Forever friends
Aragorn was brought from his thoughts when Legolas lightly gripped his hand. When the Human looked at him, Legolas smiled. "Just wanted to...see...if......you were....still....here..." The Elf tried as best as he could to get the words out. Aragorn smiled. "Yeah, I'm here. I guess I got lost in thought." Aragorn admitted. The Elf turned his face away from Aragorn and weakly moved his hand to the drawer. "What do you want, mellon nin?" Aragorn asked, curious as to what his friend was doing.
"Me? Want?....No, 'tis for you...open...the...drawer..." Legolas said. Aragorn stood slowly and walked over to the drawer. He opened it. "I....meant...to give it...to you......sooner....but....I forgot...." Legolas said. "Look...for...a red...envelope...with a green...ribbon tied to it..." Legolas told his friend. Aragorn saw it immediately, for everything else in the drawer was white or pale yellow. He only held it and walked back around the bed to his chair. "Go...on...open it..." Legolas told him. Aragorn slowly untied the knot and the envelope opened. He reached inside and pulled out a ring. It was silver and gold. There were two entwined vines (brown) and at the end two leaves (green) met each other. In between the two leaves was a small space that had a small inscription on it in Elvish. It read in the Common tongue; Forever Friends. "Put...it...on. Do...you...like...it?" Legolas said.
Aragorn was speechless. "I love it, mellon nin." He said as he put the ring on. "I...had...it...made...for...you...especially...and....there...is...no...oth er...like...it." Legolas said. Aragorn slipped it on. It fit perfectly. "Thank you." Aragorn said, taking his friend's hand and griping it in thanks. Legolas smiled again. "It...was...no...problem. Not...for...a...friend...as...good...as...you." The Elf said. The words stung his heart. "I am not a good friend if I cannot keep you from this illness." Aragorn said sadly. Legolas' smile faded as he narrowed his eyes. "Do...you want...me...to...argue...about this?" He asked. Aragorn laughed at his tone. "I know you will win, but it is what my heart feels." He said.
"You are the...most...perfect...friend...anyone...could ask for. No one could have...kept me from this illness..." Legolas tried to say in a strong voice. Aragorn sat on the edge of his friend's bed and gently scooped him up into an embrace.
(A/N: yes, of course it was short, but I updated three times today! I might just add another chapter!)
