**********************************************************************
Chapter 19
Elladan woke up feeling rather tired. His eyes tried to adjust themselves to the sunlight emitting from the window. A figure beside him stirred. He looked at the figure.
"Oh, no. What have I done?" he whispered to no one but himself.
He sat upright in his bed, carefully not to wake the sleeping figure. Frustrated, he cover his face with his hands.
Slipping out of the bed, he found his clothes on the chair beside the bed and quickly put them on. His head still hurt from the hangover he was having after drinking wine with the elf that was still sleeping on his bed. Well, at least he thought so when a voice startled him.
"Waken already my love?" the figure said.
Without any bother to turn around, Elladan frowned and found himself to be unable to answer.
"I... We...," he stammered. A pair of arms encircled him at his waist. He shuddered at the touch.
"What's wrong my love?" the figure asked.
He pulled the arms off his waist and turned around. With a frown still on his face, he said," Don't do this Halirien. I am not your love. Not anymore."
His former betrothed frowned and said," Well, you didn't have any problem with me calling you that yesternight."
"I... I was drunk," Elladan tried to explain, afraid to look at the enraged she-elf.
It was partly true. He was found by the river, brooding, by Halirien. They talked. Drank wine that Halirien brought. Jokes led to kisses. Kisses led to love. And that led to this morning.
"We know you can't be that drunk if you were able to make love to me last night," Halirien said with a smirk on her face.
"Halirien..." he tried again.
"Don't Halirien me," she snapped at him. None said anything for a minute. Then trying again Halirien said softly," Elladan, I know you still love me. You know this."
Elladan shook his head and replied," Yesternight meant nothing to me, Lirien. Twas a mistake. We were both drunk and I was.. I was not myself."
"Oh, so now you think that you can just use me for one night and leave me the next. Is that it?" Halirien yelled at him.
Elladan laughed bitterly and replied," Oh, we both know you have your share of lovers. Why should last night mean anything to you. You were well used to it."
Seeing the shocked expression on Halirien's face, he laughed again and said," Oh yes, Lirien. I knew about your 'activities' even back when we were together. I just chose not to say anything about it as I've had my share as well."
Halirien smirked and said," See, in a way we are alike. We are perfect for each other. Elladan.." She tried to move to hug him but he took a step backward.
"Yes, so alike that we will be the death of one another should we choose to stay together. No, you've made me realize that we are not meant for one another," Elladan said.
"That was an excuse and you know it. It was that prince, isn't it? You chose him over me. What does he have that I don't?" she yelled, consumed by the anger in her heart.
"In a word, Lirien. Innocence," Elladan replied, a proud smile plastered on his face.
Halirien rolled her eyes in annoyance and blurted," Well, I'm sure you'll take THAT away from him."
Elladan narrowed his eyes and replied," Just go, Lirien. I have no more to say to you."
Without a word, the furious she-elf strode to the door and left the room, slamming the door the she went out.
Elladan let out a sigh and sat on the edge of his bed, his hands covered his face.
'Another secret to keep from Legolas. Ai, Elbereth! What have I done now?' he thought to himself.
Later that day...
Elladan was sitting leisurely under a tree, enjoying the peaceful environment and the cool afternoon breeze.
His eyes was closed as he inhaled the sweet scent of the grass adn the aroma the breeze brought.
Suddenly, he heard faint footsteps walking towards him. A faint smile appeared on his face. But his emotions were battling each other. A part of him wanted to see Legolas, to embrace him while another part of him did not. Not after his night with Halirien. He felt guilty. As if he had betrayed the prince's trust.
"Elladan?" Legolas faint voice called to him. Slowly, he opened his eyes and looked up. He smiled at his prince and gestured for him to sit next to him.
At his gesture, Legolas sat down, crossed-leg, in front of Elladan. None of them said anything. Legolas played with the grass with his fingers, trying hard not to look at Elladan.
He had come to see him, but now he could not say anything to him. He did not know how to start.
"Elladan.." "Legolas..." Both started in unison. Legolas smiled sheepishly.
"You can go first," Elladan said softly as he took Legolas's hands in his.
Legolas was nervous but he felt that he needed to say it.
"I'm sorry for yesterday. I know I acted like a child and I want to apologize. Will you forgive me?" Legolas said softly. His eyes intent on the grass beneath him.
Never in his right mind would he expect an apology from Legolas. He knew it wasn't his fault that they argue. He was angry and he let it out on Legolas. Elladan was ashamed now if he wasn't before.
Slowly and gently, he lift Legolas's chin to face him. He saw tears in Legolas's eyes. Unshed tears. He leaned forward and kissed both Legolas's eyelids.
Then he said softly," Twas not your fault Legolas. It was my own fault. I'm sorry that I snapped at you. I'm sorry I said those hurtful things to you. I was mad and I let it out on you. Please, if you could, please forgive me."
Legolas only smiled and said," I could never be mad at you, my Lord. I know you love me and would never hurt me."
Elladan proceed to hug his lover and kissed him on his sun-kissed hair. "Thank you for believing in me, my prince. I love you."
Legolas smiled and leaned into the embrace.
"Elladan?"
"Hmmm?" Elladan answered lazily.
Legolas said hesitantly," If you still want to, we can..." He could not finished the sentence.
Suddenly, Halirien's voice invaded his mind,'Well, I'm sure you'll take THAT away from him.'
Elladan's face turned grim and he pulled away so that he could he Legolas's face.
"Not until you're ready, my love. Never until you're ready," Elladan said.
Legolas flashed him a smile and flung himself towards Elladan and hugged him fiercely.
