CHAPTER 22
*EPILOGUE*
Erestor laid side by side with his husband on their bed in their new home in Valinor. Elladan smiled to himself. He was content now. No one would ever take Erestor from him. It had been nearly heart breaking when he had originally thought of Erestor wanting his Ada. Then something in Erestor changed after Elladan began to court him. Elladan felt Erestor stir, which had meant he had fallen asleep. Elladan wrapped his husband in a protective embrace. He would never allow any harm to come to Erestor. No one would play with his emotions or his heart ever again. Elladan felt Erestor's lips touch his chest and smiled.
" Are you only pretending to sleep hervenn nin?"
Erestor kissed his husband's chest again.
" Perhaps."
Elladan chuckled.
" You mean I did not wear you out already?"
Erestor shook his head.
" I believe we will need to try again."
XXXXXXXX
**THE NEXT DAY**
Erestor and Elladan sat on the shores of Valinor, looking in the direction of where Imladris was. No one knew if it still stood after Elladan and Elrohir had sailed. Elladan remembered back to the night that his Ada had broken Erestor's heart. The night that Erestor had become his.
" If you truly do love Ada, perhaps I can have you until he will? Please allow me to court you Erestor."
Erestor smiled.
" Yes Elladan. You may court me."
Erestor turned to Elladan and smiled.
" You are thinking of the night you began courting me."
Elladan nodded.
"What were you thinking of?"
Erestor smiled once again.
" When I fell in love with you."
" Elladan!"
Elladan turned around to see Erestor running to him. Erestor wrapped Elladan in his arms and whispered the three words that Elladan thought he would never hear from Erestor.
"I love you."
Elladan smiled at his husband.
" I want to hear you say it again. As though it were the first time."
Erestor placed his hands on either side of Elladan's face and kissed his husband's forehead softly.
" I love you."
