Aragorn was standing next to Elladan when Elrond announced the news to the people of Gondor. He cast a quick look at Legolas, the Elf stood stiffly, looking just like he had when Aragorn first met him. An idea sprang in mind and Aragorn was having a hard time not blushing at the image he was getting. It was as if Legolas felt it and he cast a quick look at Aragorn, the Elf raised an eyebrow when he saw what the man was doing. Aragorn looked down, praying hard nobody but Legolas was looking his way. His head snapped up when Elrond stopped before him and hissed. "A word." Before he walked off.

Aragorn looked and caught Elrohir's look. The Elf walked over and said. "I take it Adar has found out." Aragorn nodded and choked out. "I guess so."

Legolas stopped next to the man and asked. "What is wrong?"

"Elrond wants to talk to us." Aragorn muttered, shoulders slouching in defeat. Elladan placed a comforting hand on Aragorn's shoulder before he said. "Do not worry, what can he say? We will wait outside the door until the shouting gets to loud and then we will walk in."

Aragorn nodded and then took a deep breath before he said. "Okay, I cannot do this, can't I just hide?" Legolas laughed before he said. "Come, Elessar, let us go." He took the man's arm and dragged him off towards the throne room where an angry Elrond was waiting.

Aragorn stopped outside the door, it was only by the help of the three Elves that the King of men walked in, followed closely by Legolas . The twins waited outside as they had promised. Elrond looked up when he saw the two warriors cross the room, his expression held something close to anger and hatred. He did not wait for them to come closer before he said, his tone not the calm he usually had but anger evident in it. "How could you?"

Aragorn felt himself under go a change, like he had when he was facing an enemy, utterly calm yet fierce when challenged. "How could I what?" He countered, playing ignorance.

"How can you betray Arwen by lying with somebody else mere days after she had died?"

"I have not laid with anybody since she died." Aragorn answered, not bothering with lies that were not there.

"I did not raise you this way, I do not know what you have become, King Elessar, but surely you are not my foster son. My foster son would not push somebody he loved towards death and then claim another beings life." Elrond answered, this time raising his voice.

Hurt flashed in Aragorn's grey eyes before the man asked, choking the words out. "What do you mean?"

"Do not pretend you do not know. You pushed my daughter towards mortality, saying that you loveed her and promising her filthy lies and when she is dead, you go around and ensnare another Elf, promising no doubt the same lies. If I ever find out who it is you have ensnared this time, I will drag that Elf to Valinor to be judged before the Valar. I cannot believe I have ever called you mine, I gave you everything and this is how you repay me by killing the one I loved the most." Elrond shouted, ignoring Legolas, insanity clearly in his eyes.

Aragorn felt as though the world had fallen from beneath his feet. He had known Elrond did not like this turn of events but he had never known the hatred ran so deep. His composure that he had held for so long was beginning to crack. "I did not ensnare your daughter into anything. I let her go, I even wanted to give back her pendant, but she said I could keep it. When you let her go to Valinor, I thought she would be safe but no, you came in the middle of the war, saying that her life depended on it. She made that choice Elrond, Elves do not choice to fall in love with a mortal, but she did. You said she would not be mine unless I would be the renewed king of Gondor and Arnor and I made it to that. You gave her to me out of your free will, aye it is true I have loved another far deeper then I have ever loved her but that does not mean that I did not love her."

Legolas watched the exchange between them with mild interest and growing unease. Elrond was not sane enough to stay away from Aragorn, something that if the Elf ever snapped out of it, would regret for all eternity. He hoped Elladan had enough sense to get somebody who could help calm Elrond down.

"No. It is a thing men do, they take everything that somebody else holds dear and destroy it. It started with the One Ring and now it leads to this. Men have brought nothing but pain in the lives of the Eldar." Elrond raged.

Aragorn signed before he answered. "Will you let it go. We know you do not like Isildur for if he had destroyed the One Ring this would not have happened, well it did. Ada, I do not want this to stand in our way, I do not ask for your approval but I have never done anything to disrespect Arwen and I never would have if she had lived."

"Do not call me Ada because I am not your father any longer." With that Elrond tried to walk out of the room, Aragorn fell to his knees while the words of his foster father were playing in his head. Legolas stopped before the Elven Lord and Elrond seemed to see the younger Prince for the first time since he had entered the room. "Yes, Legolas?" He asked, a hint of surprise in his voice.

Legolas tried to calm his voice, it would do no good now to yell at Elrond. "My Lord, I beg you to think about what you are saying to Elessar, it has been a hard time for the both of you, you are weary with grief and tempers are running high. You do not want to have this stand between you..."

But he was interrupted by Elrond's short but harsh command. "Save your breath, prince, I know very well what I am saying and I do plan to think about it, until I can come up with the name that this sorry excuse for a human has pledged his heart to this time." He did not spare a look at the broken human behind him and walked out of the room.

Elladan and Elrohir slipped in after the Elven Lord's departure. Legolas walked back over to Aragorn and slowly leaned the man's shoulders against his own, helping him to sit up. Aragorn's eyes were red from crying and his shoulders were shaking with the intensity of the sobs that wracked his body. Kneeling before him, Elrohir said. "He is in shock. Ada's words must have struck a nerve. Legolas can you get him in bed? We will talk to grandmother and father."

"Did you hear what he said?" Legolas asked, anger in his voice.

Elladan nodded and said. "Aye, we did." He stopped before Aragorn and turned the human's head so he was looking at him before he said. "Do not worry, Estel, we will always be your brothers. Take it easy, Legolas will take care of you." Aragorn nodded slowly before he swallowed, grabbing Legolas' extended hand and was helped up. He leaned on heavily on the Elf's shoulders, not trusting his own footing. Together they exited the throne room, trying to make it to Aragorn's private chambers.


Legolas had just sat Aragorn down on the bed before a knock on the door interrupted the Elf's train of thought. He shook his head and while looking at the broken human, he opened the door. A blond Elf, slightly taller then Legolas and built broader was standing in front of the door. He smiled but his grey eyes found the broken King on the bed and his eyes narrowed. "Ada." Legolas greeted the Elf solemnly.

King Thranduil of Eryn Lasgalen nodded at his son before he asked. "What has happened?" Legolas shook his head and his eyes held a sadness when he looked at Aragorn before he stepped aside to let Thranduil in.

"He had an argument with Elrond.." Legolas began the story. After he had finished, Thranduil looked at Aragorn. "You cannot be serious, that sounds more something like I would do, not Elrond. How has he been holding up?"

Legolas cast a worried glance towards the human when he had not responded to anything. "He has been alright, this was the last thing he can take, I am afraid."

Thranduil knelt in front of the human and while slowly raising his chin until Aragorn's eyes were on eye level with his own, he said. "Elessar, hear my words, I know of your feelings for my son and I know how much he loves you. Elrond is merely blinded by grief for his child than anything else. Do not worry and have hope for the future. If need be, you will always have an Adar in me."

In responds Aragorn blinked a few times, clearing his eyes of the tears that were standing in them, he asked. "Thranduil?"

"Aye, child, it is me. Do not worry and rest some more, it has been a weary day and Elrond is not yet gone. There are people that love you and you are a special human, do not forget that!" Before the king stood up, he wiped the last tears away with his thumb and smiled.

Legolas smiled proudly while his father exited the room. "Your Ada is a good Elf." Aragorn said a few moments later.

"Aye, I know."

"I love you."

"I know that too." Legolas answered while smiling and sat down next to the human, the both of them continued to stare out of the room.

Ada, means father. Hope you liked it, please review.
