A/N:  ENJOY! 

Apologies and Talks

One has no idea how mad I was.  I stormed off through the palace.  I went looking for Elrohir.  'How could they? How in the name of Elbereth could they?'  I thought angrily.  I was marching down one corridor when I ran into Telepandúnêiel.

"Sunshine!" She called.

"Not now!" I snapped and she looked hurt.  I felt so bad later on but not then.  I marched away.

*        *         *

I continued to storm through the palace looking for Elrohir.  I had found Elladan and he had not seen him since earlier but thought Elrohir might be in the forest.  I found him.  I didn't say a word and let my actions speak for me. 

In just 46 hours, I had had my first kiss and lost my virginity as well.  I can't say it wasn't good, though I did not have another affair with a male, but he was rough and it hurt for a while.  I just used Elrohir to prove something.  I'm sure he just used me to sate his… urges.

"Legolas?" Guyaturion inquired opening my bedroom door.  I was sort of staring off into space. 

"Hmm?" I mumbled as I sat up on my bed.  I was sick of being mad at them, especially Guyaturion. 

"Can I come in?" He asked quietly.  I looked at him for a moment as if considering my options, but that was just a show.

"Aye," I replied as I flopped back down on my bed. 

"So you're talking to us then?" He asked as he shut the door and sat down in the chair next to me.

"Just you so far," I said not looking at him.  He sighed.

"Listen, Legolas, we really are sorry.  It's just we were just trying to look out for you.  And, I know you hate us for saying so, but it is true, you are still young.  But that said, you are growing up and are quickly becoming an elf and not just our baby brother.  So, again, we apologise for acting a little stupidly," Guyaturion said sincerely.  I started to laugh.  "What?"

"I knew all of this before," I said through my laughter.  "I just like… making you seven mad…"

Guyaturion smacked me.  I laughed even harder.

"Why you little!" He dove at me.  I was up from the bed in a blink of an eye and was headed toward the door. 

I bounded out in to the hall, Guyaturion was not far behind. 

"Where are they?" I asked Guyaturion over my shoulder.

"Garden!"

"Excellent!"  I ran down the front steps and turned the corner.  They weren't in the main garden so I turned.

"Which one?"

"I think the one with the pond," he said as he stopped next to me. 

"Okay!" I left him and bounded into the woods. 

They probably heard me as I neared them.  My brothers were seated to the right of the pond and were talking quietly under the trees.  I jumped up into the trees and made my way, as quietly as possible toward them.  More than once Lossenethir looked up and Maikalindë would ask what was wrong, but he dismissed whatever feeling he had had. 

"HA!" I said as I dropped down into the centre of their little meeting. 

"Legolas!" Celebiathion said surprised.   The rest had jumped back in surprise.

"Hello," I said as I sat down. 

"Hi," they said cautiously. 

Guyaturion burst into the clearing, smiling.  "Hello everyone."

"Hello!" I said happily.  I think that they thought I was playing mind games with them. 

"Hello," they said to Guyaturion.  He was about to reply when I interrupted him.

"We've established that we're here.  I just wanted to say that I accept your apology and yes you did act stupidly and that you did piss ('Legolas!' Windarion said shocked) me off.  I am however willing to put that aside given you seven give me breathing room and let me make decisions as well," I said business-like.  Lossenethir spoke.

"I think I believe I speak for all of us when I say, 'deal'," he smiled. 

"Excellent," I smiled.  "Now if you'll excuse me I have a sister-in-law to apologize to."

"What did you do to my wife?" Guyaturion demanded.

"I sort of told her to… shut up," I said eyes down cast. 

"Legolas!" Maikalindë reproved.

"Well, I think it best you apologize to her then," Lossenethir said with a stern glance.  I nodded.

"Have fun, boys.  I'll see you at dinner."

*        *         *

"Telepandúnêiel?"  I knocked on the door. 

"Aye?" She called.

"It's Legolas," I answered.

"Oh."

"May I come in?"

"If you want."

I slowly turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.  She was seated on the bed with her legs spread out in front of her, drawing.  She was using her stomach as a desk of sorts and I tried not to smile… I was trying to apologize and the last thing I needed was she to think I was laughing at her. 

"Did you want something?" She asked quietly, not looking up from her work.  I realized I was staring and spoke quickly.

"I want to apologize for snapping at you earlier…" I replied.  "I was under a lot of stress and I wasn't thinking and I know that is not a very good excuse but it's the best I've got and I hope you'll accept it."

She was silent for quite some time.  With every passing minute my heart sank because I thought she was going to reject my apology and turn me away. 

"I accept but you have to do something for me," she finally said.

"Anything," I replied.  

          "Would you mind giving me a back rub?  It's killing me," she said with a big smile. 

          "No problem," I laughed.

          I climbed onto the bed and settled behind her.  I got situated and began to gently rub her back.

          "I really am sorry you know," I said.  "I was a bit stupid."

          "You're right you were," she answered.  I laughed.

          We were silent for sometime after that.  I was rubbing her back as she was attempting to draw a portrait of someone.  Then, she spoke.

          "What is going on between you and Elrohir?" She asked. 

          "Nothing, why?" I replied as nonchalantly as possible.

          "Well, it was just because Guy was in here ranting a little while earlier about you being young and innocent," she stated.  I blushed at the innocent remark.  "And about Elrohir being the biggest tramp he has seen.  He was pretty irked."

          "I see," I replied absently.  I was angry again but I couldn't let her see it.

          "Besides, you shouldn't lie.  You're not very good at it," she pointed out.

          "So what happened?"

          I was quiet for a minute, debating whether or not I should tell her everything.  Then I launched into the whole entire story.  From Elrohir's remark about Windarion to the not so detailed account of our role in the grass, so to speak. 

          Telepandúnêiel took the whole story without a word.  It wasn't until I was finished that she spoke.

          "Well, then," she said like she was taken aback.  "Was he good?"  I burst out laughing.

          "I guess…  I don't know.  I never did that before.  It was… odd…  A little uncomfortable until you got into it…  He was kind of rough," I replied, blushing furiously.

          "Yes, my first time felt very odd too," she laughed.  At least I wasn't the only one.  "Did you like it?"

"These are very personal questions," I pointed out trying to change the subject.

          "Well you have to tell someone," she replied.  I thought I should because my brothers certainly wouldn't take that too well.  Even Guyaturion and I told him pretty much everything.

          "It was great at the time.  But the more I think about it the more I think I shouldn't have been so irrational," I replied.  "I don't think that I'm going to do that again… with a male I mean."

          "I see.  Well, congratulations Legolas, you've probably just figured out your sexuality," she smiled.  I blushed, if possible, even redder. 

          "Aye, well…"
