Revenge Is Sweet

Part 15

Legolas placed a hand over his mouth in shock as he turned pure white. His lower lip began to quiver as a few tears began to run down his face. The elf then turned and ran off, severely confused. He had just been kissed by someone he did not even know, and it devastated him. But Legolas did not know why he was so upset at the thought of someone else besides Aragorn kissing him.

Aragorn bellowed out Haldir's name and drew Anduril. He then proceeded to begin chasing the fleet and agile elf. Haldir ran for his life, amusement sparkling in his eyes.

Haldir was grinning as he easily avoided the blows from the sword. Well, at least his curiosity had been answered. Some things had not changed at all about Legolas. Of course, Haldir had to admit that the other elf did have nice lips.

Aragorn shouted, `When I catch you, Haldir, you are going to be so dead!'

`Shouldn't you be going after Legolas?' Haldir shouted back, as he tore through the camp.

Aragorn retorted, `Just as soon as I teach you a lesson! I'm the only one that can kiss Legolas!'

Frodo, Gimli, Boromir, Sam, Pippin, and Merry watched as the elf dashed past them, with Aragorn closely behind him, shouting at him in Elvish and brandishing Anduril.

"What are they doing?" Pippin questioned.

Gimli shrugged. "Sparring, I guess."

"How did Haldir get here?" Frodo wondered.

Sam muttered, "Where's Legolas? It's time for his watch."

Boromir said, "He's probably still in a tree."

"Does that mean I get to stand watch?" Merry asked hopefully.

Two voices shouted in unison: "No!"

Merry pouted, and Pippin comforted him.

`Aragorn, let me explain,' Haldir said, breathing hard. Even elves could not run forever.

`Take your explanations and shove them up your...' Aragorn was cut off.

`No, thanks, I'm not Legolas,' Haldir snickered, as he stopped running and turned to face

the human. The elf could run no longer, for they had been running around for about an hour now.

Aragorn growled and leaped at Haldir. He knocked the taller elf to the ground and pricked his throat with Anduril. `What the hell were you thinking when you kissed `my' Legolas?'

Haldir giggled a little, which slightly scared Aragorn. `Making you jealous.'

Aragorn slapped the elf across the face hard. `Didn't you even notice that Legolas was crying before he ran off?'

`He was?' Haldir asked faintly. He turned slightly red. `I just thought it might help him remember.'

`Yes, he was. And you are going to apologize, Haldir,' Aragorn said sternly.

`Why don't you go and see him?' Haldir questioned slyly. `I'm sure that he's safe and all, being alone out there without his memories of how to fight.'

`You're just trying to get me to get off you so I don't kill you,' Aragorn snapped.

A choking sob sounded from behind them. Legolas had come back in time to see Aragorn run off after Haldir, and had followed them. He looked stricken when he saw Aragorn pinning Haldir down. Legolas's lower lip began to quiver.

`Get off me, stupid,' Haldir hissed. `Don't you know what he's probably thinking?'

Aragorn climbed off of the elf and walked over to Legolas, who refused to look at him.

`Legolas, I was just...'

`I don't want to hear it, Aragorn. I knew you didn't want me.' Legolas turned and started to walk away before pausing. He looked back, slightly embarrassed. `Where's the camp?'

`I'll walk you back,' Aragorn offered.

Haldir took advantage of the distraction to disappear into the night, and the elf made his way to the camp, after he spoke to the trees softly in Elvish.

`There was no reason for Aragorn to hit me so hard,' he grumbled. Haldir gingerly touched the massive bruise forming on his face.

"Hello, Haldir," Frodo said cheerfully. "What happened to your face?"

Haldir looked sheepish. "I kissed Legolas against his will in front of Aragorn," the elf confessed.

The others burst into laughter.

"I'm sure that went over well," Gimli snickered. Everyone knew how protective Aragorn was about Legolas.

Haldir defended himself. "I was just trying to see if it would spark any memories in Legolas. Anyway, I don't think either of them will be back for a while." He looked majorly pleased with himself.

The others began laughing again.

"Maybe then things will finally get back to normal," Sam said.

"Can we go stand watch?" Pippin asked. Merry nodded enthusiastically.

"No!" three people shouted. Haldir exchanged a startled look with Gimli and Boromir.

"My horse needs to rest," Haldir said. "If you don't mind, I'll stay here until I can leave."

"Plenty to eat," Gimli said, by way of agreeing.

The rest of the Fellowship agreed as well, so Haldir stayed and took Legolas's watch.

Somewhere Alone

********************

Legolas refused to talk to Aragorn, as they tried to find their way to the camp. But the trees kept changing the path, so they kept winding up back at the same spot.

Aragorn finally grabbed Legolas by the shoulders and pulled him close. The elf looked at him coldly, before Aragorn kissed him hard.

Legolas's anger melted away, as he leaned into the kiss, and looped his arms around Aragorn's neck. The human's hands drifted down until one cupped the back of the elf's head, and the other encircled his waist, holding Legolas against Aragorn.

Legolas moaned in pleasure, as Aragorn pushed his tongue into the elf's open mouth. Legolas's entered Aragorn's easily, as their mouths began to chase each other hungrily.

`I am confused,' Legolas whispered in between kisses. `I thought you didn't want me.'

`Never doubt that,' Aragorn murmured. `I will always want you. But I do not wish to rush you.'

Legolas silenced Aragorn by sliding his hands down the tunic and shirt covering Aragorn's chest. A soft groan escaped from Aragorn's lips, as the elf slipped his hands under the shirt and onto his bare chest.

`Do you like this?' Legolas teased, caught up in a sweet memory.

Aragorn took control again, and lowered the willing elf onto the ground slowly. `You know I do,' he said huskily, as he removed Legolas's shirt and tunic. He flicked the elf's ear tip with his tongue, and was pleased to see the beautiful elf tremble slightly.

Legolas took Aragorn's shirt and tunic off, and pulled the Man's face close to his for another sweet kiss.

Aragorn traced Legolas's face with his hands, as if to memorize every perfect feature. `You are so beautiful,' he whispered.

Legolas was surprised at that statement. `No, I'm not. You are the beautiful one,' he said honestly, as he began to fumble with Aragorn's belt.

`Yes, you are, Legolas. Never doubt that,' Aragorn said sternly. His voice softened to a seductive whisper. `Eager, hmm?' He caught the elf's slender wrists easily, and held them in one hand, as he used his other hand to send Legolas into torment.

Legolas whimpered and tried to reach for Aragorn, who released the elf and lowered himself over him. Legolas was uncertain of how to proceed, so Aragorn made it as slow and easy as he could.

Leggings and belts quickly went the way of the shirts and tunics, as the two lovers got to know each other again.
