DISCLAIMER: They are not mine, you know it.

Author Notes:.  Thanks for the wonderful reviews!!! All who did it will have a very good

Karma ^_^ . English is not my mother language, sorry for the mistakes. And I forgot to say, but it's clear, that elves have nothing against homosexuality. And incest is not seen like a sin, although is not common. Love is love after all, don't you think? Anyway here is not specifically said if Legolas, Elladan and Elrohir are lovers. I haven't said if they are just friends either... it's still a mystery, so keep reading.

PLEASE REVIEW I will really appreciate it. If you are a fanfic writer you know what a review means. So please do it.

Chapter II

            It was dawn when the princes went to the stables to check on their horses. The weather was cold and the sky cloudy. Because it was too early, they were almost the only ones who were awake. Almost...

"Are you leaving already?"

"Estel! How polite you are, you have come to say goodbye" Elladan said sarcastically

"Waking up at this hour and with this weather." Elrohir agreed nodding. "But you shouldn't bothered, we are having breakfast first"  Estel frowned and stood in the middle of the entrance blocking the exit

"You are not leaving until you had answered my question"

"Question? What question my friend? We haven't seen you long ago. Five months if I'm correct" Legolas, who was petting his horse, turned to see him with puzzled eyes. Estel could have sworn that deep in those eyes where a hint of impish knowledge

"Come on! You know what I'm talking about. The question I've been asking you since I was five!" The human was starting to get very annoyed, as always he asked "the question". No need to said, the three elves always enjoyed his annoyance.

"Oh! That question."

"So... Are you going to answer? Are you three lovers?" Estel asked enthusiastically

"Maybe or maybe not. It could be possible, but it could be impossible too. We can be or we can not" Elrhoir said seriuosly "The world might never know" He finished with a grin. Elladan and Legolas chuckled.

"AHHHHHH!" Estel shouted frustrated " You three are impossible"

"So say most of the elves" Legolas agreed proudly. The three brothers sweatdroped

"It wasn't a compliment!" Estel was almost collapsing.

"Don't you think it's too early for shouting? All Rivendell is awake now. Anyway, you better go and take breakfast now, if you don't want to lose time"

"Glorfindel! Good morning. We were talking with Estel about the mysteries of life" Legolas said making a little bow respectfully. Estel sweatdroped " But as you know he is quite... impatient, and he can't accept that in this world are mysteries that always will be unknown"  Now Estel was red trying hard to not shout again and the twins were choking for holding their laugher. Glorfindel looked at them puzzled and turned to see Legolas ,who was already heading to the exit, now that Estel wasn't blocking it, with all the elegance and calm self  he was characteristic of.

"Well Estel, you have to admit that there are answers that we just can't know" Glorfindel said seen an opportunity to teach a lesson. He always did it, and the princes knew, this was the perfect way of evading Estel's question because once the older elf started talking nobody was able to stop him until he feel that the "student" had comprehended  the lesson, and that took many hours, by the time Glorfindel had finished, they will have already left. "Like why is evil present? Or Is there a way to defeat it completely? Or..." Estel rolled his eyes following the elves to Elrond's house. 

"Or Are my brothers and best friend lovers? Elladan whispered when he passed next to him, then he ran as fast as he could

"Elladan!" and ignoring a talking Glorfindel, he ran after his brother

"Estel, I'm talking to you! I can't believe that you make the serious and polite Estel misbehave. You are impossible!" and with that Glorfindel ran after Estel

"That's the second time we are called that and we woke up only two hours ago" Legolas pointed

"I think is a new record" Elrohir agreed, and they continued walking peacefully toward the house

            *****

            Breakfast had already been served and Elrond was already sited in the large table, lost in his thoughts when he was abruptly taken out of them by a noise that made him tremble "Now what?" he thought, he was going to scold the three people who were running when he lost his words. Glorfindel was yelling something about "respect your elders, specially when they are giving you a priceless leson" to a furious Estel who at the same time was yelling at Elladan something about "You have to answer me" and Elladan was laughing so hard that he was without breath.

"Could you stop it?" Elrond asked calm and politely. The mess continued. "That's enough" He said again a little louder. The mess continued. "I'D SAID STOP!!!" he shouted lose all control. Little locks of hair were loosed and he was breading hardly.

"By Elbereth Father, calm  down, you seem like if you are going to explode" Elrond throw a deadly glance at his son.

"Lord Elrond, please forgive me. I let myself lose control" Glorfindel bowed. Elrond sighed

"I really don't want to know"

"Hey! Where are Legolas and Elrohir?" Estel looked at Elladan

"Behind  you dear brother" Elrohir answered

"Where were you?" The human looked at them suspiciously

"Heading here"

"What took you so long?

"We weren't running like possessed"

"you were doing something!"

"Like what?"

"I don't know, you tell me"

"What?"

"What you were doing?"

"Heading here"

"I quit" throwing his hand up he sited. Legolas and Elrohir grinned

"Let's have breakfast" Elladan suggested

"Yes, the sooner we eat, the sooner they will go" Glorfindel said teasingly. The three princes pouted

"You are going to miss us, Glorfindel" Elladan said. All this time Estel didn't stop looking at Legolas and Elrohir suspiciously. When Elrond wasn't looking at them, Legolas took his tongue out at Estel, the human only sweatdroped.

*****

"Please take care" Elrond said at Rivendell limits. The three princes were already mounted in their horses and were ready to leave. They nodded

"If, and JUST IF you are in troubles come here, if not, don't show yourselves in a long time"

"Father...." the twins said simultaneously

"We'll see you soon in Mirkwood, Estel. Don't take too long. The soon we are together, the soon we will influence you" Legolas cheerily said. Everyone sweatdroped.

"Legolas, please give this to your father" Elrond gave him a letter, the prince of Mirkwood nodded and smile happily.

"That's why you slept late last night!" Elrohir impishly said

"Oh! Look at the Sun, it's getting late. You must go now" Elrond looked at the sky blushing a little. The three princes chuckled

"Goodbye then" and the three left.

"Father..." Estel turned to looked at Elrond, although they couldn't see the elven princes anymore they stayed there looking at the horizon. The sky was still cloudy and thunders could be heard.

"Yes Estel"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"Are my brothers and Legolas lovers?"

"Estel, there are things you are too young to know" Estel glared at him angry when he realize, then he looked again at the horizon

"You don't know either. Right?"

"Right"

            *****

            When they were far enough  Rivendell, Elladan laughed aloud.

"Estel is going to die of curiosity!"

"I can believe he still tries to know, I mean it's been fourteen years since he first asked" Legolas said grinning

"Yes. I still can remember when he first did it." Elrohir laughed just like his brother had done moments earlier "We almost die for the surprise!"

"Well, it's not very common that a five year old human knows about lovers and that sort of things"

"Elladan is right. But I think he didn't even knew what a "lover" meant. At least not the complete meaning" Legolas pointed

"He must have heard it from either father or Tharanduil, or even Glorfindel"

"Or any other elf. Our... relationship is a mystery since we met. Even our fathers are dying of curiosity"

"You seem to enjoy it a lot Legolas"

"Of course I do! And it will remain like that. Right?"

"Right!" the twins said simultaneously. And all laughed happily.

"Nobody has to know. It's our secret. If we are friends or lovers is our business" Elladan said and Legolas and Elrohir nodded. Then they looked at each other, a total understanding in their eyes. At the horizon, the clouds were darker and the thunders stronger.

TBC...

A/N: Elrond never wants to know anything that concern Legolas and his son's behavior, right? Well, after almost four thousand years dealing with them who can blame him. ^_^  Please
