Chapter 59: Cield awakes
Cield immediately saw the child who slept close to him. Normally, he would have simply shoved him away and let the elfling fall, but that was when Legolas was awake.
Looking at his baby brother he suddenly felt love towards the infant. His golden hair in the moonlight, his innocent face so smooth, peaceful and calm, his tiny, pointed ears against Cield's neck, the elfling's chest slowly rising and falling small amounts as he breathed, and his adorable figure in total. Cield could not help but adore this child.
Cield saw the position his arm was in: tight around the elfling's slender form. He looked down at his brother and felt so much love towards him. He kissed Legolas on the top of his head and whispered a phrase so low that only the elfling could hear - but was not awake to hear.
"I love you so much my little gwador [brother]."
Legolas stirred and then awoke, looking up at the awake Cield.
"Key, you don't want me here? 'Cause I can leave if you don't, you do not have to yell or hurt me."
"No, I like having you here."
"Really?"
"Yes... and, can you keep a secret Legolas?"
"I don't know what a secret is."
"Well, I love you. I know I don't show it, but, I love you a lot more than you think I do."
"Really?"
"Yes. You are my little baby brother, my adorable brother, I love you with all my heart Legolas. I'm sorry of my behaviour the past weeks... months..."
"Years?"
"Yes. Years. That is it Legolas... I have been mean to you for years... I apologies. Now, you sleep. You're just a babe and need rest or you will fall asleep in your breakfast... again..."
"Okay."
