The following day Aragorn pondered on the question that had ruled his mind, the other night.

As they still moved forward on the journey to Edoras, Aragorn started to notice many things about the blonde elf that he had not noticed before.

As Legolas took lead of the group, I noticed the grace of every step the adroit elf took. The way his beautiful golden locks cascaded just above his bow and arrow, that was slung upon his back. When he turned around to inform us of the terrain ahead, the way his angelic sapphire eyes looked with determination in them.

For some reason everything about Legolas made Aragorn quiffer at the knees. Every time any word left his mouth it made Aragorn's heart flutter as if there where a butterfly inside him.

Just as dusk fell, Legolas who was still at the front of the group, he stopped and looked up, as did the rest of us. And to our bewilderment we found two hobbits in a tree, sitting on a branch. Both shivering and biting their nails furiously. Legolas called out in a strong, firm yet playful voice

"Mary, Pippin get down here!!"

Both hobbits looked up and an ample smile appeared on both their faces. They climbed down as fast as they could. Pippin lost his footwork and tumbled to the ground. But he got up as soon as he landed, and ran to give us a hug. The two hobbits were so ecstatic I thought they were going to wet themselves. After the joyous reunion, they both got on the back of a horse and rode with us. Mary with me and Pippin with Gandalf.

After we rode for about three hours since we picked up the hobbits, we all decided to find a place to rest for the night, except Gandalf, he insisted that we keep moving. But when Pippin fell asleep on his back, he decided it was time for a rest. We put the two hobbits on the ground and within three minutes they both were fast asleep. Pippin mumbling something about a huge glass of rum and him not wanting to drown.

Once again Legolas and I put our things down together. When we both laid down, and got situated, I felt Legolas lace his fingers around mine. At this a huge smile came upon my face. We stared in each other's eyes for a while, until he finally spoke.

"Aragorn, I must say you are the most gorgeous man I have ever seen in my life."

When Aragorn heard those words from Legolas, his heart began to flutter like it had done, before when they were riding earlier that day. This reminded him of the feelings that he had for the elf. Even though he was cautious, about telling Legolas how he truly felt. He knew he had to for if he held it in any longer he might burst.

"Legolas, I'm not sure how you feel about......us, but I'm going to tell you how I feel."

"Everything about you Legolas, makes me feel so remarkable inside. You are so alluring inside and out. I would really love to see our relationship together to go somewhere."

At this Legolas was speechless. They were both silent for many moments, then Aragorn said

"I'm sorry Legolas if I surprised you of if it was to bold for me to say it, but I had to, I just had to."

"Yes Aragorn, it took me by surprise, but no it was not to bold, for I have been having the same feelings, I was just to shy to tell you."

Once again, they were both speechless, for a while and looked into each other's eyes.

After a while Legolas unlaced his fingers from mine and touched his pliable hand to my cheek.

"Aragorn, I must be going to sleep."

He gave Aragorn a kiss on the cheek and rolled over as did Aragorn.

Both looked at the pitch black sky, full of shimmering stars. Even though neither of them knew it they simultaneously thought,

"I love that man."
