I just realized that I have not used Celeborn/Haldir much in this fic, so this chapter is theirs...along with Elrohir and Silinde...and Elladan...

CHAPTER 12

Haldir nearly banged his head on the table as Elrohir rambled on about all that had happened between Dinendal and Erestor. Celeborn just listened. How could he do that? Haldir felt a headache coming and was about to yell at Elrohir to shut up. Celeborn noticed his mates distress and held him tightly to his chest, with one ear pressed against his chest and the other ear covered by Celeborn's hand. Elrohir stopped speaking upon seeing this. He looked at Haldir.

"Ata'da Haldir?"

Celeborn nearly laughed. Yes, Elrohir knew they were bound, but he had never expected him to call Haldir Ata'da. Haldir looked at Elrohir.

" What did you call me?"

Elrohir smiled sweetly.

"Ata'da Haldir."

Silinde giggled as Haldir looked at Elrohir with amusement. Celeborn finally let out his laughter. Elrohir shrugged at the three of them and continued on with his story. When he mentioned Elladan and his love for Erestor, Celeborn's eyes went wide. He raised a hand to stop his grandson.

" Elladan loves Erestor? Even now? After all this time?"

Elrohir nodded.

"After Elladan went to Dinendal's talan and acted like a psycho elf, he returned later to confess his love for Erestor."

Haldir's eyes widened as well.

" Where did you hear this?"

Elrohir sat in Silinde's lap.

" Some from Orophin and Hadereth. The rest I heard from Glorfindel."

Silinde wrapped his arms around his beloved.

"We do not know if Erestor accepted Elladan's love or not, but being that he is a bound elf, the only way for him to accept it is for Dinendal to give permission."

Celeborn nodded, then looked at Haldir.

" Do you think Dinendal would give consent to such a thing?"

Haldir nodded.

"He would if it would prove his love for Lord Erestor."

Elrohir's eyes grew wide.

" What if they reject his love?"

Celeborn buried his face into Haldir's shoulder. Silinde held tightly to his mate.

"Then Elladan would fade."

Elrohir felt tears slide down his cheeks. He would not lose his brother. Celeborn was about to say something before he heard the knock at the door.

"Enter."

The door opened slowly, revealing Elladan. Elrohir jumped off of Silinde's lap and hugged his brother tightly. Elladan laughed.

"Roh, you are squeezing too tightly."

Elrohir looked at him with tears in his eyes, causing Elladan to worry.

"Roh, whats wrong?"

Elrohir lowered his head.

" I heard that you went to Erestor to tell him of your love."

Elladan hugged his brother.

"And you thought he refused me and I would fade."

Elrohir nodded. Haldir saw something different about Elladan. A look of pure love in his eyes. He smiled.

"They have accepted you."

Elladan nodded.

" And I am courting them both."

Everyone hugged Elladan, happy that he had found love. After a bit, Elladan left to find Glorfindel. He wanted Glorfindel to be as happy as he was, so he would aid him in finding his mate of soul.
