A/N Sorry it takes me so long to update, and sorry about the wrong spacing issues I only have Notepad to put it on. Hope you like :D

Part 5: Legolas POV

I'm so tired. Its three AM. I've been in the stables for over three hours. Probably four. I stumble into the main hall. In my dazed state I cant remember where I am supposed to sleep. Funny, seeing as I can remember exactly where Aragorns bedroom is. I guess you remember the places you want to be.

Gimli comes walking up to me. "Legolas," he says. He sounds worried. "Are you okay?" I wonder how much I should tell him. I decide first thing I need is to find my bedroom.
"I cant remember witch room is mine." I say as calmly as I can. He looks concerned, but apparently he also things the bedroom is the first thing I need. "I'll take you." He starts to lead me down the hall. Once we reach the door I recognize it. I feel stupid for forgetting. Gimli is still looking at me with concern. I decide to tell him as I sit on the bed.

"I… I kissed Aragorn." I almost laugh at the shocked look on his face. "Why?" he asks me. "Because I love him." Another shocked look. I sigh. "I've always loved him. From the time we were young. Of course, he was much younger than I. But it was my job to entertain him on his visits. When he grew older I realized my feelings of affection weren't as simple as brotherly love. I've secretly loved him ever since."

Gimli stares in shock. He recovers quickly though. I am grateful. I hope he will accept me still. He is a very dear friend. I will miss him greatly if he abandons me as I suspect Aragorn will now do."Why didn't you ever tell me?" he asks. "I never told anyone. No one would understand. I would be shunned."

"I would never do that to you." he says. I smile. The first true smile since the kiss. "Thank you." I say. "You are a true friend." "I know" he replies. "What's going to happen now?" I wish I knew what to tell him. I wish things would be the same. They won't be. Nothing is ever the same after a moment like Aragorn and I shared. Everything is different. Forever. "I don't know" I say.

"Does he love you?" Gimli asks of me what I cannot answer. "No. He loves Arwen. At least, I think he does." I answer as closely to the truth as possible. In fact, I know he loves Arwen, but I don't want to admit it. Not even to myself. Oh how far I've sunk into my pit of despair. Suddenly I am very tired.

"Gimli, I need rest. I'm tired" I say quickly. He seems to understand. He nods and gets up to leave. When he reaches to door, he turns and comes back. He hugs me. I smile and hug him back.

Part 6: Aragorn POV

Its morning. I've been awake almost all night. I know now. I've thought all night. About Legolas. About Arwen. About myself. I have to find Legolas. I have to tell him.

Suddenly I collide with something very solid but very small. I am thrown backward slightly, but the young hobbit Pippin was knocked to the ground. "Sorry Pip," I say as I help his up. "Oh its alright. Say, have you seen Merry?" "No, sorry." I reply. As he starts to walk down the hall I have a sudden though. Merry and Pippin spend a lot of time together… "Say Pip?" He turns back around. "Yeah?" "Do you… do you love Merry?"

"Of course." he says without even blinking. "No, I mean… as more than a friend." He looks at me as though sizing me up. Eventually he says "Yeah, I do." "Does… does he know?" "Yes. He's known for quite some time now" he says giving me a quizzical look, as if I should have realized this a long time ago. I feel stupid as I ask "And he returns your feelings?" He nods at me. "How long…have you been… together?" "Oh since well before the fellowship. But we're not public about it. Of course the fellowship is welcome to know, and Sam and Frodo do know, of course they make quite a cute couple themselves, but mostly we keep it to ourselves." I'm in a state of shock. I stare at him with my mouth open. He correctly interprets my shock and a look of fright spreads over his face as he says "You didn't know about Frodo and Sam?" "No!" I reply. "Well…heh… yeah, they're together. Just don't go blabin about it. I don't know if you're supposed to know if you didn't already." "Is there anyone else dating that I don't know about?" He paused for a moment. "I don't think so. Is this about Legolas?" he asks. I slowly nod. He nods back and walks away. I walk in the other direction wondering if the entire fellowship is gay.

Part 7: Legolas POV

I sit at the breakfast table at 10 in the morning. I have slept late seeing as I was up until 4. Aragorn comes bursting in, a slight look of shock on his face. I wonder vaguely if the shock is still there from the kiss, or something more recent. Then he spots me and starts to walk over.

My head is filled with possibly ways to fix the situation, each one more ridiculous than the last. Before I can come up with something that will excuse my behavior from last night he is upon me.

"Look, Aragorn, I'm really sorry about last night. I wasn't thinking and…" I break of. He obviously isn't buying a word of my story. "I'm really sorry," I repeat truthfully. He sits down next to me. "I was just talking to Pippin. Did you know he and Merry are a couple? And Frodo and Sam?" I nod vaguely. Who didn't know? And what did this have to do with us?

"Look, I…" he says. I briefly consider pressing my lips again his again and quickly dismiss the idea. That's what got us in this mess to begin with. Surely he is here to turn me down. But even as I think this he leans forward and lightly kisses me, pulling away after only a second or two. I look at him and he smiles. This time the smile spreads to his eyes. I smile widely and say the words I have been longing to say for as long as I can remember. "I love you." And I collapse into his arms, where it feels so natural that I can hardly believe I've never been here before.

Part 8: Aragorn POV

I walk into the dining hall, a shocked look still on my face, and in search of Legolas. I see him sitting alone and head straight toward him. Ha. Straight. I wonder if anyone of us will ever be straight again.

As I stand next to him he says "Look, Aragorn, I'm really sorry about last night. I wasn't thinking and…" but he stops at the look on my face. "I'm really sorry" he repeats. It me that should be sorry. Suddenly when I'm here, facing him, I don't know what to say. I fall into the seat next to him.

"I was just talking to Pippin. Did you know he and Merry are a couple? And Frodo and Sam?" I say. Where did that come from? I'm rambling. He nods at me. Geez I really was the last to find out.

"Look, I…" I try and start again. But the words wont come. I lean forward and kiss him. He looks at me and I smile. This is right. He smiles and it is the happiest I have ever seen him. "I love you" he says as he falls into my arms. I hold him and wonder why we had never done this before.

PLEASE REVIEW

and also note that this is NOT finished. Still has a lot to go... (evil smile)
