Note: Thanks for the reviews. Sorry it has taken me so long to update but real life was way too demanding. But anyway, let's begin.
"Aaaahhhh…"
"Be silent, you mad elf, they will spot us again if you keep up this mindless screaming. You sound like a lady!"
"Perhaps if you would release me and not startle me so, I would not have had the need the scream…"
"You will scream my name soon enough. Not just yet, my beloved…"
"Glorfindel, stop that! This is unbecoming of you. My ear is not meant to be licked…no matter how much you may think I enjoy it…I do not know what attraction my ears hold for you…"
"I think you may enjoy by the sounds you make and the way your keep rubbing against me…yes, just like that…."
"Where are we anyway?"
"A closet!"
"Glorfindel! You have dragged me into a cleaning closet?"
"Yes, I have. It will serve our needs into this small confined space…"
"Glorfindel, ah…do that again…."
The door suddenly opened and light filled the small space, showing two elves intertwined, still fully dressed, through the clothes were rumpled and the hair ruffled. Elrond stood with his hands on his hips, fuming at his general and counsellor.
Erestor was the first to recover, straightening out his clothing and hair with a few strokes. Then the younger elf had the good grace to blush but Elrond had already fixed his eyes upon the source of all their problems, Glorfindel.
Well, the problem really being, him having to seek everybody Valar forbidden place of his large house to find his wayward companions. He had to search high and low, at every possible timing when one of them but usually both failed to appear for lunch, dinner or breakfast.
Luckily he had heard them when he had been walking down the corridor, not that he had wanted to hear but it was getting old and he was at his wit's end.
"Can you two not just get married tomorrow? It would put an end to all these problems and it would make me so much happier."
"But Elrond, surely we will not be able to forget the year period to see if we are right for each other." Erestor argued while Glorfindel merely pretended not to grin smugly at his lord.
Elrond looked ruffled, even more so then them. The usually sharp grey eyes were dulled and Erestor was worried for his lord. But one glance at the torch filled hallway reminded him that most people, even elves, did not like to be wakened up in the middle of the night to go in search of betrothed who could not stay away from each other.
"I will excuse that precious one year period of yours but if you do not get married within this week, I will send one of you to Lorien until the year is up." The elven lord finally snapped.
Glorfindel was smiling but before the golden elf could open his mouth to say his piece, Erestor cut across from him, giving Glorfindel a glare. "How soon can the ceremony be arranged?"
"Within a few days I am sure. I will tell all the elves present in Imladris to help to prepare for this grand feast and I am sure that within the week you will be bonded." Elrond sighed, glancing at them as he ran a hand through his long loose hair.
Erestor appeared unsatisfied but then Glorfindel smiled and answered. "It would be wonderful, Elrond."
"Good…" The tired elven lord sighed wearily as he glanced back at the closet. "…then I suggest you close that door and each go back to your respective rooms, alone I might add and I can go back to sleep and we will start to arrange for the ceremony tomorrow. I am tired of having to find you at every turn or in all possible positions."
"Surely it is very productive to walk around in the middle of the night…." Glorfindel began as Erestor jammed his elbow in the taller elf's ribs.
Elrond released a weary laugh. "No, it is not. My wife has ordered me to sort this business out. Now we go about this a different way for I simply do not trust you both enough. Come with me, Erestor. Good night, Glorfindel."
Erestor turned to give his beloved a frown as he saw the puzzled expression on Glorfindel's handsome face before he followed Elrond down and out of the hallway. Erestor kept up with the tired tred of the other elf easily as Elrond finally stopped by his office door.
He opened it, allowing Erestor in. The councillor frowned at his lord, wondering what Elrond was thinking. "If you do not mind terrible to spend the night here, I do not trust Glorfindel one bit. He is too cunning for his own good. I am going to lock the door. If you need anything, just ring the bell…"
Elrond looked so tired that Erestor tried to swallow away the smile that came to his face. It was all Glorfindel's fault of course. If Glorfindel did not sneak about, trying to kiss or do other things to Erestor at every possible angle, this would not have happened.
Erestor did not like sleeping on the couch but when he saw the dulled gaze of the normally composed elven lord, he nodded. "It will be fine. I am sure I can sleep the remainder of the night here."
Elrond released a strangle moan at the prospect of having to be forced to get up early again to guide the elven colony. Most elves could do without sleep for a few nights or weeks even but Elrond was a half elf. He did not have the same stamina as the other elves and with two young Elflings Elrond already had his hands full.
"Good, then I will leave you here tonight. Good night, Erestor." Elrond backed out of the room closing the door behind him and Erestor was left alone. The younger and smaller elf shook his head and laughed at his lord's tactics.
Normally elves who courted would be follow around by a chaperone. But because of the fact that their schedules did not allow much time spent together outside evenings and dinners. Erestor knew Glorfindel was cunning and it most likely would not take the general long to find him.
He knew that Elrond had at first embraced the change to spend some time chasing his two beloved friends around but it was getting to the elven lord. Elrond still was a father of two children and he managed an elven colony.
It seemed that not even the most seasoned elf could stand to be up at night to chase after his friends. Erestor sat down on the couch. The usually sharp gaze of Elrond had dulled considerably and Erestor wondered if Elrond could have a day off.
Erestor lid a candle, the moon was bright tonight but he needed a bit more light. Truth be told, he was not tired at all. In fact, his blood was singing with the trill of desire that Glorfindel had managed to install in him.
His head snapped up when he heard a sound in the garden. The door to the balcony was open and Erestor cautioned approached the door. He wondered what that sound was. It sounded like somebody who was walking through the garden but who would so such a thing at this hour?
It was a fine summer night but it was even too late for most lovers to be out and about. Hearing sounds which put him even more on guard, Erestor grabbed the knife that lay in the drawer of Elrond's desk and stepped out onto the balcony, trying to keep his steps light.
He peered over the balcony edge and then he closed his eyes before he sighed, loud enough to be heard. "Oh, by the Valar, Glorfindel, no!"
His beloved and still wounded elf was climbing onto the balcony by the large tree that stood opposed the beautiful small space. Glorfindel had managed to get into the tree with ease but he was breathing a bit heavily. Glorfindel seemed to be getting ready to leap the last distance and the other male elf grinned at him.
"Glorfindel, Elrond is going to have a fit when he finds you here in the morning. How did you know I was here?"
"I am a seasoned warrior, Erestor. Did Elrond truly think I could not follow you? He must really by tired then." Glorfindel beamed at him before he continued. "But move over a bit…I need space to make the jump."
"Glorfindel, you are wounded. Need I remind you that Elrond will not hesitate to send you back to the healing wing when he finds out what you have been up to?" Erestor moved a bit to the side. He knew that he could never persuade Glorfindel if the elf truly wanted to jump.
Glorfindel made the jump easily, not once losing his balance and for a moment Erestor was jealous of the easy leap the other elf made. The next moment he was in Glorfindel's arms, the fair face inches from his own and lazy lips were curled into a smile.
"You are impossible." Erestor informed his golden elf.
"And you love me for it." Glorfindel supplied helpful.
"Oh, stuff your mouth…"
"Gladly." Glorfindel pressed his lips tightly to Erestor's. After a moment they opened underneath his own. Their minds brushed and Erestor opened his eyes as he broke the kiss. The dark eyes flashed with the same light that always shone in Glorfindel.
"You look beautiful, my beloved." Glorfindel said as he tugged Erestor inside the room.
Both elves sat down on the couch and Erestor shifted his legs until he was sitting in Glorfindel's lap. The large hands of his betrothed settled easily in a massaging motion, removing his boots before they began to massage his feet.
Erestor moaned in pleasure, releasing the air in a rushing motion. This felt too good. Erestor felt his eyes growing heavier with each passing moment and he yawned again as he nestled himself against Glorfindel.
The strong arm looped around his shoulder and Erestor slipped into the elvish dreams, easily resting into the arms of his beloved. Glorfindel favoured him with a smile and then rested his head against Erestor's dark head as he joined his beloved in the dreams.

Elrond walked on tired feet towards his office. It was early day and the late night excursions, thanks to Erestor and Glorfindel, had left him tired. He had nearly snapped at his two young sons when they wanted to jump upon the bed. Luckily Celebrian had anticipated his mood and she had snatched them away.
He knocked lightly upon the door and he could hear Erestor stumble inside before the younger elf said. "Enter."
Elrond entered, frowning when he saw the rumpled couch and the opened door to the balcony. "Erestor, why is the door to the balcony open?"
Erestor blushed a bit and then Elrond found himself chuckling softly. He should have known. "Glorfindel, come out please." He requested.
The beaming golden warrior stepped out into the light. Elrond could not help it. They had thwarted him again.
He merely shook his head and said as he exited the room. "You will pay dearly for this on your wedding night, gentlemen."
As Erestor and Glorfindel looked at each other, they could only hope that Elrond did not speak truth.
That is it for now. Ideas for the wedding would be nice. Review of course.
