Legolas/Aragorn - Hold My Hand

Chapter One: Why Your My Best Friend

Legolas was sat by the river of his home village, he was deep in thought. It was early morning and the sun was just starting to rise. He had had a bad nightmare and was trying to make sense of it. It was rare for Legolas to have a bad dream being a elf he was often sound of mind and heart.

He sighed and lay back in soft green grass closing his eyes as he took in the new suns rays. He did not see or hear someone walk up beside him and sit next to him.

"Hello my dear friend, what torubles you on such a fine morning?" Aragorn his best friend asked as he sat beside him and ran a hand through Legolas hair.

"Oh hi there Aragorn, im ok I guess. Just had a bad dream is all. It was a bit strang." he said sitting up and leaned into Aragorns arms.

Aragorn samiled and stroked his hair wrapping his arms round him. "What happened in the dream?" he asked.

Legolas sighed looked down at his hands "Well me and you were sitting in the tea room in my home and I was telling you something very personal but you didn't like it and walked of refusing to talk to me." he said sniffing on the verge of crying. He really hoped that if he did tell Aragorn what was said in the dream that he would accept him. He knew what he said to dream Aragorn was true and knew he could not keep it a secret forever.

Aragorn could see there was something he was hiding and wished that he would tell him. He didn't want his best friend to feel like he would get mad at him and feel as though he had to hide stuff.

Legolas looked up at him into his eyes and took a deep breath. He sat up and turned facing him taking his hands.

Aragorn what i told you in the dream it's all true and ive been holding back through fear of rejection but I just can't keep it in any longer. What i wanted to tell you was...i'm gay and i'm in love with you" he said and bit his lip looking down.

Aragorn was lost for words for a few minutes before he he looked down and smiled at his beautiful friend.

"You need not fear such rejection my dear friend, I no qualms with you being gay." he said and leaned down and kissed the soft pale lips gentle as if he were made of glass.

Aragorn had always had very strong feelings for his elven friend but had not known what to do with them or what they meant until now. He realized that this was what he was feeling and had been for some time.

He deepened the kiss when he heard Legolas moan and bring his arms up round his neck kissing him back.

Legolas moaned and slipped his tong into Aragorns mouth and grinned when he felt him do the same.

Both lay there with each other for a while just kissing and exploring this wonderful new feeling. After about half an hour they sat back and looked out over the lake.

"Come let's go and have breakfast." Aragorn said to him and stood helping Legolas to his feet and walked back up the grassy bank holding his hand.

When they got back to the tea room Legolas chose a nice fruity nectar from the cabinet for them to have with some fruit buns. He set them out on some nice white plates with gold around the edge. He smiled as he sat down with Aragorn and pored him some of the nectar, he took his free hand squeezed it as he sipped the drink.

"Legolas you are so beautiful." Aragorn said with a gentle smile.

Legolas blushed and shook his head "No I'm nothing special." he said.

"Oh yes you are my dear friend, you have such a kind and gentle nature yet such a strong protective will that draws so many in." he said.

Legolas blushed even more his pale cheeks having a red glow made him look so cute. Aragorn loved this and kissed the hand holding his.

"Do you have any work today?" he asked.

"I have to inspect a newly made home for some homeless children to live in but apart from that no I don't" he said.

"Great then we can go to that together and after take a walk through the forest, it is so beautiful this time of the year." he said.
