…TT…TT…TT…TT
Aragorn followed Hamen to the King's Hall with his mind still lingering on the beauty he left on his room. The energy he felt on touching his beloved was immeasurable and electrifying that he was surprised he was able to contain himself. Legolas seemed weak back then and Aragorn found himself guilty for playing on his weakened state. Yet he could not hide his smile at the fact that Legolas did not refuse him. They were about to share something special then…if only…
Aragorn gave the back of Hamen's head a murderous gaze. This guy…
"We are here, Lord Aragorn." Hamen announced as they approached the double doors toward the King's Hall and entered.
The Hall was surprisingly half empty with only few men standing around to witness the meeting. Aragorn snapped in attention as he looked ahead toward the throne where old King Thengel was sitting.
"Your Eminence," Aragorn said as he stood up straight in front of the King and bow lightly.
"You need not bow my friend," Lord Thengel said as he descend from his throne and clasped Aragorn by the shoulder, "I heard it is you who gave hope to my Kingdom."
"You look tired." Aragorn said directly without averting his eyes from the King. "You did fight them, my Lord?"
"I tried my best." said the King sadly, "But I'm afraid my skills are not as sharp as yours. Not that it was ever a match to you before."
Aragorn shook his head and grasped the King's arm. The King looked really down and Aragorn knew where it was all coming from. King Thengel turned his back on Aragorn and paced slowly around the hall.
"We could not defend the city well… my men are down. The attacks of both Uruk-hais and goblins are tiring as all. We were losing hope."
Thengel looked back at Aragorn quietly.
"I thought this was our last sunrise."
Aragorn did not have anything to say to that despair. He lowered his eyes and thought of Gondor. Has the fortress and main defense of the country still holding? Have they enough men to fight? These questions occupied his mind until the King spoke again.
"Aragorn, I need you to help me."
Aragorn looked up surprised. King Thengel was looking worrisome.
"We cannot defend this country by ourselves. We need assistance. We need-"
"Strider of the North has already made arrangements to help Gondor, King of Rohan."
Aragorn and Thengel looked up towards the owner of the voice. Rohimnūn was standing by the doorway and he was looking at the pair of them with annoyance.
"Who is this man?" asked the King with a frown.
"I am a Captain from Gondor." answered Rohimnūn without further ado as he stepped inside the hall and faced Aragorn and the King. "Stopped by to do some help and now about to leave."
King Thengel looked surprised for awhile as Rohimnūn turned his eyes to Aragorn.
"Now that we have done what you want, can we now do what I want?" he asked defiantly.
Aragorn felt his blood boil but remained calm.
"The men are still taking their rest. We cannot risk losing any of them as you have suggested before."
"And that can wait till only this sunset." Rohimnūn plainly put forward, his cold eyes meeting that of Aragorns.
"Alright." The ranger muttered indifferently. He was getting tired of nonstop dealing with the Gondorian that he felt like agreeing to him this time.
"This is absurd! A Gondorian came to help my city?" King Thengel burst out with sharp eyes on their side.
Rohimnūn averted his eyes from Aragorn to the King.
"Unwillingly, your Highness." He said thoughtlessly.
Aragorn wanted to shut Rohimnūn's mouth but thought better of it. He expected the King to do it after all. He was however disappointed when the King remained calm.
"With pride of a Gondorian," King Thengel said levelly, "I'm surprised you even came."
Rohimnūn raised his eyebrows but the King already turned to Aragorn.
"Well, it's really a shame, Lord Aragorn, but under circumstances I understand your position. Let us pray that Rohan would be at peace even for awhile but for now you can take your rest."
"I'll try to help on my return." Aragorn promised as he clasped shoulders with the King once more. Rohimnūn eyed him and then walked out the door.
"That man…" muttered the King softly, "I can see a devil."
"A devil maybe that cares for his country." Aragorn found himself unexpectedly say.
"We can be adamant about our country's safety." Thengel said as he sat back on his throne. "Believe me, I know…"
Aragorn chuckled.
"Father!"
The men looked up as a lady wearing a long dressed entered the hall. Aragorn stepped aside as the maiden approached the King and bent down to kiss his hands.
"Oh Father, we've only just returned from the cave… it's all terrible…"
"There, dear… everything is safe now…" murmured the King as he pulled the young maiden up to her feet, "Where is your brother, Theoden?"
"My brother is helping around the courtyard." She answered as she stoops down the throne. Aragorn wanted to leave the two royalties to themselves but the King suddenly gestured his hands toward him.
"I'm afraid you haven't thanked our real hero, Lord Aragorn of the Northern rangers."
The maiden suddenly looked on her side and saw Aragorn standing there quietly. Aragorn gave her a small bow.
"This is Théodwyn, Aragorn, my youngest daughter." presented the King.
Aragorn stared at the maiden from her soiled dress and shoes, to her brown hair and watery green eyes. She looked like a maiden from some stories he heard.
"It's a fine meeting, don't you agree?" added the King to Aragorn with a smile. Aragorn looked sharply at the King and then to Théodwyn who kept looking at him as though she had never seen anyone for so long. Aragorn cleared his throat and offered her a bow.
"It is good to meet you, Lady Théodwyn." He said quietly and clearly with his eyes lingering on the maiden's. Standing up straight, Aragorn turned to the King and bid a quick farewell.
"I shall be on my chamber." He said and turned quietly on the door.
King Thengel and Théodwyn watched him go. When the ranger was gone, the King turned to his daughter with a smile. "He's a fine man."
Théodwyn's eyes went round and she cleared her throat.
"Father, you have never praised any man before aside from brother and yourself."
"Ah… that is because I am talking of a very fine man…do you not like him?"
Théodwyn looked at her father with surprise. She then looked back at the door to where Aragorn had vanished and said curtly, "It is only our first meeting, Father."
The King looked at his daughter and laughed loudly. "But of course!"
Théodwyn shook her head at her father's playful taunt but she remained looking at the doorway nonetheless.
"Indeed," she murmured to herself, "But I have never meet such an appealing man as him…"
..TT…TT..TT..TT…
Aragorn nearly dashed as he walked back toward his chamber. He felt something out from the King's words. Something of a conspiracy. Shaking his head, he walked down the hall way to where he knew his beauty was waiting. Legolas. His beautiful Legolas was waiting for him. The idea struck Aragorn like lightning that his pace quickened more.
Upon stopping at the doorway, Aragorn slowly knocked for as he instructed, Legolas kept the door close. There was no answer from the inside.
"Legolas? It is me…"
The man waited until the door was opening slowly and Legolas' blue eyes met his.
"What did the King want?" The Elf asked when the two of them were safely inside and Aragorn was pulling his boots off while he sat beside him.
"He thanked us for the assistance," Aragorn answered quietly, "Though we hardly need the gratitude, I'll help them even without it."
"I know," Legolas agreed as he watched his man struggle with his boot. "The King just wanted to show appreciation Aragorn."
Aragorn nodded and sighed as he gave up on his boots and thought about things quietly.
"He asked me to help him until the end."
Legolas looked up at Aragorn with question on his eyes. "What did you answer?"
Aragorn chuckled, "Rohimnūn appeared and you know how he is…he said we'll leave this dusk…damn him."
"Ah..." Legolas nodded in understanding. Silence filled them for a moment as Aragorn remained lost in thought. Legolas watched him tenderly and smiled slightly. The room was half dark for the curtains on the window were pulled down. The room was echoing with their whispers and breathing.
"Would you want me to untie your boots, my Master?" Legolas' voice floated in the room.
Aragorn's thoughts exploded as he heard this and felt the same excitement he felt awhile ago cameback as he watched Legolas slid below him and pull off his boots gently.
"We need to rest if we are to travel by dusk." Legolas told him as he pulled one boot after another, "Especially you… you've been exhausted from everything."
Aragorn smiled and waited till Legolas had stood up. The elf had already changed his clothes into more light clothing that Aragorn wondered where he got them. When the elf stood up, Aragorn grabbed him by the waist and hugged him close with his head resting on the Elf's abdomen. Surprised, Legolas looked down at the man and only saw his unruly black hair.
"Aragorn?"
"Hush…I just want to hold you close like this."
Legolas held his breath for awhile and then dropped his right hand gently on the man's head.
"Did something trouble you?" the fair being asked gently as his hands caressed the black hair.
"A lot of things are troubling me… everything… but you are here. I'm satisfied."
It was Legolas' turn to chuckle.
"You are sprouting some sweet words, my lord, I really have a feeling something happened. Should I be worried?"
It was sudden- Legolas felt a tug on his arms and in a flash he found himself lying on the bed and face to face with Aragorn who was on top of him.
"Don't be." The man whispered smiling meaningfully at the elf, his eyes traveling from the elf's blue eyes to his lips, "I'll sprout as many sweet words for you, my love,"
Legolas started to smile and was about to answer when an excited lips sealed his mouth. They kissed for awhile until Aragorn slid his mouth on the Elf's neck again, his hands freely wandering around the elf's body. He slid his calloused hands inside the upper clothing and roamed the innocent body with his caress. An intake from Legolas' breathing provoked Aragorn on touching his body more. Pulling the hem of Legolas' dress up, Aragorn gently slid the dress up the elf's head and took it off, exposing an unspoiled body before his eyes.
"The beauty of heaven…" whispered Aragorn as he lowered his lips on Legolas' and they kissed passionately once more. Legolas could only moan a little and breathe deeply as Aragorn's lips started to wander down his neck and to his chest.
"Ahh...!" the elf cried in surprise as Aragorn's mouth caught one of his nipples and start sucking it while the other was being rubbed on by one of the man's wandering hands.
"You look beautiful." Aragorn whispered as he looked up his beautiful mate. Legolas was having hard time breathing. He was keeping his voice down and shutting his eyes close every time Aragorn moves. He couldn't keep a stifle of moan when he felt one of Aragorn's hands already made contact with his rod.
"Aragorn!" he cried frantically when he felt a new craze filling his body. Both excitement and ecstasy was making Legolas feel warm and the nonstop jolt below him was making his whole body erect.
A feeling of pleasure overwhelmed his body and he finally felt the release. Breathing heavily, Legolas shut his eyes as he found weakness overcome him.
"I can't stop…" he heard Aragorn say from somewhere below him. Confuse, Legolas felt his legs being spread and something warm touched his opening.
"Aragorn-!"
It was all followed by a cry.
….TTT….TTT…..TTT…..TTT…..
The fire crackled before them.
Aragorn and Legolas sat with the elf in front and the man behind him, his arms wrapped around the elf's shoulder. They were covered together by a blanket, watching the dancing flames before them and talking.
"So that is what he said?" Aragorn said that broke the silence.
"Yes." Legolas murmured, his head leaning on the man's shoulder.
Aragorn kept quiet for a moment, the flames reflected on his eyes.
"I'm glad you told me." was Aragorn's only answer.
…TT….TT…..TT….TT
Sunset.
Every ranger around the vicinity of Rohan were already preparing to leave. The villagers kept thanking them while the rangers kept their humble.
Legolas was just standing by his horse and already waiting for Aragorn. He kept his promise to stay away from Rohimnūn after their talk last night if Aragorn kept his promise not to kill Rohimnūn yet. Clearly with his troubles shared with the man he loved, Legolas felt lighter.
Smiling in spite of himself Legolas caught a glimpse of Aragorn from a distance. Aragorn was talking to the King which wasn't odd. But what interested Legolas' attention was the maiden walking along with them. If he's not mistaken then it's the daughter of the King. Unintentionally, Legolas kept his eyes on her and the way she move around Aragorn. The lady always kept her eyes on Aragorn, always showing him her smile… always walking beside him. Frowning a little and keeping the feeling of strolling toward Aragorn, Legolas felt a tug on his side.
Reluctantly he looked down and found himself looking at a small girl.
"Oh." He managed to say and smile a little.
"You are very pretty." said the little angel in awe, "I wished I could have a girl's long hair like you have!"
Legolas blinked at the child and bent down.
"I'm not a girl..." he said firmly to the young girl. He smiled down at her and looked up to Aragorn who was busily talking to the King, "But I am loving like one..."
He kept his eyes on the lady but it was not out of ill-thoughts. It was of respect to her feelings because he knew that she has feelings for Aragorn and in one way or another, he feels the same of wanting to get his attention.
"Are you ready, Legolas?" Aragorn asked when at last he mounted his black horse.
"I am." Legolas nodded. "Have you bid the King and his daughter farewell?"
"I did and they understand… though they want me to return if I could."
"Of course." Legolas sighed in understanding.
"Shall we go on then?" shouted Rohimnūn from ahead of them, looking impatient as usual.
"Get going!" answered Aragorn, and giving Legolas a look and a smile, the man carried on.
They left Rohan as sunset began to fade.
