Aragorn froze at the sight before him. His elf, his friend, his beautiful Legolas was laying motionless on the bed, paler then the sheets. The only sound in the room was his shallow breathing, and Aragorn could practically see the life leaving him.

"Legolas," he whispered, rushing to the elf's side. He brushed trembling fingertips along Legolas' cheek. At the contact a pale flush of color crept back into the ivory skin. Aragorn knew what must be done. He knew his love was far gone, but his presence could bring him back. Aragorn carefully lay down next to Legolas and encircled his arms around his waist.

"Legolas," he whispered into his neck. "Legolas please come back; I can't survive without you here." Aragorn sighed and brushed a bit of blonde hair behind the elf's ear. "I never worried about this Legolas. Even when we were just friends I always thought I would leave this world before you. I was always glad for that, for you are my closest friend and I could not handle surviving while perish." Aragorn started planting slow deliberate kisses all over the elf's exposed skin.

(In the mind of the beautiful Legolas)

Legolas sat on the edge of the…well he didn't know where he sat. Behind him was black, before him was black. All he was aware of was he was sitting on a low ledge, his feet skimming the surface of warm black water. Legolas was toying with the idea of slipping into it wholly. The water was the perfect temperature, like a bath drawn especially for his liking. He could not remember exactly why but he felt extremely tense. In fact, he couldn't really remember much of anything. His head felt a bit fuzzy and he could not really focus on any one thing except the water. Normally this would be immensely disconcerting, but for some reason right now it didn't really bother Legolas. All he knew was that a good soak in the water felt to be exactly what he needed.

"Legolas,"

A voice cut through the darkness. Legolas glanced about but didn't see anyone. He concentrated for a moment, the voice seemed somewhat familiar but he just could not focus.

"Legolas please come back, please."

The voice was really starting to irritate Legolas. He was just about to relax but it wouldn't stop bothering him, maybe he should just ignore it.

"I'm sorry I'm so sorry Legolas. I never meant to do this to you please."

Perhaps if he remembered who the voice belonged to he could answer them and make them leave him to his peace.

"You are so beautiful"

The voice was rough, like gravel.

"So strong yet so fragile."

It held a degree of warmth

"I'll miss your laugh, the mirth in your eyes. You always did laugh seldom in public."

Yet it had an air of respect and authority

"But when we were alone you were so quick to joke and tease."

Aragorn! Legolas widened his eyes and stood up. It was Aragorn speaking to him so tenderly. He had to get back, he had to get to him.

(Back with the not so beautiful Aragorn)

Bitter tears threatened to take hold of Aragorn, but he would not break, not while there was still even the slimmest of chances Legolas would survive. Aragorn kissed each of Legolas' eyelids. He touched him everywhere he possibly could without taking advantage of him, he wanted to give Legolas as much comfort as possible.

"Aragorn," it was soft, no more then a whisper but it did not evade Aragorn's sharp hearing.

"Legolas!" He cried, staring intently at the beauty's eyelids, waiting in anticipation to see those azure orbs. After a few nerve wrecking moments Legolas' eyes finally fluttered open.

"Aragorn," he said again, his voice a bit stronger. "I knew it was you." Aragorn ignored the odd comment and embraced his elf tightly.

"I was so worried," he whispered.

"I'm alright, I'm alright," Legolas said breathlessly.

"Don't try to speak just yet, you are still weak," Aragorn fretted. Although they were light, both Aragorn and Legolas heard the sounds of Elvin feet coming closer.

"That will be Haldir," Legolas whispered.

"And Arwen," Aragorn added softly.

"What?" Legolas exclaimed, sitting up quickly. "Arwen? She's here? You brought her here?" Aragorn stood up, a small little smile on his face.

"We will speak of this in a moment, first I must speak with Arwen." Legolas gaped at him, shocked he would leave after what just happened. As he regarded the retreating back of his unrequited love he come to the conclusion that perhaps Aragorn was not the human Legolas thought him to be.

"Legolas! You are alright!" Haldir exclaimed relived.

"Yes, I am fine," Legolas said quietly, still contemplating Aragorn's shocking actions. "I still have some strength left."

"You always did," Haldir remarked fondly, coming to sit on the bed next to Legolas. "Legolas please don't scare me like that again."

"I do not think I will Haldir," Legolas sighed. "You know as well as anyone how stubborn and strong willed I can be. I do not want to fade, not like this. I will not lose control over my emotions again and fall into self pity.

"You will not regret living Legolas," Haldir remarked kindly. "There is still happiness to find out there."

"I know," Legolas sighed. "I know."

(Scene Break)

"Aragorn!" Arwen shrieked when she saw him coming towards her. "Aragorn how dare you just walk out on me like that!"

"Arwen we need to talk," Aragorn said hurriedly. He knew Legolas was confused, and he wanted to clear up things right away.

"You are right we need to talk Aragorn, you cannot disrespect me like that if I am to become your wife!"

"That is just it Arwen," Aragorn said taking her hand. "You are beautiful and regal and everything someone could want. I am flattered…no, I am honored you would want to bind yourself with me, and even give up immortality for me but I need to follow my heart."

"Where does that heart lye Aragorn?" Arwen hissed, "With Legolas perhaps?"

"I am sorry Arwen but this is what I must do." He touched her cheek softly. "There is more for you then half asked love on this world." Aragorn wiped away a tear making its way down Arwens face before leaving her to her thoughts and running back to Legolas.

"Legolas!" He called as he entered the room.

"Aragorn," Legolas said softly.

"Legolas I did it!" Aragorn exclaimed, taking Legolas' hand. "I did it I left Arwen! I left her for you! We can be together now!" Legolas widened his eyes in shock. He was silent for a moment, and then for another before finally reaching a decision.

"No Aragorn," he whispered. "Not this time."
