Note: Thanks for the reviews. I might not update tomorrow because I have to work on my other story. Let´s begin.

Aragorn woke up the next morning feel fully refreshed. He enjoyed the silence before he reluctant opened his eyes. His head was still resting on Legolas´s stomach and the Elf was clearly still asleep. Legolas´s eyes were glaced over in the Elvish sleep and Aragorn smiled to himself. He moved his head some, trying to find Legolas´s heartbeat. "Estel, what are you doing?" Legolas´s amused voice asked.

"Search for your heart, meleth." Aragorn muttered. Legolas laughed, it was a more carefree laugh before he answered. "You used to do that, remember when we would travel? It suprised me you never did that during the quest."

Aragorn lifted his head before he rolled onto his stomach, hands under his chin and looked at Legolas. "I would always dream that one day you would give your heart to me, now that day has arrived. Unless you changed your mind that is?" The last part was said with a grin.

Legolas did not smile instead the Elf answered. "An Elf loves only once, you know that, yet one day I will have to live without you. Maybe that is why Elrond wanted Arwen to sail."

Aragorn sat on his knees, back resting against the bedpost before he answered. "I do not want to be the dead of two of the Elven kind, I could not live with myself then. Yet you do not have the choice of mortality, would you want to end it now or life for a few years in bliss?"

Legolas looked at the man before he answered. "The sea longing is yet in my heart and it is strong, but there is something that is even stronger, my love for you as it has been all these years. I would live in bliss if that is what Eru has got planned for me."

Wrapping his arms around the Elf, he felt shudders going through Legolas. "I think that Eru has planned something different for us, he would not allow us to be together before he seperates us until the end of the world. That is not the way it goes with soul mates, I will stand before the Valar if that is the way to get you back, I swear it now."

Legolas looked at Aragorn with eyes wide of wonder. "Surely you jest, a promise like that is not made lightly, who knows what will come of it?"

"A bond is formed, a bond that cannot be broken not even by death. A proof of a love that not many people share, a love unheard off between a mortal and an Eldar. Yet there is one thing that has to be proven in return?"

"And what is that?"

"The bond has to be returned, else the person will die." Aragorn answered urgent. "That is what Galadriel meant when she said that my soul cried out for my soul mate, why the pain lessens when you are with me."

Legolas removed himself from the man´s embrace, a look that would prenetrade steel in his eyes. Aragorn had a gut feeling that this was not good. The man feared he had made a grave mistake by doing this. "Legolas, I am sorry.." Was all he could say before Legolas snapped. "Shut up. I do not want to hear another word from you." Aragorn fell into a shocked silence, chewing on his lips to prevent tears from flowing freely.

Legolas looked away, the anger in his eyes dying. Aragorn did not know it was merely a defense meganis. "That was what this dream was about what Lady Galadriel said." He muttered, Aragorn wanted to ask what, but he decided against it.

Legolas´s eyes shifted back to the humans and he explained. "She said that she saw me together with you before the Valar. Yet what we were doing, she did not know. Honestly, Aragorn did you ever thought about this safe past the point about you and me?"

Aragorn did not answer, instead he shook his head to the floor. Legolas lifted the man´s chin and said. "It is safe to anwer."

"I thought it was what you wanted. I am sorry, I should not have been so selfish." He muttered. Legolas shook his head. "That is not what I wanted to hear, I love you but I never knew you meant it this way, for me to spent my life with you. I thought I was merely something to pass the time with, for me that would have been enough, until a woman would come by, who would be your queen."

"How could you think that? My heart has been hoping for you ever since I layed eyes on you. For me to be the one you came home to at night, for me to be called meleth by you, when you first called me friend, it made my heart beat so fast that I did not know what hit me, when you called me your best friend, I was honoured by your gesture, yet all those nights ago when you said those words that you loved somebody, my heart broke, when you said it was me, my word collapsed from sheer shock and my soul was lifted more then ever before. To finally be called my love by you is what makes my heart beat with hope in these dark times." Aragorn took the prince´s hands in his own. "I know you, Legolas, I know you better then anybody else and you know me, that is why Arwen never had my heart, I wished for her to be happy with somebody else I truly did, but she would not hear from it. To know that she made the ultimate sacrifise for us to be together, is what makes my heart ache, yet I could not be prouder to tell my son that she is his mother."

"Aragorn, I cannot say that it is going to be easy, for it shall not be. It shall be the hardest thing you and I have ever done. If you think standing in front of the black gate is hard, then you are mistaken, there has to be a few years where non shall know who holds our true hearts, the people of Gondor shall not accept this. Yet I have you know that I am not giving you up for the world, I love you and I pray you know that and I would be honoured to stand in front of the Valar with you by my side." Legolas answered, the tips of his ears has turned slightly red.

Aragorn smiled and kissed Legolas swiftly before the door opened, both of them broke apart only to swift a little bit, not bothering to hid the fact that they just kissed. Gandalf smiled and shook his head. "Ai, when two people fall in love." He muttered before he said. "Now, come, we still have to tell the people about Elrond´s decision, shall we go?"

Aragorn nodded and walked away with Legolas, niether of them knowing how this was going to take a turn for the worse.

Sorry it is so short, but I need ideas bad, please post some.
