Disclaimer: They do not belong to me. It's not fair. I want them.
I really am not sure what I was thinking while writing this chapter, Aragorn and Legolas have an argument. But I am a Fluff writer so it's okay.
Packing. Aragorn had never liked to pack. That was the reason that he had left it to the last minute. Legolas and Aragorn were leaving in the morning for a three month trip around Middle Earth.
For days he had been teasing his Prince about how early he was packing and how methodical he was at folding and putting everything in carefully. Now he wished very much that Legolas was up here helping him rather than down in the court yard saying farewell to his father.
Thranduil was leaving now with the safe knowledge that he would be seeing his son again soon when they visited Mirkwood. The Hobbits had left a few days ago and were heading towards Rivendell with Lord Elrond and the Twins.
Reaching into his wardrobe that was now half empty Legolas having already removed all the clothes he would need for the trip, holding a selected tunic up to himself Aragorn tried to decide whether it was needed.
"Do not pack that one it does not flatter you." Turning suddenly Aragorn saw his Husband standing silently just within the door smiling.
"Your right, I do not know why I keep it I never wear it. How are you, do you feel sick anymore?" Aragorn was concerned as Legolas had been up half the night feeling sick and at times actually being sick.
"Better, I hope that I do not feel this bad while we are travelling." Legolas moved further into the room over to Aragorns packing cases. Picking up several of the items which Aragorn had just put in he re folded them far more neatly and placed them on the bed. "You are hopeless aren't you?"
"Yes, but with you by my side how can I fail. A blush set upon Legolas's cheeks and Aragorn kissed his Lovers nose and the couple continued to pack Aragorns things.
"Aragorn you can not take those clothes they are dirty and not suitable for company to see you in." Legolas announced whilst catching Aragorn trying to put some of his old ranger clothes in the case.
"Why not we are travelling with friends are we not and I wish to be comfortable whilst doing so." Aragorn looked at Legolas with such a ferocity that the fair elf was taken aback.
"I understand that Estel." Legolas tried to keep his tone calm so as to diffuse the situation. "But they are filthy and are damaged," Legolas explained indicating several holes "we can find some simpler clothes for you to wear."
"No. You do not understand you have no idea what it is like for me I am stuck in meetings every day signing bits of paper I am so busy. " Aragorn was getting very annoyed and his voice was steadily rising in volume " While you just sit and talk with friends or mess around in the garden or sit and read you have no responsibilities"
Legolas's normal calm voice rose as he shouted back "How dare you say that to me. I have just as many responsibilities as you. Need I remind you that I hold court every week because you are two busy. I actually spend time with the poorer people trying to help. And most importantly I try to make sure that you are happy and relaxed. And I do all this whilst carrying you child within me."
Legolas stopped shouting as his voice broke and tears ran down his face as Aragorn took a step forward as if to embrace his love Legolas turned and fled in the direction of the gardens.
Both King and Prince were shocked in a year this was the first time that they had ever argued seriously.
King Elessar knew immediately that what he had said was wrong as son as it had left his mouth. Legolas took upon himself a large number of responsibilities that truly belonged to the King as well as his own.
Moving in the direction that the blond elf had gone he tried to think of how to apologise. What he saw almost broke his heart Legolas was sitting on a stone bench underneath a large Mallorn tree. His head was in his hand s and his entire body was shaking with sobs.
Silently sitting next to his Husband Aragorn gathered the elf into his arms and let him cry into his shoulder.
"Legolas I am so sorry. I never meant anything I said I love you and know that you work hard and I m ever grateful for it.. Please do not cry I am sorry."
"It's okay I know that you did not mean it but I feel so closed in. The walls of our home seem to confine me and I miss the open spaces." at a look from Aragorn he hurriedly continued. "I would never leave here for it is my home but I miss my old home."
Holding the elf the two sat there for what felt like mere minutes, but what in reality turned out to be several hours. The sat simply watching the stars and the moon.
"Come Aragorn we must finish packing if we wish to leave in the morning. I am sure that Gimli and Mithrandir have already retired and it would do us well to follow there example."
"Very well come on." Helping the elf to stand the royal family made there way slowly into the palace.
When they reached their quarters Legolas asked Aragorn to wait for a few moments. Slipping into the room Aragorn waited outside until Legolas granted entry. And there sitting on the bed was three sets of clean clothes made in the style of his old ranger tunics.
"I had these made. I was going to give them to you tomorrow, this is the real reason as to why I did not want you to take your old clothes with us."
Laughing the two finished the packing with Aragorn being more of a hindrance rather than a help.
Settling down to sleep Legolas heard a quiet whisper in his ear "I Love you"
Yay another chapter. I got another flame for the last chapter. It's really funny. You should read it. They say that MPREG makes them sick. So why on earth where you reading a story clearly labelled MPREG.
Duh
Any way please review and Happy Easter.
Love Meisalliam
