The Lord and Lady
Chapter 1
Lord Celeborn smiled to himself as he watched Galadriel brush her long tresses. They had been mated for many centuries and his love for her had not diminished at all in that time. He tried to imagine what life had been like before Galadriel had come into it, least to say it was rather dull before she showed up. Not that his life was extremely interesting now, but Galadriel gave purpose to his life.
She was his other half. Only an elf could truly understand how important that was to find. Lady Galadriel looked to see Celeborn watching. She smiled and turned to him, "Would you like me to brush your hair as well?" she teasingly asked. As Celeborn walked over Galadriel couldn't help but smile. The Valar had blessed her with a wonderful husband. She loved him dearly and wondered how she would survive if anything ever happened to him. She quickly pushed the thought from her mind and made room for Celeborn to sit.
Celeborn sat down and Galadriel started to brush his hair, laughing slightly as she did so. She felt rather silly brushing her husband's hair but was glad to see that Celeborn seemed to be enjoying himself. Giggling like a young elf maiden, Galadriel stopped brushing his hair and turned and left the room. Celeborn turned to look at her, somewhat puzzled on why she left, but shrugged and went over to a desk covered with papers. Sitting down he started to review some of the letters he had received.
He was starting to read a letter he had received from Lord Elrond, when Galadriel re appeared with something behind her back. Looking at her from the corner of his eye he wondered what she was up to but continued reading. He felt her arms wrap around him and she gently kissed the top of his head. Turning to look at her, Galadriel planted a firm kiss on his lips. Slightly startled, he looked at her. "What are you up to?" he asked her.
Galadriel smiled and kissed him again. "Will you do something for me my love?" she asked. Celeborn nodded. How could he refuse when she looked at him like that? Galadriel laughed and took him over in front of a mirror and sat him down. She went over and grabbed the basket that she had been hiding behind her when she walked in the room. She brought it over, set it down and took out some flowers. Celeborn looked at her. "What are you going to do?" he asked. Looking at him Galadriel said, "I need to see how these will look if I decide to wear them." Sighing Celeborn said, "Why don't you just try them on yourself instead of me?" "Because it is much more fun to test it on you first," Galadriel replied.
