okay so I have realized, I have totally gone away from the summary on this one: maybe not so much, but a little lol...so here at chapter 19, the current pairings are: Elrond/Cirdan, Erestor/Elladan, and Glorfindel/Elrohir...this chapter is set 6 months after chapter 18...
CHAPTER 19
Erestor twirled Elladan in the air. Elladan laughed at his beloved. Erestor had just asked Elladan to pledge troth with him and Elladan had said yes. This was, of course, after Erestor asked Elrond if it would be alright if they had not gone through the entire one year of courtship. Elrond had given him permission to ask Elladan to be his betrothed. Erestor had not expected Elladan to actually say yes, but when he did, Erestor could not help but feel nothing but joy in his heart. Elladan was laughing so hard he was almost in tears as he asked Erestor to put him down. Erestor set his beloved down and kissed him softly.
" You are sure about wanting to pledge troth with me?
Elladan nodded.
"Why is that so hard to believe?"
Erestor fidgeted for a moment.
" Even if we are no longer a secret in Imladris, we are still to keep one another a secret from your grandparents when they arrive."
Elladan shook his head.
" I will not hide my love like an elfling hides a toy."
Erestor couldn't help but laugh.
" I think it is the hound that hides the toy meleth."
Elladan rolled his eyes.
" You're doing it again."
Erestor bit his lip. In the past 6 months, he had corrected Elladan more times that he had ever done to Elladan in his youth. Erestor kissed Elladan's forehead.
" Forgive me seron vell?"
Elladan smiled and kissed Erestor's cheek.
" I always do."
