The Ballad of Gimli and Legolas
Gimli and Legolas had rented a small cottage near the edge of Mordor. Why had they done it? Because family and friends aren't accustomed to male loving. Because family and friends couldn't understand or do new things. But then again, Gimli and Legolas are not alone, traveling along with them are Merry and Pippin. They had not enough money to rent a cottage, but will build one for themselves. It is a dark and dreary night as the travelers make way for Mordor.
As the group travels, Merry hears a sound. Trembling, he quickly grabs Pippins hand whispering, "Awfully dark, is it not? I really don't feel quite good... hold me my dearest." Pippin grabs Merry's hand harder, not out of love but out of fear. Ever since they set out there had been someone breathing heavily upon him and he being too scared to take a peek, did not know that it was simply Legolas. Furthermore, ever since Frodo left, Pippin had immediately slept with Aragorn and he fears that Merry might find out.
Pippin gathered himself and gave a quiet chuckle at the thought of Merry figuring something out. "What's wrong?" asked Legolas. "Oh nothing just a funny thought." Legolas had gained a hint of paranoia recently. Everyone seemed to talk about him. Feeling very uncomfortable, Legolas ran ahead to "scout" the area. As soon as Legolas had gained about half a mile on them he sat down to rest and reminisce.
Where was I? Oh, yes... I remember now... Aragorn... Everything hasn't been going well... and now Aragorn... Why had he hit on me?... He knew that I'm in love with Gimli... yet... now I wonder... What had I missed? Nonsense Aragorn would never had truly loved me... but then again... Gimli...
As Gimli, Merry, and Pippin walked along... Gimli had started getting lonely. He had Merry and Pippin there but they were too absorbed in themselves for any talk to really be going on. "Where the hell is Legolas? I swear these damn elves can't stay in a solid relationship. Always running off..." Not surprisingly Pippin and Merry paid no attention. Merry felt like he had a lot of guts and was finally a leader for holding Pippin's hand, and Pippin still felt someone breathing on his back, although Legolas was gone. Ever since his incident with Aragorn, Pippin couldn't keep his mind off Aragorn...
"There was no denying it... I really am attracted to Aragorn... I'm attracted to him... more than I am with Gimli... I can't deny it anymore... and yet again... I don't know what to do..." Legolas yawned. Tired of all this pondering, Legolas, got up to rejoin with his loved ones and break the news to Gimli when someone knocked him out...
