Pairing: Legolas/Gimli
Warning: Mild slash, shameless sap, micro-fic
Author's Note: One day, after browsing through the books, I suddenly realized that I was crazy about this pairing. Seriously, I liked it already, but the obsession just struck me all of the sudden. Please don't kill me if the fic isn't as wonderful as the pairing is.

Summary: "Gimli finds Legolas very confusing."

Eye Catching

In Gimli's eyes, Legolas wasn't always beautiful.. he was too tall, too slender, too fair, too fine for his tastes. And not just because he had been taught to be wary of elves, since it took longer for him to understand why other elves, men and even the hobbits found Legolas so attractive than to befriend the archer.

Legolas, however, was quicker to change his mind, and Gimli often found Legolas gazing at him with fascination in his dark eyes. And while Gimli didn't mind it, for he was considered handsome in the eyes of most women of his kind, he was still confused because elves were known to admire things completely unlike him.

"Oh Gimli", said Legolas when Gimli finally asked him about it, smiling to him in a way so affectionate that it made Gimli want to blush, something he avoided doing in precence of both friends and enemies. "Don't you know that love has no eyes?"

And they kissed for the first time.

Soon after that, Legolas was the only beautiful one in his eyes. But yet, it wasn't Legolas's face he loved. It was his heart.
