CHAPTER 9
Glorfindel jumped as Elladan entered, slamming the door behind him. He listened as his mate mumbled something to himself. Glorfindel shook his head. Had it truly hurt Elladan this much that Erestor had bound himself to Dinendal? Glorfindel stood, turning in Elladan's direction.
" I hope you did not kill anyone."
Elladan glared at his husband.
" Of course I didn't."
Glorfindel approached his husband.
" You are truly angry, aren't you?"
Elladan paced back and forth.
" Would you not be?"
Glorfindel pulled Elladan into his arms, shocked when Elladan shoved him away. He gave his husband a hard look.
" What have I done to you?"
Without giving a response, Elladan walked into the bedchamber and shut the door behind him. He sat on the bed and began to sob. Why did it hurt so much to lose Erestor as a friend? He sobbed even harder. When he and Erestor had been lovers, it had been strange, but also Elladan's heart drew him to the advisor. Elladan's eyes widened. It could not be. He was wed to Glorfindel. Their marriage had come about after Glorfindel had seen how distraught Elladan had been over losing Erestor. Elladan sat there in shock. Could it be that it was Erestor he truly loved and not Glorfindel? Could that be the reason he had acted as he had? Elladan pondered over these questions repeatedly. Then there was the matter of what would happen if he were to discuss this with Glorfindel. He and Glorfindel had never bound to one another nor had they had any sexual encounter of any type, in fact the only symbol of their marriage was the golden ring that each of them wore. Elladan knew he had to be fair. He just hoped Glorfindel would not hate him.

Erestor sat on the divan sobbing uncontrollably. Dinendal had locked himself in his bedchamber and refused to come out. What was worse is when Erestor tried to get near him, Dinendal would look at him with fear in his eyes. Erestor had not meant to hit Elladan, but his rage had taken control of his senses. He heard the door to the bedchamber open and turned to see Dinendal emerge. Dinendal slowly stepped toward him, then finally sat beside him. There was a long silence, then Dinendal turned to him and touched his cheek.
" Forgive me."
Erestor smiled and kissed his forehead.
" There is no need to forgive you Dinendal nin."
Dinendal smiled, but it slowly disappeared.
"About earlier..."
Erestor shook his head.
" I did not mean to hit him."
Dinendal shook his head as well.
"It is not that. When Elladan came here and he was yelling, I noticed something about his eyes."
Erestor looked at his mate in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
Dinendal let out a short breath.
" I think he loves you."
Erestor chuckled.
" Of course he does. We were friends up until this night."
Dinendal shook his head once more.
" No. I mean he loves you, just as I do."
Erestor looked at Dinendal.
" You saw love in his eyes?"
Dinendal nodded sadly, but did not answer. He felt Erestor's arms around him.
" What troubles you?"
Dinendal felt tears leaving his eyes.
" Do you love him?"
Erestor did not answer for a moment. He and Elladan did have a past, but did he still love him? The way he had reacted earlier toward him by hitting him was not love, it was only anger. Erestor sighed.
" Yes."
Dinendal turned to face him.
" Would you leave me for him?"
Erestor pressed his lips to Dinendal's forehead.
" Never."
Dinendal smiled, leaning against Erestor.
" What will do you then?"
Erestor shook his head.
" I do not know."
Dinendal drifted off into reverie after a few moments, leaving Erestor to think. If he loved Elladan and Dinendal, would he have to choose? Then another thought occured to him. Would Elladan tell Glorfindel?
