• Who said “I love you” first

to be honest i like to imagine they don’t even remember or care and just turn it into another thing to argue over.  

“Nay, lad, it was me that said it first.  You remember, I said it–”

“If you did it was in a language I could not understand and therefore should not count!  I quite clearly recall it was me who–”

• Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background

They both do.  My god, these two will FOREVER be that couple.  They have each other’s pictures on their phones, and on their desks, and in their wallets, and everyone is like fuck we get it guys you’re in love, holy shit.

• Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror

Legolas, the cheeky little shit, and he always does it up high and waaaay out of Gimli’s reach.

• Who buys the other cheesy gifts

Definitely Gimli, though they’re also rather meaningful and Legolas treasures them immensely.  After all one day they’ll be all he has left of him.

• Who initiated the first kiss

Another point of contention.  Legolas claims he was leaning down anyway, and Gimli says it was he who grew tired of the waffling and dragged Legolas down.

• Who kisses the other awake in the morning

Legolas.  After the sun rises he leans over Gimli, entrapping him in a fall of smooth golden elf-hair and kisses his brow, his eyelids, his nose, the apples of his cheeks, the corners of his mouth…

• Who starts tickle fights

The first time it happened, Gimli dug his fingers into Legolas’ side during a wander through Lothlorien.  The fact that Legolas made a sound like a startled cat meant he kept doing it.

• Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower

“Bath?”

“You comin’ or not?”

Enough said.

• Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch

Pfft, I imagine they both like to spring cultural foods on each other at odd times, just for their own amusement.

• Who was nervous and shy on the first date

I’m pretty sure they were too busy slaughtering orcs to be nervous or shy.

• Who kills/takes out the spiders

Legolas, but only because Gimli would never deny him the satisfaction.

• Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk

Gimli.  

“All of Erebor heard you, please get down off the table lad.”
