Temptation
After all had come to an end Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli were on their way back to Rivendell.
Aragorn couldn't wait to see Arwen again. He had missed her terribly.
And he was not the only one ...
As they arrived they could hear a female voice calling out for her lover: "Aragorn!"
The Ranger's face lit up. "Arwen!" He yelled back and ran towards her.
They kissed deeply.
Legolas couldn't help but sigh silently.
Only Gimli heared it and squeezed his friend's shoulder lightly.
Sadly the elf smiled at him.
Then Arwen greeted them.
Legolas could see how Aragorn watched carefully as she kissed them both on the cheeks.
But he didn't give a reason for jelously.
Then Lord Elrond joined them.
"Ah, Estel. The king of Gondor has returned to us."
"Lord Elrond." Aragorn said and bowed his head respectfully.
"Why so formal, my son?"
"Because there's something I want to ask of you."
"Speak freely."
"I'd like to merry your daughter Arwen."
Tears of joy filled the eyes of Elrond's daughter.
"Well, you know what I once thought about it."
King Elessar's eyes grew sad.
"But I've changed my mind. I want you two to be happy."
"You say yes?"
Elrond smiled warmly and nodded.
Arwen flew in her lover's arms.
Only Gimli could see the tears shimmering in Legolas' eyes.
Lost in thoughts Legolas sat in Elrond's garden as Aragorn sat down next to him.
"Are you all right, my friend?"
"Sure."
"I know how hard it must be for you. But it's good to know that I can trust you."
"You don't have to worry."
Aragorn slowly stood up and nodded. "I know."
Two days later.
"Aragorn, did you know it?"
"What do you mean, Darling?"
"That Legolas is in love with me."
"How do you know?"
"I heared Gandalf and Gimli talk about it."
"Yes, I knew it." Aragorn sighed. "And I know that it must be hard for him."
Arwen nodded. "I wish we could help him."
"Me too."
"Hello Legolas."
The blonde elf turned around as he heared the female voice behind him.
He smiled briefly. "Hello."
Arwen sat down beside him.
She took his right hand and squeezed it gently. "Are you all right?"
He looked at her in confussion. "What do you mean?"
"I heared Gandalf and Gimli talking about your love for me."
Legolas' eyes widened. "Arwen, please forgive me. I ..."
"There's nothing I could forgive you. Nobody can blame you for your feelings. Can I help you somehow?"
'Why can't you just leave me alone?' Legolas thought. She sat there and talked about love and couldn't even
imagine how hard it was to resist her. She was so beautiful and kind. All he wanted was holding her in his arms.
And then he just couldn't resist anymore.
He leaned forward and gently kissed her.
As the parted he had tears in his eyes.
"Please forgive me, Arwen. I didn't mean to kiss you - really." He abruptly stood up and left the room.
On the door he turned around once more. "I'll leave Rivendell tomorrow."
