Chapter Five: Celegorm: Adult
A/N: Similar to Maglor this prompt is one that I feel should be split into two parts, one for while he was young, and one while he is older.
Prompt: Celegorm was always a restless sleeper unless he could cuddle up to someone. When he got Huan from Orome he could sleep soundly. Before he was gifted Huan he would periodically sneak into Maedhros or if he was there Maglor's bed for the night. He tried to tone the habit of doing so down when he saw his younger brothers didn't have the same problem. Huan usually acted as his pillow when he was camping or just away from home.
Celegorm flopped onto his back. It had been a long day, and he was exhausted. He thought briefly about mustering up the energy to go find Huan, but the weariness that he felt convinced him to stay where he was. He slept for a couple of hours before he jerked himself awake. He groaned, cursing the fact that he was a restless sleeper, and thought once more about going to find the hound.
After attempting to get up again and failing he gave up on that idea. He started to drift off when a cool nose pressed against his ear. He jerked away, and grinned at his dog. He tried to sit up managing to move a little; letting the hound lay where his head had just been.
"I was going to look for you, but once I was lying I couldn't gather the energy to get up." He informed the hound.
Huan pressed his nose against Celegorm's arm, and huffed slightly. The hunter laughed tiredly, and nodded. "All right. All right. I'm going to sleep now."
Huan rested his head on his front paws listening intently to make sure nothing disturbed his friend. Around midnight Curufin stumbled into the clearing. Seeing his brother sound asleep he nodded respectfully at Huan thanking him for helping Celegorm to sleep. Curufin took off his cloak, and carefully lay next to Celegorm. He covered both of them with his cloak, and fell asleep. Huan huffed softly in amusement, closing his eyes deciding that his hearing was enough to keep them safe for the rest of the night.
