1 Sorry I haven't updated this story in awhile. I wasn't sure if I
wanted to develop their relationship slowly or not. But I finally made up
my mind so here it is! Slipping away chapter five! Enjoy!

"Legolas," came a voice from above his head
"Huh?" asked Legolas sleepily. "Aragorn?"
"Yes. You missed breakfast. I was getting worried."
"Sorry," said Legolas, blushing when he realized he wasn't wearing a shirt.
As he began searching his room for a clean one Aragorn noticed the scars on his back. "Shit, what happened to you?"
"Nothing," murmured Legolas.
"Alright," said Aragorn, his eyes filled with concern for his newfound friend. "So what were you planning to do today?"
"Practicing archery," said Legolas simply, holding up his bow and quiver of arrows.
"Um, I was never good at archery. But it's ok, I'll watch."
"Don't worry about it. I'll teach you."
"You will?"
"Sure, what are friends for?"
*************************************************************
"Just hold the bow steady, that's right." Aragorn held the string taunt for a moment, and then he let the arrow fly. It hit the target dead center.
"Great shot!" said Legolas. "I think you're getting the hang of it."
"Thanks to you!" said Aragorn placing a broad hand on the elf's shoulder. A shudder ran through Legolas's body and his touch. Aragorn quickly moved his hand away murmuring, "I'm sorry."
"No it's ok. I liked it," replied Legolas, not realizing what he was saying. Aragorn's eyes flashed and he moved a little closer to Legolas. He smiled and licked his lips. Grinning Aragorn ran his fingers through the elf's long golden hair.
"Ouch!" cried Legolas, backing away.
"What?" asked Aragorn looking scandalized. But then he noticed three large bruises forming on Legolas's face.
Dark clouds hung over the forest, spouting hail. Aragorn felt the ice hit his skin, and he hissed in pain.
"Come on!" cried Legolas, through the blinding rain. "I know a cave close by!"
Taking his slender hand Aragorn ran behind Legolas, and soon they reached a clearing with tall rock walls hiding it from the rest of the forest. Thunder sounded, making them nervous.
"Yes," said Legolas, but Aragorn could barley hear him. "Here it is!" He led Aragorn into a small dry cave with a bunch of firewood stacked in a corner.
"Alana and I found this cave awhile back," said Leoglas in response to Aragorn's raised eyebrows.
"I can't wait to meet Alana," said Aragorn, as Legolas began to build a fire. "She obviously means a great deal to you."
"She's my best friend. I don't know how I'd get through the day without her." Legolas said all of this without taking his eyes off of Aragorn.
A sudden flash of light and loud crack made them both yell. A large oak tree that had been struck by lightning was blocking the entrance to the cave.
"Shit!" yelled Legolas running over and trying to find a way out. "We're trapped!"
"We can fix that later! Just help me put out the fire before we choke to death!"
Within fifteen minuets they stood, panting, in total darkness. But at least now they could breathe properly.
"It's no use!" cried Legolas kicking the tree. "There's no way out!"
"Well then we'll have to stay here for the night," said Aragorn from the side of the cave.
"You're right," said Legolas, calming down a bit. He tried to walk over to where Aragorn sat but instead he fell on top of him after tripping on a rock.
Blushing Legolas tried to get up, but Aragorn pulled him back down. "Aragorn…" whispered Legolas. "What are you doing?"
"Exactly what you want me too," replied Aragorn softly. His arms encircled Legolas's slim waist before he pushed his lips to the elf's.
Legolas's eyes flew open in surprise as he felt Aragorn's lips on his own. "Aragorn," he tried to say, but when he opened his mouth Aragorn slid his tongue into it. Moaning slightly, Legolas responded by exploring Aragorn's mouth with his own tongue.
Panting for breath, Legolas pulled away from the kiss. "Did you enjoy that as much as I did?" asked Aragorn, while running his lips over the tip of Legolas's pointed ear. Feeling dizzy Legolas nodded.
"Good," said Aragorn, before seizing Leoglas's soft lips again.

"Prince Legolas, are you alright?" These were the words Legolas woke up to. He screamed softly when he realized he was lying in Aragorn's arms. Moving away he said, "Yes, I'm fine!"
"Great," said an elvish voice. "Your father was worried sick about you."
"Don't listen to Haldir, Legolas," came Alana's voice. "I was worried. Good thing I remembered this cave here. Don't worry, we'll have you out soon!"
Legolas now done listening to his best friend, remembered who was in the cave with him. Aragorn began to wake, and Legolas wondered…Did Aragorn really like him? Or was it just because he was beautiful. Legolas knew he was considered beautiful among elves, but he needed to know…
"Good morning," said Aragorn sweetly, moving closer to Legolas.
"Not now!" hissed Legolas as sunlight flooded into the cave. Squinting he and Aragorn walked out and were immanently surrounded by chattering elves.
"Oh god, Legolas, don't scare me like that again!" cried Alana hugging him. Her smile instantly vanished when she saw the bruises on his face. "Shit," she whispered, gently touching his cheek. Now that Legolas thought about it, they really did hurt.
"Come on, we'll go back and fix you up." Grinning at her Legolas draped his arm over her shoulders.
"What would I do without you?" he whispered. Behind them, Aragorn scowled.
