Chapter eight

Glorfindel had never understood Erestor and the way the other seemed to think. But it was getting even more difficult. Every time he tried to confess the soft burning love he felt for Erestor the other ignored him and found a way for him to not say them. Of course Glorfindel understood that something like love was not a thing that anyone would be able to find this early in any kind of relationship but it was a way for him to confess his care for the other and he did not know any other way. But time after time the other elf seemed to carefully brush his words aside and made it unable for him to say them.

"Glorfindel?"

The blonde elven Lord looked up, smiling bitterly when he saw the one of his thoughts stand before him, looking rather confused. "Yes, Erestor..." He muttered, acknowledging the other elf, wondering if there was anything he needed.

"You seem so absent, is everything all right?" Erestor asked, nervously rubbing his hands together. He was afraid that he exactly new what was on Glorfindel's mind and it was not something that he could give any sort of advise for. The blonde elven Lord had told him many times that he loved him and somehow Erestor had not had the heart and courage to return those words, to even completely hear them coming from Glorfindel's lips and so he had tried to ignore them and brush them away whenever the other even tried to confess his undying love for him.

Erestor did not know why he found it so difficult to accept the words that Glorfindel had spoken to him, to just be happy and content with the words of love that any other elf would gladly hear coming from the warrior. He knew many that sought Glorfindel's love and was never given, and even though it was given freely to Erestor he ignored it.

"Well...," Glorfindel muttered, shaking Erestor out of his own train of thoughts. "My mind is troubled and the one who could help me clear it does not wish too..."

Erestor felt his heart clench in his chest, hammering before completely going numb and quiet. The words stung him like no others could, knowing they held a certain amount of truth and bitterness towards him. The raven haired elf even had to look away from Glorfindel's sight, feeling uncomfortable while the other's deep ocean blue eyes were upon him. "Perhaps he does not know how to help..." Erestor tried, hoping to relief some tension that was building between them and all around them.

"I think he knows how to help, the solution is simple." Glorfindel returned in a snide remark, his words cutting into Erestor's heart as a knife would cut in someone's flesh.

"That is an unfair thing to say...," Erestor started, looking up at the blonde elven Lord. "you should ask this person in question first before you answer for him." He decided, stepping closer to Glorfindel.

Glorfindel frowned, sitting up in his chair. He glanced at the other and caught the other's eyes. "Perhaps he should try to explain then..., for I am completely lost and left with riddles that I do not understand." The blonde said, hoping it would get Erestor's attention and give him an opening to explain why he was reacting the way he had for some while now.

"What if this other elf is afraid to explain." Erestor tried, keeping his eyes on Glorfindel. Not daring to look away and break the little contact they had. He felt his heart hammering in his chest, a lump in his throat. He hadn't realized that Glorfindel felt this strongly about the things he had not been able to say before, even if he certainly wished he would. And knowing that now made Erestor wish he could give it to the other even more.

"Afraid he might be," Glorfindel stated, letting the other's words circle around in his head. "But he should try, even if he is afraid."

Erestor sighed, walking over to Glorfindel and leaning against the desk in front of the blonde warrior. He crossed his arms, creating a safe place between them to keep him from saying things or doing thing that he might regret. "Love is something strong and beautiful..., but it is also bitter and has it's thorns..." Erestor said, sighing. "It can be given freely or taken with force..., it can be taken away from you…, it can hurt you and cause you grief."

Glorfindel parted his lips to speak but the other didn't let him speak. The sadness coming from the other made the blonde want to reach out and take Erestor in his arms. But Glorfindel also knew that he needed to give Erestor space if he ever wanted to know the reason why the other did not give him his love.

"I had love once...," Erestor whispered, looking down at his pale hands. "It was taken from me with brute force, it betrayed me and without realizing it myself it was given to someone else before my eyes, but I never knew..." The raven haired elf continued. "And when I had all ready lost it, I still thought that it was mine."

Glorfindel listened, feeling his stomach turn. He looked away, frowning. The blonde elf could feel a jealous feeling overcome him even though he knew that Erestor spoke of a love that had been long gone. And he also felt a feeling of sadness, realizing that Erestor had been betrayed by someone that he had freely given his love. To be betrayed by someone you love, Glorfindel decided, was something that no creature should ever experience.

"And for ages he held my love..., my heart and my soul." Erestor continued. "and I could not give it to anyone else..."

Finally Glorfindel spoke, not wanting to hear any more. "Erestor..." He started but the words soon left him when Erestor knelt down beside him, looking up at him with saddened eyes. The Lord felt the urge to take the other's hands and so he did, pressing a kiss to them, letting the other know that there was no need to explain any further.

"But you Glorfindel, with your strange ideas, remarks and smiles...," Erestor chuckled. "You freed me, you gave me my love back to me..." The scribe said softly. His heart seemed to skip a beat, feeling nervous as he was kneeling beside the blonde warrior. "And even as I wish to tell you how I love you, I am afraid to do so, because I do not want to be hurt again."

Glorfindel shook his head, moving himself to the ground, pulling Erestor in his arms. He smiled, and wondered if the other even realized he had, in few words, told him that he loved him. "That is fine Erestor..." He whispered, pressing a kiss to the other's jaw. "Because I love you, and I will love for the both of us..., until you are able to say those same words to me in return." Glorfindel chuckled childishly, sitting back to glance at the other. "Even if that takes eternity."

Erestor smiled sheepishly, rolling his eyes at the other's words. Somehow it seemed that Glorfindel always found a way to change a very serious conversation into one with jests and light hearts. "I might not be able to tell you that I love you, but I can certainly tell you that I care for you..."

Glorfindel grinned, pressing a kiss to Erestor's lips. "And that is enough..." The blonde warrior decided. And even though they had not been words of love, Glorfindel found that it heart was still and content even when those were not the words he had longed to hear from his lover. But, Glorfindel decided, those words were definitely enough and held the clear message that Erestor was so afraid of to say.

"It was not Ecthelion, was it?" Glorfindel asked after a while of silence.

Erestor rolled his eyes in annoyance, pulling away from Glorfindel and punching him against his shoulder. "How is it that you can always ruin a perfect moment." He said, getting up and leaving in an angry and annoyed state.

Glorfindel smirked, watching Erestor leave, his heart felt light and he laughed softly while getting up himself. "I guess not." He said to himself before following Erestor to once again apologize.
