This is set between Happily ever After and Five Kisses. Thanks to my Beta reader Shell. I love her. She is the one to thank for such a great chapter and for it not having a hundred spelling mistakes.

Legolas found himself being pulled into a bone crushing hug, for what was probably the hundredth time this night. It seemed, at least to him, that all of the Gondor and Rohan Lord have had only one idea in mind: to congratulate the new King of Gondor. Legolas was beginning to feel, not only invisible, but completely left out.

Suppressing a sigh, he once more looked around the grand room. Normally it was light and airy, but tonight it felt like a completely different room. It was bedecked with flowers of all colours and flags and banner's in the houses of the newly joined Royal Houses. Despite this, the room felt overcrowded and overwhelming.

Legolas was grateful when his attention was caught as at that moment, as was the rest of the room slowly but surly, by Faramir. He stepped into the centre of the hall and once the room was completely silent started to talk.

"We are all here today to witness two very special event's. Combining a celebration to welcome our new King and I also to introduce the new Royal Couple. It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you King Elessar and Prince Legolas."

Suddenly, Legolas felt someone tap his arm from behind. Turning he found Aragorn, gesturing with his hand to his husband to join him on the dance floor. He tried to shake his head, but suddenly realised they were the sole attention of everyone in the room. Blushing, he took Aragorn's hand as they took to the dance floor the musicians began to play a slow tune. Slowly the floor around them began to fill as other couple's also began to dance, smiling and holding one another close.

Once more, Aragorn took his Husband's hand and making their way slowly through the crowd he led the way out onto a balcony that over looked the gardens of Gondor. "My Love, I have not had the chance to tell you how amazing you look." Aragorn began to kiss Legolas' neck, gently sliding his tongue across the sensitive part of his jaw.

The couple began to kiss feverishly until a subtle cough, broke them apart. Looking around, they saw the other member's of the Fellowship standing behind them, smiling. Legolas blushed and Aragorn buried his face in the golden, fragrant hair of his husband.

Laughing the Fellowship sat down with the newly wedded couple and began to talk amongst them. Aragorn and Legolas continued to kiss gently whilst listening with one ear.

Finally, Gandalf could take no more and standing turned to them saying, "If that is all you plan to do this evening, I suggest you both go to bed, now." The Hobbit's giggled together. Legolas only smiled, but began to pull Aragorn towards the door that would lead to their bed chambers.

Groaning, Aragorn came to a halt. "Legolas, I must go and excuse us from the Lord's, we can't just disappear. Nodding his reluctant agreement the two went back into the hall to say their goodnights

Once more on his own, as Aragorn was talking to Faramir, Legolas could not help but over hear some of the Lord's talking. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

The two Lord's in question, stood slightly apart from the others. One was slightly shorter than the other, but both wore their dark hair short. This was more than made up for by the amount of hair they had grown on their faces. They could even give Gimli a good competition for beard growing. This, though wasn't what upset Legolas, it was the implications of what they were saying.

"I hear the King only married the Elf because he is a good lover." The taller of the two put so much contempt in these words it was amazing.

"Never, I heard it was because he was really into the fun stuff. If you know what I mean……." This was finished with a snide laugh.

Legolas could take it no longer and storming over to the two men, he couldn't stop himself. "If you truly think that the only reason Aragorn and I wed was due to all that happens in the bedroom, I really pity your Wives. We married due to love and respect. I know that Aragorn respects me as some thing more than just a bed warmer and I would have thought that two dignified men like you, would have been able to see that. I have more experience with politics and court affairs than the entire Lord's of Gondor added together. I have been helping my Father, King Thranduil, for nearly two thousand years. Thanks to you, any respect I may have held for the men of Gondor has been destroyed. I hope that makes you happy and proud. Goodnight." Saying this, Legolas whirled around and strode put of the room.

Inside the hall people began to clap for the brave Elf. Many knew that these two particular Lord's treated their wives very badly and had taken many lovers'. Finally, some one had had the courage to put them in their place. Whether they would learn from it would be a different matter.

Hurriedly excusing himself, Aragron started after Legolas. Catching up to him, Aragorn saw the anger on his lovers face. Gently gathering the pale Elf's hand in his own, Aragorn raised it to his lips and kissed it.

"Well said, Legolas." Aragorn smiled at his husband, trying to calm him.

"I am sorry for ruining the feast like that, but what they were saying made me so angry." Legolas gripped Aragorn's hand tightly and blushed once more at the memory of everyone listening to him. Despite his anger his words had been calm and collected, but the authority and meaning behind the words had made every one stop and listen.

"I heard what they were saying, Legolas. I was a hairs breadth away from shouting at them myself." He gave a grin. "Your way seemed by far the more effective." Saying this Aragorn kissed Legolas once again. Taking advantage he pressed him hard up against the stone wall of the palace.

The two kissed with passion, both opening their mouths and welcoming the tongue of the other. Finally, they reluctantly separated, they both needed air. "Wow." Legolas panted. Aragron wasted no breath on words; he just scooped Legolas up into hi arms and cradled him. Kissing continuously, the couple made their room to their bedroom. Entering the two collapsed onto the bed and shutting out the world around them they spent their first ever night together.

That's it. Please review and thanks to everyone who encourages me. Sorry about the removal of A Second Chance for Happiness. It will not be coming back unless I can get a complete re write done.
