Chapter Text
Sweet Greenwood tree smells invade your nostrils as much as nature's breeze hits your skin.
Orange leaves fall from the tree making an orange carpet for the elves who walk by.
"Autumn," you muttered to yourself.
It is always one of the best seasons that you always look forward to aside from spring of course. It is still your favorite season after all.
Peaceful and silent. That is how you explain autumn not until-
"Ada I got the twigs!" You heard Legolas yell from running from tree after tree to collect twigs.
You are not certain on what they are really up to but all you know--is to wait for the finished result.
"I also got the wild berries and some flowers Ionneg(Son) now let us assemble it. I do not want your naneth to think that we are just playing." Thranduil said while staring at you from afar. He knows well that once you are too silent from the rest of the morning, that means you have a serious day.
And that day is, unfortunately, this day.
Thranduil knows how you admire autumn not only for its beauty but for its peace as well.
He remembers that every fall you are always silent to admire it, embrace it and embark it to one of your memory trees.
But since you have a son together. It is really hard for you to find peace of mind and enjoy the scenery because Legolas always run back and forth from tree to tree.
One time you remembered Thranduil calling Legolas a horse because he has too much-running energy.
Now intrigue. You watched the two from your table to their sitting position under the tree. Them facing the bushes and you facing their backs.
"Honestly Valar, What are they up to?" You mumbled to yourself when you noticed that both of them began to remain silent. No one dares to move or dare to speak.
As if they are now dealing with a serious matter.
So you decided to stand up and walk to them when both of them said.
"Stay there Naneth!"
"Stay there Meleth!"
"O-okay." You said awestruck when they both said that at the same time.
They are the copy of each other.
Several minutes later, you noticed that Legolas stands up and run towards you.
"What is the matter little leaf? Did your Ada scold you?" You said in a worried tone, and you noticed two sets of ocean eyes staring at you from afar when you mention "scold" and you gave him a wink as an apology but he squinted his eyes as he continued his "secret" business.
Legolas shake his head and gave you a flower.
A wildflower, but you did not know what it is called since it is your first time seeing it.
"It is for your nana and ada said you like flowers that is why I picked them for you," Legolas said smiling proudly.
"Do you like it?" Legolas asked you.
"Of course little leaf, it came from you and I must cherish it." You said while smiling and picking him up to let him put the flower in your elven ear.
Minutes later, You and Legolas started to play until Thranduil stand up and made you two stopped on what you're doing.
"Is it done ada?" Legolas asked and you can read the excitement from his face.
"Yes, ionneg," Thranduil said while patting his robe to remove the autumn leaves that stick with it.
"Can I see it now?" Legolas asked his father once again and right after that Thranduil began to walk to both of you.
Legolas is obviously, the most excited one here.
Legolas then reached for his hand and Thranduil put a small crown made out of twigs, wild berries, and flowers.
"So that is you both are up to earlier?" You said while shaking your head in disbelief.
Once Thranduil placed the crown properly to Legolas' small head, Thranduil came up to you.
"This one is special because it is for my queen", Thranduil placed the crown that he made for you.
And surprisingly, the crown fitted your head.
"It fits." You said to him while smiling.
"Of course." He said smiling at you.
Now you reached for his other hand that holds the last crown.
His crown.
You reached for it and placed it in his head and Legolas seemed to be enjoying the view.
"We all have crowns!" Legolas said gleefully climbing to his father's legs whilst you hold his tiny head because his crown might prick Thranduil's legs.
"Why did you make them pointy? Are we going to kill anybody with it? I hope not." You said to Thranduil while laughing.
"Well, I just want them to see how scary our family is that no one would dare to lay their hands even on our single strand of hair." Thranduil chuckled as Legolas continued to wrap around his father's legs.
Thranduil grabbed your hand entwining your both fingers together as you walk back to the castle.
Legolas is in the middle of you two, still running up his business.
While walking Thranduil grabbed you and gave you a passionate kiss that lasted for a minute because…
"Why did we stop ada?" Legolas said having no idea what is going on up there because of their clothing.
Both of you chuckled whilst the confused elfling still do not understand what is going on.
