Note: Thanks for the reviews. I took a little break yesterday. Post some ideas if you want to. Let´s begin. We might have a little bit of Eldarion in this one.
"Aragorn, come on, get up." Legolas tried to shake the human awake. "Mmm." Was all that Aragorn produced while he rolled over onto his other side. Legolas signed and shook the man more forcefully. Aragorn bolted upright while he said, in a thick and sleep confused voice. "Who is dying?"
"Hardly anybody." Legolas huffed before he turned to the crib that was standing in the room and a loud wailing could be heard from. Aragorn covered his ears and nodded sleepy before he layed back down, pulled a pillow over his head and said. "Can you tell the nurse to take care of the child?"
Instead of an answer, the pillow was removed from his head and the man was hurled out of bed by the stronger Elf. "No, Estel, enough tiptoeing around. I know you have lost somebody but it is time to focus on the here and now and that is your son." He snapped. Aragorn´s eyes went large at the Elf´s response and he turned to look at his son. The child was crying very loudly and Aragorn had to fight the urge to walk around with cotton stuck in his ear.
Legolas sat down on the bed while the man picked up the small infant. He crawled the child in his arms and was rewarded when the child fell silent, looking at him with large blue eyes. He looked up at Legolas, tears were standing in his eyes while he held the child close to him. "I cannot believe that with everything going on, I had not even had time to see him. I am a lousy father."
"Nay, you had other things on your mind." Legolas answered, lying back down on the bed.
"But still, I should not have been so selfish, I did not even have time to spent with the two most important people in my life, you and Eldarion." Aragorn countered, lying down next to the Elf and placing Eldarion on his chest. He cuddled a little bit with the little Half-Elf before the child´s eyes dropped again and he fell asleep.
Aragorn smiled up at Eldarion before he turned his head toward Legolas and noticed that the Elf was chewing his lip, something he only did when he was upset. A worried look crossed his featured before he asked. "Meleth, what is the matter?"
"Nothing." The Elf casualy replied. Aragorn rolled onto his side and placed his hand on the Elf´s chest, right over his heart. He could feel the reasuring beat against his palm. "Legolas, I have known you all my life, just tell me what has been bothering you. This has not been easy for you iether, tell me so I can help you."
"I do not need your help." Legolas snapped. Aragorn was not used to this, normally the Elf was reserved and calm but not now.
"I know you don´t, love but you see when you love somebody, you can share things that bother you or upset you with that person so you can work on it together." Aragorn calmy explained.
Legolas turned his head towards the human and Aragorn was suprised to find tears standing in his eyes. "I do not want you to die." The Elf answered. Aragorn was baffeled, where did that come from? Instead he turned fully and wiped the tears away before he said. "Who said that I am going to die? Aye, I might be mortal but that does not mean that I should just drop dead. Give me your hand."
Legolas did as he was asked, giving Aragorn his hand. The man gently placed it over his heart, covering it with his own hand before he said. "Feel for yourself. What makes you think that?"
"I was looking at your son and it occured to me. Yet it would not explain my dream." Legolas answered, taking deep breaths to calm himself. "I was merely tired, I should not have brought it up." He had to stop for Aragorn lips were upon him. When they broke apart, Legolas smiled, it was a weary smile but a smile non the less. His smiled turned more wicked when he noticed that Aragorn was not wearing much more then a pair of pants. "Are you aroused, Aragorn?" He teasily asked the man.
Aragorn blushed, it was a deep shade of red. He took a deep breath before he nodded, it was a quick nod but Legolas grinned and asked. "Was that a yes for I did not see it that well."
Aragorn turned crimson this time but he answered. "Aye, I could not help it. Maybe if a certain Elf would do something about it, I might feel better." This was a statement that made the tips of Legolas´s ears turn red.
"I do not think I can help you, I am kind of clumsy." Legolas lazily replied.
Aragorn´s eyes bulched at that statement before he stammered. "I.. I ... I do not really think it is such a problem. But this is consuming me." He sat back on the bed.
"In time we will work this out, but we cannot do this now. There is to much going on." Legolas softly told the human.
Aragorn nodded before he pulled the Elf by the collar of his shirt and kissed him full on the mouth. Panting, he whispered in the pointy ear. "Then we just have to make due." This time it was Legolas who was having a hard time controling himself.
A knock on the door is what brought both males out of their teasings. Aragorn gave Legolas a quick kiss before he walked over to the door to open it, to reveal 3 very angry Hobbits and Frodo. He looked at them in suprise before Sam cried. "How could you, mister Strider? How could you betray Arwen with somebody else, even when you were still married."
Aragorn had little time to reply before Merry said in an angry tone of voice. "I know from the beginning not to trust you but did they listen, no!"
"I should have never been in the service of Gondor, how can I life by the word of a King who is such an untrusty man himself." Pippin answered when Merry was done. Baffeled Aragorn turned to Frodo, when the Hobbit only looked at him with kind interest, the king signed and invited the Hobbits in, offering an explenation.
Legolas sat crosslegged on the bed, highly interested in how Aragorn was going to get out of this one. He was greeted by the Hobbits and greeted them back with mild affection.
How is Aragorn going to get out of this? Just keep reading and the new chapter will be up soon. Leave a review.
