'He slips from me, it matters not how hard I try. I beg him to leave every
night, knowing that it would break me and in knowing that he will never go,
I am broken.'
Celebrian finished the last scratch of quill in her journal, closed it and looked up and acroos the room to her husband. Elrond sat, leaning on his elbow over a chess board as Elladan moved his queen across it. A slow smile spread across Elrond's face.
"Excellent move…under any other circumstance." He moved his rook a few places in front of the white King as Elladan looked down at the board in amazement.
"Impossible, I played that game flawlessly." Elrond lifted his hand as Elladan took it.
"Almost flawlessly, good game." Elladan rearranged his pieces on the board correctly and left Elrond as his father turned his head slightly to look at Celebrian.
"If one did not know better of you, one would think you cheated." Elrond rose and walked towards where she sat.
"The day he wins is the day I rejoice." Celebrian looked at him and thought something was odd. Only when he bent down and laid a hungry kiss on her neck did she understand what it was and she laughed lightly.
"Mm, your laughter rivals the music of Maglor." Celebrian wrapped her arms about his shoulder's.
"And your flattery remains ruler over all others." He brought her to stand as they embraced and she laid a gentle kiss upon his cheek. "No, any strenuous activity, ANY, and it could make your fevers worse."
"But I have strength in me this day." Elrond looked at her with a cocked brow as he stroked her cheek with his thumb. "There used to be days when it was you who wished for my attention in such ways to the point where you would beg."
"Never once did I beg, it was not necessary, you could never resist."
"Nothing has changed…" Celebrian cupped his face in her hands.
"I wish nothing had or I would take you to our bed without hesitation." Elrond looked at her, truly gazed into her eyes and a look of sadness came over him.
"I worry."
"Over what?"
"That you would go to the bed of another, one who was stronger and healthier." Celebrian smiled at him and drew him close.
"Your worries are unneeded, I would seek out no other. You are the one I love and have loved since the first time we met. No one could ever take your place." She kissed him and soon, she realized that it had become much more passionate than she had intended and, in the end, Elrond won over her fears, which did prove to be unneeded.
He sighed contentedly in the arms of his lover and continued to kiss her collar bone.
"What do you think of my state now? Am I as weak as you thought?" Celebrian smiled and held his head to her collar.
"You may have over come the poisons and abuses in your body for the moment but you have not swayed my opinion, I still worry over you." She wrapped her other arm around his shoulders and leaned her head against his. Elrond moved his attention to her face and laid a kiss on her forehead.
"I still have the strength I had when we first met and until it shows sign of leaving, I will act as I always have."
Celebrian seemed not to hear his words and only when he said they should join the children for dinner did she move.
She ate and said little that night as she watched Elrond talk with the children happily. He spoke to Elladan of strategy, Elrohir of fighting techniques and Arwen of riding. When the children excused themselves and kissed their mother on the cheek, Celebrian looked to Elrond as he came to take her hand and lead her to their chambers.
"What troubles you meleth nîn?" He placed his hand on hr shoulder and Celebrian took it in hers.
"If I ask you this time, will you say yes?" Elrond kneeled down and leaned his head against Celebrian's shoulder.
"No."
"Then you already know what troubles me."
That night, Celebrian was in her husbands arms, her head against his chest. Though he was sleeping, she was not, could not. The soft thrum of his heart was in her ear, telling her reassuringly that he was still there and that he had not passed just yet. It only made her despair even more as she knew that his strong beat would begin to falter soon and eventually, stop all together. It made her feel worse knowing that the reason this would happen was, partially, her. The steady beat carried her deep into the night until it brought sleep and dreams of things to horrible to imagine ever becoming a reality.
K, start with one very adorable couple, throw in enough angst to make Hulk Hogan break down and cry and add a pinch of romance, you get…I'm not sure what this is:) but, anyway, just throwing little cutey, nothing big happens chap for the sake of my own sanity as I'm counting on this getting very depressing.
Review plz, I actually am hooked up to these things intravenously, lol:)
