**************
A Rude Awakening
**************
It was Haldir who was first to wake the next morning, and what a morning it was!
Haldir was almost blinded, as his eyes became focused once more, by the sunlight in the room. He looked around in wonder - this was not the room he had fallen asleep in, or at least he didn't think it was - it was dark emerald green with leaves of gold on the walls, and the bed he was lying on was quite high off the ground, and so soft! It was a four-poster, but the curtains were not drawn - a pity, that, for the almost see-though white, silky material might have protected his eyes slightly. It was a very beautiful room indeed, yet the beauty did not match the one lying next to him, deep in slumber.
Legolas.
His Legolas.
He propped himself up on his elbow and lovingly brushed a couple of lose strands of hair away from his lover's face. Glazed green eyes stared back at him from a face of great beauty, with skin as white as new snow and a slight smile on blood red lips.
'Why, Legolas, why are you with me? You could have so much better'
Haldir truly believed himself to be ugly. It was the words of Rhoan that had made him believe it; it hadn't been enough to break Haldir, but he had to make sure that Haldir thought so low of himself that for most of his life the young Elf had wished he were dead.
He had grown to accept that he was far from pretty, but at first it had crushed him for he had been a very arrogant and stubborn elf in his youth, so sure of himself and his looks that it used to drive most of the elders mad. Well, those who didn't know him personally.
Not many of the elves had been sorry when he became quiet and withdrawn, thinking it only because he had grown up a bit and lost his childish ways, but with those little quirks he had also lost his childhood, and Haldir had grown up far to soon for his age.
Legolas stirred in his sleep, breaking Haldir from his thoughts, and, by the look of it, just in time.
"Mmmmm, morning little one…oh, what's this?" Legolas asked with concern as he stretched out a hand to wipe away the silvery water that had settled below Haldir's left eye. "What is wrong, little star? Did you have another bad dream?"
At this Haldir turned red. 'Please tell me that I don't scream out at night? Damn these nightmares, torturing my nights and humiliating my days…' he thought, although he did not say as much.
"Nay love, I was just thinking, so let's not worry. Okay? I was just thinking."
Haldir's voice was getting higher and higher as he went along - only slightly, but Legolas heard it and knew Haldir was not speaking the truth.
"Talk to me, Haldir, like you did before, remember? It wasn't that bad was it? Did it not make you feel better?" Legolas said, sitting up. 'Oh gods, there it is again, that damn mask slipping on,' he groaned inwardly as Haldir's face became neutral and not one drop of emotion in his eyes.
"I told you about what happened, what more do you want of me?" Haldir said coldly, narrowing his eyes.
"I want to talk to you Haldir, I mean really talk. I love you, and I know you don't want me to but I want to baby you and smother you with love so that no one could hurt you ever again. I love you so much, my little star."
"Why are you with me?" Haldir asked him suddenly, catching Legolas off guard.
"What?"
"Why are you with me?" he asked again, rolling over so he didn't have to see Legolas' face. "Why are you with me when you could have anyone at all?"
Legolas' face softened; Haldir was getting paranoid again. "Because I don't want just anyone, I want you. I want you, Haldir, I need you, you're so lovely and sweet, and so pretty, I love you so much little star..." he swallowed, "I didn't think love mattered till you came along. It was something else that just happened to other people, but now it matters more than anything to me. I just want to make you happy," he said, lying back down and wrapping his arms around Haldir's waist and pulling him close, putting his face into Haldir's silvery hair and breathing in his unique scent.
"Legolas?"
"What?"
"Love you," he said, turning over in Legolas' arms to kiss him shyly on the lips.
"Love you too," Legolas whispered into Haldir's ear before kissing him passionately, chasing his lover's tongue into the back of his mouth until Haldir forced him back into his own. Legolas had a feeling that he knew Haldir's mouth better than his own.
He moved his hands so that one was at the back of Haldir's head and the other was just on Haldir's rear. Both Haldir's hands were cupping Legolas' backside, pushing Legolas in towards him. Legolas smiled into Haldir's mouth; his angel certainly knew what he wanted and how to go about getting it!
Legolas rolled over so he could be on top of Haldir as his little star beamed up at him. How could he look so naive and innocent even when they where about to make love?
"Legolas, why do you look at me so?" Haldir asked him, putting his head to one side. He knew what his seeming innocence did to Legolas and used it to his advantage.
"Stop it, Haldir, or I may have to ravish you!" said Legolas, clenching his teeth together and wishing very much that he'd taken Haldir's clothes off of him last night.
"Oooooh, is that a promise, dear?" Haldir replied coyly, fluttering his eyelashes. Another grin spread across his face, but it didn't last for long as Legolas ground his hips into Haldir's, letting him feel his desire. Legolas ripped Haldir's shirt off him, tearing the buttons in the process which earned a dirty look from Haldir. He muttered "I'll get you a new one!" before making short work of Haldir's leggings, and then his own.
Haldir's hands came instinctively up to cover his body till Legolas knocked them away.
"Don't cover yourself up, Haldir, you have such a beautiful body. Let me see it, please…" Legolas whispered to him, tracing his hand down Haldir's side and coming to rest at his hip.
"I don't like this, you know I don't like this, let me have something, even just a shirt…"
"You'd make love fully clothed if you could," Legolas sighed, shaking his head. It was true; apart from their first time together Haldir had kept his shirt on or kept Legolas pressed tightly against him so he couldn't be seen.
"Please, Legolas, don't look at me like that, I don't like it…"
"Sorry, angel, I forgot it was a crime to look at my own lover."
Haldir smiled apologetically and put his arm around Legolas' neck to bring him into another breathtaking kiss. "And that's what I am, your lover, so take me and show me what it means to be yours," Haldir whispered, stroking Legolas back and closing his eyes and nuzzling into his neck until Legolas started planting butterfly kisses onto his own instead.
"Yes, you are my lover..."
Kiss.
"...my soul mate..."
Kiss.
"...my partner..."
Kiss.
"...my star..."
Kiss.
"...my heart..."
Haldir whimpered slightly and Legolas looked up to see that he had his eyes closed tight, a flush of arousal on his face. Legolas frowned; all he had done was kiss him and Haldir looked ready to burst! Maybe it was the words he was speaking…
"You're mine, Haldir, and no one else's," he whispered into a pointed ear, and sure enough Haldir moaned and squirmed up against him.
"Stop, stop, I cannot take it!" Haldir cried, opening his eyes slightly to look at Legolas.
"You like that? You like my pretty words?" he whispered again. Haldir nodded violently and gulped, and Legolas smiled for he had found a new way to tease his little star…
"But…but…" Haldir tried to say something, but couldn't catch his breath.
"But what my angel?" Legolas asked him, brushing the hair back from Haldir's forehead where it was clinging.
"They are more than pretty words? Tell me they're more!" he moaned, gasping as he felt a finger slide into him. Legolas' need to be in Haldir was overpowering him; he wouldn't last much longer.
"They are, Haldir, so much more! I mean that with all my heart."
Legolas entered Haldir in one swift motion then gave him time to adjust. As soon as he felt his lover relax he began rocking his hips back and forth, knowing that he wouldn't last much longer; Haldir was still so tight! He moaned loudly and brought his lips crashing down on Haldir's and buried down deeper than before. The little noises that Haldir was making were driving him insane as he felt himself slipping into utter ecstasy.
Legolas lost it as soon as he felt Haldir clamp down on him and soon he collapsed onto his love. Never in his lifetime had he felt so blissfully content but utterly exhausted after sex as he did with Haldir; his little star was absolutely amazing in every way, and Legolas found it thrilling that he was the only one who had ever seen him like that, to see Haldir become completely undone.
Well, almost.
"You two are like bloody rabbits!"
"Oh Elbereth…"
"So this is why you love him! Can't say I blame you, gave me quite a show you did! Lovely thing to see before breakfast, but I'll have to have another dip in the lake now!"
"Curonlas, please…"
"Anyways, came to tell you that Aragorn and Arwen arrived last night, and some other Lorien Elves. His lot, I suppose," Curonlas drawled, nodding his head at Haldir, who had buried his face into Legolas' chest so he couldn't be seen. He was red with embarrassment.
Curonlas grinned at Legolas, who only scowled back at him. "Why didn't you knock?" he snapped, holding Haldir closer in a very protective way.
"I did knock, but you didn't hear me! Having too much fun I suppose… so this is the little Haldir I've heard so much about. I didn't get a good look at you last night." He knelt down so he was level with Haldir. "Morning, little bunny, come out and say hello! You're not shy, are you?" Curonlas was using a very patronising tone with Haldir and Legolas didn't like it.
Haldir very, very slowly turned his head and shyly looked at Legolas' younger brother. Curonlas looked very much like the drawings that Legolas had done, only the air of arrogance he possessed hadn't shown up on the paper.
Curonlas gasped slightly, though Haldir didn't hear it. He was impressed - no, he was really impressed - this Lorien Elf was drop dead gorgeous!
"Very nice, very nice indeed…oh, what a pretty little thing you are, dear boy, very pretty…"
"Mine!" Legolas snapped in a defensive tone.
"Dearest one, you must learn to share! I'm sure there's enough of him to go around…"
"Leave it be, brother..."
"No, really, just, roll off of him a bit and we'll have a little look-see!"
"Back off!" Legolas practically growled. Haldir was obviously hating this; his lover was a shade away from beetroot, his eyes gleaming with unshed tears, and his hands where digging painfully into Legolas' shoulders.
Legolas didn't know what was worst, that Curonlas had walked in on them and was now hitting on his Elf, or that right at that moment, Curonlas reminded him of himself, before he fell in love with Haldir.
Curonlas sighed and stood back up, dusting imaginary dirt from his tunic. "Okay my lovely one, don't get your leggings in a twist! I shall see you later." He swooped down and kissed the top of Legolas' head rather dramatically, and then said in a choked up voice, "I love you so much, my darlings, please, think of your future happiness before starting a family!" which Legolas thought was quite cruel seeing as Curonlas knew he wanted little ones one day and how utterly impossible it would be to have one with Haldir.
Just as Curonlas was about to leave the room he turned around and blew Haldir a kiss. Legolas really did growl; that was all he needed, for his cunning, scheming little brother to be after his little star.
But this one Elf Curonlas would not be getting his hands on, no way.
"Well," he said hugging his angel, "what a positively rude awakening!"
