Oneshot: Friends and love
Again set in my fourth ring AU, do read. This is me experimenting with this pairing. Do leave your opinion in the reviews
"Loth?"
"Yes tithen pen?"
"Who is your best friend?"
"Why the question Estel?"
"Just answer, other than me of course."
A smile. "Of course."
A pause. He begins jiggling his leg impatiently.
"Is it Legolas?"
"What makes you say that?" Her tone is slightly teasing.
He replies seriously, "You are happier whenever he comes. Your face looks brighter than the light of all the stars put-together."
A corner of her mouth quirks up. "I suppose he is my closest friend."
"How is it?" A puzzled glance. "How is it to have a best friend?"
"We are best friends Estel."
"I know! Even Legolas is my best friend. To me he is my gwador. Not to you. To you he is something more."
Her face flushes. She denies nothing.
A pause.
"What is it like?"
A sigh. She has given in. "It feels like I am a million leagues above the ground soaring above and he is the earth, steady, always there for me when I need to land and rest." There is a wistful smile on her face. " It feels like warm tea in a blizzard, he is there to remind me of home and also like wild horses running loose in a thunderstorm, he feels like utter freedom." She opens her mouth to say more, then shuts it. "He is coming." Right on cue, Legolas swings the door open.
"Estel!" He smiles merrily at him before turning his gaze and letting it linger there. Estel marvels at the openness of his gaze, a gaze that speaks of complete adoration and love. A gaze that is matched in her eyes.
Estel clears his throat.
"Ah..yes! Elrond wishes to speak to you Estel."
Estel nods. He leaves the room, flashing a grin at her in farewell. After walking down the corridor halfway he hears laughter erupt from the room.
He spoke aloud to himself. "I hope I will find a person who I can love like Legolas loves Alfirin."
BTW Loth is Alfirin's nickname.
Love,
