Chapter Text
Legolas was studying a small yet plump pumpkin when the sound of near by grunts startled him enough to glance up searching for the sound. A few feet away he could see what seemed to be a large pumpkin the size of a large foot stool rising from the ground on its own but upon getting closer he could see boots just below the pumpkin and two hands barely wrapped around the monster of a pumpkin. Legolas quickly rushed over worried that a young child was trying to lift a pumpkin without their parents help. Legolas fought back his gasp when instead of seeing a child behind the pumpkin he saw a young man, a short man but a man none the less.
" excuse me sir, i couldn't help but notice your struggle and was wondering if i could be of any help? " Legolas asked politely.
The man huffed and sat the large pumpkin and looked up at Legolas mouth open and ready to reply only to stop cold when their eyes met. Legolas felt himself freeze as well, the man was very short, coming up only to his shoulder, but he was beautiful. He had long hair as red as fire that fell down his back in a braided pony tail and eyes as green as grass. Legolas wasn't sure what to say to break the spell that had fallen over them, luckily the other man snapped out of it to reply.
" I can left it on my own but i would not mind a helping hand. " , The man said with a grin.
Legolas felt his heart thud, the mans voice was gruff enough to cut stone and Legolas longed to hear it again. Legolas smiled as he bent to lift the pumpkin, it was a bit heavier then he had expected but he followed the man to his truck without to much trouble. The other man paid a near by sales boy and then turned to Legolas with a sheepish smile.
" Thank you for the help. is there anything i can do in return? " The man asked.
" Actually there is, could i get your name and number? maybe we could go out sometime? " Legolas replied with as much confidence as he could.
The man blushed and seemed to pause before saying , " Gimli, and if you hand me your phone i can program my number in. ".
Legolas smiled and handed Gimli his phone, moments later he was staring at the new contact with a smile.
