Elrond/Thranduil - mpreg, insecurity
I don't own anything. Tolkien does.
Thranduil lay silently in his room resting. There was no way to explain how uncomfortable he was as he felt his child move inside him. Breathing deeply, he kept his eyes closed. It wasn't until an arm wrapped around him from behind and rested on his belly that he moved to place his own hand on top of his lovers'. They stayed silent till a soft kiss was placed on Thranduil's neck.
"Are you okay?" Elrond asked softly.
"Uncomfortable," he answered.
"Need to talk?"
"I am just not use to this. I don't feel right due to the fact that normally men don't carry children. I keep getting weird looks and I wish I could hide, even cover up the fact that I am with child, but I can't. At the same time, I wouldn't change it for anything in the world."
"I don't know what I can say that will make you feel any better, but I promise you that I see my strong, handsome husband when I look at you and if we ever want another child, I will carry next time," Elrond responded before holding Thranduil tightly and kissing him.
"You sure about that?" Thranduil asked rolling over to look Elrond in the eyes.
"I promise," Elrond said placing a soft kiss to his lips, one hand moving to Thranduil's hair as his other caressed the bump.
Thranduil kissed back as he let his eyes close, his own hand moving to Elrond's hair and gripping it rough. He wanted to pull, but knew if he did, then that would lead to other things that he didn't particularly want at this moment, but another part of him wanting to please Elrond in every way he could. Before he could pull Elrond's hair, Elrond pulled back causing Thranduil to open his eyes and look at him.
"Do you want another child?" he asked looking into the grey eyes of his lover.
"I do if you don't mind," Elrond said softly remembering how close he was to his brother.
"I don't mind, but let's wait a bit before we have a second one," he replied as Elrond nodded in agreement.
The inspiration for this is being 15 weeks pregnant and just very insecure with how I look. I am so use to binding and dressing masculine and yet I have a belly and my self confidence is very low these past few days. I needed an outlet, so I figured I would write.
