Dinner was over in about 45 minutes, and Aragorn was chosen to be first watch with Gimli being second. The others went though their packs and the few packs on the horse, making note of what was needed, and then listed it by what was needed the most. After that, everyone, except Aragorn went to sleep. Or at least tried to…
Legolas couldn't sleep. He'd been trying for, Legolas thought for a minute, coming on two hours now. Legolas sat up, pushing the blanket off, and stood up. The reason why he couldn't sleep was still awake and keeping watch.
"Well, if I can't sleep, I may as well keep Aragorn company." he thought. Legolas quietly approached Aragorn and coughed softly behind him.
Aragorn turned his head ever so slightly. ~Evening Legolas.~ he said softly.
~Hello Aragorn, may I join you?~ Legolas asked politely.
~Yes.~ Aragorn replied.
Legolas sat next to him on Aragorn's right side.
~Is everything all right Legolas?~
~I'm not quite sure Aragorn. I believe it is, at least now, but I need to be sure first.~
Legolas was sure everything was fine, since he was with Aragorn, but it was better to test his theory first.
Aragorn looked directly at Legolas. ~Are you sure everything is okay?~ he asked again.
Legolas looked back at him. ~Yes. I'm sure.~ he said, the skin on the back of his neck heating up. He quickly looked away, the blush creeping slowly up the back of his throat. What was he thinking, wanting to be with Aragorn? Granted that the gender of the person that they were with at the time didn't matter to elves, it did to humans, and same sex couples, while they happened were, frowned upon. Legolas sighed softly as his heart and mind did battle yet again. Aragorn tapped his hand and Legolas jumped.
"That's the second time you've jumped tonight." Aragorn commented. "Tell me what's wrong."
The elf prince noticed the change in language and wondered briefly if it was safe to talk in the common tongue. Why not? The rest of the Fellowship was sleep and there was no one else for miles around.
