Note: Thanks for the reviews, here is the chapter, I need some ideas really bad. Let's begin.

Aragorn stretched before he held the bow more tightly and resumed firing at the target, a chuckle behind him brought him out of his concentration. He turned and while raising an eyebrow to the blond Elf and the 4 Hobbits standing behind him, he asked. "What in the name of the Valar is so funny, Legolas, Meleth-nin (my love)." The Elf shrugged and answered. "Nothing Aragorn, merely that you still have not learned the stance the way I showed you, remember, meleth?"

Aragorn cast another look at his beloved before he answered with a smug grin on his face. "No, I don't, want to show me?" Legolas shook his head while another grin spread over his face and soon was standing beside Aragorn. He placed his hands on the human's hips and turned them a little before he gently kicked Aragorn's left foot as to say to move it. Aragorn grinned but did not move and the Elf sighed before he put more force behind his kicks.

"Aragorn move your foot, or I will tackle you to the ground, you would not want that, now would you?" Legolas asked. The Hobbits had all turned their backs except for Pippin, but a jab from Merry rectified this situation.

"I don't mind if you do." Aragorn answered. Legolas scowled at the human. The King who was so blunt seemed much more comfortable with making their relationship public then he was. "Aragorn, I will not stand for this, if you wish to continue then you can do this alone, so tell me now, what is your answer?" The Elf answered in an icy whisper.

Aragorn looked at his love before he spoke. "What in the name of the Valar are you talking about?" Legolas froze before he answered. "It would be nice if we could keep this in the bedroom and not outside of the walls."

Aragorn turned fully and asked. "But can I not be proud of being called meleth by you?" His expression was innocent but Legolas shook his head and answered. "That is not the question." He eyed Aragorn through eyes darkened by anger before he shook his head and walked off. Aragorn was not the only one who turned. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the Hobbits asking, "what has happened that makes him behave as Sauron himself has gotten into him?"

Frodo stepped forward and while beckoning Aragorn closer he answered. "It is just my guess, but I think Legolas is not quite as comfortable to display this kind of affection in public as you are…" He would have continued but Aragorn exclaimed, "but he was just flirting with me in public, why is he acting like this now?"

"Maybe because it is not quite as close to him as it was now, he seems to be very insecure, perhaps talk to him about this?" Frodo helpfully suggested. Aragorn nodded and while putting a hand underneath his chin, he answered. "Perhaps you are right, he is completely different when we are alone then he is in public, as you might have noticed on the quest."

"I have never seen Legolas as you have seen him, I am sure." Pippin answered, Aragorn rolled his eyes and said. "That is not what I meant but he is different when he was on the quest, he was more relaxed then when we were in Lorien or even in Gondor."

Pippin nodded and answered. "Ah, now I understand." Merry shook his head and Sam answered. "Why do you not go and look for him? I am sure you will find him and once you explain it, he must understand." Aragorn smiled and then walked off, in search of Legolas.

It did take him quite some time to find Legolas and in the end it was only because he knew Legolas wanted him to find him. He had climbed the highest tree that was the farthest away from the colony. The Elf looked at him with a blank face before he settled back and watched the sun climb in the sky.

Aragorn chewed on his lip before he softly asked. "You do not like it when I say something about our relationship?"

Legolas looked at him once again before he answered. "I am not so secure with our relationship and yes, you are right, I do not wish for everybody to see how much we love one another, it could be taken the wrong way."

Aragorn looked at him before he took the Elf's hand in his own, he slowly raised it to his lips, planting a kiss on the knuckles before he said. "You have been courted, I know so, by both male and female alike, why do you wish to deny me such right when you have given it yourself mere days ago?"

"I do not deny it, I am merely saying that I am not that comfortable with showing our affection in public, as great as it might be."

"If you call that showing affection, my sweet Elf, then you have not even to begun to see what I can do. I grew up with Elrond and the twins. In the fair house of Elrond, there were none who never showed any affection whatsoever towards one another. Please understand that I can see why you do not want this, but also understand my point of view. I love you and I wish to show it to the world, I hope you can understand that."

"Maybe you are right and I am to cautious but maybe I am not, I love you son of Arathorn, may there be no doubt about it. Ah well, I never grew up knowing affection like that. True my father was a king and he never showed any affection save when we were in private, and even then all I had to do was ask. You on the other hand have been raised differently and look differently on those things. I hope we can find some middle ground on this."

Aragorn snorted and asked. "How about like in front of our friends, I will try to hold back and then when in front of strangers, we pretend, like we have pretended all these long and hard years."

Legolas smiled and then softly brushed his lips over Aragorn's hand and he answered. "Aye, meleth, I can do that, it is meeting you half way, it would be worth it. But no more word games, I can get enough of those from the Dwarf."

Aragorn smiled and asked. "Sure, pointy ears, what ever you say." Legolas expression changed rapidly and Aragorn roared with laughter before he started climbing down as fast as he could.

At the bottom of the tree, he took off, followed closely by the Elf. He ran by the Hobbits, who looked at him with mild interest. Their interest grew however when Legolas caught up with him and tackled him to the ground, wrestling with his human counterpart. "You and Gimli are the most annoying people I have ever met. I cannot believe how I could have bonded with you." Legolas growled, trying to push the human down.

"Well it was your choice, I did not have a say in the matter." Aragorn gasped in between laughing fits. "What do you mean? You did not want it." Legolas asked, sitting down on Aragorn's legs.

The human shook with laughter and answered. "No, I am not Elven, I don't have to bind to love somebody." Legolas at that point nearly strangled the human and was soon covered with Hobbits, who dragged him off.

"Mister Legolas, sir, think about what you are doing? You are trying to murder the King of Gondor. There would be far to much evidence pointing in your direction, sir," Sam said while clinging to Legolas' shoulder. "Yes, slipping poison into his food would be much better, wouldn't you agree?" Merry gasped.

Aragorn stood up and brushed himself off while he answered. "Thank you for sending me these great friends, Eru, they are trying to kill me." All of them looked in his direction and Frodo answered. "Shall we, gentlemen?" They nodded and soon Aragorn was covered with Hobbits who tried their best to hug him. Legolas smiled and looked at Aragorn who was wrestling freely with Sam and Pippin.

"Shall you join us, or are you to pretty for that, Elf?" Aragorn gasped out. Legolas grinned and while flicking his hair out of his eyes, he batted his lashed and said in a mock high pitched voice. "If you say so, my dear."

Aragorn's lips curled into a smile and he answered. "Aye, I would say so." Legolas grinned and soon he sprang onto Aragorn. The Human wrapped his arms around the Elf and held him close, looking him into the eye before he said. "I hope this is not too much, Legolas." Legolas smiled and in that moment everything seemed to evaporate and Legolas softly kissed the human, answering. "Never to much, Aragorn, never."

"Well it is nice to finally see the true reason for the King's need to go to Ithilien." An angry voice said and Aragorn gulped before he stood up as quickly as he could. He looked at the angry Faramir before him and gulped again, not knowing what to say. He felt Legolas' hand close around his, at the sight of Faramir and the Elf answered in a voice befitting the prince of an Elf king. "Let us discuss this like the friends we are." Faramir nodded and dipped his head, leading the way.

Hope you liked it. How should Faramir react as the King's advisor and friend? Like Elrond or more like the Hobbits and Gimli, let me know.
