CHAPTER 10
Elladan finally emerged from the bedchamber, promptly seeing Glorfindel laying on the divan. He slowly approached him.
" Glorfindel?"
Glorfindel sat up slightly, seeing a look of sadness on Elladan's face.
" What's wrong?"
Elladan watched as Glorfindel sat up on the divan, then patted the spot beside him. Elladan sat down slowly, then sighed.
" We need to talk."
Glorfindel already knew what Elladan was going to say. He may have been blond, but he was not dumb nor was he blind.
" You still love Erestor."
Elladan looked at him, then nodded sadly.
" I am sorry Glorfindel."
Glorfindel laid a hand on Elladan's shoulder.
" Do not be sorry. I know you have loved him for a long while."
Elladan felt tears come to his eyes.
" I feel like I have just used you."
Glorfindel chuckled.
" I am the one who asked you to marry me, remember?"
Elladan nodded and attempted to laugh, but then sobbed. Glorfindel took him into his arms.
" If you truly love him, go to him Elladan. I will not stand in your way."
Elladan looked at him, then at the ring on his finger that symbolized his marriage. He slowly took it off and handed it to Glorfindel.
" I will always cherish our time together Glorfindel."
Glorfindel smiled and watched as Elladan left the talan. Elladan had also known a secret about Glorfindel. Glorfindel also had a secret love.
XXXXXXXX
Erestor felt Dinendal stir slightly in his arms and watched as he came out of reverie. Dinendal yawned slightly.
"How long was I asleep?"
Erestor smiled.
" Only an hour meleth nin."
Dinendal was about to reply, but there was a knock at the door. Erestor looked at him, then grinned.
" I may be your husband, but this talan is not mine. I cannot grant entry."
Dinendal laughed, then turned to face the door.
" Come in."
The door opened slowly and the visitor entered. Erestor glared at him.
"Elladan."
Elladan held up his hands.
" If you wish for me to leave, I understand, but please allow me to speak first."
Erestor looked at Dinendal. Dinendal nodded at Elladan and watched as he took a deep breath.
" Earlier when I came, I do admit I was a bit angry..."
Erestor angrily looked at Elladan.
" A bit angry?! You nearly took the door from it's hinges!"
Dinendal made a hushing sound at Erestor, then looked at Elladan.
" Please continue."
Elladan swallowed hard.
" It was because I had heard that Dinendal had hurt you, but that was not the only reason."
Elladan paused for a moment, not knowing if he could say the words. Once he said them, his feelings would be known, which would make it all very real. He let out a breath and looked at the floor.
" I was also jealous."
Erestor's face softened. Dinendal moved so Erestor could stand. He watched as his husband approached Elladan. Erestor placed his finger under Elladan's chin and gently lifted his face. Erestor's heart nearly broke when he saw the tears streaming down his cheeks.
" What were you jealous of?"
Elladan looked at Erestor.
" You bound to one that was not me," he sobbed, " I should have never left your side."
Erestor pulled Elladan into his arms and hugged him tightly. Dinendal stood and approached them.
" Elladan?"
Elladan lifted his head from Erestor's shoulder.
"Yes?"
Dinendal smiled.
" I saw the love in your eyes for Erestor when you were here before. I knew you still loved him. I would be willing to share him with you, if he will allow it."
Erestor looked at Dinendal, slightly shocked.
" Are you certain?"
Dinendal nodded.
" Yes."
Elladan turned to face Dinendal. He would have hugged him, but Erestor gave a slight shake of the head. Dinendal looked at his husband.
" It is alright Erestor nin."
Elladan stepped forward and gave Dinendal a quick hug.
" Thank you."
Dinendal smiled.
" Now, go to him."
Elladan walked to Erestor and kissed his cheek, nearly laughing when Erestor giggled. Erestor clapped a hand over his mouth. Had he just giggled? The three of them went over to the divan and sat. They talked for the rest of the night and fell asleep one by one. Dinendal watched as Elladan and Erestor slept. His mind began to race. Would Elladan only want Erestor or him as well?
