Oh I didn't mention it before but Flamers are hilarious. They fuel me so don't bother. If you don't like slash then why are you reading something that says it's a guy pairing.
Willow mist - thanks for the review. Aragorn will go back into character later. But I just needed a bad guy. He won't always be. I'm moving on with bad guys soon.
Keira Greenleaf - hope you like the rest of the story.
Here goes..
"I love you." Boromir stuttered. A furious blush crept up his face.
"What?" Aragorn asked. Startled by his friends words.
"Erm.. I love you" This was a very bad idea he should never have opened his mouth. He had ruined everything. He was a stupid man.
"You love me?" Aragorn was confused. Sure he had thought about Boromir on the trip and had a good few thoughts but he never had really thought about getting with the man. He was so caught up with the elf that he never wanted to. But now he thought about it maybe he did want the man. He would have to think it over.
"Can you give me some time to think?"
"No, no you don't have to decide or anything. I don't expect you to be with me. I know you love Legolas I just thought that ... You should know how I feel" Boromir stood up and fled from the clearing.
Now Aragorn was confused. He was getting over the fact that Legolas had rejected him. He did like the man but he just didn't know. He got up and walked back to his quarters. He was going to have to sleep on it.
Legolas and Haldir's Quarters..
After several hours of love making Legolas lay in his lovers arms. Haldir was twirling a few strands of Legolas's hair. Happy that the stunning elf was back in his arms. He knew that Legolas would leave soon to finish the quest. But he was no longer afraid of losing Legolas to Aragorn.
Legolas stirred and looked up at Haldir. He felt that he was complete. They lay like that till morning, then they decided to get up and have breakfast with everyone else.
When they got to the mess area they found all the company there. The hobbits were all very cheerful at having a decent breakfast for once, and lots of it. Gimli was sitting with the hobbits but was rather tense. He had never been around this many elves without his own kin before, He was frightened that the elves would hurt him. The men sat together but did not talk to each other. Legolas noticed this but thought nothing of it. Haldir also noticed the slight tension between the men, but didn't really care. He didn't like Aragorn very much.
Legolas and Haldir sat with Haldir's brothers. They both smiled when the couple sat down and kissed lightly. They were happy to see the two together again. They didn't want Haldir sharing with them. They loved their brother but he had a bad temper and no doubt several of their possessions would be damaged during his stay.
"So you made up then?" Asked an amused Rumil
"Yes, Several times." Replied Haldir
"I don't think we needed to know that brother." Orophin replied.
"well we are happy now."
Boromir couldn't take the tension anymore. He got up and left. But when he reached the table where the four elves sat he stopped before Legolas.
"The lady asked me to inform you that we will leave tomorrow. She discussed it with Aragorn this morning and he told us. She will see us all before we go." Boromir left as soon as he told the elf the news. He felt sorry for the two lovers. They were to be parted after only two days. But he had his own problems to worry about. Aragorn would not even speak to him. He decided that he was going to go for a long walk.
"You are leaving so soon. I didn't expect for you to leave for at least a week." Haldir said. The disappointment very badly hidden.
"I'm sorry."
"You have no reason to be. Come let us make this day be an unforgettable one." Haldir said. Having some rather unforgettable ideas on his mind.
Legolas stood up and walked away, Haldir following right behind him.
The next day
Haldir kissed Legolas one last time in their home. They walked hand in hand to the riverside and both waited for the lord and lady. They kissed softly before Legolas climbed into a boat. The lady had given the Fellowship each a gift. Legolas was ecstatic with his new bow. It was just like Haldir's. each time he looked upon the bow he would think of his lover.
Aragorn was first on the boats. His mind had been racing since his encounter with Boromir. He was fast becoming attracted with the man. He liked it. But feared what the man would now think. He watched Haldir and Legolas part. He felt sorry for the two, but was happy that he at least had his love with him. Wait. Did he just say love? Yes. He loved the man. He would confess his love the first chance he had. He stole a glance towards the man. He felt his heart crush when he saw the look of sadness in his eyes. But he vowed to turn that look into a look of pure happiness.
"Goodbye. I will see you soon." Haldir whispered. Tears threatening to spill down his face.
"Yes. See you soon. I look forward to the day with longing. Goodbye" Legolas said. His resolve crumbling.
They started to pull out of the shore. The Lady of the wood standing apart from the rest of the elves. She stayed there until the boats were out of sight. The only other there was Haldir.
"The next time you meet, will be the real decider on your relationship. It matters not about today. If you can stay strong through the meeting, you will last forever."
"Will Aragorn ruin it? Will he try to take Legolas away?"
"Nay, not Aragorn, He will not be a factor. It will be your life that will decide your fate. If you survive then your relationship will. No matter who gets in your way, the two of you will be together."
"I am going to die." Haldir stuttered.
"It may come to pass. But do not worry. It is only a small possibility. You know though if you die. He will still love you. He always will."
"Yes, my lady. Will you please excuse me? I must get back to my duties." With that he left. But five minutes later, after Galadriel left. He returned to watch the river. He wished so much that he could follow his heart down that river. For Legolas now held it, wherever Legolas goes his heart would follow.
Tbc....
Well how do you all like it? I won't get to update until next weekend. Oh and I am taking liberties with this plot. So don't expect Haldir to die. Thanks for reading this.
