It was past one in the morning when Thranduil couldn't sleep. He decided to go for a walk when he went by his son's bedchamber. He was about to knock to see if Legolas was still awake but stopped when he heard him. Thranduil knew that he wasn't alone but he could not hear the other person. The Elven lord's face slightly colored when Legolas moaned in heated pleasure.
The king smiled maybe his son came to his senses after all and grabbed a she-Elf to quench his desires for the Marchwarden. Thranduil turned to leave when he heard the louder shouts of passion from his son.
"Haall-dirrr!" he shouted. "Yeeesss! Haall-dirrr! Yeeesss!"
Then Thranduil heard the low silky melodic voice, "Come. . .my. . .prince. . .Come for me."
The Elf lord had heard enough. He was about to burst into the room when a hand stopped his entrance.
"Let go of me," Thranduil hissed.
"Why are you so bent on keeping them apart?"
"The Guardian cannot make my son happy nor can he give him the things that Legolas is accustomed too."
The other Elf shook his heard. "That's where you're wrong my friend." Thranduil was lead away from the couple's room. "You're not worried about heirs. That is just an excuse. You're worried about what would happen if Legolas becomes pregnant."
Thranduil look directly into his accuser's misty green eyes. "I would not have to worry about that if everything had turned out well for Tandilion."
"It would have if you had not insisted that he be present for the birth of his brother and I warned you that if he should travel that he would put himself and the babies at risk."
Thranduil remained quiet knowing that the half-Elf spoke the truth. "I do not want Legolas to go through that," he finally admitted.
"What do you think is going to happen if you separate him and Haldir?" Elrond asked. He's determined to keep the young couple together.
"Being bound to a 'guardian' will make him an outcast among his people. I can not advocate the throne to Legolas if he sides himself to someone of a lesser stature."
So now we get to the root of the problem. Thranduil didn't want his son to be married to someone who couldn't offer a strong alliance. That's why he wasn't opposed of Tandilion and Elladan's marriage. However, Elrond could not tell Thranduil about Haldir it was up to the Marchwarden and Elrond knew that Haldir wasn't going to offer that type of information just for the sake of being with Legolas.
Thranduil was going to have to accept the guardian without any other strings attached, but something else was bothering Elrond. "When are you going to tell young Greenleaf about his brother?"
Thranduil stiffened. "Legolas will not know of his brother or his sister for that matter. As far as he knows he is the only child."
"You are wrong for keeping this from him. He has a right to know about them."
"And I will not have you telling me what I need to tell my son. It's bad enough that Tandilion died."
"Que wants to know about her brother. Do you know how hard it was to keep them apart when he arrived in Rivendell? Why want you see her and your grandkids?"
"She went against my better judgment and bound herself to your son who is also bound to his brother." Thranduil bent down to Elrond so he could hear everything that was going to be said next. "Tell me Elrond how it feels to know that your heirs sometimes share the same bed lusting after each like elflings. My daughter will never have Elrohir whole heartedly for he has bound himself to his twin."
Elrond didn't even voice his hurt when his son-in-law died or how it nearly killed his older son. Elladan was devastated from the loss of losing his mate and children that he nearly died. Elrohir bound himself to his brother to keep the Halls of Mandos from calling him. The bond that the twins share can be severed when Elladan takes another mate.
"That would have never had happened Thranduil if you had listened to me. Elrohir bound himself to his brother to save his life. Tandilion would still be alive-" The king was about to strike the half-Elf but Elrond caught the hand. "Do not think that I waste my time sitting behind a desk all day that I forgot how to defend myself."
Elrond practiced every day with his bow and sword. He would still be able to lead his army and fight if need be.
Thranduil opened his mouth to speak. "Please forgive my hasty action Lord Elrond."
"It would do better Thranduil if you leave your son be."
"That I can never do. We leave for Mirkwood when weather permits." Thranduil turned and left to go on his walk.
Elrond knew what Thranduil would give into accepting Haldir but convincing the Elf king was going to be difficult. He was going to speak with Celeborn and Galadriel right after breakfast. They were going to have to come up with a plan soon.
Thranduil was going to leave taking Legolas with him. The fool was going to kill another son with his stubbornness.

A/N: So, now you know why Thranduil is against Legolas and Haldir being together. OMG! What do you think would have happened if Elrond hadn't shown up when he did? Legolas has a brother and sister. I'm sure you weren't expecting that. Haldir has a secret that could make Thranduil change his mind but he doesn't want to tell the Elf king. Can anyone guess what that secret is?
Tell me your thoughts and any comments that you might have ^_~
