Aragorn woke up slowly remembering the young elf in his arms. He loved the way he looked. So peaceful, so at ease, so perfect, he had never seen a more wonderful sight. Well maybe one other, in the peak of their lovemaking. A soft noise disrupted him from his thoughts. He looked down at the naked elf now turning over to face his human lover. "So what do we do now?"

"I think we decide where this will go." He replied pulling his body closer to Legolas's. He didn't want to let him go he wanted to keep Legolas as his forever, and to never let him go. He had endured many losses and he was not to let this one go. He pulled Legolas's now messy hair out of his face. "But first lets get a few more hours of sleep ok my love?"

Legolas nodded but not before kissing his favorite man softly. He pulled away and snuggled into Aragorn's embrace. He whispered almost silently the words that meant the most to Aragorn in the world. "Amin mela lle" or in easier terms I love you.

"ARAGORN! LEGOLAS! What are you doing in bed at such- Aiya!" Elrond screamed as he saw his foster son sleeping soundly next to an equally naked Legolas.

"Ada I- I can explain!" Aragorn spoke suddenly realizing his father had walked in on them. Legolas pulled the sheets tighter around his lower half. Their eyes were wide as a dining plate, for they knew they were in the most trouble of their lives.

"Explain what! Lying in bed with another boy! This is outrageous! How did I raise a son to betray all that I had taught him? I thought last night taught you something! You are my son and will behave as such! So do not do anything I shall disapprove of! And this! This I disapprove of Estel! This is no way for a prince to behave!" He bellowed at the young teenager his heart torn in two. He was to have Arwen betrothed to Aragorn, so how was he supposed to do that when he was in love with another. Legolas of all elves Legolas, he would have to inform his father at once. Their was no time to waste. He saw Aragorn begin to open his mouth. " Dina!! Lle wethrine amin!"

Aragorn's eyes fused with rage. Did Elrond just tell him to be silent and that he had deceived him. This could not be. Aragorn's face fell. He looked almost dead the look on his ace was of such sadness.

"Why do you treat him this way Lord Elrond! Does him being your son mean nothing to you! He is only trying to be who he desires to be! And if I am the elf to give it to him, well then it shall be! I do not care if I never see another Rivendell building, or garden again! As long as I can see Aragorn, I can be happy. Happy is all either of us wants to be! So please Lord Elrond at least grant your son that, since you can not grant him his own father, grant him the gift of you being his. Treat him like a real son, and let him be happy please!" Legolas's outburst has shocked them all. He was sitting there shoulders back and head set glaring at Elrond with enough pain to kill twenty thousand orcs and then some elves. He held back the tears that were threatening to fall. "Please for the sake of Isildur's heir!"

"Alright, alright my young friends, you can stay together only under the protection of my palace though!" Elrond smiled as his son smiled and hugged his precious elf. He smiled softly at Legolas and stepped out of the room but behind his retreating back he called for them to get ready for breakfast.

"Aragorn, can you believe it? He is letting us be free! He is letting us understand our hearts! Do you not see? The love that has been dealt to us is one only dealt to those who can keep it!" Legolas grinned. Aragorn laughed letting his lips fall upon the elf's once more. He dug his hands through his lovers hair pouring his whole body and soul out to his friend for this was just the beginning of a life long eternal love.

"Legolas?" He whispered softly his fingers playing deftly with his lovers hair.

"Hmm?" He sighed snuggling deeper into Aragorn's embrace.

"You ever wonder what could be, If we were normal people? You know not heirs to any throne just being there?" Legolas looked up at him in confusion.

"No I like having you just the way we are, you are my light Aragorn and no matter what, I will never leave you." Aragorn smiled and ran his fingers through Legolas's hair. He sharply pulled away when he heard his father's scream tear through the midday peace. They scrambled into their leggings and ran towards the sound of the scream. They bolted past Arwen's room and into the throne room only to see that Elrond was crying with grief.

"Ada? What is wrong? Why are you crying?" Aragorn's eyes rested on his elfish sister. "Arwen? What is going on? Why is Ada crying!" His eyes searched through hers trying to read them, she just shook her head in reply.

"I must leave you now brother, promise me you will look after Ada? Here." She took out Aragorn's hand and placed the Evenstar in his hand. He looked from the pendant to his sister. He nodded trying to hold back the tears as she was escorted out of the throne room by a group of her elfish clan. He turned around to Legolas as the tears started to fall. Legolas pulled Aragorn into a tight embrace and held him there for many hours till they both were able to go back to their bed chambers.
