I Wish…
Fandom: The Hobbit
Pairing: Thranduil x Reader
Prompt: “I wish we could be more than this.”
It was late and almost everyone else was in bed. Not you. You had made your way quietly into the throne room. When you stepped in the king looked up at you and smiled.
“There you are, my dear,” Thranduil said. He held out his hand to you. You walked over and put your hand in his.
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting,” you said as he kissed your hand ever so tenderly. You smiled sweetly at him and was given a smirk in return before being pulled down onto his lap. You let out a giggle and covered your mouth. Thranduil ran his fingers through your hair.
“Don’t cover up such wonderful sounds my dear,” he said.
“Yes my king,” you said. You glazed at his eyes full of love. He gave you gentle kisses then sighed, resting his forehead upon yours.
“What is wrong?” you asked, playing with his hair.
“I wish we didn’t have to hide. I wish we could be more than this,” he whispered.
“Perhaps someday,” you whispered, “until that day, I have no problem loving you quietly.”
