WOO Andro is back...wait, am I really the only one who thinks this could be a good thing?

CHAPTER 23

Erestor began to stand. Andro was here. This could mean only one thing: he had found out that Hadereth had changed and was blaming him for it. Andro held up his hands.

" Peace Erestor. I only mean to talk."

Erestor raised an eyebrow.

" You never only mean to talk."

Andro lowered his head.

" I know I have hurt you Erestor. I have spoken with Hadereth and he says you forgave him. I want to ask your forgiveness as well."

Erestor's eyes widened. Andro? Forgiveness? If he could forgive Hadereth for taking him against his will, surely he could forgive Andro for what he had done. There was only one problem. Before Erestor had gone to Elladan, he still had love for Andro. He did not understand why. Erestor swallowed hard as he looked at the elf. He saw there were tears swimming in Andro's eyes, which he had never seen before. Erestor put his hand on Andro's shoulder.

" You are forgiven."

Andro let the tears fall from his eyes.

" I thought you hated me."

Erestor shook his head.

" I never hated you Andro. As a matter of fact, there was a time when I...I loved you."

Andro's eyes widened.

" I thought you loved Hadereth."

Erestor shrugged.

" I thought I did, but I was wrong."

Andro nodded, but did not reply. He did not know how to take this new information. Erestor stepped away from him and sat down.

" I even loved you after everything that had happened. Then after the Valar showed Elladan was my past could be like in the present through a dream, I could no longer hide. Then I find that Hadereth is Lord Elrond's mate of soul and I realized that as much as I will ever want it, the one I want as my mate of soul will never be."

Andro sat beside Erestor.

" You mean Elladan?"

Erestor shook his head.

" No."

Erestor took Andro's hand into his own.

" I mean you."
