Pairing: Aragorn/Legolas
Rating: R for language
Summary/Notes: Legolas is totally OOC,though it's not exactly AU. Just
to warn you. The fellowship is having a hard time with spoiled prince
Legolas. Could Aragorn change him?
Disclaimers: Legolas,Aragorn or any character here don't belong to me!
No infringement is intended.
The fellowship was preparing to leave Rivendell. The hobbits were talking
to Gandalf,who was trying to prepare the young little ones to the
difficult task they had. Frodo was afraid,but knew he had to be the
ringbearer.
Gimli was standing next to Legolas and they exchanged enraged looks.
*Stupid dwarf!* thought Legolas.
*This arrogant elf!* were the thoughts of Gimli.
Just minutes before they left,Elrond reached Aragorn and asked for a
word in private.
"Can you follow me Aragorn?"
"Sure,Master Elrond."
They went to a place no one could hear them,and Elrond said:
"I'd like to ask you just one thing. Keep your eyes on Legolas. You know
I don't trust him."
"Master.",Aragorn decided to tell what he thought. "I can't see any evil
on him. He's just spoiled and stubborn. I don't think he may cause any
major trouble to our fellowship. But if it's your wish,I'll keep an eye
on him."
"Please do it,Aragorn. I hope you're right,but let us not risk it. It is
a difficult task we have. Our lives are involved with it. So,we cannot
let a young prince ruin anything."
"I will do it,Master. I won't let anything ruin our task."
"Maybe you can teach him something. Show him that the world is not only
him. And that this task is very dangerous,and he cannot ruin it with his
enormous ego. You are older than him,and you are king,and he knows that.
He will respect and listen to you."
"I will do it.",promised Aragorn.
They said farewell,and so the fellowship could leave.
---
Days passed and the fellowship had already fought many orcs,and other
things. But what was troubling them the most by that time was the way
Legolas behave. Everything was a reason for him to complain and to try
to give orders just like he did on his castle. Once Boromir couldn't
stand him anymore,and said:
"Why don't you follow the exemple of Aragorn? He's a king and it's not
because of this he is trying to give orders to us! You are just a prince,
for God's sake!"
Gimli was really becoming furious with the passing days. He was predicting
he would slap Legolas on the face because he wasn't standing him anymore.
Frodo and the hobbits were calmer because their nature was like this,
but they were irritated as well. And just ignored Legolas. Gandalf,the
wizard,tried to understand the prince's reasons,but found no wish to
talk to him. Actually,Legolas was with them,but had no friends. He
wandered alone,and tried to convince himself he was OK with that. All
those guys were nothing to him.
Nothing...they were all nothing,except for Aragorn. Legolas admired him.
He just couldn't give orders to him. He respected Aragorn immensely,his
status and his bravery. And Aragorn was the only one who talked to him
friendly,though they weren't friends. While all the others talked to him
coldly,Aragorn was always warm and friendly. And Legolas noticed that
it wasn't only with him,but with them all. It was Aragorn's nature to be
friendly. And Legolas who was so sure of himself while screaming and
complaining to the others,just felt...small beside Aragorn.
"We have to camp here.",Aragorn talked to Legolas. "Will you help me?"
"Sure.",replied Legolas.
They camped another time. Legolas was becoming really tired of all that,
and tried to relax himself bugging the other guys.
The journey continued and Legolas was even more unbereable,on the opinion
of Gimli. When he couldn't stand him anymore,he slapped his face.
"Your arrogant prick. Who do you think you are? Fuck!"
"Go to hell,dwarf! You're a piece of shit!"
And they started to dwell. Aragorn,Boromir and Gandalf wasn't there. They
were looking for something to eat. And the hobbits started to feel very
worried.
"Aragorn!",shouted Frodo.
"Gandalf!",was the screaming of Sam.
The three of them returned and saw the dwarf and the elf dwelling. Aragorn
held Legolas while Gandalf held Gimli. Boromir felt very irritated. He
talked,pointing a finger to Legolas:
"Look,your arrogant elf. You are only causing trouble here! We have an
important task to do,and you are only delaying it with your arrogance.
Why don't you come back from where you came?",he spatted.
"And who do you think you are to try to make me go back? Who do you
think you are to talk to me in this way? You have no right to give me
orders.",said arrogantly.
"And you think *you* have this right? Look,if we fail this task because
of you,I will...",Boromir was talking when Aragorn interrupted.
"Enough,Boromir.",and he turned to Legolas. "Please Legolas,calm down."
Legolas turned away and left to the river,irritated.
"Oh my God,what can we do with this elf?",Gandalf asked,worried. "Boromir
is right,Aragorn. He's only causing trouble."
"I will talk to him,Gandalf.",said Aragorn. "I should have done it earlier.
Elrond asked me to do it. And I will."
"He respects you,Aragorn.",observed Boromir. "You are the only one he
respects here. Even Gandalf,who's the wizard,this son of a bitch doesn't
respect."
Aragorn couldn't tell why,but felt something good in his heart when he
heard Boromir's words. He was right. Aragorn hadn't realized it alone,
but when Boromir said,he realized that he was the only one on the
fellowship that Legolas respected. And felt even more that he had to
talk to the elf.
*I like him. Although I can't tell exactly why. He reminds me of
something I always wished to be. I've always wanted to be a little more
aggressive. I'm very calm,and it's good for a lot of things,but at the
same time I usually don't know how to fight for the things I believe. I
fight for people's needs,for fellowships,for my friends. But what about
me?*,Aragorn thought.
That was why Aragorn admired Legolas. The same admiration the elf had
for him,he had for the elf.
---
The next day,Aragorn reached Legolas while he was going to take a walk.
It was late at night,and the others were asleep. Legolas couldn't sleep,
and Aragorn couldn't either. So,he decided he had to talk to the elf:
"Legolas."
Legolas turned around and greeted Aragorn.
"Going for a walk?",the king asked.
"Yes.",replied Legolas. "Couldn't sleep."
"Me either. Can I go with you?"
"Sure.",Legolas replied,smiling.
They walked together and Aragorn could watch Legolas more carefully. He
was beautiful,that elf! His long blond hair,his eyes which seemed
sparkling stars,his skin that seemed so soft...Aragorn tried to stop
those thoughts to start talking about what he had to.
"Legolas,I have to talk to you."
"Sure Aragorn,what is it?"
"You know,Boromir and Gimli are really irritated with you."
Legolas fell silent. He wanted to complain and say they were the ones
to make anyone irritated,but respected Aragorn and didn't yell at him.
"Gimli slapped me. That was why I reacted that way. It wasn't my fault."
"I know yesterday wasn't your fault alone,Legolas.",Aragorn said,and
Legolas had his eyes wide open:
"Really? Won't you blame me like everyone else?"
"No. Why should I do it? It wouldn't be fair. But do you know why people
blame you alone,even if you're not the one to blame?"
"Because they are envious."
Aragorn smiled. Legolas seemed like a child. But he couldn't feel angry
with him. He liked the elf.
"No,Legolas.",Aragorn replied. "Because you don't have good relations
with them."
"And they don't have good relations with me,Aragorn!"
"Sure. It's not your fault alone. But sometimes you act in a way people
feel disminished,and small beside you. Of course they will get angry."
Legolas sighed. He knew Aragorn was right. But wouldn't say it.
"You know,I admire you."
Legolas again had his eyes wide open. He couldn't believe the future
king of Gondor admired him while everyone seemed to hate him.
"Really?"
"Sure. I'd like to be a little more aggressive than I am. But just a
little bit.",he smiled again. And Legolas found his smile so attractive...
"I admire you as well. You're the only one here who treats me well."
"That's because of what I told you. If you try to change your behaviour
just a little bit,you'll see Boromir and Gimli will be friendlier with
you."
"I don't need them.",said Legolas,coldly this time.
"Of course you need,Legolas. We all need each other here because we have
an important task to do. And we always need other people in our lives.
Would you like to live alone?"
"No. Of course not."
"Don't you like getting attention of people?"
"Sure!"
"So,Legolas,we have to make an effort to have good relations with them.
If we don't have it,we can end up all alone."
Legolas said nothing. Aragorn had made him think. He surely didn't want
to be alone.
Aragorn thought about one thing and said:
"Aren't you aggressive? Why don't you use it for useful things? I mean,
to fight for the things you want? And when I mean fight for what you
want I don't mean to slap or to kick or anything just to get what you
want."
"I understand.",Legolas said."But how can I do it?"
"Just try.",asked Aragorn. "You'll know how to do it. Try to be calmer
and direct your anger to important things."
They went back to where they were camped. Legolas went to sleep but
couldn't. Yeah,he surely liked Aragorn a lot. And he was going to think
of what he had said.
Aragorn went to sleep too,and slept as an angel.
A/N: please review!
