Chapter 1: Love Blooms

-----FLASHBACK-----

He concentrated on his target as he let go of his arrow. *Ping! * Perfect aim, perfect shot. That was how the youngest Prince of Mirkwood held himself. Always perfect. Never a falter in his graceful step.

*Clap!Clap! * A man came out from behind the bushes.

'Aragorn. It's been a while "friend"' Legolas said turning around. His once perfect rhythm beating of his heart increased as he took in the sight of his friend.

'Aye… so it has' said Aragorn approaching Legolas. He pulled his friend into a big hug before letting go. And they stood there staring at each other for the longest time still in each other's arms.

He is so beautiful yet not in a feminine way. There is nothing feminine about him. His toned, muscled body from years of being a warrior to the set jaw, angular face. No, not feminine yet still beautiful. Aragorn has yet to see one so fair as Legolas and the elf belonged to him. His Elf. Yes, thought Aragorn, his elf. How Legolas would chose a human lover was beyond him but he was overjoyed that Legolas chose him.

Aragorn. Crowned Prince of Gonder. Sturdy, muscled, gentle, and noble. His father had warned him about humans and their evil ways yet Legolas could see no evil in Aragorn. No, Aragorn is noble in his ways and very handsome and brave. Aragorn stole his heart the minute he laid eyes on the Man not so long ago. And since then they've shared many intimate moments together whenever they were allowed to travel out of their kingdoms.

'I've missed you' said Aragorn huskily. He pulled Legolas closer to him and kissed him passionately on the lips. Claiming his Elf once again. He probed the Elf's mouth until Legolas had to come up for air.

'and I've missed you too' panted Legolas. 'but I'd rather you show me how much you've missed me than tell me' said Legolas slyly.

Aragorn arched his eyebrow for Legolas was never one to be so forthcoming in his desires. 'I like this new you' said Aragorn before he proceeded to rid Legolas of his tunic and to show how much he desired and missed the Elf.

They probed and explored each other as if they were new lovers making love for the first time. Soon they pleasured each other to new heights.

'hmmm' sighed Legolas as he rested in the arms of his lover. 'I wish we could see each other more. Must we keep our relationship a secret forever?'

Aragorn ran his hands through the silky long hair of his lover as he thought about the question. 'I wish we can but you know the people of Gondor would not be especially pleased to learn of us. I am the crowned prince after all.' He kissed his lover's forehead. 'I fear for your safety once our relationship is known.'

'Aye.. I know, though sometimes I don't understand you humans. One can not control the heart. Once it has chosen there is no reason or explanation why.' Legolas sighed. It pained him that he must keep his love for the Man a secret. He sees how the maidens of Gonder fawn over the Aragorn. Though he trusts Aragorn, there is still a small part of him that feels jealous.

'Legolas …' Aragorn saw the pain in his lovers eyes. 'you know I love only you.'

'Aye..so what has brought you here to Mirkwood?' Legolas asked changing the subject.

'Well, aside from visiting a beautiful Elf. I'm sure you've received an invitation from Lord Elrond?' asked Aragorn as he started getting dressed.

'Aye I have. He is holding a festival for his daughter the Lady Arwen for her becoming of age' said Legolas. 'But I still don't see…' He was silenced by a breathtaking kiss.

'Well I decided that why not first come to Mirkwood and then we can travel together to Rivendell' said Aragorn claiming the Elf's lips once more.
