This chapter contains mentions of incest. If this is a sensitive subject to you I am sorry. However, I believe true love has no boundaries.
That night when legolas and Lindir had a conversation on the phone legolas had asked him for a favor,
"So me and my father's relationship is a little different, and I was just wondering if you could help me with something."
"What would it involve?"
"Pretending that we are dating."
Lindir wondered how that would help his relationship with his father,
"He has been ignoring me for days and flirting with women. So I need him to realise how it feels." Legolas had explained.
"I see." Lindir said thoughtfully. "But what would that involve?"
"Well I will come in often just to talk to you even when my father isn't there, so it seems more real, if my dad asks others about it. Could you do that?"
Lindir thought.
"It could help switch my life up." He said after a moment. The truth was he thought it would show him how Elrond would act. See if there are any emotions for him, he knew it was stupid because he obviously is happy with his wife, but still maybe there's something. . . . "Okay." He agreed finally running his hand through his dark hair. "When do we start?"
"Tomorrow, if you're working."
He was.
Legolas walked into the shop with confidence, his hair braided along the sides. He strode up to the counter ignoring his father's astonished look.
"Lindir," he called happily leaning on the counter.
"Yes, dearie?" Lindir asked across from him. Thranduil gaped at the scene. Legolas reached forward and brushed some hair from Lindir's face.
"Is it time for lunch?" He asked. Lindir turned to thranduil,
"May I go on my lunch break Now?" He asked.
Thranduil nodded silently, his eyes not leaving his son's face. Lindir signed out and walked to Legolas' side. He was surprised when he received a small kiss on the cheek and hug around the waist. Lindir smiled and slid his arm around legolas' waist.
"Goodbye, father." Legolas said sweetly before guiding Lindir out of the coffeehouse. Outside of the window, purposefully in thranduil sight, Legolas stopped and cupped Lindir's face.
"You did great." He said kissing his nose. "I'll buy you lunch."
"Thank you." was all Lindir could say.
