Close your Eyes Chapter 12

Aragorn had been sitting in his room; he wondered what to do now. He was so angry. 'Had Legolas really tried to kill Eowyn?' Aragorn wasn't attracted to her in the slightest her presence angered him. He heard from Gandalf that she had been saying she wanted him for herself. Aragorn didn't know why he didn't believe Legolas. "I consoled him." Aragorn turned, Haldir stood in the door way. Aragorn turned away. "Legolas was crying on the walls, he was afraid to speak to you. His heart had been taken in different directions." Aragorn's eyes narrowed as he tried to fix them on something in the room. "I told him that he should go to you, I told him that you would understand, but he was afraid. He told me that he loved me Aragorn."

Aragorn turned his eyes, "He loved you?" Haldir stood behind the angry human, "Legolas and I used to share our lives together Aragorn. For centuries we watched the world pass us by. When he told me he loved me I was confused, I could not return these feelings. I knew that his love was not the way it seemed. He had been afraid I was dying and didn't want me to leave him." Aragorn held in his breath then as Haldir continued. "Legolas told me he was afraid, he said his heart was torn. But that he loved you. He was scared of losing you, and I consoled him… I kissed him and told him to go to you. I told him things would be alright." Aragorn turned to Haldir, "Why do you tell me this now?" Haldir's face was like stone, no emotion came into his face, there was no spirit in his eyes.

"Because Legolas would never have told you, not now." Aragorn looked down, "Things have become uncertain Haldir." Haldir nodded, 'That is true my friend, but I suppose we should part ways once again now." Aragorn looked up. Haldir had his hand extended out towards him. Aragorn smiled only a little, as he shook the proud elves hand. "I wish things could go the way we try to steer them." Aragorn nodded, "Good bye my friend." Haldir smiled, "Good journeys to you in the future, perhaps we will meet again some day?" Aragorn nodded, "Perhaps we shall."

Legolas did not even clean his face. He put his things into his leather bag. A wooden comb, his dagger, his leaf brooch and a butterfly made of tied grasses Aragorn had made him. Legolas held his tears in. he refused to cry anymore, he had let more go than he had wanted to. "I suppose this way now he can go back to Arwen." Legolas said aloud, "Unless an elf doesn't suit him." Legolas sighed; he pulled the pack over his shoulder, as he tied on his cloak. Adjusting his quiver and bow. He put his sword over his waist and opened the door. Haldir was standing in the hall. "Are you just going to leave him like this?" he asked, Legolas looked about, refusing to show anymore feeling. "He deserves better than this." Haldir looked at Legolas, "Like Eowyn told me Haldir, Aragorn will never love me the way he could love a woman." Haldir laughed, "Legolas you know that is not true, if you said that of me I would laugh at you. There is no woman for me." Legolas nodded with a forced smile. "I suppose Haldir." Haldir smiled, "are you leaving with me then?' Legolas nodded, "Yes… yes I am."

Haldir nodded, "Alright then, we will leave now. You can change your mind if you want though." Legolas shook his head. "No my mind is made up; Aragorn is no more for me." Haldir sighed, "Very well then let us take our leave then."
