"I don't know Legolas, I don't think Sam will be too crazy about this." Frodo said nervously, as Legolas whispered his plan.
"Nonsense," clucked Legolas, "He'll like it just fine, you just don't know what a wom- er....*life partner* wants. A relationship blossoms with surprises. Now, are you ready to do this or not?" he demanded.
"I guess so." Frodo answered reluctantly.
"You guess what?" Frodo and Legolas' heads snapped up and saw Sam lounging in the door way with some flowers in his hands.
"Uh..,,,,,,,,,,,,nothing Sam." Frodo replied quickly. Legolas rolled his eyes at Frodo's guilt, and decided he better do something before Frodo spilled the beans.
"So, what's that Sam?" Legolas asked casually.
"They're the samples for the flower arrangements. What do you think?" Sam asked eagerly. Legolas shrugged, and fingered the flowers with his slender hands.
"They're okay." He answered nonchalantly. Sam's eager smile wilted like Aragorn when he hasn't sucked someone's toes.
"You.....you don't like them?" Sam asked in a small voice. Legolas shrugged again, kicking himself inwardly. He knew how much Sam thought of his opinion. But he needed something for Sam to focus on, so he wouldn't notice the change in Frodo.
"I think they're great." Frodo piped in from where he sat in the corner. Sam turned and smiled tearfully at Frodo.
"Thank you honey. Well, I have the invitations, and no better time than now I suppose." Sam said, and began to dig in his purse(yes I mean THAT kind of purse), and pulled out some creamy white envelopes. He handed them over silently to Legolas, watching him carefully.
"Wow....these are beautiful." Legolas exclaimed, unable to help himself. But it was true. The invitations were printed on white linen and had gold cursive hand on them. They were absolutely stunning.
"Thank you." Sam said beaming happily again. Legolas sensed the danger in this and quickly set about to fix his err.
"I mean, for such a *quaint* occasion. I suppose they'll do.......but don't you worry Sam, Frodo will help you plan it ALL out." And leaving Sam with this resting on his shoulders, Legolas sashayed out of the room.
"Hey beautiful." Legolas whirled around and saw Aragorn leaning against the banister.
"Hello there." Legolas replied with a grin.
"What ya doin?" Aragorn asked, putting an arm around Legolas.
"Not much, just tormenting Sam." Legolas answered casually. Aragorn stared at his lover for a moment and then laughed.
"Yeah, I can picture you doing a good job with that. So.....what are we getting them for the wedding?"
"I don't know." Legolas answered distractedly, with a frown. "Sometimes I think maybe we should just give them some crockery........but they ARE special friends."
"You know, I think I know the perfect gift." Aragorn said slyly. Legolas pushed him away and studied his face.
"What are you up to Aragorn?"
"You'll see. Just leave it up to me."
