Listen To Your Heart

Chapter 2

"I really do appreciate that" Legolas looks at him "you know I have never been this drawn to anyone elf or human in all my life until you".

Eomer was shocked that Legolas said that and tried to find the right words to say "I…um…don't know what to say".

"It's alright you don't have to say anything I just thought you should know" Legolas looks down at the ground.

Eomer can't take it anymore and takes Legolas' face in his hands and kisses him "does that help?"

Legolas just nods and kisses him again. Gimli is about to walk to Legolas but stops. He turns to Aragon and says "he is a little busy at the moment".

"What do you mean?" he looks in the direction of where Legolas is. "Oh yeah I will talk to him later". So later that night before the feast was going to start Aragon is looking for Legolas and finds him outside shooting arrows at a target. "So do you plan on sharing what happened earlier?"

Legolas turned to Aragon and blushed "we had a moment but nothing further can happen".

"And why would that be exactly?"

"Well for two reason. The first being my father would not be pleased and the second being I have to be 100% focused on helping to find Merry and Pippin and being as much of assistance as I can to Frodo and Sam."

"You know as well as I do that your dad would be happy for you no matter..he was happy when you were with Haldir"

"Yeah but Haldir is an elf not a mortal man like you".

"Legolas listen to me why are you coming up with excuses? You are the best archer in Middle Earth and a pretty damn good fighter as well".

"Thanks for the compliment but truth is I can't let myself get hurt again. Yeah Haldir and I were able to work out our past and become friends again but I can't afford to fall in love again especially to a mortal man..I will fade when he would pass on".

"Legolas you can't think about that. You have to let yourself love again you deserve this more than anyone else I know" he puts his hand on Legolas' shoulder. Little did they know but Eomer was listening cuz he was on his way to talk to Legolas but stopped when they started to talk about him. Eomer walked away and left Rohan with a bunch of riders. Legolas and Aragon went back inside for the feast. Eowyn walked up to Legolas and asked to talk to him privately so they walked away.

"Is everything okay Eowyn?" Legolas asked.

"No it's not. Eomer left."

"Wait what do you mean he left? Where did he go?"

"I don't know where he went. He and a bunch of riders left this morning and he didn't say anything to anyone".

Legolas was extremely upset by this "I don't understand why he would leave. We are leaving for Helms Deep tomorrow are we not?"

"Yes in fact we are leaving first thing in the morning."

He has tears in his eyes but he doesn't want to show them "Okay I need some air" and he walks outside and gets his arrows and his bow and starts shooting the target.

Aragon sees Legolas goes outside upset "Eowyn what happened?"

"Eomer left this morning with a bunch of riders and he didn't tell anyone he was leaving or where he was going".

"Oh my he must of heard me and Legolas talking this morning..I should go out to him"

Gimli stops him "no laddie let him be he needs his space maybe Gandalf can find him".

"I hope he can because he just left and told me to look for him on the third day".

The next day everyone gets their things together and heads out to Helms Deep.

"Legolas Gandalf went out to find him and he is going to bring him to Helms Deep" Aragon told him.

"That is good because now I can focus".

On their way to Helms Deep they run into some enemies and have to fight them. Aragon falls off a kill trying to kill the beast and Legolas find Arwn's evenstar in one the enemies hands so he keeps it in case Aragon is still alive. They finally reach Helms Deep after the women and children arrive.

Somehow Aragon miraculously survives his fall and makes his way to Helms Deep to warn Theoden of the numbers the enemy possess.

"They have ten thousand at least".

"Ten thousand" Theoden says in disbelief "when will they be here?"

"They should make it here by night fall."

"Gamli get all the men and children old enough to hold a sword ready for battle".

"Yes sir" he bows and leaves to do his task.

A little later before the battle Aragon and Legolas get into a fight.

"They have fear I can see it in their eyes". Everyone looks at him.

"And they should be three hundred to ten thousand" (in Elvish)

"They still have hope" (in Elvish)

"They don't stand a chance they will die!" Legolas says in Elvish.

"Then I shall die as one of them!" Aragon says in English.

Legolas is going to go after him but Gimli stops him.

"Let him go laddie, let him go".

Later Legolas finds Aragon getting ready for battle and hands him his sword "forgive me you have leaded us this far I should not have despaired".

"There is nothing forgive mellin in" Aragon puts his arm on his shoulder. Gimli comes in trying to adjust his chain metal. "It is taking me a damn long time to get this thing on". Legolas and Aragon just look at him while he gets it undone.

"It's a little tight across the chest" Gimli states. Aragon just looks at him. But they all hear a horn. "That is no Orc horn" Legolas says and they run outside to see a group of Elves led by Haldir walking up to kind Theoden. So the battle is about to take place and its starts to down pour. Gimli says to Legolas "you could of picked a better spot".

Legolas just similes at him. "What is going on out there?"

"Would you like me to describe it you or should I get you a box?" Legolas asks Gimli. The battle begins and Gimli shouts to Legolas. "Legolas I'm at two"

He turns his head "I'm at seventeen already" and smiles while continuing to fight.

"I will have no pointy ear beating me!" So the battle continues and sure enough Gandalf is spotted just when he told Aragon he would be there. He also had Eomer and the other riders of Rohan with him. They were able to win this part of the battle but they still had more to do. A/N Haldir did not die. Legolas went to look for Eomer after the battle.

"Eomer can we please talk?" Legolas looks at him with a pleading look.

"Um sure I guess" They walk away to an empty room. Legolas started talking first "I am not sure exactly what made you leave but."

"I heard you and Aragon talking at Edoras".

"Well then you didn't hear the most important part of our discussion".

Eomer looked at him "and what would that have been".

Legolas hesitated at first "Well it's that I want to let myself love again and I want it to be with you".

Eomer is shocked "what happened with this Haldir person?"

Legolas sighed because he knew Eomer was going to ask "well it is a long story but I guess you deserve to know. It started a Milena ago. Haldir had confessed what he felt for me and I returned the feelings. However there was something he was not telling me and I could sense it. We were getting serious and I thought I was going to be with him for the rest of my life but I was wrong. He met someone else and left me without an explanation. I finally got one about three hundred years later but at that point it was too late for anything other than friendship. Thankfully he excepted that and we have been fine ever since but I have not been able to open up to anyone in that way since".

"Wow I don't know what to say but why are you ready to love again?"

"Because I can't keep myself away from you and I am falling for you already" he looked up to see Eomer's reaction and it wasn't what he was expecting. Eomer kissed him with so much passion that it took his breath away. "I already love you Legolas Greenleaf". They keep kissing and things get heated up pretty fast. "Eomer I want you".

"I want you to but I think we should wait a little bit anyway".

"Okay I think that is a good idea. I love you".
