Pairing: Aragorn/Legolas
Rating: R for language
Summary/Notes: Legolas is totally OOC,though it's not exactly AU. Just
to warn you. The fellowship is having a hard time with spoiled prince
Legolas. Could Aragorn change him?

Frodo had arrived in Rivendell. His head was aching since he had been
attacked by the Dark Rider. All his body ached and he needed to rest.
He had awaken some hours before and talked to Gandalf. He was
so worried about the wizard! As he hadn't show up at the Prancing Pony,
Frodo started to imagine that some horrible things had happened. Actually,
Frodo was starting to get very afraid because of the ring.
The One Ring.
It made him feel shivers down his spine. Why?,was the question he asked
himself. Why him? Why did he have to carry that burden? He felt very
afraid and although he had his hobbit friends Sam,Merry and Pippin with
him he couldn't feel well.
Trying not to think anymore,Frodo tried to get some sleep again.
---
"He is sleeping again.",said Gandalf,closing the door of the room Frodo
rested.
"Thanks Valar.",Elrond answered."He came here with a serious injury. He
needs these sleeping hours."
"Poor Frodo.",said Gandalf,concerned. "He is so innocent. So...young."
"If it is his fate,what can we do?",asked Elrond. "Fate is always right,
my old friend."
"I know. But I wished it wasn't Frodo to be the ringbearer. You know I
have an affection for him."
"I know. But as I told you,Gandalf,the ring cannot stay here. Maybe after
the council we can decide who is the one who will carry the ring. It
must be destroyed,there's no way out of this."
"I know,but I hope it's not Frodo.",said Gandalf. "Hope he can go back
to the Shire safely."
"The council will be tomorrow,Gandalf. I suggest you get some sleep."
"I will. Who is coming tomorrow?"
"Well,the dwarves will be here,'though some of them had claimed they
wanted this meeting to be at their land. Gimli son of Gloin will be here
as well as Boromir,from Gondor. And representants of Men and Elves."
"What about that elven prince you wanted to tell me about?"
"Legolas Greenleaf!",Elrond's eyes were wide with terror and anger.
"I had forgotten him. Gandalf,I was with this problem on my mind
since earlier. Do you know Legolas?"
"I believe I have heard this name,but I don't know him in person. Isn't
he from Mirkwood?"
"Yes,he is. He's a young elven prince from Mirkwood,and he's so very
much spoiled and egocentric! The last thing I wanted was him in this
council! He will do no good for our quest. I could bet that if he put
his hands on the ring he would use it only for destruction."
"Elrond,give the young one a chance. Maybe he's just spoiled,not evil.
You know how young ones are. Besides,there are older Men and Dwarves and
Elves who can teach him something."
"You may be right Gandalf,but I don't trust him! He's coming just because
of his status. He had to come!"
"Wait,my friend. Wait and we shall see if your feelings are right."
"What more can I do except for wait?"

In the morning before the council,all the dwarves,elves and men who had
been invited were already in Rivendell. They talked nervously. The tension
was in the air. They had to decide who would be the ringbearer,and this
very thought sent shivers down the spines of each one of them.
Also,another discussion was taking place. Legolas Greenleaf,the spoiled
prince. His selfishness was known for all the races,men,dwarves and
especially elves,who didn't trust him. People were talking about the elf,
showing unsatisfaction that he would come to the council.
"Did you see? Legolas Greenleaf will be here as well."
"Oh really? I can't believe it! Elrond shouldn't have...",and it went on.
When Legolas finally arrived,the council was about to begin. He took
his seat and didn't realize that people were talking about him.
The council had begun and they were discussing who could
take the ring to be destroyed,as that it was the only thing to be done.
"I cannot see it in the hands of an elf!",exclaimed Gimli,the dwarf.
"And you think *you* could do better?",Legolas asked enraged.
Aragorn,the ranger and heir of Isildur,who had arrived in Rivendell along
with Frodo and his hobbit friends,just listened and sighed. It was so
boring,this old matters between dwarves and elves.
"You are so self-absorbed. You shouldn't be here! ",claimed Gimli while
talking to Legolas.
"And you are a stupid dwarf,do I need to say anything more?"
Aragorn sighed and looked to Boromir,who was at his side. Boromir asked:
"Is it him?"
"Who?",Aragorn didn't understand.
"The elven prince,Legolas. Everyone was talking that he shouldn't have
come. That he is unbereable and likes to give orders to people."
"Oh yes,it is him.",spoke Aragorn. "But I should advise you Boromir,
don't trust anything people tell you before seeing it with your eyes."
"Well,the elf *is* arrogant. Very much."
"May be. Just don't repeat anything people say as it was always the truth."
Boromir shrugged. Elrond spoke:
"I believe that keep quarreling won't take us anywhere we would like."
"Then who is going to take the ring to Mordor?",asked Legolas. " *I*
should be the one to take it,as I'm well-prepared and self-confident."
Before anyone could lose control,Elrond spoke:
"Perhaps not,young Legolas. At least not you alone. I think we should
choose the ringbearer and people who could help him.",Elrond said,praying
that Legolas wasn't included.
"Do you mean a fellowship?",asked Gimli.
"Yes."
Silence. And then Frodo said:
"I will take the ring to Mordor."
Gandalf closed his eyes. "Oh no.",he thought. But was the first to offer
his help to Frodo.
"You won't be alone,Frodo Baggins."
"You have my sword.",Aragorn kneeled in front of the little one.
"And my bow.",said Legolas. "Though I think I should be the bearer."
"And you have my axe,Frodo Baggins.",said Gimli. "Shut up,your...elf."
"Mr. Frodo is not going anywhere without me.",Samwise Gamgee,one of the
hobbit friends of Frodo,showed up. With him,Merry,Pippin and Boromir
joined the fellowship.
"Well.",said Elrond. "As Frodo was the ringbearer since he left the
Shire,I think it's fair to let him be it from now on too."
"Agreed.",said Aragorn.
"Why can't I be...",Legolas was talking when Elrond cut him:
"Just because,Legolas.",he said irritated.
*Oh my God,this arrogant elf is going with us too.* were the thoughts of
Boromir.
*Fuck! This elf here will only cause trouble.*,thought Gimli.
*What if Elrond is right? Legolas appear to be really spoiled.*,were
the thoughts of Gandalf.
*Frodo Baggins! Is this a name?*,Legolas was thinking.
Aragorn sighed. He could sense the hate for the elf in the air. None of
them really wanted him to go. He was young,and egocentric,and stubborn,
and everything,right. But Aragorn saw no evil in his eyes. Legolas
seemed to be very unhappy,by the way. All that arrogance was covering
something the elf couldn't stand to have. Weaknesses. Fears. He had to
prove to the world he was strong and brave,just as the prince he was.
And Aragorn sensed it well.
*Well,Legolas is not that bad. I'll try to help him. Ummm...but why am
I looking at his butt as well?*
A/N: So what did you think? Review please!
