assistant (Lindir x reader)

Three days. Three days of non stop work. From sun up to long after the sun had set you’d helped Lindir with his tasks. You’d then continued on after he’d gone home. You hadn’t told him that though, you just knew there was a lot more on his plate than he liked to admit and you wanted to ease that as much as possible. Lindir on the other hand, was currently trying not to rip his hair out. It had been a curious day. “Y/n, where did I put the documents for…” he stoped speaking when you held them out. “I-thank you…” you’d also taken the time to sort out everything.

You nodded and turned back to what you were doing. You were exhausted.

“Y/n, have you seen my…pen…” he smiled as you handed him the pen and ink. He took the two and turned back to what he was doing. “I have to run these things to lord Elrond, I’ll be back soon.”

“Alright.” You said, pouring over a document.

As soon as Lindir had left and the door was closed you sunk to the floor, pulling your knees to your chest and hiding your face in your hands. You were exhausted but he needed your help.

You allowed yourself a few moments to relax before forcing your exhausted body back on its feet. You leaned over the document once more just as Lindir opened the door. He looked terrible. You sighed. “Lindir…sir, why don’t you take a few moments and sit?” You asked gently.

Lindir nodded and collapsed into a chair. You ran off and returned a few moments later with some tea. “Here, drink this and relax, you need it.”

He nodded and took the tea.

“I finished going through the documents and sorted them accordingly.” You said, moving a pile of papers to a shelf. “I also signed what I could. These few things need your signature,” you said, setting them on his desk. “Is there anything else you would like me to do?” You asked. “Perhaps go through the documents for our alliance with Mirkwood?”

Lindir nodded as he sipped the tea you’d given him. “Yes that would be nice,” he said, trying to hide his shock. You’d been working for hours and didn’t seem exhausted at all. How were you still going with all the stress of every day life and this work on top of it?

You pulled out the papers for Mirkwood and began to read through them. When you looked back over Lindir was asleep in the chair.

You smiled softly and grabbed a blanket to cover him with. The poor thing was exhausted. You placed a soft kiss on his temple, finished with the papers and then headed to the library knowing there was much work needed to be done there.

You walked down to the library and began to put the books back on the shelves, the task was simple but time consuming, and Lindir didn’t need another time consuming task.

-.-.-

You jumped when you felt a hand on your shoulder. You turned to see Lindir. “Y/n did you sleep at all last night?”

You hesitated before shaking you head.

He sighed. “You haven’t slept in two days!”

“That you know of…” you muttered.

“What was that?”

“Nothing…”

“Did you say that I know of?”

You sighed and nodded.

“Y/n, get some rest! Please!” Lindir begged.

“Why? You have work to do that’s piled to the ceiling! You can’t do it all on your own!”

He gently took your hand.

“We’re already behind…” you whispered.

Lindir sighed and nodded. “You’re right, we need to keep going. But if you need to rest just tell me, ok?”

You nodded.

Lindir smiled and helped you with the last few things in the library. “Thank you y/n…”

You smiled. “Of corse.”

“No really, I mean it, thank you.”

You smiled. “It’s nothing really.”

“It’s not nothing! It means a lot to me, thank you.” He said, hands gently taking yours. His eyes met yours and you could see the sincerity in them. You blushed slightly and looked away. You didn’t want him to know how you felt about him. You couldn’t let that get in the way of your work.

You slowly pulled your hands away and busied yourself with anything you could find. Suddenly, pain shot through your body. You clenched your teeth and placed a hand over your side. This pain was something you were used to. It was common. So were your migraines. You slowly slid agents the end of a bookcase and to the floor.

You felt a hand on your shoulder and looked up to see Lindir. Worry was written across your face. “Are you alright?” He asked.

You nodded.

“What happened?” He asked.

You quickly thought up a lie. “Just got dizzy. I probably just need some water…”

Lindir nodded and pulled you to your feet. You tried to ignore the pain in your body as he led you over to a chair.

You nodded and sat down on the chair, stars of pain blurring your vision. You haven’t told anyone about the pain since your parents. And of corse they thought you sounded crazy and were dramatic.

Lindir brushed a stray peace of hair out of your face. “Wait here, I’ll go get you some water.”

You smiled softly and nodded. You watched as he walked off to get you some water. You then felt the pain surge and you saw stars once more before you passed out from the pain, falling limp on the soft chair.

Lindir returned with a glass in his hand. “Y/n I got you that… water…” he paused and smiled. “I knew you were tired.” He whispered, gently placing the glass down before pushing your hair from your face. His expression fell when he saw the pain etched on your face. He then noticed the sweat rolling down your face. “Y/n?” He shook you slightly and you didn’t respond.

Lindir began to panic before he lifted you out of the chair and took you to the healing halls, fear in his eyes.

When Lindir arrived in the healing halls lord Elrond was there with Glorfindil, who had a few minor injuries from a run in with orcs.

The two looked over when Lindir came in with your limp body, pain etched onto your usually calm face. “I don’t know what’s wrong but she’s in a lot of pain.” Lindir said.

Elrond pointed to a bed. “Lay her there.” He said as he walked over. “Let me see her.”

Lindir gently lay your limp body on the bed. Lord Elrond gently looked over your body. “There are no wounds that I can see but…”

“My lord,” Glorfindil began, “perhaps she has the same pain syndromes that I did for years.”

Lindir looked over at Glorfindil. “What do you mean?”

“My body proceed pain wrong for years, amplifying it and making it much worse than it would naturally be. If so she needs much more time for healing and more sleep.”

Lindir looked over at you as you winced in your sleep. “Perhaps…but that wouldn’t make sense as to why she’d push herself to work for days without sleep.”

Both Elrond and Glorfindil looked over at Lindir. “Days?” Elrond asked.

Lindir nodded. “She hasn’t slept in two days at lest that I know of. She may have been awake longer than that.”

-.-.-

When you woke you were in your own bed but something was different. You looked around and noticed that Lindir was sitting in a chair next to you, a book in his hands.

You slowly sat up and Lindir looked up. “Your awake…”

You nodded, rubbing your eyes. “I am…”

“How are you feeling?”

“Like I slept way too long… there’s still much to be done, I know that much, do you need me to-” Lindir cut you off.

“I need you to rest, heal, take some time for yourself you deserve it. Especially after overworking yourself like you have.”

You shook your head. “I’ve gotten too much rest as it is, what else can I do for-”

Lindir pushed you to lay back down. “Rest y/n please you’re worrying me.”

You sighed but complied. Mostly. “I could at least go through some documents for you couldn’t I?”

Lindir sighed and shook his head. “No I need you to rest, please.”

You sighed at his request. “I’m not helpless you know I can take care of myself, I know when I need to rest and when I’ve had…enough…” you paused as Lindir’s expression changed. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

He sat on the edge of your bed. There was something in his eyes you couldn’t seem to read. “Lindir?”

He gently cupped your chin before leaning down and placing his lips on your forehead. “Rest, please. You need it…”

You didn’t answer instead you were just a blushing mess.

Lindir smiled and leaned down again this time going to capture your lips. Your eyes widened before you put your arms around his neck and accepted his kiss, pulling him closer. You never imagined, even in your sweetest dreams, that you would be able to kiss the one who had stole your heart so long ago.

When Lindir pulled back from the kiss you looked at him with pink cheeks and a soft smile. “Lindir…” you mumbled, pulling him closer so you could hug him. “Thank you…”

“For what?”

You kissed his cheek again. “Everything…”

Lindir smiled and hugged you back. “I love you…” he mumbled as you hid your face in his shoulder and took in his scent. Lindir smelled like old books and leather along with whatever cologne he was wearing. That smelled amazing too. You took another deep breath. You liked that cologne a lot.

You parted from the hug and placed your lips back on his. “I love you too.” You mumbled as he held you close. “I always will.”
