Chapter IV

The Love of Three

            Legolas was the first to wake up. He found himself between Elladan and Elrhoir, who were hugging him in a tight embrace; moving carefully he manage to pull himself away the twins without waking them, automatically the Noldor elves found each other and got closer. Legolas smiled and walk a few steps away; he has known about their relationship since he met them.

            The morning was, as always in Rivendel, beautiful. The sound of the water from the falls made everything peaceful, and the leafs of the trees where dancing with the wind. It was early, so the dew was still fresh and shone with the light of the Sun. Legolas stood next to a trunk admiring all the sight

"Beautiful as it is, I still prefer the night" he whispered. He sighed deep remembering the past events. He wasn't awake at all at the last part of the conversation with the twins, but in the mist that precede the sleep he remembering gentle laughing and..."We love you" . The elf prince froze, had it being a dream? Can it be reality? He was in love with the twins, with both of them, but he had always doubt that someone, less of them the sons of Elrond, will be in love with him.

He was going to sigh, but instead he gasped when two arms embraced him from behind, he turned around to see Elladan smiling at him with eyes closed

"Good morning" said the older twin

"G-good morning" Legolas really caught his breath, Elladan and Elrhoir had always embraced him as friends, but after those words...

"Morning!" a cheerful shout made Elladan chuckled, as he turned to see his younger brother approach

"How is your injure?" Legolas asked when the twin was next to them

"Healing already, Nothing to worry about" Legolas smiled with relieve, a long pause followed

"Legolas..." Elladan started

"mm?" Legolas look at him with those beautiful but always-sad eyes

"We... we want to tell you something" The twins looked at each other, and Legolas tensed

"You'll see... last night you were very tired and..." Elrohir really was trying to speak with normality, but it wasn't turning what he wanted and his twin was becoming impatient, but Elladan knew that he couldn't do it better; it was very different when their love was fully awake and had his attention on them. Legolas, on his part, was thinking that the twins were going to retract their loving words of the past night.

"Of course" he thought "After all who can love me? I haven't exactly the most charming personality" The voice of Elladan, who was the one speaking now, cut his thoughts

"I understand" the blond prince said fighting the tears and interrupting the older twin "You don't have to said anything, you were weary and tired too"

"Do you... do you really understand?" Elladan said in shock. They weren't expecting that the always melancholic and mysterious prince accepted so easily the fact that two twin brothers who shared an incestuous love could have feelings for him.

"Of course I do!" Legolas couldn't control the tears anymore, again he was being hurt for the persons he love deeply. The twins exchange puzzled glances, why was he crying then? So bad was their love? Elladan grabbed Legolas' arm stopping him to ran away

"Wait, just wait. We need to talk about this" They had to be sure that Legolas wasn't telling anyone about their incest, for the few elves who knew, although they swore secrecy, despite them already with the exception of Legolas himself .

"There's anything to say! You said something that you didn't feel last night, I understand it, so..."

"What?" The twins said in unison

"You got it wrong!" Elrohir shout, despair consuming his green-gray eyes

"Last night we said that we love you, and we thought that because yesterday you were in pain and almost asleep you didn't heard us" Elladan finished

"Then... you really love me?"

"Really" both twins said tenderly and they got shocked when Legolas smiled at them, for his smile wasn't the same sad and painful smile, but a true one full of joy and hope. With slow movements the three stepped closer, and while Elrohir took the blond elf's hands, Elldan kissed him tenderly. After a few moments Elrohir took his brother's place and kissed the prince more aggressive. At last the twins kissed each other allowing Legolas to catch his breath.

"Then if you had told me earlier, why it was so difficult to tell me now?" Legolas asked when everything was over and they decided to go back Elrond's house

"Because..." And the twins explained him their fears

            *****

            In Elrond's house, The Lord of Imladris was looking very stress at the window, he didn't reacted when Glorfindel entered bringing a tray of food

"You didn't show at breakfast my Lord, so I thought that you will be hungry"

"Thanks Glorfindel, but I am not" Glorfindel nodded but left the tray on a table and approached his friend

"Are you worry for the council? Or for the twins and the prince?"

"Both. The council is starting in a couple of hours, but my sons and Legolas... They didn't arrive last night. Everyone who crossed the young prince's way yesterday said that he was very upset. I'm afraid that he left Rivendel and my sons followed him"

"The little one is no foolish, he wouldn't leave Rivendel just because he was upset. Maybe he is young but he knew that he is needed in this council and he has a very deep sense of responsibility"

"I know, but that's what scares me most. He had been facing all the pain, suffering and responsibility alone, and sooner or later that will brake him"

"Alone? Elladan and Elrohir seems to have a very deep connection with him"

"But the prince haven't notice it. And they don't dare to tell him anything, and that's another thing that worries me; they aren't shy"

"Agree"

"Then, why haven't they told Legolas that they want him to be friends?"

"Maybe one of them love him"

"Or both. I suppose that you have noticed the relation they both share."

"Are you saying that...?"

"Yes my dear and most trustful friend. I have considered the possibility that my sons share an incest love" Glorfindel didn't know what to say, for the elves accepted fully the homosexual relations, but condemned the incest. What would do the lord of Imladris if indeed his sons were sharing a forbidden love?

            *****

Two hours passed without the notice of the young elven princes and Elrond was by now worried and annoyed, for the Mirkwood prince and the twin lords of Imladris really needed to be present at the council, but he couldn't delay it, for the humans and dwarves wouldn't understand and he didn't want to start a war in his own realm.

"Elrond?" Mithrandir said when the lord headed where the council was taking place

"I will try to delay it, so they can make it" the elf lord said turning to see the istari who looked at him sympathetically

"Do you think they will come"

"They will"

"What if they don't?"

"Then I'll send a searching group, for something evil happened to them. They know the importance of this" The old Istari nodded and followed the Lord elf.
