As requested the next chapter...

Also a little note for everyone, I am going to Florida today and i may not have internet but the next two chapters have already been typed and uploaded so I probably will not be posting until I return (around the 29th).

ak-stinger and MoroTheWolfGod may be a little disappointed though since Boromir and Aragorn won't see each other in this chapter so no butt kicking or killing, yet. But who can say what's coming?

Chapter 4 Healing

Several hours later Aragorn awoke to find Legolas sitting next to his bed gazing out the window. "Legolas!" he whispered.

Legolas heard the urgency in his voice and looked down at Aragorn. "What is it?"

"Come closer." The man whispered.

Legolas obliged and leaned down. Suddenly Aragorn reached up and pulled the elf to him for a kiss. Gradually deepening the kiss Aragorn began to explore the elf's mouth. Legolas began to panic and sat up ending the kiss. Aragorn moaned in disappointment.

"I ate. Now it's your turn."

Legolas helped Aragorn to sit up and fed him an assortment of fruit and helped him to drink some water. As Aragorn began to fall back asleep he found Legolas's hand and kissed it holding Legolas's hand over his heart he fell asleep. Legolas set the fruit aside and laid his head on the bed before falling asleep as well.

Gladriel came in to check on the two of them only to leave when she saw Aragorn laying on his side still holding the elf's hand and resting the other hand on top of Legolas's head while Legolas was also asleep his head on the bed free hand touching the man's face. No she thought. I will not be the one to disturb them. And she left as quietly as she had entered.

As the first rays of light shown through the window Legolas felt someone holding his hand and playing gently with his hair. Legolas looked up surprised to see the man was already awake.

"Good morning, my love." Aragorn said with a grin. "How did you sleep? I had the most pleasant dream. I dreamt that you were next to me holding my hand as I slept then I woke up to discover that my dream had become a reality."

"Oh that sounds a little like my dream-only I must have finished it because I saw myself waking up and taking you in my arms so I could kiss all your worries away."

"Sounds like a good ending but you know what's really strange about it? I would have thought if you had this knowledge we would have stopped talking long befor"

Aragorn was forced into silence as Legolas claimed his lips. Aragorn slowly coaxed Legolas onto the bed and pulled him on top of his body. Legolas refused to put any of his weight on Aragorn holding himself up instead. The man thought he would go insane if he couldn't feel Legolas so using his free arms he pulled the elf down onto his body. Aragorn suddenly felt like his chest would explode and tried to ignore the pain.

Legolas realized what he had done and tried to get off Aragorn but was held in place by a pair of strong arms.

"No, please stay."

"I'm hurting you."

"I can deal with this pain but the pain of not touching you is unbearable."

Still Legolas would not cause Aragorn any more pain so he slid to Aragorn's side but stayed inside the man's strong arms. Sighing Aragorn fell back into a healing sleep. Legolas lay watching his lover's face until he finally rolled over and let his mind wander back to Mirkwood and among the trees of the palace.

Late that night Aragorn woke again to find the elf still sleeping in his arms. Hoping to wake him up Aragorn pulled Legolas even closer pinning his arms to his sides. Aragorn began to kiss and lick Legolas's ear. Finding the elf not responding Aragorn began to suck on the pointed elven tip using his teeth and tongue.

Legolas woke up and noticed at first he was trapped against someone who obviously desired him judging by what he could feel poking into his back. He could also feel someone sucking at his ear someone with a beard.

"No! Don't! I hate you! Why do you do this to me!" Legolas began to yell as he struggled against the man holding him.

Aragorn realized something was wrong and let the elf go as Legolas turned around and hit him and kicked him at the same time before realizing that it was Aragorn and not Boromir. Terrified by what he had done Legolas began to try and fix the damage.

"ooohhhhhhhh….oooooowwwwwwww…….no it's ooooooo……okay I'm fine."

"No your not. I hurt you-again."

"No you couldn't have hurt me." Aragorn attempted to smile but it came out as a grimace.

"I'm sorry. I just-panicked."

"Oh you thought I was Boromir didn't you?"

"Yes…he used to used to try and force me to feel pleasure and then your beard-it felt just like him."

"Then it is I who should be sorry. I shall shave and I won't hold you against your will again."

"No! You can't. I don't want you to try and change yourself."

"But I hate causing you discomfort and pain."

"How can you talk like that? Not a minute ago I caused you so much pain that when Koehar returns I am sure he will want to kill me and all you can think about is my discomfort."

"I can't help it. You mean more to me then my own life."

"Aragorn I love everything about you. I would never sleep again if it meant I could never wake up in your arms. One day you are going to make an amazing king." And a great father I hope Legolas added to himself.

"What's going on in here?" Koehar walked in. "What did you do Aragorn?" Koehar had just noticed the blood that began to seep through the bandages.

Giving Legolas a grin Aragorn said to Koehar "Sorry, Legolas was asleep and I didn't want to wake him so I tried to stand and get water but I fell and I fear I may have opened my cuts. Legolas woke up when I fell and helped me back into bed though."

"Right. Well in that case I am very disappointed in you Aragorn-you should have known you were to weak to stand." Koehar began to fix the damage Aragorn had done with his 'fall' "Your friends will arrive shortly and we will have to let them see you in the morning so be prepared."

As Koehar began to leave he turned to look back at Legolas "Legolas?"

"Yes?"

"Through that door there is a larger bed that you can both fit on easily if you help him you should be able to switch beds." Catching the grin that broke out on Aragorn's face he added "However Aragorn is not ready to do anything more then sleep. And I mean actually sleep."

"Okay Koehar. Thank you."

Legolas helped Aragorn into the next room and laid him down in the middle of the bed. Legolas began to leave the room.

"Legolas! Where are you going?"

"Next door. You heard what Koehar said. You have to sleep."

"And I will."

"So I am going next door to let you sleep."

"No you not."

"Do you really think you can stop me?"

"No I am asking you not to leave me."

"Aragorn I can't deny you anything but Koehar said you needed to rest."

"And you don't believe I can rest with you here?"

"Okay, but if you don't sleep I will have to leave."

"Good now since I only have on these light pants I think you would be more comfortable without so much clothing on."

Legolas obliged and took off everything but his pants as well and climbed into bed with Aragorn. He didn't feel ready to be so close to the man wearing so little so he stayed sitting on the side.

"Legolas?"

"I hate him."

"Boromir?"

"I want nothing more then to sleep in your arms but because of him I worry about what I'll do when I wake up."

"Oh. Then why don't you just lay here next to me and for now I won't hold you?"

Legolas moved over and laid down facing the man instead. Aragorn couldn't help but put his arm protectively around Legolas's waist before he fell asleep.

When Legolas woke up the next morning once again it was to see Aragorn's face already awake and watching him.

"Legolas my love you seem to be sleeping better now that we are in Lorien then you did on the road. I fear to take you from this place or you might not find such deep sleep again."

"Don't try and fool yourself Aragorn it is not this place that lets me sleep with out worry it is the hairy man I am sleeping next to." Legolas answered while running a hand through the hair on Aragorn's chest. "Maybe fur would be more appropriate through."

"Since I slept and you slept we followed Koehar's directions so I think I should be allowed to kiss you."

"I think that would be okay if you promise me when the others are here you will stay in bed and not hurt Boromir."

"I promise but if he tries anything…"

Legolas moved closer to Aragorn and began to kiss the man on the lips. Legolas let his hand snake between them and down to Aragorn's obvious desire. When he took hold of the man and began to stroke him Aragorn moaned into the kiss. Legolas's hand brought the man quickly to release and then breaking off the kiss brought his hand to his mouth in order to taste the liquid on it.

"mmm…you taste even better then I thought you would."

"You do have an interesting definition of a kiss."

"Not really. All you did was kiss me. We never discussed what I could and couldn't do. Now I hear someone a ways down the hallway so let's get you in a better position to meet them."
