Gimli yawned as he watched the sleeping elf. He had been sitting by the bed for hours now, knowing that if he went to sleep Legolas would be gone when he awoke. ‘Crazy elf,’ he thought while trying to get more comfortable. ‘Doesn’t even know enough to take care of himself.’ He sighed and leaned closer to the bed, pushing Legolas’ hair out of his face.

He moved away when he heard someone tap quietly on the door, not wanting anyone to see how worried he was. He stood and quickly walked to the door, opening it and letting Aragorn in.

Aragorn smiled when he saw Legolas; the elf looked like a child beneath all those blankets. “How long has he been asleep, Gimli?” he asked, whispering.

“Three hours,” Gimli answered, glancing over at the bed. “Is there something you need, Aragorn?”

Aragorn nodded, frowning. “I was going to examine him before I went to bed,” he said, turning back towards the door, “but seeing as he’s finally asleep, I think I’ll wait until morning.”

Gimli nodded and followed Aragorn. He was about to close the door when Aragorn turned back and looked at him. “You’d better get some sleep yourself, Gimli. He’s not going anywhere.” He smirked, glancing over at the sleeping elf. “If he even tries to leave this room, there are five guards between here and the gardens.”

Gimli chuckled, shaking his head. “And I suppose you ordered them to return him to his room if they see him.”

Aragorn nodded, laughing. “You know me too well, my friend,” he said, looking back at Gimli. “Are you going to get some sleep?”

Gimli frowned and shook his head. “I think I’ll stay and keep an eye on him. Someone has to take care of him since he won’t.”

Aragorn studied him for a moment before nng. ng. “Very well. Good night.”

“Good night,” Gimli said, closing the door. He turned and walked over to the bed, glaring at the hard wooden chair. He glanced at the bed, then back at the chair. If what Aragorn had said was true, and there wererds rds that would watch for Legolas, then he could get some sleep. But he couldn’t sleep in that uncomfortable chair. He yawn and looked back at the bed, shrugging. ‘It’s not like we’ve never shared a bed before,’ he thought, pulling off his boots and crawling under the covers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gimli blinked and tried to stretch as he woke up, failing when he realized something was on top of him. ‘What?’ he thought, tiredly. He lifted his head and looked down, smiling when he saw that Legolas was using him as a pillow.

He rested his head back on the pillow, hugging the elf closer even before he realized that sometime during the night, he had wrapped his arms around Legolas. Gimli sighed and closed his eyes, waiting for the elf to wake up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was just ten minutes later when Gimli felt Legolas start to wake. The elf sighed, moving closer to Gimli, and opened his eyes.

Legolas stayed still for a moment, trying to remember where he was. He relaxed when he recognized the body he was up against and looked up, blinking. “Gimli?”

Gimli smiled and pushed the elf’s hair behind a pointed ear. “Yes, Legolas?”

Legolas frowned, looking confused. “What happened?” he asked, yawning, before burying his face in the dwarf’s beard.

“You fainted in the garden, remember?”

Legolas shivered and tried to move even closer to Gimli’s warm body. Gimli frowned. ‘He can’t be cold, can he?’ He reached down and grabbed the blanket, pulling it up egolegolas’ neck. He tucked the blanket around the elf before wrapping his arms around Legolas, fully aware that Legolas was not about to give up his pillow anytime soon.
