Note: None of these are my original creations. The song 'Every Thing I Do,
I Do it For You' was written by someone else. Contains shounen ai and a
love triangle between Arwen, Aragorn, and Legolas. I may write a sequel if
asked. This is a song fic!
Not Worth Dying For

"Legolas!" Aragorn shouted, as the elf threw himself in front of Arwen.
The arrow, which only the elf saw, was aiming for her. It struck Legolas directly in the heart. Yet, he somehow had the strength to draw an arrow and kill the person who had tried to kill Arwen.
Then Legolas fell to the ground.
Aragorn ran over to Legolas and took his friend in his arms.
"Legolas," Aragorn whispered.
"Aragorn," Legolas said weakly. "Forgive me. I made the decision for you." He knew that Aragorn cared for both him and Arwen and had not been able to choose.
Aragorn's grey eyes met Legolas's green ones.
Love and longing shone in his glowing emerald eyes.
************************************************
Look into my eyes, You will see, What you mean to me.
Search your heart, search your soul,
And when you find me there you'll search no more.
************************************************
"No, Legolas!" Aragorn removed the arrow and covered the wound with his bare hands.
Arwen stood there, shaken. She'd never thought it would come to this. The three of them were connected by one person; Estel. But Arwen had never thought that Legolas would make the decision for him.
"Why?" Aragorn demanded.
"Because you love her," Legolas said, as he coughed blood up. "You love her, Aragorn. And God help me, I love you."
Aragorn was stunned. "I love you too, Legolas!" he asked quietly.
"It was worth it, Aragorn," Legolas whispered. "I have no regrets. I wanted you to be happy."
"You dying does not make me happy, Legolas!" Tears were running down Aragorn's face as he looked at the dying elf.
"It's worth dying to keep you happy, Aragorn. I did it for you."
************************************************
Don't tell me it's not worth trying for,
You can't tell me it's not worth dying for.
You know it's true,
Everything I do, I do it for you.
************************************************
Legolas felt his hold on consciousness slipping away.
"Legolas…" Aragorn whispered.
Legolas touched his face with a trembling, pale hand. "I love you, Aragorn. I always have."
*******************************************************
Look into my heart, You will find, There's nothing there to hide.
Take me as I am, take my life, I will give it all, I would sacrifice.
*******************************************************
To his relief, Aragorn could see that Legolas was still breathing as the elf went limp. He picked him up carefully and looked at Arwen.
"We need to get him to the Healer, Arwen, before it's too late."
She nodded, and they ran back to the castle as quickly as they could.
Once there, the Healers took Legolas into a room and began working on him.
Aragorn paced in the hallway, still in shock. Why hadn't Legolas told him the depth of his feelings?
Because he didn't want to drive you and Arwen further apart, his conscience nagged him. But you were doing that anyway.
Aragorn clenched his fists. If only Legolas had told him sooner, he thought. And if only Aragorn had admitted the truth to himself as well; he loved the blond elf. Much more than he loved Arwen.
And now Legolas was in there dying. Because he'd wanted to keep Arwen alive, for the other elf knew that Aragorn loved her, as well.
And while Aragorn was glad that Arwen was unharmed, he did not want the other one he loved to die, either.
The Healers beckoned to him when the door opened.
Aragorn walked in and sat next to the bed. Legolas was pale and unconscious, so Aragorn took the elf's hand and squeezed it hard.
'I will not lose you, Legolas,' Aragorn whispered in Elvish. 'Fight!'
**********************************
Don't tell me it's not worth fighting for.
I can't help it, there's nothing I want more.
You know it's true,
Everything I do, I do it for you.
***********************************
Arwen saw the way Aragorn was looking at Legolas. I've lost him, she mused.
In her heart, she'd always known that they were in love. She was just surprised it had taken so long for Aragorn and Legolas to act on it. Arwen was glad that Legolas was an elf, for it meant that his healing ability would keep him from dying.
Arwen walked away, leaving them alone. The Healers followed her when she beckoned to them.
Legolas heard a voice whispering to him in Elvish. It brought him out of the darkness.
'Aragorn?' he questioned weakly. He flinched as he opened his eyes. He was stunned when he looked in Aragorn's eyes.
Love shone in them.
'God, Legolas. Don't ever pull a stunt like this again,' Aragorn murmured. 'I thought I'd lost you.'
'I don't understand…' Legolas looked at Aragorn. 'Why are you crying?' He carefully wiped the tears away, flinching as he did so. A bandage was wrapped around his chest, and he was now shirtless.
'I was worried about you, Legolas.' Aragorn touched his face gently.
'Why?' Legolas questioned. 'Elves don't die too easily.'
'Legolas, I need to tell you something,' Aragorn said quietly. 'I love you, too.'
'You do?' Legolas was overjoyed to hear those words from Aragorn.
Legolas and Aragorn looked into each other's eyes and saw love shining there.
*****************************************************
There's no love, like your love,
And no other could give more love.
There's nowhere, unless you're there.
All the time, all the way.
*****************************************************
Aragorn leaned over and kissed Legolas softly.
It was just as Legolas had always dreamed it would be; warm and magical. He responded with a staggering kiss full of sparks, which left Aragorn breathless.
When Legolas flinched, Aragorn drew back reluctantly.
'Wait until you're healed, Legolas,' Aragorn said. He still held the elf's hand. 'And I am not worth dying for.'
'Yes you are,' Legolas protested. 'You're kind, caring, loving… and I love you.'
'Why didn't you tell me the truth?' Aragorn asked once more.
'I didn't want to hurt you… or Arwen,' Legolas murmured softly. 'So I lied and said I liked you.'
'Be honest with your feelings, Legolas,' Aragorn told him. 'Do not hesitate to tell me the truth.'
**************************************************
You can't tell me it's not worth trying for.
I can't help it there's nothing I want more.
I would fight for you. I'd lie for you, walk the wire for you.
I'd die for you.
**************************************************
Legolas nodded slowly and yawned. 'Sorry, Aragorn. I'm just feeling really sleepy right now.'
'Go to sleep, dear one,' Aragorn whispered. 'I'll stay beside you the entire time.'
Legolas touched Aragorn's face again before closing his eyes.
After Legolas had fallen asleep, Aragorn touched his face softly. He was relieved to see that Legolas was still alive.
And he sat there all night beside the one that he loved. The one who was willing to die for him.
