Chapter III
We love you
Elladan and Elrohir arrived to Rivendel at night, it was very cold and windy. The guards of the borders bowed when they saw them and asked concerned after seeing Elrohir's wound if they need help. The twins politely refused and headed to their house where their father would heal the younger twin.
"By the way" Elladan said before they leave "Does prince Legolas has already arrived?"
"Yes my Lord, he had arrived three days ago" a guard said. Elrohir looked up at his twin, who by the time was almost lifting him, and smiled. Elladan smiled as well, this time the blond prince will know about their feelings
*****
Elrond was in the main hall of his house as well as Estel. The elf lord was looking suspiciously at his human son, even if Aragorn haven't said anything, he knew that something was wrong, it confirm his suspicions when he saw the human limping
"Are you alright Estel?"
"Yes father, why do you ask?"
"You are limping" Elrond pointed, Aragorn looked at his foster father with surprise for he hadn't noticed. Sure his leg was hurting, but he had thought that he was walking normal; he didn't want that Elrond knew about the little discussion he had had with Legolas earlier, and not because of his disobedience, because he remembered the tears on the always melancholic prince
"I..."
"My lord, your sons had arrived. I'm afraid one of them is injured. I don't know who" a servant said helping Aragorn, who sighed with relieve
"I'm coming. We will talk about this later Estel. You are acting strange and I want to know what's the matter"
"Yes father" he knew he will get in problems specially because Legolas have not returned yet.
"That's it Elrohir. Now rest" Elrond said washing his hands on a nearly bowl, the water red with blood
"Thanks father"
"I assume that you will spend the night in your brother's room" the elf lord said looking at his older son. Elladan nodded
"Just in case Elrohir needs something" Elladan said siting on the border of the bed. Elrond smiled, he had always loved the way his two sons acted with each other, like best friends, but the lord had wonder as well if the bond they shared was only brotherly or... he shook his head. Better not to think on that
"Very well. Then I leave you, you must be tired"
"Indeed. Father?" Elrohir asked when Elrond was reaching the door, the older elf turned around
"Where is Legolas?" Elladan finished his twin's question. Elrond frowned
"I don't know. He has been missing since morning. Maybe he is just thinking..."
"It's very late" Elrohir said standing up
"Elrohir, what do you think you are doing?"
"He must have to be here by now. It's very cold outside"
"I will send someone to find him, you two need to rest. You have being hunting those orcs for three weeks without rest"
"Father, please" Elrohir begged "You know him, if something has upset him and if he doesn't want to be find..."
"I know..." Elrond sighed "Go then, but be careful and don't get too long." Both twins nodded and went out, Elladan helping Elrhoir again
"My lord, maybe Prince Legolas needs to be alone" Glorfindel said appearing on the corridor
"No Glorfindel, believe me when I say that the last thing the young one needs now is to be alone"

Legolas didn't realize the passing hours, he just laid there on the cold grass near the waterfalls, tears running from his beautiful and mystical eyes. He didn't notice that the weather was getting colder or that night was covering Rivendell. He just was aware of painful memories of the past, and of that disturbing dream... and he didn't know when he felt asleep.
The twins didn't have to wander to find their friend. They knew him very well, even if the prince hadn't realized. And they knew where his special places where, so they reached the waterfalls quickly
"He is there" Elladan pointed
"I think he felt asleep" Elrohir said when they got closer "He is trembling!"
"Because of the cold, maybe" Elladan said while covering him with his cloak
"Because of the cold AND other things. He has being crying" Elrohir sat next to the prince exhausted
"Are you alright?" Elladan asked concerned
"Sure, I just need rest"
"What...?"
"Legolas!" Both twins said, the prince blinked with confusion
"Where...?"
"Rivendell. Are you awake already?"
"I hope the next question will not be 'who'? Elrhoir said embracing him
"No, I will recognize you two everywhere. But what are you doing here? I thought you were hunting orcs"
"Well, we sensed that you had arrived and we wanted to see you"
"So we killed those creatures and here we are!"
"You are hurt" Legolas said when he saw the clumsy movements of the younger twin
"As always, he was careless" Elladan said sighing dramatically making Legolas chuckled. The shadows of sorrow dissolving as always with the mere presence of the twins
"And you? Elrohir said "You were crying" Legolas gasped
"I wasn't"
"It's alright. You can trust us"
"No, I..." but he stopped when he saw Elladan trembling as he realize that he had his cloak
"No, please keep it" Elladan rushed to stop the prince who's eyes were in anguish
"I can't... You are cold, because of me..." he was starting to breath heavily
"Shhh. It's alright" Elrohir said holding him closer
"Something happened to you. Someone bothered you" it wasn't a question
"It's alright if you don't want to go home. We can stay here if you want"
"We?"
"You aren't thinking that we will leave you here, are you?" Legolas just looked at the two
"Come, if we get closer we will be warmer" the twins hold close the prince, who felt a warmness not only on his body but in his heart. Soon he was embracing the twins too
"Why are you doing this?" he asked falling asleep. Gently identical laughers
"Don't you know?" the twins said at the same time "We love you" maybe it was because the words were spoken with such tenderness and love or maybe because he loved so much the twins, but the fact was that for once in his life, not counting his father, Legolas felt that someone really loved him because of him.
The three were soon peacefully asleep in the arms of the others, the water singing a lullaby.
Far in the sky, the full Moon shone radiant, like if she was full of joy. This will have being normal if she was supposed to be full, but according with a very wise Istari, that night must have being Moonless.
