"Aragorn?" Legolas asked faintly. Aragorn strode over purposely, taking Legolas' hand and yanking him away from Haldir. "Aragorn what are you doing here?"
"I have come to reclaim you my love," he answered simply. "And it seems I have come naught a moment to soon but perhaps a second to late."
"How did you find me?" Legolas wanted to know.
"I had a feeling you would return to the old lover you always spoke so highly of, so I simply asked around to the whereabouts of the March-Warden Haldir."
"Estel Elrondion, I presume." Haldir growled, stepping inbetween the two.
"Haldir," Aragorn acknowledged with a cold stare that Haldir did not back down from. Legolas glanced between man and elf, confusion flitting across his features. Haldir was the first to break the stare, glancing at Legolas with softened features.
"Legolas, why don't you heat up some water so we can make a cup of tea for our guest?" He suggested. Legolas glanced unsurely between the two gents trying to decide whether or not it was a good idea to leave them alone. Eventually Legolas slowly nodded and went back into the house. The two men waited until they heard the door close before fixing each other with another icy glare.
"What are you doing here Estel?"
"Call me Aragorn," Aragorn replied, "And I thought I made that clear, I came to get Legolas back."
"What makes you so sure he wants to come back?" Haldir demanded.
"He loves me," Aragorn smirked, "Feelings like those don't just go away."
"After what you did to him you're lucky if he even speaks to you!" Haldir snarled, "I will not stand aside and let you hurt someone as sweet as Legolas a second time. What is it you want Aragorn? The Evenstar as your queen and the Sunstar on the side? What makes you so special? Do you even feel for Legolas?" Aragorn's face darkened and he took a sinister step forward.
"You have no right to speak to me like this," he hissed, "I have known Legolas my entire life and I've always loved him, I realized that the moment I thought I may never see him again."
"I have known Legolas since before you were born and have loved him for a great while," Haldir said bitterly, "let me ask you something Aragorn, did you know you stole his innocence?" Aragorn looked stunned.
"Legolas was a virgin?" he asked, astonished, "But how can that be? He has been alive for over 3,000 years, you and he lived together. You were going to be bonded!"
"Aye, we were," Haldir agreed. "Legolas always did want to save himself until he was bonded. Legolas loves in a way I have rarely seen, he loves purely. Surely you have heard Legolas be referred to as the Ice Prince?" Aragorn nodded. "Legolas has many names. The Sun-star for his beauty that outshines even perhaps the Evenstar's own. The Ice Prince, Thandruils youngest and coldest son. Legolas is distant and cut off emotionally to most; it may even appear he is cold when in actuality he is protecting himself. The love of Legolas is a gift, one to be treaured and protected. Legolas must've deemed you worthy to be his first, even before you two were bonded and what did you do? You slept with him then proposed to Arwen the next morning. You threw away his gift and now you need to pay for that." Haldir turned to go inside but Aragorn caught his arm.
"Haldir I did not know," Haldir regarded him with a cold gaze.
"Would it have changed anything?" Haldir started to go inside.
"I know you still love him!" Haldir stopped in his tracks, turning around slowly. "I know what he still means to you even after all this time. I am sorry Haldir but I cannot let Legolas go."
"Get your horse," Haldir growled, "You cannot stay in my house." Aragorn nodded slowly, understanding the silent challenge between them. After Aragorn left Haldir went back into his house, seeing Legolas sitting patiently at the kitchen table.
"What does he want?" He asked anxiously.
"What else would he want dear Legolas? He wants you." Legolas closed his eyes, absorbing this information.
"Did he yet leave Arwen?"
"I am sorry, I do not know," Haldir walked over to Legolas and stroked his cheek lightly. Legolas stood up abruptly and fled to his room slamming the door in Haldir's wake.
"Say you would, say you could, say you'd come and stop the rain
Say you'd try, hold me tight but you just give me away
Make me high on lullaby's, a melody for me to say
Say you would, say you could,
But you don't do anything..."
Legolas sun to himself softly as he brushed his hair out that night upon going to sleep. He had spent the rest of his day locked in his room, despite the pleading protests of Haldir. He was just about to get into his bed when he heard a tap at his window. Looking over he saw Aragorn outside of it. Legolas hurried over, opened the window and pulled Aragorn inside.
"Are you crazy?" He hissed.
"Haldir would not let me in to see you, so I had to think of a different way to see you." Aragorn shrugged.
"Aragorn please do not do this," Legolas begged.
"Legolas I miss you," Aragorn confessed. "I...I love you." Leolas was silent for a moment, daring to hope.
"Does this mean you have left Arwen?" Aragorn seemed to ignore the question. He took Legolas' hands in his own.
"Tell me what I must do to have you come back home with me dear one," he insisted. "Anything, anything for my Legolas." Legolas was silent for a moment.
"Leave her," he said quietly. Aragorn kissed Legolas' hands and gazed up at him pleadingly.
"Anything Legolas, anything but that."
"You said 'anything for my Legolas,' if you cannot do this for me then we have nothing to say to each other." Legolas turned away from Aragorn. After a moment Aragorn left, Legolas was glad he could not see the tears falling freely from his ice blue eyes.
