(Billee's POV)

I just stared at Jaime, completely shocked.

"Indigo likes me," I muttered, shaking my head. "Well, I never realised that"

"So what do you think?" Jaime asked, giving me a nudge. "Indigo is a nice girl"

"I know she is," I said with a sigh. "But I don't know, Jaime. I really don't. I've never been particularly interested in girls, you know that, but I never saw myself being attracted to guys either…"

"Maybe you should talk to Legolas" Jaime suggested. "Even if it's just to straighten things out. I mean you still want to be friends with him, don't you?"

"Course I do" I said immediately. "I don't want that to change. Do you know where he is?"

"I think he's in Elrond's office with Colan" Jaime smiled and touched my arm. "And Billee?"

"Yeah?"

"It doesn't matter whether you're gay or straight. You're still one of my best friends. And Emma's too"

"Thanks Jamie" I gave her a quick hug. "You can tell Emma what I've told you, but don't tell everyone else, will you? Not yet"

"I won't," she promised. "Now go on. Go and talk to him"

When I reached Elrond's office, the door was slightly ajar. I could see Legolas kneeling on the floor, playing around with Colan. I stood there and watched him for a minute, trying yet again to make sense of my jumbled feelings. Finally I knew what I wanted to do.

"Colan" I said gently as I stepped inside. "Jaime's in the kitchen. Go and ask her for a biscuit" My little brother jumped up and nodded. As he ran out of the room, I kicked the door shut behind him. Legolas glanced up at me, his expression puzzled yet hopeful.

"I think we need to talk, don't you?" I asked, slowly walking over to him. "I want to ask you something"

"Go on"

"Are you attracted to me, Legolas?" I asked softly. "Is that why you kissed me?"

Legolas didn't say anything for a moment. He looked down at the ground and I could see that he was blushing. "Yes" he whispered finally, so softly that I could barely hear him. "I didn't think. I'm sorry if I upset you. All I want is for us to be friends again. I…"

"Legolas" I knelt beside him and lifted his head, forcing him to meet my eyes. "I won't pretend that it wasn't a shock. I had no idea that you felt that way. But…but it doesn't matter"

Knowing that I'd get no resistance from him, I kissed him softly on the lips. As I drew away, it was his turn to be surprised.

"Billee" he whispered, reaching up to run his fingers along my cheek. "I…didn't…"

"Neither did I" I said with a smile, knowing damn well what he was trying to say. "I…I love you Legolas. I didn't realise it before, but now I have. I can't fully commit myself to you yet, Colan is my first concern, you know that, but…but I'm yours if you'll have me"

His only response was to pull me against him and kiss me hard. I kissed him back, running my fingers through his hair. It wasn't until we heard a loud crash that we pulled apart. Standing in the doorway, with his folders scattered across the floor, was our principal. He looked half shocked and half amused at the sight of the two of us. Legolas and I looked at each other and sniggered.

"We'll pick your files up sir" I said quickly through my laughter. "Sorry, I guess we got a little carried away"

"Billee Deamae, Legolas Greenleaf" Elrond shook his head and stepped over the mess on the floor. "Just when I think I know everything about you lot, you always manage to surprise me"

"I know sir" I said with a smirk, laying three of the folders on his desk. "At least we aren't boring"

"No at least you aren't boring" Elrond agreed. "No, I'm pleased for you. A bit startled maybe, but happy just the same. What are you going to tell Colan?"

"Haven't quite worked that one out yet" I admitted. "But he really likes Legolas so we shouldn't have any problems. I'll probably just tell him that Legolas is really a woman"

"Hey" Legolas hit me playfully in the shoulder. Elrond laughed. We picked up the last of his folders and stood up, hand in hand.

"Let's go tell Emma and Jaime the good news" Legolas said with a smile.

"And Indigo the bad news" I added. Legolas and Elrond looked puzzled, so I just shook my head. "Long story" I said with a shrug. "Come on Legolas, let's go"

Still holding hands, we left his office and wandered over to the dorms, not caring what anyone thought. We knew that our friends would be alright about it and to us that was all that mattered…
