Note: Thanks for the reviews. Here is a sort of reunion. I need ideas so send me some. I shall not keep you waiting so here it is.
"A ship! A ship has arrived. It is the ships of the Lords Elladan and Elrohir." The long awaited words reached Legolas while he hurried down to the beach. He was just about to set foot upon the sandy shores when two strong hands stopped him; words murmured that made him freeze in his tracks. "Come, you cannot go down there."
Legolas whirled around and cried to the owner of the hands that held him. "Do you know how long I have waited to see this ship, Gandalf? How long I have waited to hear those words? How long my heart has ached to see those upon the ship? And now you are telling me I cannot go down to the beach, surely you have lost your mind." He tapped his foot when the wizard did not answer right away.
Gandalf heaved a sign and answered. "Aye, Legolas, I know all these things. But this is neither the time nor the place, there have been a few complications, it surprises me that the ship made it here whole. You shall know in good time…."
Legolas's face was blank but primal fear gripped his heart. Fear for his friend but most importantly his mate, if Aragorn still was that. "Gandalf, what is going on?" He asked once again, his voice a whisper.
The wizard looked at him a with look a pure sadness in his face while he said. "I give you my word, Legolas that I would like nothing but for you and Aragorn to be happy. But that cannot be at the moment. Like I shall, you shall know before this day is through but please, come with me, you cannot go down there, unless you wish to endanger Aragorn. I can help you but you need to trust me."
Legolas looked back at the beach where the ship was going to land in a matter of minutes and a small sob escaped his lips. He wished to hold Aragorn so much right now but he looked back at Gandalf and nodded, allowing the wizard to lead him away.
"Can you see him?" An impatient Aragorn asked for the fifth time to his amused twin brothers. "Patients, brother, you shall see your beloved in good time. Then you shall be able to spend all the time you want with him." Elrohir smiled and gazed once again out towards the mass of land lying before them.
Elladan's face was grim, he looked around seeing figures stand on the land and he answered in a joyful voice. "Naneth is here and she looks radiant, as well as Atar." Aragorn's felt his breath hitch in his throat; he could still remember how he and Elrond had parted. "I would be honoured to meet your mother." He offered to cover up his silence.
Elladan turned to him and answered, feeling the human's need to be reassured. "I cannot see Legolas just yet but he shall be here. Do not worry little brother." Aragorn's heart painfully clenched when he heard the words, he hoped with all his heart Legolas would be there.
When the ship came to the shores Elrohir tossed the few possessions that they had to the waiting Elves on the shores who caught them and carried them off. Then the three brothers jumped down from the ship into the shallow water, Aragorn slipping and falling down was more like it, he grinned loudly while he was helped up by Elrohir. "Well, I see that since you have your youth back, you also have been clumsier."
Aragorn had to call upon all his self-control to keep himself from running towards the beach and seeing if Legolas was truly there. Smiling faces of Elves came into view and Aragorn smiled in delight at seeing Sam, Frodo and Gimli once more.
"Strider, you have not aged a day, which is quite a remarkable tale for a mortal man." Frodo greeted him. "My friends, it has been many years since I had the pleasure of walking in your presence and I look forward to do so once again." Aragorn smiled at them while Frodo hugged his legs.
"Master Gimli, it is great to see you once more, the Elves have been treating you with respect as I can see by your bulging belly." Aragorn joked. He was rewarded by a bullring laugh from Gimli and the Dwarf answered. "Just because you have a stomach of steel does not mean that all of us do. You have not aged a day over 45 my friend, it is great to see you once more. The Prince shall agree."
"Where is Legolas?" Aragorn asked softly, feeling the need to feel the Elf's arms around him. "He was right behind me but perhaps Gandalf knows, if he was here. He is sure at the tower of the Valar. You should check there." Frodo answered.
"Estel, I wish to have a word with you." Elrond's voice cut through the air like a knife. Aragorn felt himself stiffen before he answered in a hissing voice. "What is it that you wish to say? Cry words of anger towards me, or perhaps forgiveness. You took the one I love away from me when we just recently discovered one another. You would not let me come to Rivendell or to the Havens to say goodbye. No, stealing him away in the night was what you did. I do not know if I can forgive you, perhaps after I discuss this with Legolas, I shall see then."
"Yes but Legolas is not at the beach now is he? How can you be so sure that he loves you? Perhaps he has found somebody else?" Elrond's voice made Aragorn stop before he turned and while striking Elrond with all his might, he answered. "Shut up, it is not true what you say. Legolas loves me as I love him." With those words he rushed from the beach.
He did not see where he was going all he knew was with a sense of forbidding that he was needed at the Tower of the Valar. He stopped outside the entrance, not sure if he was allowed to enter.
He bowed his head and tears seeped from his eyes, how he wished he could be with Legolas right now. Why could the Elf not be with him? A soft hand on his arm guided him inside. "Come, you are expected and need to wait for your judgement." Celeborn was beside him and lead him inside.
Aragorn insides clenched, this was never good. He allowed Celeborn to lead him inside. "What is going on, my Lord? Why is Legolas not here?" Questions flooded from his lips and Celeborn grimaced. The ancient Elf did not look at him but answered. "You are to be judged by the Valar before you can be with him. If they find you unworthy, I do not know yet what they intend to do but prepare yourself."
Aragorn was taken to a grand hall, he saw Gandalf standing there, looking at him with sad eyes. "Gandalf, what is this? Please take me to Legolas." Aragorn asked, looking at the wizard.
"I am right here, Aragorn." The voice he had been waiting 110 years to hear was speaking to him, the fair voice of Legolas. Aragorn turned around and a huge smile graced his face. "Legolas." He breathed, noticing the sad look upon his love's face and but there was joy alight in his eyes.
He walked towards the Elf, trance like, the need to feel that body against his own. Relieving him of the need in his groins and the ache in his heart that had been there ever since they had left the shores of Middle Earth. Legolas straightened, pulling himself up to his full height while he said. "Aragorn, don't. You will only hurt yourself. Wait meleth." There was a hysterical note in his voice that made Aragorn stop.
"What do you speak off, Legolas? Do you not want me anymore?" Aragorn whispered, knowing Legolas would hear him. Legolas twisted his hand so that Aragorn could see the ring upon his finger, the ring Aragorn had gave him a long time ago, the Ring of Barahir.
"Do I want you, my love, I have missed you touch for too long. But we cannot do that. The Valar will toss you into the arms of Mandos, I cannot stand that. I would give anything to hold you right now." Tears were standing in his eyes.
"No, why? After so many years, after ridding the Earth of Sauron, they will not allow me a single touch. I waited so long. Why now? Why, Manwe? I know I do not have the right to demand this, but why can you not let me touch my beloved?" Aragorn nearly screamed, the sound was heartbreaking and Gandalf turned, feeling the earth tremble underneath the sorrow of the two warriors.
He shook his head, his white beard spilling all over his shoulder while he said. "Hurry, one touch is all I can give. I shall take full responsibility for this, do not tarry long and make it swift. I am asking a lot but you shall be together, this I swear by the power bestowed upon me."
Gandalf looked at them while a new hope shimmered in Legolas' eyes. Aragorn smiled at his old friend and the next second he rushed over to his Elven Lover, he stopped right before Legolas and wondered what would be the best place to feel Legolas's touch. "Only one touch, my love, what can I possibly do? How can I only touch you in one place that will cause both our souls to soar and let our desires lift?"
"The most intimate of touches is a kiss; it shall set my soul on fire just to feel your lips upon mine once again." Legolas voiced his thoughts. The man smiled when the thought entered his mind and he leaned forward, he did not dare to brush his lips against those of Legolas, instead claiming the Elf's lips as his own the first moment they touched.
Their souls wept for the intimacy of the touch. Their bond flared back to life and Aragorn felt tears stain his cheeks, yet it did not matter, he was back and nothing would keep him from Legolas, even if he had to oppose the Valar themselves.
Legolas took Aragorn's hand in his own and then it happened. A blinding light and both were hurled backwards. Both landed on their back while skidding back a few paces. Legolas sat upright the next moment and he tried his best to get back to Aragorn but to no avail, every time he came closer he was pushed a little bit further.
Aragorn stood on shaky legs and he cried softly. "No, do not do this to me. Please I don't ask for much but let me be with him."
Legolas was not faring much better, yet his anger had taken over and he shouted. "Let this council commence and let me speak first. I shall show them what happens when I am sent a vision of what is to come."
At those words the doors opened and both of them swallowed. Aragorn walked in first, followed closely by Legolas.
Hope you liked it. Let me know what you wish to see in the next chapter, which shall be the council of the Valar. And review of course.
