As The Sun Sets On Us
Part 2 - But the Dawn Will Come… And The Sun Will Shine Again
Soon, Legolas and Gimli departed. Aragorn watched them as the two continued with their journey. He watched even as they were only little moving spots on the hills. He could occasionally see Legolas turn to him and wave and whenever he did, Aragorn swore that his heart would skip a beat. The feeling for Legolas was new, but he welcomed it. Soon the two were over the hills, nowhere to be seen. He sighed as he replayed their last conversation. He smiled, almost bitterly but then again, what can he ask for now?
*flashback*
Aragorn watched as Legolas got what little things he had. He was still hatching a plan for him to at least know where Legolas was. Legolas told him of his plans, of how long he planned to stay in one place, and that secured the both of them.
"Be sure to come back to Gondor often."
Leglas smiled. "Yes. But you will have to meet me somewhere else. I don't want others to get suspicious on us."
"Suddenly, your priorities change?"
"No. I just don't want us to be forced to part."
Aragorn go his turn to smile. They embraced each other, shared a kiss and went on to where Gimli was waiting. Just before they left, Legolas pulled Aragorn to him and whispered in a low voice, "So I'll be back in…?"
Aragorn kept the urge to laugh. "Two months, love."
Legolas pulled back and smiled. "I'll see you then! And I'll be thinking of you when the moon rises to the fullest."
*end flashback*

Late at night, Legolas and Gimli camped under a tree. It was the only place to shelter in. Gimli was asleep on his side of the tree, but Legolas was still wide awake. He was looking up at the moon. As he said to Aragorn, he was thinking of him.
'I'll see you in two months.'
Then, he tucked himself in, falling into a dreamless sleep. He didn't know that somewhere, another was thinking of him.
As Aragorn slipped into his bed, Arwen beside him, his last thoughts before being engulfed by slumber was 'I'll see you in two months…'
After two months…
Aragorn sat in the pasture of his land, Gondor. It was still before dawn, and though he knew it was still too early, he patiently stayed there. He waits for a particular individual to come over the hills and rescue him. Though this time, it doesn't involve crossing swords or the flying of arrows.
The morning's sun came up and he still waited. Then, he heard what could've been the most magical sound in the world as he heard the stomping of horses and he looked at the faraway hills. Two dots were slowly approaching where he sat.
In no time, Legolas' shouting could be heard.
"Aragorn! I made it back in lass than a month!"
Aragorn's face showed pure joy. Never had he felt such strong emotions as Legolas neared him. In no time, Legolas finally jumped of his horse and ran toward Aragorn. He was wise to not jump in for an embrace, as many were watching, but Aragorn pulled him in, anyway. Soon, they were once again sharing a long embrace. It lasted until Gimli was off his horse, purposefully coughing at them. Legolas quickly pulled away and Aragorn noticed the slight blush on his face.
"Welcome back, my friends!"
Aragorn let Gimli walk before them. He managed to chuckle and whisper to Legolas.
"I missed you."
"I didn't."
Aragorn gave another low chuckle. Legolas smiled then they realized that Gimli saw them… and must've heard what they said.
All of a sudden, Gimli laughed at them.
"Oh now, hide it all from me!" he said. Then he started waving his hands and in a low voice, said, "Now, do you expect me to believe nothing's happening between… you know. Don't worry, it's a secret… And you there, Aragorn, care to gave me Arwen? Heh! Just kidding!"
Yes, it looks like the sun is shining again for some people in Middle-Earth.
--(the happy) end—
Well, the end's here! I posted this to save myself from emailing it to all who ask for it. So, that's it! My first attempt to write an Aragorn/Legolas fic. Hope you liked it and please review on your way out! :P Sounds like some… fast food thing…
