assist you. Since the lunchroom wasn't quite full yet, you swiftly noticed his red hair nearby.

Taking Arwen's arm, you pulled her towards Maedhros. He noticed the two of you approaching and smiled. You and Arwen sat in front of Maedhros, meaning that you sat faced the redhead and Arwen faced a person with long, brown hair.

"I obviously haven't introduced you to my friend over here. Maedhros patted his friend's shoulder. He was the young man who sat facing Arwen. "He's Fingon. My best friend through thick and thin." You greeted Fingon and looked at your best friend.

"This is Arwen." you said. Maedhros greeted her. "Now, do you two mind if we talk to each other? It's important." Arwen and Fingon shook their heads. Then, they began talking to one another.

You told your redhead friend that you probably needed to work together on the project after school. He agreed.

"In whose home should we work on it, then?" you asked.

"I don't suggest mine." Maedhros chuckled softly. "I've got six brothers, each one with a fiery personality."

"Oh wow." You giggled. "Let's go to my house and work on our assignment there. Hopefully, nobody will bother us." Your friend nodded and took a bite out of the sandwich he was having for lunch. You began to eat your lunch as you continued to speak to Maedhros.

Your new friend had to leave the lunchroom with Fingon as his teacher came to pick up his class. Soon, Mr. Finarfinion came to pick you and the rest of his class up.

After school, you tried to find Maedhros. He leaned against the doorframe of the school's front doors. You took his hand and took him to your home.

The two of you worked on the project in your home and got lots of planning done. And not only did you get work done, a bond began to form between you and Maedhros.

"So..." you began. "You told me that your brothers have fiery personality. Please tell me more about that."

Maedhros nodded. "Some of them are worse than the others. But, I must be honest, I have a fiery personality, too." he admitted. "I do hope that it won't get in the way of our friendship."

"I think it won't."

For the next few weeks, you and Maedhros worked on the project. During that time, you realized that you had a huge crush on Maedhros. Hanging out with him all the time made you sort of attached to him. Prom was only in a few days and you now wanted him to ask you out.

Today, he did not seem to ask you to prom. You were a little disappointed, but there's always tomorrow. Well, you thought Maedhros was not going to ask today, until he walked up to you after the final bell for the day rung.

"Um..." he paused. "I need to ask you something."

"What is it?" you asked, knowing that it was most likely a question about the project. "Is it about the project? I already printed out the essay and it's kinda ready to be turned in."

"My question isn't about the project." Maedhros replied. "I was just wondering... will you go to prom with me?"

"Oh, erm," you hesitated. "absolutely! I will!" Maedhros laughed and roughly pulled you in for a long hug. He was so glad that you said yes. You could not wait to attend prom with him.

When the day finally came, you heard a knock on your door during the evening. You opened the door, and it was Maedhros, with a nice tuxedo on, and his hair was clean and tidy. He also smelled good.

"Wow." you heard Maedhros whisper. "You look amazing."

Blush came on your cheeks. "Thank you. And you don't look so bad yourself." You chuckled and your date playfully smacked your arm. He loved to tease you, but never to the point where you got hurt, even on his worst days.

Right now, you were elated. There was nothing to worry about; your project was turned in, and the two of you agreed that it was good. All you thought about at the moment was Maedhros and prom. You couldn't wait to dance with him.

During prom, you saw Arwen dancing with Aragorn, Sam with Rosie, Elladan and Elrohir causing mischief, Mr. Eärendilion looking at his children (Arwen, Elladan, and Elrohir) with misty eyes, Frodo, Merry, and Pippin doing some chicken dance, Erestor chasing Glorfindel, who had a book in his hands, and many more sights.

Soon, it was time for the coronation of the prom king and queen. Arwen and Aragorn had won, and you cheered loudly for the two. A slow song came on for them to dance; Maedhros placed a hand on your waist and the other on your shoulder and he began to dance with you. You had your arms around his neck.

"You're so short." Maedhros teased. He was very tall, so of course you were shorter than him. "But I still like you a lot."

"Then how's the weather up there?" you joked.

"Very fine, thank you." Maedhros smirked. You burst into a fit of laughter, making him laugh. This night was incredibly fun. It was one of the best nights of your life.

The tall young man pulled you closer to him. He gave you a hug and would not let go. His body felt a bit warm and you were comfortable.

(Time skip brought to you by Maedhros and Fingon's friendship)

Many years after that prom, you felt something cold touching your skin. You woke up in your room with sunlight streaming in from the curtained windows. Looking behind you, you saw that the cold thing touching you was your now husband, Maedhros.

His torso touched your back, and his pale arms were around you. You felt his slow breaths, as his chest rose and fell. After turning yourself to see Maedhros' face, you saw his eyes gently open.

"Good morning, my angel." Maedhros whispered in your ear.

"Good morning, sweetheart." you murmured. Your husband planted a kiss on your forehead.

"I love you." he said.

"I love you too." you replied.

That's it for now! I know this was so long, I didn't mean for it to be almost 2,000 words, but I kept on writing for hours and I ended up writing quite a lot.

Novaer, mellyn nin!
