Chapter 2

Elladan walked toward the archery field after his talk with Elrohir and Haldir. He is very nervous now as he had never court a male-elf before, or had even tried to.

Well, it can't be too hard, can it? It is just courting even if the target is a male. Elladan sighed, "How did I even managed to get into this mess anyway? Damn me for my stubborness. No, damn Elrohir and Haldir for puttting me up for this.'

He continued walking as he watched the golden haired elf practice archery on the field. Other novices had already went for a bath as they had practiced the whole morning. He watched from a distance, trying to figure out how to open with a conversation.

As he watched, he found himslf staring at the elf.

Haldir was right, the sight of the elf is breathtakingly beautiful. Gathered up his courage, he walked straight towards the elf.

"Hello there," Elladan begin. He now stood behind the elf. Still, the elf ignored his greetings, continued on with his practice.

Elladan noticed that this elf has a talent with the bow. All of his arrows pierced the center of the target board. But Elladan is annoyed because the elf does not acknowledge his existence.

"You're good with the bow," he tried to pay the elf a compliment. Still, nothing came out from the golden mouth. The elf act as if he was alone and no one was talking to him. He continued on with his practice again.

Annoyed, Elladan yanked the bow from the obviously surprised elf.

Now, they're seeing each other eye to eye. Elladan felt as if he was mesmerised by this elf's gazing eyes. Lost in his own thoughts, he heard the elf said something.

He blinked, shook his head and asked,"What?"

Still keeping his gaze on Elladan, the elf replied, no, whispered," Please give me back my bow."

It was the most melodious voice Elladan had ever heard, it might even be more lovely if the elf were to sing.

"What's your name?" Elladan inquired even if he knew exactly who this elf is.

Sensing that he cannot get his weapon back, the elf turned around and started to walk away.

Quickly, Elladan grabbed the elf's arm and stopped him in his track. "I asked you a question. What is your name?"

Boldly, the elf turned to face Elladan and kept his gaze on him. After a moment he said, "My name is no concern of yours, my Lord."

"You called me a lord, so surely you know who am I then?" Elladan asked though he will not be surprised with the answer. They are after all in Lorien, his grandparent's realm. Surely everyone knows who he is, the young Lord of Imladris.

The elf nodded slowly but still, he kept his gaze on Elladan.

'There is no doubt the royalty blood runs in his veins. Proud and sophisticated,' Elladan thought.

His hands is still gripping on the elf's arms when the elf turned to go again. Elladan tighten his grip. The elf stop and turned around once more.

"Your name, young one," Elladan tried again.

The elf finally relented and answered,"Prince Legolas of Mirkwood."

Upon hearing his name, Elladan let go of Legolas's arm and said with a smile," Now, that wasn't so hard was it, my prince?"

To his suprised, Legolas smiled at him. It was more of a small smile, but a smile nonetheless.

"You're good with the bow," Elladan tried to pay him another compliment.

The younger elf muttered a barely audible 'thanks'. Elldan smiled. 'At least, he's talking to me. Or whispering,' he thought.

Elladan asked rather slyly," Are you afraid of me, my prince?"

That got an almost immediate reaction from the prince when he replied furiously,"No, of course not! Why would I be afraid of you?"

Elladan smiled,"Then why do you reply in such a manner?" He expect an answer but Legolas just stared st him, dumbfounded. Obviously, he had no answer to that question.

"Never mind that. If you're not afraid of me, here. Take a sit. I wish to talk with you," Elladan persuaded Legolas as he plopped himself on the soft grass of the field. He leaned against the trunk of the tree behind him. He patted the ground next to him, indicating to Legolas that he should sit.

Legolas hesitated, but after a moment of thinking, he took a seat next to Elladan. He wanted to see what exactly Elladan wanted with him.

"What do you want to talk about?" Legolas asked as he sat.

"Just things. I wanna get to know you. You know, as friends," Elladan replied.

Legolas looked at Elladan curiously before asking," But why would you want to befriend me? We haven't even crossed paths before."

It was true. One is a senior and another a junior. One from Mirkwood and another from Rivendell. What are the chances for them to meet before this?

Elladan realize the prince somehow doubted his intention to befriend him. He had to think of a plan quickly. A plan that require the participation of the prince so that they can get to know each other better. Luckily for Elladan, he had wits.

"Well, I saw you practiced out there today. And as I say, you were good. Too good for a novice archer. Maybe even better than some of the seniors. Where did you learn the skills from?" Elladan try to start a conversation.

Fortunately for him, Legolas begin to relax as he answered,"Back home in Mirkwood. I have six elder brothers. They taught me."

"Really? They must be very good with the bow since that their student is fantastic with one," Elladan said, smiling,

Hearing the compliment, Legolas blushed and thanked Elladan for his compliment.

"Say, how about a friendly match?" Elladan asked, as he finally figured out a way to ask the elf out.

Puzzled, Legolas just look at the older elf.

"Just a friendly match between you and I. Maybe even against Elrohir and Haldir," Elladan continued.

Seeing the puzzled look on Legolas's face, Elladan explained,"Elrohir is my twin brother and Haldir is a friend."

Legolas nodded at the explanation and said," I don't think I'm up to against 3 seniors, even if it's a friendly match."

"Don't be so modest, my prince. You know what, I'll partner with you and we'll go against them both. What say you?" Elladan said.

Legolas hesitated for a moment. But upon seeing the enthutiastic look on Elladan, he agreed. Besides, it's a good opportunity to test his skills against the seniors.

"Okay. Sure. When and Where?"

"Um... Same time and place tomorrow, since there will be no more practice at this hour. Okay?" Elladan decided.

Legolas only nodded. Even though the match is tomorrow, he is beginning to feel rather nervous.

"Okay,then. I better get going. I'll see you tomorrow then," Elladan said. And with a wave and a wink, he left Legolas who was still seating on the ground.

'Tomorrow should be very interesting,' Legolas thought.

Then he too begin to get up and walk to the bathing area for his delayed bath.

TBC...

Hope you enjoy this. I know the story is kinda slow but the next chappie will be good. I promise.
