Brothers
By Niniel
"Dan..?" the elf turned the corner, looking for his twin. Where was Elladan when you needed him? "Dan?" he called again as he rounded the last corner before he reached the rooms they shared. He put his hand on the handle of the door, but he hadn't been fast enough and before he pressed it down Elladan had already opened the door and Elrohir nearly fell through the door.
"Hey, Ro…" Elladan said as he was forced to keep his twin from knocking them both over. "You know you don't have to yell loud enough to wake the Valar for me to hear you, I'm just around the corner after all. Ro? Are you listening to me?" he asked as they both entered their rooms, Elrohir seeming highly disinterested. "Ro…?" Elladan tried again and was rewarded when his twin turned towards him, but Elladan felt that somehow Elrohir's thoughts were elsewhere. "What is it Ro?" he asked a little anxious. The only times he'd seen his little brother this way was when Elrohir was seriously hurt, but surely he could not be now, they were home and when Elladan saw him only a few hours before he had been fine. Elrohir looked up at him his lips curling into a big smile. "I got a date…"
Elladan positively beamed, this was better than he would have dared hope for.
