Write a story that have as final message the verses from the poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade: "love is, as it is, love."

One Night

"Have you ever felt a connection with someone? Not in lust or in their image,

But in the richness of their souls and the vibes they give off?"

îmri zaizi

(Take me with you)

She has done everything she could to save him and now the only thing that was left to do was leave him rest. So she would return to her people. Probably they already have noticed that she left and it could cause a lot of problems. She would leave, even if in her heart she wanted to stay.

Tauriel held his hand one last time and started to turn around.

- Wait. – He whispered at the moment that she loses his hand. – I want to talk to someone about… I think I love a girl. – He said in middle of his stupor. Probably he doesn't even know that the person with him was an elf and now she would have to listen he talks about some girlfriend he has at home. – She's… She's totally different from me. – Kili was turning more lucid at each moment. – You could say that she belongs to another folk. But she's so incredible. She's a warrior, a very good and pretty one. And she left me on my knees at the very moment we met, and… since then I cannot think about anything else. And I… I don't know… - Kili seems a little troubled after say those things. – Do you think she could have loved me? Even if I'm a brute and stupid dwarf, when she is the prettier elf that I saw in my life? Do you think…? Even if we never met again? – Tauriel was out of words. It was obvious that he was talking about her. How she was supposed to answer him? Should she say the truth?

- I think… I think that she would be a fool if she doesn't love you back. – Tauriel said swallowing slowed down. Kili smiled.

- I hope she thinks that way too. – His smile turns sad. – I wish that it was not a dream and you were really here with me, Amrâlimê.

- I'm here, Kili. It's real. – Whispered Tauriel as she brings her face down and kissed him on the cheek. His heart starts to bump fast, like drums; and her cheeks went red. Tauriel turns her back at him and gave a step to get out of reach, but he pulled her by the hand.

(And the white light of forever fills the air)

- Don't you dare to run away from me like that after what you've said and done. – He begged her. – You just said that you love me too and now…

- I never said that. – She replied quickly.

- So I must believe that you're a fool? – Tauriel looked at their united hands, reflectively. – I know that you're not a fool. – Kili pressed her hand harder, like it was his last hope.

- Yeah? – She asked with an anger tone. – And what do you think we can do about that, so called, love of ours? Like you said, I'm an elf and you're a dwarf. How do you think that love could exist in our world?

- I don't know and I really don't care. I don't give a shit about the world! I love you and I only care about you. And if you care, even a little about me… Well, the rest is unnecessary. I don't need anyone's approval. – Tauriel gave him a sad smile.

- I can't say the same. We're in the middle of a war and my people, even in peaceful days, would never accept such a thing.

- I don't care. – Answered Kili with anger. – I'll… I'll kidnap you and you'll have no choice but be with me forever. – The elf laughed and Kili wondered if angels laugh that way too.

- Maybe I would like that. – She said still smiling to him.

(Where do you go when you leave me?)

- Really? Let's do it then. – Kili replied starting to get up from de bed, but Tauriel laid a hand over his chest, stopping him.

- Are you nuts? You're under recover. – She said preoccupied.

- Am I? – He asked a little dizzy. – I never felt more alive. – He rested his free hand over hers.

- Maybe you don't need my assistance anymore.

- No! Please, stay! – The swarf begged, really worried that she would leave him. – I'll behave. I promise. Just stay. At least for tonight, let's pretend that the fact that you're an elf and I'm a dwarf, doesn't really matter… Let's pretend that we can be together without disturbs anyone. – Tauriel reflected for a minute and then gave him a little smile.

- Ok. I guess that, only for a night, it will cause no harm. – Kili gave her a bright smile.

- Thank you, Amrâlimê. – He said bringing her hand to his lips and kissing it. – Thank you.

- You're welcome. – Answered her lowering herself again and, this time, giving him a kiss on the lips. A soft and delicate kiss; in a way that only an elf could kiss. Kili managed to correspond her, but the chock was clearly in his face.

- What…?

- I have only one night with you. I must make it worth. – She said with a malicious smile. Kili laughed and brought her lips to his again. She was totally right. They must make that night worth, and for him, since he could be with her, love is, as it is, love.
