Author's Note: The reviews are awesome! Thanks, guys! Remember to keep reviewing. Anyway, I'm going to try to update the story as quickly as I can but I can't guarantee that I can make it quicker due to upcoming school exams but don't worry the story will go on! Anyway, I received two votes for Willow/Boromir, which means Boromir is going to be paired up with everyone's favorite red-headed witch (Willow)!
Faith/Boromir 1
Willow/Boromir 2
Personally, I'd vote for Willow/Boromir because I think they'd make a great couple. Anyway, on with the story!
Summary: After a disastrous attempt to go over the Path Of Caradhras, the Fellowship head over to the Mines Of Moira despite uneasy feelings from Wesley, Angel and Gandalf.
That was one of the worst things I ever went through! Piper thought as she walked with Leo heading toward the Mines Of Moira with the rest of the Fellowship. It took hours of walking to get to the bottom of the mountain and Piper was feeling very exhausted and her shoulder was sore but not as bad. She then looked up at Leo and smiled at him. He smiled at her back. Then she heard a voice calling out her name.
"Lady Piper, Frodo! Come and help an old man!" It was Gandalf. Piper looked up at Leo.
"Go ahead, Piper." Leo said. "I think he would want to speak with you." Piper nodded and ran to catch up with Gandalf and Frodo. As soon as she reached them, she remained at the old wizard's side.
"How is your shoulder?" Gandalf asked her.
"Not as sore so it's better than it was days ago." Piper replied. But then she felt a sickening pang in the pit of her stomach when she gazed at Frodo. She could tell that he was feeling the power of the Ring growing and he wasn't the only one.
I can feel it too and I think that Gandalf is feeling it as well.
Gandalf must have noticed the look on her face because he asked. "You feel the Ring's power growing don't you?"
Unable to utter a word, Piper nodded and so did Frodo.
"I feel it too." Gandalf said in an understanding voice. "You must be careful. Both of you."
"I know what you're going to say, Gandalf." Piper said. "You don't have to say it. The Ring is treacherous and will corrupt. I've been around that thing long enough to know by now."
Gandalf smiled at her. "You are a wise one, Lady Piper." He said. "And very protective with the people around you."
"I have to be." Piper said. "I would really hate it if something really bad happened to my sisters or Leo or Chris or any of my new friends or even Frodo here. I saved his life didn't I?"
Frodo smiled at her. "I never got a chance to thank you for that, Lady Piper." He said.
Piper grinned at him. "What are friends for?" she said and shook his hand. Then her face went sober again.
"Don't worry about me or Frodo, Gandalf." She said. "If anybody in the Fellowship tries to take the Ring," Piper threw a piercing glare at Boromir who was passing her, Gandalf and Frodo, "My sisters, Buffy, Dawn and I will give him Hell before he does."
Gandalf chuckled. "I'm sure you will, Lady Piper. I'm sure you and your sisters will." He said. Then Piper heard Gimli gasp and she looked up.
"The Walls of Moira." Gimli gasped. Everyone in the Fellowship including Dawn looked up to see the walls of the Mines Of Moira. Piper found it hard it believe that Dwarves actually lived in mines and in mountains.
"I've heard that Dwarves usually keep their entrances secret from the outside world." Chris said. "If I'm not mistaken."
"You are right, Chris." Gandalf said. "Sometimes their lords would forget their secrets how to get in."
"Why doesn't that surprise me?" Legolas said quietly to himself but not enough for Buffy, Willow and Gimli to hear. Gimli threw Legolas a writhing glance while Buffy and Willow exploded into giggles. When Willow's eyes made contact with Boromir's, she giggled even more and then burst out laughing. Noticing the confused look on Boromir's face; Xander glanced at him with a smile.
"I haven't heard Willow laugh in a long time." He said to Boromir. "It has been a very long time since she developed feelings for a man too."
"Had she not been with a man to marry?" Boromir asked.
Xander shook his head. "No. In my world, we have people who prefer to court people in their own gender meaning a woman would rather have a relationship with another woman than a man and men would rather court other men."
"It's strange to you, I know." He continued. "That was the way Willow was. After Oz, the man she was with for a time, she began to have a relationship with a woman named Tara. It was a strong relationship. They separated after they had a few problems but eventually they got back together. But then something happened. Something that nearly caused her decent to evil."
"What happened to her that would cause her to fall to evil?" Boromir asked wanting to know more.
Xander went on and told Boromir about what happened after Tara was killed and Willow's fall from grace and also how she nearly destroyed the world. After hearing the whole story from Xander, Boromir couldn't help but glance over at Willow. To him, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. He couldn't believe that she was capable of killing a man much less destroy her own world but hearing what he had just heard from Xander, he had to believe it. As much as Boromir couldn't admit it to Xander or Buffy or anyone else in the Fellowship, he realized that he had fallen in love with Willow. He was sure that Willow had feelings for him and she confirmed it earlier when she laughed upon looking at him. Boromir was so lost into thought that he didn't notice Buffy tapping his shoulder.
"Hey! Boromir!" she was yelling. At that point, Boromir snapped out of his trance and looked up at Buffy.
"Sorry for yelling at you but I have a question to ask you." she said apologically.
"It is all right, Lady Buffy. You did not startle me." Boromir said in reassurance. "What is it you want to ask me?"
Buffy hesitated before she asked her question. "Are you in love with Willow?"
Boromir was completely taken aback by the question. "What?" Buffy squeezed her eyes shut instantly regretting asking the question and groaned. Mental note: Never guys ask questions like that.
"I'm sorry, Boromir." Buffy said. "I shouldn't asked that question but the last time she was with a man, she..."
"Yes, I know." Boromir interrupted her. "Xander told me." he went on to tell Buffy what Xander told him and Buffy confirmed everything to him. Then with some hesitation, Boromir answered Buffy's question.
"Yes, I am in love with Lady Willow." He said quietly. Buffy smiled.
"I knew it," she said. "I knew it the day you laid eyes on her."
Boromir was shocked. "You knew?" he asked.
Buffy nodded her head. "Just needed some confirmation from you just to know." She said. "Willow won't be happy with me for saying this because she wanted to tell you herself but she has feelings for you too."
"Just promise me something?" she said. Boromir nodded. "Don't do anything stupid like getting yourself killed. The last thing I want is Willow going crazy again over deaths of her friends."
"I will not do that." he said.
"You swear?" Buffy asked seriously.
"I swear on my life, I will not do anything to hurt Lady Willow." Boromir vowed.
Buffy smiled at him. "Thank you, Boromir." She said and she and Boromir gripped hands then Buffy did something that surprised him and herself. She took Boromir in her arms in a friendly embrace. The Gondorian warrior was surprised but he returned her hug in the same fashion. Then they pulled away and Boromir ran to catch up with Willow and tapped her on the shoulder. She spun around and grinned when she saw him.
"Hi, Boromir." She said. "What...?"
Her words were cut off when Boromir kissed her squarely on the mouth. For the first time since Tara's death, Willow felt extremely happy and content and she completely surrendered to his kiss.
Again and again, Willow and Boromir kissed giving in to their feelings for each other. Neither of them noticed the shocked looks on the faces of Willow's friends or the satisfied looks on Buffy and Xander's face. Aragorn was smiling at the sight before him. Legolas was also smiling and placed a kiss on Buffy's forehead. Dawn and Frodo both looked shocked and happy at the same time. The Charmed Ones, Leo, Chris and Cole just grinned. Everyone else including Merry and Pippin were shocked at the quickness of the forming of the relationship between Willow and Boromir. After a long five minutes, the newly formed couple pulled away from their kiss and they smiled at each other.
"Willow." Boromir said in a soft whisper.
"Yes?" Willow whispered.
Boromir paused before he said his next words. "I love you."
Tears welled in Willow's eyes. "Really? You really love me?" she asked hoping that this was not too good to be true.
"I do, Willow." Boromir replied. At that point, Willow burst into tears. With tears in his own eyes, Boromir traced her tears with his fingers and wiped away the tears that were pooled around her eyes.
"I love you too, Boromir." Willow sobbed. "I love you more than you would ever know."
Boromir kissed her on the forehead and held her for a long time before she cried herself out and remained at his side until they reached the end of the walls of the Mines of Moira.
I will love you for the rest of my life, Willow. Together we are one. Now and forever. Boromir thought and for the first time in a very long time, he felt joyful and content knowing that he found the woman he would love forever.
