Disclaimer: I don't make money off this. I don't own anything that Tolkien owns. I just use my imagination and borrow his characters.
A/N: Completely AU. Tolkien would banish me for what evil things that I've thought about and done to his characters. If you don't like slash, then don't read. And in case you don't know what slash is, slash is when there's two (or more in some cases) of the same sex in a relationship. And if you're a homophobe, there's no need for you to go on. There's no point in flaming if you read something that warns you that it's something you don't like. That's called stupidity. Oh, yeah, by the way, feedback is muchly appreciated!
Nedh Dúath Im Utuva Le (In Darkness I Shall Find You)
Part 2 - Sweet Nights
Glorfindel urged his strong stallion onwards through the woods, through the plains, over cliffs, and closed his green eyes as he let the elven horse take him to Lothlórien. A tear escaped his vigilant pride and was dried away by the winds.
A bittersweet smile arose to his flawless pale face as memories of Elrond rose within his grief-stricken heart and mind. Glorfindel intensified his grip upon the speedy horse and lost himself in the memory.
**Flashback**
The golden-haired elven lord gathered the depressed Elrond into his arms and helped him out to the balcony for some fresh air of the valley. Hints of a faint smile were painted upon the somber face of the father of the Evenstar even as his grey eyes were closed. A broad smile was etched onto the beautiful face of the reincarnated Elf as he brought his face close to Elrond's pointed ear.
"Open your eyes," whispered Glorfindel breathily into Elrond's ear and his sweet warm breath tingled the pointed ear of the Peredhel. Despite that Elrond was half-Elven, even he was subject to the tenderness of his ears like all other Elves. Elrond's grey eyes, rimmed in red from tears fluttered open and glorified in the magnificent sight of the sunset.
"By Elbereth," gasped Elrond in awe. "It's truly beautiful… so magnificent," he murmured as Glorfindel rested his chin onto Elrond's shoulder.
"Like you."
Elrond turned to face his born-again friend. His reddened eyes searched Glorfindel's green ones for an explanation and found it but was disbelieving. The Peredhel licked his parched lips, confused.
"What do you mean?" Glorfindel drew closer to the elven lord until their faces were only several hairs apart and the golden-haired Elf could feel every breath that Elrond took in and out on the sensitive skin of his face.
"You know fully of what I mean, Elrond," whispered Glorfindel with true love in his silvery voice. "You should not be mourning for her. Celebrían has gone to a better place than Middle-Earth. She is safe." Another silvery tear slid down the silky cream-colored skin that belonged to the lore master.
"But her passing has left a gaping hole within my heart, Glorfindel. I wish not to let her memory go," whispered Elrond shakily as another tear fell from his sore eyes. Glorfindel took Elrond into his embracing arms and hugged him tightly. "I miss her. So bad…"
"But she has been gone for so long, Elrond. Let her go. Start anew. For she would not desire you to be in sorrow for her sake," spoke Glorfindel as he looked deeply into Elrond's grey eyes with his own.
Elrond pulled away slightly and looked into Glorfindel's gentle ancient green eyes that were filled with understanding. A sad smile was formed upon the fair face of the reincarnated Elf Lord, which encouraged the Peredhel to do the same.
"Hannon le, mellon nîn*." Elrond paused with a shy smile and looked up to Glorfindel once more with tear brimmed eyes. "But why are you doing this?"
"Because I love you, Elrond," answered Glorfindel with an assuring smile. With the sun behind him, the colors of the sunset heightened his ethereal beauty, making him seem more and more beautiful and otherworldly. Elrond bit his lip as he felt his organ harden with desire as he continued to look upon the golden-haired Elf.
"When I had first met you when I was reborn into this world, I desired you but told none of my longing for you," Glorfindel started with nothing but sincerity in his heart and voice. "Later on, as I got to know you, my longing turned into love. When you wedded Celebrían, I thought I could never truly tell you of how I feel for you."
Elrond's lips parted slightly, somewhat at the mentioning of his wife's name and because he was in awe of the beauty and love of the other golden-haired Elf. A tear escaped from those weary eyes but Glorfindel wiped it gently away with his thumb.
"But ever since she departed from Middle-Earth, it seemed like the weight of all of Middle-Earth had collapsed upon you and you would see no one. It crushed my heart to see you in that sorry state. I couldn't take any more of it today."
Glorfindel sighed as he bared his heart to the dark-haired Elf lord. The sun was now further sinking into the ground and streaks of pink, purple and blue streaked against the dark canvas of the sky. Glorfindel drew closer to Elrond as the sky darkened and as the stars had begun to shine like they did when they were first created by Varda.
"And I will gladly pledge my life, my love to you if you wish it, Elrond," murmured Glorfindel, their faces were almost touching. Elrond's grey eyes started to darken with want and love as his eyelids began to lower.
Almost instinctively Elrond leaned in and kissed the fair-headed Elf lord. The kiss at first shocked Glorfindel but he was quick to response as he worked open the mouth of the Peredhel. Once he had gained entrance into Elrond's mouth, Glorfindel deepened the kiss, slipping his long sinuous tongue inside the mouth of his newfound lover.
Their tongues fought for dominance and a smile of sweet pleasure rose to Elrond's pink lips as Glorfindel took the upper hand. Suddenly Elrond broke away from the kiss, panting for air. Thinking him to be displeased, Glorfindel spoke up, his lungs burning for air as well.
"If you don't want this, Elrond, I'll understand," started the golden-haired elven lord, but the Master of Rivendell interrupted.
"No, I do want this," whispered Elrond with affection in his silvery voice as he looked into Glorfindel's startled green eyes. "I love you, Glorfindel."
