Chapter 5

Early the next morning, back in Imladris, as the elves slowly started their day, Elrohir headed to Prince Legolas' chambers to see if he was awake yet. As he walked he was in deep thought about the fair Prince. He never thought that he would fall in love. When he first saw Legolas he had lost his breath at the sight. Elladan and he were out on an orc hunt when they ran across Legolas and his guards trying to fight off a pack of orcs. The two joined the fight and in no time all the orcs were quickly disposed of. In the aftermath of the fight Elladan came up to Legolas and introduced himself and Elrohir. Elrohir had thought that there had never been a more gorgeous creature in all of creation. The fair Prince had occupied his mind ever since. Elrohir was pulled from his thoughts as he turned the corner that led to the Prince's chambers to find that none of the Prince's personal guards were anywhere to be seen. He wearily walked to Legolas' chamber door and pushed the door open to stare at an empty room.

Elrond stood at Glorfindel's chamber door with his arms crossed as he looked at Glorfindel. "Legolas and the Twins are going with you and that's final," Elrond told the stubborn Balrog Slayer, "Don't make me make it an order."

Glorfindel just glared at Elrond as he walked past him saying, "They had better not slow me down!" As Glorfindel headed to the stables he ran into a very upset Elrohir. At seeing Elrohir's turmoil, Glorfindel grabbed him by the shoulders and asked, "What's wrong little one, what has happened?"

Elrohir just whisper, "Legolas has left."

Glorfindel's replied could be heard throughout the Last Homely House, "WHAT!" He stormed down the halls to Legolas' chambers and threw open the door with a loud thump. He looked around the room for any information as to why the Prince had left in the middle of the night, because the thought that kept going through his mind, he did not like, 'Legolas knew more than he was letting on.' Turning on his heels he headed to the stables again as he said to Elrohir, "Get your brother."

Legolas and Erestor rode in silence for a good part of the day, neither wanting to talk about what was on their minds. Legolas' thoughts were of Elrohir and whether or not he had gotten the note he had left to be delivered to him.

As Elrohir and Elladan where coming down the front steps to their horses a messenger came running up to Elrohir with a letter, "Lord Elrohir this letter was left for you by

Prince Legolas," the out of breath messenger stated as he handed Elrohir the letter.

Elrohir thanked the messenger as he opened the letter and read:

Elrohir,

Sorry I had to leave in the middle of the night. I could not let Erestor travel by himself. It is not my place to tell you why, please know that if I could I would tell you. We will more than likely be heading to Mirkwood. Look for signs if we change direction.

Prince Legolas


"Elrohir what does it say?" asked Elladan

"We are headed to Mirkwood," Elrohir replied.

"Why, what does it say?" Glorfindel asked as he came and took the letter from Elrohir? After reading it he looked at the twins and said, "Let's go, we're headed to Mirkwood."

Mirkwood Erestor lay snuggled in his bed, thinking about Glorfindel. 'Had he made the right decision about coming here?' Legolas had not asked him about going back since that night by the fire. Erestor had laid awake that night thinking about what Legolas had said, 'They had sent scouts out to find him.' He still kept asking himself the question, 'Why? Why would they do that?' Legolas said that what he saw might not have been what happen. He could not believe that, he saw Glorfindel and Elrond kissing, he was not mistaking that. No, leaving was the best thing to do. He could not stay there; anyway, it was good to be home again, he had missed Thranduil. Thranduil and he had been best friends since they had been Elflings. They had experienced many a first together; their first fight, first victor, first kill, and first heartbreak. Heartbreak, that had been the very reason for him leaving and now the reason for him coming back.

Thranduil sat in his chambers with his son across from him, the two of them enjoying a late night snack. Thranduil was deep in thought as to what Legolas had told him, "So it was Elrond that kissed Glorfindel and Erestor just happen to run before he saw Glorfindel push Elrond away?" Thranduil asked after a moment to sort out his thoughts.

"Yes Ada (Dad), it seems to be what happened but Erestor fled before Glorfindel or Elrond could explain that," Legolas replied back to his Ada as he reached up to take another sweet from the plate.

"So let me get this straight, you left a note for this Elrohir, Elrond's youngest son, to come here with Glorfindel and never told Erestor that they were on their way?" Thranduil asked his son with amusement in his eyes.

"Yes," Legolas sheepishly said.

"Oh, how I would not want to be in your shoes when Erestor finds out," Thranduil laughed.

"But Ada, he needs to talk to Glorfindel, to work this out. Even if he does not go back he still needs to sort this out," Legolas defended himself.

"Don't get me wrong my son, yes Erestor needs to work this out, though I can't wait to see his face when Glorfindel shows up here. You are sure he will come?" Thranduil asked.

"Yes Ada, I think in a few days our Erestor will have to face Glorfindel, because this time he can't run," Legolas told his Ada.

The past month had been hell; all Glorfindel could think of was why Erestor would go to Mirkwood, of all places, and how Mirkwood had been closed to all non-Mirkwood elves since the last alliance. He was not even sure that they would be able to get in themselves, but he was going to try. He had to get to Erestor. He had to explain to him. He could not lose his love. So the closer they drew to Mirkwood the more Glorfindel worried that they would not be able to get in. It was with great surprise that the next morning they found an escort waiting for them at the edge of Mirkwood.

As they came in to view of the heart of Mirkwood, Elrohir could see Legolas waiting for them, "Hail, my heart sings to see you," Elrohir called out to Legolas.

"Well met Lord Elrohir, it's good to see you in Mirkwood, what brings you here?" Legolas cheekily replied.

Glorfindel just growled.

"Elladan, pleasure seeing you again," Legolas greeted him.

"The pleasure is mine Legolas; your realm is lovely," replied Elladan.

Glorfindel just growled again, "Legolas where is Erestor?"

"Well he could be in his room, or he could be out walking about," Legolas jokingly said.

Glorfindel had had enough, he grabbed Legolas and lifted him up off the ground, "Where is he, you little nymph!"

"PUT MY SON DOWN NOW, GLORFINDEL!" Thranduil ordered, "I will take you to Erestor."

Erestor slowly unrolled from his covers when he heard a knock on the door. Figuring it was Thranduil he went to open the door, and upon opening it he slammed the door closed. His heart was beating a mile a minute, 'Why was Glorfindel at his door?'"Open this door

Erestor. I have travel for a month to get here and you at least owe me the chance to talk to you," Glorfindel said through the door.

Erestor slowly opened the door for Glorfindel, "Why are you here, shouldn't you be with Elrond?" Erestor asked as Glorfindel walked in.

"You have to be the most stubborn elf I have every met. You know I never thought you to be a coward Erestor," Glorfindel said, ignoring the look that went across Erestor face as he went on, "If you would have just waited instead of running you would have seen me push Elrond away and tell him that I LOVED you." As Glorfindel finished his rampage he noticed that Erestor's face had gone white. Alarmed, he reached for him, "Erestor what's wrong? What did I say wrong?" Glorfindel asked desperately.

"You...you said that you love me. But why, when you can have Elrond? He is a much better choice for you, not me, I'm no one," Erestor stated.

"You are wrong, my love, you are the only elf in all of Arda that I want to spend the rest of eternity with," Glorfindel said to Erestor.

"Oh," was all Erestor could say as he fell into Glorfindel's arms for a passionate kiss.

Glorfindel grabbed Erestor up into his arms and carried him to the bed, laying him gently onto the mattress, he quickly removed his clothes.

Erestor looked at Glorfindel and asked, "Is this a bad time to say that I have never done this?"

Glorfindel just lean down and took Erestor's mouth in a desperate kiss. "Erestor I love you and to know that I, and only I, will ever know your body this way makes me the happiest elf that has every lived," Glorfindel said as he lay down beside Erestor.

Glorfindel took Erestor's delicate ear into his mouth to gently suckle the lobe, then he started to make his way down his throat, leaving little passion marks in his wake. Slowly removing the sleeping robe that Erestor had on, he kissed the exposed skin as he went. Making his way down at an aguishly slow speed, he took a hard nipple into his mouth to suck the sensitive nub, throwing Erestor into ecstasy. Erestor bucked up against Glorfindel, trying in vain to feel more fiction. Glorfindel ignored Erestor's pleas for more, continuing on with his play. Moving on to the other side he repeated his masturbation before he moved down Erestor's flat stomach, stopping only long enough to dip his tongue into his bellybutton, causing Erestor to jump off the bed. Moving on, Glorfindel took Erestor's aching member into his mouth, swirling his tongue around it as he took it over and over into his throat, occasionally laving the head with the flat of his tongue before swallowing it once more, taking Erestor to the brink of orgasm.

Glorfindel reached for the bottle of oil that was sitting beside Erestor's bed. Flipping the top off, he quickly poured some into his hand. Relaxing his throat muscles as he took Erestor deeper into his month, he then pushed a finger passed the guardian ring, preparing him. Glorfindel sucked hard, bring forth Erestor's orgasm. Moving one finger in and out till he felt the body relax, he then inserted another one and continued till his new lover was properly prepared. Not knowing how much more he could handle, he poured some more oil into his hand, quickly rubbing in on his hard arousal. Bending down to take Erestor's lips with his own, he slowly pushed past the guardian ring. Glorfindel slowly inched his way in, not wanting to hurt his love any more than he had to. Finally, in what felt like an eternity, he was fully sheathed. Glorfindel waited only a minute for Erestor to adjust to his size before he started to move, ever so gently, inside his lover. Hearing Erestor's cries of passion brought Glorfindel to release sooner that he had planned.

In the aftermath of their love Glorfindel asked Erestor, "Will you bind with me?"

Several years later

The hall was decked out in its entire splendor for the joining of two faer (souls). Flowers were on every imaginable spot; their fragrance filled the room. Elves from far and wide had come to see the joining of two elves. As the two entered the room, each from different sides, they met in the middle, symbolizing the joining of their faer. Walking side by side, they showed that from this day forward they would walk side by side equally in each others eyes; never one in front or the other behind, but side by side. They came to a stop before the elf leading the ceremony. As the elves in the audience listened to the vows of love exchanged, no one in the room doubted their love for each other.

After the ceremony ended Glorfindel pulled Erestor to the side asking, "Have you ever seen a couple more in love?"

Erestor replied, "Yes, us on our binding day, my husband."

Glorfindel kissed his husband before they went to congratulate the newly bonding couple.
