"Gentlemen, if I catch you doing that in the council room during a council session again, you will be send to Lorien, promptly I might add!" Elrond thundered harshly, staring at the two elves standing before him.
Standing before him were not just any two elves no, one was the head councilor and one of his most trusted advisors and the other one was a highly respected warrior. Or so he had been but Elrond had received some reports about that as well.
The lord of Rivendell ran a weary hand through his long hair as he looked at the two elves before him. Glorfindel grinned down at him and his tall friend said with a careful look at Erestor. "So you agree that what we were doing was more interesting then the council?"
One golden eyebrow rose and Elrond fought the urge to strangle the Balrog Slayer. It might take his aggravation away but he might not do the world a favor. It had been hard not to pay attention to something else because of what Glorfindel had been doing that had required both hands and the way Erestor kept squirming in his seat.
"Glorfindel, that was not what Elrond wanted to discuss."
"Yes indeed!" Elrond dipped his head. Even with two children and twins at that and he still found it hard to control his temper sometimes, especially with these two. He took a deep breath and counted in 10 in Westron, and then in elvish, then in a dialect and only then did he say. "This cannot go on like this, Glorfindel and Erestor. If the council chamber had been the only incident I could have managed to ignore it but last week it was the library…."
"And last night." Glorfindel muttered to Erestor who jammed his elbow in his beloved's chest and managed to keep the flush from rising in his cheeks as Elrond pretended he had not heard that as he continued in the same brisk tone.
"Then the day before that my sons caught you making suspicious noises in one of the closets and you have yet to attend an evening in the Hall of Fire since your bonding…."
"Elrond, will you please get to the point in your story? If indeed it has one." Glorfindel groaned.
Elrond's glare intensified and Erestor sighed to himself. Whenever his lord was showing this behavior it meant a lot of trouble so Elrond finally thundered. "This has to stop! I know that newlyweds tend to be a little bit…passionate but really…in all manner and places around the house?"
Elrond sounded weary now and yet Glorfindel could not help but pipe in. "Surely you are not jealous, Elrond?"
"Glorfindel, you are hereby banned from the council for three days unless war is declared! Out of my sight, both of you while I think of a suitable task for you, Glorfindel! You are very lucky that you did not marry a female for I would be sure that she would be with child mere weeks after you and she bonded. Now OUT!"
Finally the normally even tempered lord lost his composure and both elves hurried out of the room. Inside Elrond allowed himself a smile, he hoped that a three day break from them both would give them the time to cool off and hopefully for once, keep their hands to themselves.

"Glorfindel, that was completely uncalled for." Erestor said, the moment they stepped into their own quarters. Glorfindel merely smiled at him and said.
"He did give in, did he not? Besides, our honeymoon is supposed to last just that, a whole moon and we did not even have three days. In fact now it makes six in total."
"Then I am sure that you can go and explain it to him in a civilized manner." Erestor growled.
"Yes, I could but you have to admit. This is much more fun." And with a flirtatious wink and a quick peck of the lips, far too short for Erestor, even if he would never admit that to Glorfindel, his blond elf disappeared, hopefully to ask for 22 more days off.

"Enter?" Elrond called out. A moment later he wished he had not because Glorfindel stepped into the room. The way his old friend was smiling told Elrond that something was going on that he might not be so keen to hear so he organized his expression into schooled curiosity and disdain, and maybe just a hint of anger as well.
"I came to discuss something." Glorfindel began, crossing the room to the closet where Elrond kept his wine. He picked a bottle, opened it, sniffled it and then he poured two glasses.
Within moments Elrond had a glass of wine in front of him which he drowned in one gulp, he was sure that it was going to be that bad and Glorfindel helpfully poured him another.
"Go ahead." He managed after another sip of his second glass. It was not even afternoon yet.
"I want to ask if you could relieve me and Erestor of our duties for the next 22 days, after we served our punishment that you set upon us earlier this morning. I think that perhaps it is wise if we were to have our honeymoon as it is called."
"Done, unless in the direst of circumstances. You will however spend part of that time with my sons, Glorfindel, as part of your punishment for showing cheek to your lord." Elrond fought his own grin at the look on his friend's face.
"Elrond surely…." Glorfindel sputtered.
"No, Glorfindel, I do not wish to hear another word from you. Now be off with you!"
And with those words, Elrond was glad that he had found an elf sitter for his two elflings.

"We will have to watch Elladan and Elrohir." Glorfindel declared the moment he entered their chamber. Erestor looked up from his book.
"Well, serves you right…"
"You should be pitying me." Glorfindel sat on the armrest of the chair Erestor was residing in and with quick fingers he plucked the book away and tossed it into a far corner, lowering himself in Erestor's lap.
His smaller elf did not seem to be objecting overly much to the news of having to babysit elflings. Encouraged by Erestor's mood, Glorfindel engaged in a kiss. It was short, brief, passionate and as always it left him begging and aching for more but Erestor merely looked at him, dark eyes unreadable though there was a small smile on his lips.
"What are you thinking, my wicked one?" Glorfindel knew that look better than anybody perhaps.
He could feel Erestor's joy at spending time with Glorfindel alone, without the rest of Rivendell watching. While it might have been fun to be playing around and the thrill of getting caught certainly added to the passion, it was nice not to see his elf burdened by duties.
He kissed Erestor again, a touch of the lips and tongue and Erestor's arms came around him.
Glorfindel, will you finally admit that you like playing out in the open?
There was amusement and Glorfindel turned wide blue eyes on his mate as he said. "How could you even think such a thing? "
Because I know you, meleth nin and you always enjoy such things.
I just enjoy sharing you with the world.
I do not take kindly to be shared in such a fashion, you know this.
Yes, you are right….
Elrond knows this, meleth and he also knows that you will not cease after he granted our honeymoon.
I suppose I will be a little more discreet next time since our honeymoon time will be up the moment we return to our duties. But the question remains, whatever shall we do with the time appointed to us?
And as Glorfindel got up with a grin to lock the door, he showed Erestor just exactly what they could do with the evening ahead.
I hope you liked it. Sorry it was kind of short but I wanted to get it up. Review of course and send some ideas because I am fresh out.
