Chapter two
Dinner was held in an uncomfortable silence between Aragorn and Legolas. All though Elrond had noticed he said nothing of it, not wanting to make things worse between the two of them. Firiël was not present and all though Elrond was glad to see this it also saddened him when he remembered what he had asked of the blonde elf. Of course Firiël had agreed with him and was leaving Rivendell once Legolas and Aragorn were wed. Elrond smiled softly when he saw at least one pair of elves happy, Erestor and Glorfindel.
Legolas looked up at Aragorn, trying to think of something he could say to the man when he heard the soft voice of Arwen. "Legolas," She started softly and smiled at the blonde elf next to her brother. "What do you think of Rivendell?"
Legolas turned to look at her and smiled politely. "It is very beautiful." He answered and received a nod from the woman who was sitting on the other side of him.
Aragorn seemed to snort and got up, looking at his father. "Can I be excused?" He asked.
Elrond nodded. "Of course Aragorn."
Legolas watched him leave, his stomach clenching. "He hates me..." He decided and turned to look at Lord Elrond.
"That is not true Prince Legolas," Elrond returned. "Aragorn is not happy with the arrangements that are out of his control but he does not hate you for it." The man decided and smiled softly at Legolas. "Do not worry Legolas, he will learn to love you."
Legolas closed his eyes and gave a short nod.
O O O
As days passed Legolas did not see Aragorn, maybe because he had tried to avoid the other man. Right now he was sitting in the gardens, Glorfindel sitting next to him.
"If you are so afraid of seeing him then why are you in the gardens?" Glorfindel asked, looking at his friend.
Legolas looked up at him. "He is spending a day with Firiël at the borders Rivendell, I will not see him here."
Glorfindel frowned, taken aback that Legolas seemed to know every step Aragorn took to be able to stay away from the man he was suppose to wed at the end of Spring. "You shouldn't have to hide from him, he is your future companion."
"He does not wish to be." Legolas reminded him.
Glorfindel sighed and shook his head. "That is nonsense, the two of you were meant for each other, he must feel something towards you."
"Oh he does," Legolas started. "Disgust, hate, anger...he will never love me, he will not allow himself to love me."
Glorfindel took Legolas' hands in his own, making the smaller elf look at him. "Legolas you have loved him since birth! You will suffer underneath his selfishness."
Legolas shook his head. "I am not weak Glorfindel."
"I never said that Legolas, everyone would suffer to see their love not returned."
Before Legolas could speak they were interrupted by a servant. Legolas smiled at Nayefar, one of his personal servants who had come with him to Rivendell, not only as his servants but also as his friends. "What is it Nayefar?"
"Mithrandir has finally arrived." Nayevar told him with a bright smile.
Legolas got up. "Where is he?" He asked, needing to see his old friend, there was much he wanted to tell Mithrandir.
"I am right here, Prince of Mirkwood." A old voice muttered from behind them.
Legolas turned and he suddenly felt relieved to have Mithrandir at his side in these days. "Mithrandir, I have missed you." He told his friend. "There is so much I wish to tell you."
"And you will have all the time to do so." Mithrandir said to Legolas, knowing exactly what had happened from Elrond's own mouth.
O O O
Aragorn played with a strand of Firiël's blonde hair but his mind was on Legolas. He hadn't seen him for a couple of days and Aragorn started to wonder why. He had even tried to find the man but without success.
"What are you thinking about?" Firiël asked, looking into the distant, his head resting in Aragorn's lap.
The dark haired man shrugged. "Nothing important."
Firiël nodded and turned his head so he could look up at Aragorn. "Maybe you should try to spend more time with him," He started, knowing exactly what Aragorn had been thinking about. "You might find that you could learn to l-"
"Don't Firiël." Aragorn whispered.
The blonde elf kept watching him. "Please Aragorn, don't be so stubborn."
Aragorn opened his eyes and sighed. "Fine Firiël, if you would like to see me spend some time with Legolas then I will." He decided and got up. "Let us return to Rivendell."
All though it pained Firiël to ask this from the one he loved most he knew there was no other choice.
O O O
Mithrandir looked at his young friend and shook his head, when Legolas told him he was trying to hide from his future companion. He said nothing, looking at Legolas.
"I know I am not suppose to hide from him Mithrandir, but..." He was silent when he heard a knock on his door. He got up and walked over to the door, opening it. When he saw Aragorn standing on the other side he looked down. "Yes?"
Aragorn watched him for a second and then he opened his mouth to speak. "Would you like to join me in the gardens?" He asked softly, hating the fact that he had to spend time with Legolas instead of his beloved Firiël.
Legolas frowned and did not look up. "Um, of course."
Aragorn nodded and then he noticed Gandalf standing behind the blonde elf. "Gandalf." He smiled to see him. "Why are you here?"
"For the wedding of course." Gandalf told him and smiled at Aragorn. "Well, I will leave the two of you alone now."
Legolas blushed and followed Aragorn who was all ready walking away. Both were once again silent until they reached the gardens and sat down on one of the ivory benches. Legolas looked around, not knowing what to say to the man next to him.
"I haven't seen you for days."
At hearing this Legolas frowned and glared at Aragorn. "I didn't think you would notice."
"Of course I noticed." Aragorn returned.
Legolas sighed. "Why are we here Aragorn?" He asked all of a sudden, startling Aragorn with his question.
"Because I wished to spend time with my future companion." He said then and in Legolas' eyes he could see that the blond elf did not trust his answer completely.
"Very well." Legolas muttered and turned to look at Aragorn again, trying to keep him from seeing the pain he was feeling inside of his stomach right now, he knew Aragorn had done this because someone had asked it from him, why else would Aragorn want to spend time with him all of a sudden? "Tell me about yourself."
"There is not much to tell." Aragorn decided. "I do not even know much about myself anymore." He turned his head to look at Legolas and was taken aback to see compassion in his blue eyes.
"I understand." Legolas whispered and tried to smile at the man next to him.
Aragorn looked around and frowned when he noticed a pair of elves in the distance. "Erestor and Glorfindel." Aragorn decided, pointing towards the two of them.
Legolas followed Aragorn's gaze and blushed when he saw the two elves kiss each other, his heart warmed at the sight. "Glorfindel spoke a lot about Erestor when we were travelling together, they must really love each other." Legolas decided, wishing that Aragorn and him could feel the same way about each other as Erestor and Glorfindel.
