***************************************************************************
Legolas' POV
I wasn't able to force that smile off of my face. When I thought I could, one look at Aragorn made me smile even wider and I really thought that if I would not stop smiling, my lips would visit my ears somehow.
"What is the matter you are so happy?" Gimli asked me with his grumpy voice.
"I'm just happy…" I answered and I bet I had a dreamy look on my face.
The dwarf must have seen it too because he loudly laughed and then shook his head.
"Hey why are you laughing, dwarf," I said imitating his tone. Gimli and me always were in a fight but they were not those of a bad nature, no they were just there to lighten up the mood of the others and to tell the truth; I really was now in the full 'make Gimli angry' mood.
"I am laughing at your childishness. Weren't 2931 years enough for you to grow up?" he returned drawing the first snickers from the Hobbits mouths. "Well at least I do not look my age unlike someone else…" I remarked throwing a quick but meaningful glance in his direction. Okay I guess that was a bit too cruel but the dwarf wanted it. Even Boromir and Aragorn were now quietly laughing, encouraging me further.
"Watch your mouth pretty boy!" he got up and stood right in front of me. I for myself got up too and looked down. "What are you going to do if I do NOT shut my mouth" I spoke really slowly as if he would not get the point if I would say it faster. "I'm going to throw you into the fire of Mount Doom together with the Ring!" he angrily grumbled while I grinned because I instinctively knew that he had lost the battle.
"You would not," I eventually stated. Gimli face flushed causing me to smile even wider. Oh how I cherished those moments. "I will!" he said as his eyes tore into mine. "Okay stop the bickering!" Aragorn stepped in but I could not just stop right there.
"You will never, because such a weak and tiny dwarf like you will never be able to lift me up!" Before I knew what was going on, Gimli draped me over his shoulder and was heading for the river we camped nearby. I gave out a yelp of surprise as he dragged me away while the others looked bewildered. They did not know if this was just a joke, or if Gimli really intended to carry me all the way to Mordor to throw me into the hell fire.
"Let me go" I struggled but to no use. Damn did that dwarf have strength and besides that I was too busy to laugh, then to really help myself. "Hey this is not funny elf! I am trying to scare you" Gimli chuckled. "Gimli lemme go" I spat out between laughter.
"Nay! Not before I get my revenge!" he said quickening his pace. "And that would be?" My Question was quickly answered when he tried to throw me into the river.
He yelped when I held onto him for dear life. It was hilarious, as everything seemed to be in slow motion. Gimli swayed before he finally lost his balance and we both fell into the river.
Cold water surrounded me and I quickly reached for the surface. I instantly felt better when the warm night air laid its breath upon me.
The time Gimli surfaced, the others had already gathered on the place we stood moments before.
Gimli glared daggers at me when I splashed him with the cold liquid. Seeing that this was indeed just a joke, everyone sighed in relief before beginning to laugh. Pippin laughed so hard he accidentally tripped over a rock and fell into the river right next to me. My hand darted under the surface and I quickly drew him back up.
"That is cold" he whined, setting the others off even more. "Lets get out," Gimli said while I nodded in agreement.
***************************************************************************
Aragorn's POV
Within moments, 3 soaked figures stood before me. I could not help it but they really looked hilarious, except for Legolas who never looked any cuter as the wet tangles of his hair clung to his shining face.
"What did I told you about laughing and standing near rivers?" Merry scolded Pippin who only shrugged in return and hurriedly ran back to the camp, to warm himself by the fire they had set up earlier.
"Hey Mister Wet come back! I am not finished with you!" Merry ran after Pippin cursing.
We looked at each other for a few moments before bursting out into laughter once more. "Come on lets get back love before you get a cold" I took Legolas' hand and nearly dragged him back to the camp. "Elves do not get sick!" he stated in an angry tone that seemed to say: 'don't play the mother hen'. "Okay you can now switch the 'make everyone angry' mode out," I snickered.
He blushed and smiled again. "Sorry that was just so much fun and I was wondering what you would do to me if I would dare to make you angry" he teased. "Well I think I would not throw you into that river" I answered smirking.
"What then" he asked, placing his long slender arm around my waist. "Let's see" I winked at him as we reached the fire.
He sat down next to me and I draped my cloak over his wet form. "Thank you" he said leaning his head onto my shoulder. This was a moment full of peace and happiness. A moment I would always cherish, as it would be rare in this journey.
Frodo was looking at me smiling, while he silently inched closer to Sam. Merry for once was quiet as Pippin glared daggers at him, for telling him that his silly acting would get him into trouble. "You know…" Merry began again as if he had read my mind.
Pippin only rolled his eyes and laid back. "Hey Pippin! Do not fall asleep on me! I am not finished with you!" he said but Pippin interrupted him. "Yes you are! You have been talking about this since an hour without stopping!" I couldn't help but laugh at the childishness they represented.
***************************************************************************
Legolas POV
I smirked and cuddled more into my love. "Already exhausted, elf?" Gimli teased from the opposite of the fire. "No never! Ready for round 2???" I knew his pride was a little hurt but hey it was his fault in the first place. I suddenly began to laugh, startling everybody.
"Why you laughing, elf???" Gimli said while rolling his eyes. "Because you look like a wet sheep!" I think I never laughed so hard in my live. "Owww my belly hurts!" I giggled. Aragorn drew me nearer to him when Gimli's hand began to slowly creep towards his axe.
"We all should rest now because tomorrow we will climb up the Caradhras!" Gandalf stated. "I will take first watch!" Boromir offered quickly. When I looked at him I realised how much the dark caressed his body as if he was one with it.
I shrugged that thought off as it was none of my concern and I was pretty exhausted so my mind could be playing pranks on me. "Sleep now love" Aragorn murmured into my ear while drawing circles trough my long hair. I relaxed as he took me in his arms and soon I felt sleep overtake me.
***************************************************************************
As Legolas slept peacefully in his lover's arms, Boromir held watch. His mind was far away as the ring spoke to him. It was slowly overtaking his mind, as the precious thing made the promises he always wanted to hear. "You will get power and honour! You will be able to save your people…," it whispered to him "You will get everything from me, everything you have craved for so long" it enchanted his whole being with those passionate words.
"What do I have to do" he heard himself speak those doomed words. "Get me away from the Hobbits hands and put me onto the elf's finger…" His mind was too enchanted to resist or even to notice the strange order. He slowly crept to the sleeping form off the ring bearer. The ring seemed to reach out for him as it fell out of the brave Hobbits pocket.
When he was just about to take the ring into his hand, Legolas stirred in his sleep causing him to jolt out of the spell. He quickly retreated into the shadows as his eyes filled with tears. What was he doing? He could never betray his friends!
Boromir sat down on a fallen tree trunk, lost in his thoughts, which were still dizzy from the spell; the ring had laid upon him. He needed the ring and the ring needed him and the ring needed…."Legolas" he whispered. He realised that Legolas was in great danger. Boromir got up to tell Gandalf but stopped in midst-way. He could not tell them that the ring had gained so much power over him.
He just could not. As of now his mind was not all overtaken by the great evil but when he gave in, would not only be Legolas and himself in danger no, whole middle-earth would fall into eternal darkness.
His heart sank into a void and a great burden placed itself onto his shoulders. Was this his destiny? To betray the fellowship and free the evil again? Boromir sighed. Why had he joined the Fellowship at all? Again tears threatened to spill from his eyes as all hope drained out of him. No he would fight he would not give in! He liked the elf and all his friends far too much to be consumed by the ring. The last reminders of the once strong hope were stirring in him again.
Little did the man know that Sauron himself, who sat in his chamber alone, manipulated him. The darkness surrounding him like air.
"I knew that he would be so easy to manipulate as he is by far the weakest link in the Fellowship." The pure evil said to himself as he watched the man trough his shining globe.
"Now my precious will you not only bring me the ring, no you will also return my pet to his real home as well!" he marvelled at the glowing orb as it showed the sleeping form of the fair elven prince. "Soon" Sauron growled before the orb went black and the room fell into darkness again.
