Chapter 20
"Where is it? Damn it! Where the hell is it?!" Elladan asked himself furiously as he searched through his room.
He had searched everywhere possible but still no sign of the very thing that he looked for.
"Legolas would definitely kill me if he finds out," Elladan said as he flung clothes from his already messy room to search for the missing item.
"How could I possibly lost it? How could I be so careless to lose it?! he asked himself as he subconsciously put his hand to his bare neck. Yes, his bare neck.
Elladan had lost the ring that was given to him by Legolas. He had no idea how he had come to lose it for he never took off the chain around his neck.
He sighed in frustration. 'Maybe I lost it during one of my hunting trip? But it could be long gone and I hadn't even noticed.'
Indeed, for someone who rarely took notice of the ring that hung around his neck, he could've lost it without even realizing it.
"Well, there's nothing that I can do about it anymore. Just hope Legolas won't find out about it," he said aloud to reassure himself.
'But he's bound to find out, you know,' his inner voice said.
He thought about it for a moment before he shrugged and said," Well, better be after the feast. It's in a few days and there's no point in upsetting him before that. I mean, I've got a bet to win here," he said again.
After he made up his mind on not telling Legolas before the feast, he walked out of his room.
On the day of the Last Feast...
Elladan walked leisurely towards Legolas's quarters and when he reached the door, he knocked lightly on it.
"Coming," Legolas's voice said from inside the room.
Elladan smiled. He couldn't wait to see how he looked on this night. And he looked good himself. Wearing a V-neck long black tunic with silver lines with a white shirt underneath and a little gold embroidery on his tunic. It complements well with his golden skin color adn his dark hair. A look of a dark angel.
As he snickered at his own thoughts, the door opened slowly, revealing a gorgeous Prince of Mirkwood.
Elladan looked at Legolas in awe. If he had been a dark angel, then Legolas would be his sweet and demure angel.
Wearing an all white tunic with silver lines that seems to emit light, combined with his golden hair and porcelain skin, Legolas simply looked irresistible that night.
When Legolas noticed that Elladan was staring at him, he giggled and asked seductively," See something you like, my Lord?"
Elladan snapped his mouth shut and replied with a glint in his eyes," You tease."
Legolas only giggled more at Elladan. Elladan proceed to grab the prince by his waist and leaned in to kiss him. A kiss that lasted for a moment. When they finally broke from the kiss, both were panting for breath.
"We're wasting time here, my Lord. The feast is waiting," Legolas said, smiling sweetly at Elladan.
"Hmmm... But the feast can wait, can it not, my love?" Elladan said as he nuzzled into Legolas neck.
Legolas giggled again at the ticklish feeling at his neck and decide that he could have his sweet revenge.
Moving his neck from Elladan's mouth, he turned to kiss Elladan on his neck and nuzzled his nose onto Elladan's neck, breathing into it. Elladan moaned in pleasure.
Legolas stopped at his nose detecting something on Elladan's neck. Or rather the lack of something on his neck. HE pulled away and faced Elladan with a confused look on his face.
Elladan frowned when Legolas broke the kisses on his neck and looked at his prince.
"Where's the ring that I gave you?" Legolas asked, a sad tone hinted in his voice.
Elladan looked at him briefly and said smoothly," I left it in my room where it is safe."
"Safe? Whatever do you mean? Why would it not be safe at the feast?" Legolas asked in confusion.
Elladan laughed at the confused look on Legolas's face. 'He looked absolutely adorable when he's confused. So innocent and child like. Ai, whatever did I do to deserve you, my prince?'
Legolas grew more confuse when Elladan laughed. But his confusion turned into annoyance when Elladan ended up staring at him rather than explaining.
"Do you care to explain or are you planning on staring at me for the rest of the night?" Legolas asked as he rolled his eyes in annoyance, arms crossed at his chest.
Elladan laughed again and pulled Legolas in an embrace.
"An explanation Elladan?" Legolas asked again in Elladan's arms.
Elladan sighed. He had to come up with a quick explanation. One that make sense. Thank the Valar he was blessed with quick wit.
Without hesitation he said," Fine, but you're going to think that I am vain in doing so."
Legolas pulled away and looked at Elladan with a raised eyebrow. "I left it in my room because it does not match with my clothes this evening. There, I've said it. Do you not trust me Legolas?" he answered in annoyance.
Legolas looked at him for a moment before he burst into laughter. Elladan only stood there, arms crossed, and a hurtful expression on his face.
"Oh I'm sorry for laughing but you ARE vain," Legolas said in midst of his laughter. Elladan pulled him in an embrace again and kissed him on his lips.
When they broke their kiss, Legolas whispered," I trust you with everything that I am, my Lord. Everything."
Elladan smiled and took Legolas' hands before leading them away from Legolas's quarters and to the feast.
"Come, we must go now if we were to participate the Last Feast," Elladan said as he led them away.
After a brisk walk, they finally came to the hall where the feast was held.
There were elves, both males and females, dancing and laughing merrily with their own companies.
After a moment of looking around, Elladan finally spotted Elrohir and Haldir along with Arwen chatting away merrily with each other.
Elladan nudged Legolas towards the three and said," Go to them, my love while I go get us drinks."
Legolas nodded and started walking towards them. He smiled and looked around his surroundings.
The halls of Lothlorien amazed him with their beauty. The decorations and lights make the feast seemed almost alive.
He was admiring the view when he heard some she-elves were talking and chatting amongst themselves. He turned towards them. He did not know why for he was never one to hear gossips but their conversation somehow drew his attention. Or maybe it was the fact that he heard the word Imladris escaping the mouth of the she-elf.
He walked closer to them so that he could hear them better.
"Halirien, congratulations. You're finally going to be a Lady of Imladris."
"Yes, I thought he would never propose. I mean, we've been engage for so long."
'Lady of Imladris? Whoever did she meant? Elrond? Not likely. Maybe it was Elrohir? It must be Elrohir. Why didn't Elladan tell me?' he thought as he smiled for he was happy for the younger twin.
"Look at the ring. It's just splendid. So beautiful."
"I know. I asked him where did he get it and he said it was from Mirkwood."
Legolas stood still at the mention of his home. 'What?'
"Look at it, leaves from left and right, intertwine at the middle. Simply beautiful Halirien. You must be so proud."
Legolas turned to face them. He could not stop the gasp from escaping his mouth when he saw HIS ring on Halirien's finger as she was proudly showing off to her friends.
Her next statement caught him off guard and pierced through his heart.
"I am. I'm marrying Elladan."
TBC...
You know, come to think of it, my Christmas was not that bad, at least I have my friends with me (they're too doing their finals). Could be worse, could be a lonely Christmas. Yes, I am thankful for my friends!!!! I must really remember to count my blessings for they are many!!! hahahah
Anyways, Review please...
