So called friends
~Legolas~
The last few days had been like a dream.
Glorfindel was so gentle and loving and for some time I could forget all I had worried about.
Of course I was a little afraid that his children wouldn't like me. But he could resure me enough.
Two days after I had told him about my feelings he introduced me to his friends. Most of them seemed to be
happy that he had finally found a new love and soon treated me as if they had known me for years.
But another three days later Lord Elrond walked into the room we shared now.
"Good morning you two." He said smiling.
I looked at him sleepily and could tell that Glorfindel did the same.
"What is it?" He asked tiredly.
"Some friends of yours are here." The Elven lord told me.
I was slightly confused.
Which friends could he mean?
I didn't have too many of them. Most of the time my only companions had been my brothers and my father.
There were only three Elves in my age I met sometimes.
But I didn't really like them for they were still pretty childish and I was sure they only talked to me because I was
the prince.
"Who are they?" I asked to be sure.
"Torin, Rilus and Minus."
I had expected that and rolled my eyes.
"What is it? Aren't you happy to see your friends again?" Glorfindel asked, holding me in his arms.
Slowly I shook my head. "They are not my friends. They only want to be with me because my father is the king."
Elrond smiled again. "At least you can greet them. Later we can say that you have no time because of the training."
I nodded and returned the smile.
Suddenly I realized that we hadn't been training for the last few days. We would have to go on with it soon.
As we entered the room the three were waiting they smiled at me. "Hey friend!"
After we had greeted them we all sat down in the living room and talked for about an hour.
In fact the three talked about themselves all the time. It was so boring. I really didn't want to know what silly things
they had done, how many girls they had met and how often they had annoyed their parents.
Glorfindel and I didn't show our love first. He sat down next to me and I could tell that he didn't like them at all.
Suddenly Torin asked about the girls in Imladris.
I looked at Glorfindel, unsure of what to say now. "I'm not really interested in them." I said finally.
"Come on." Minus said. "Tell us about it. Do you have a girl-friend?"
"Not really." I said. "And what else has happened in Mirkwood?" I tried to change the subject.
"He finally has a girl-friend!" Torin laughed. "I already thought you wouldn't be able to find one."
Again I looked at Glorfindel.
I wasn't sure wether I should tell them and was glad that he finally told them. "He has no girl-friend." He smiled at
me. "At least I hope so."
Rilus frowned. "What do you mean?"
This moment I managed to tell them myself. "Glorfindel and I are together."
Silence.
For a few minutes no one said a word.
Suddenly Lord Elrond entered the room.
In this moment Torin, Rilus and Minus stood up. "We should go now." Rilus said simply.
They looked at me and I could see the disgust in their eyes.
Glorfindel took his arm around me protectivly.
"What happened?" Elrond asked as they were gone.
"We told them about us." Glorfindel said and kissed me gently.
Elrond raised an eyebrow. "I thought you didn't them anyway. It shouldn't be too hard for you."
I shrugged. Of course he was right but there was another fear in my heart.
If I had only thought of that before.
"No, I didn't." I sighed. "But now they can tell my father. And that's not the way I wanted him to learn about us."
"Don't worry, dear. We will get through this." Glorfindel was as sympathic as always. "I'm sure your father will
understand in time."
"Yes, but I would have prefered to tell him myself."
"Legolas." Elrond sat down next to me. "Do you truly fear your father's reaction?" As I didn't say anything he
continued. "I knew him for a very long time and even if he can be strict sometimes I know how much he loves
you and your brothers."
I nodded. He was right. I had always known how important I was to my father.
"And you are not the crown prince." Elrond continued. "Only Sirius needs a heir."
Again I nodded.
Glorfindel talked again. "Legolas, your father needs at least two months to come here. Do you want to worry all
the time?" Again he kissed me. "What would you think about continue the training today?"
I knew that he wanted to comfort me and it worked.
"Alright. Let's go."
