CHAPTER 20

He sat on the balcony, watching the dawn come. What had he done to receive such love and admiration from two that loved him most in the world? No one had known, other than Elrond, that he had been fading nor that he had been a frequent visitor to the healing wing in Imladris. Even Elladan had not known. He slowly stood and walked to the bedchamber, smiling at the two sleeping forms that lay there. They had not known until last night before they had bound their hearts and sould together as one. He crept out of the bedchamber, careful not to wake his sleeping lovers. He slowly crept back to the balcony and sat down. Moments later, he heard a sleepy voice from behind him.

"Meleth, why are you awake at such an early hour?"

He turned to look at his beloved.

" I could no longer sleep."

His love was immediately concerned.

"Are you alright?"

He smiled and nodded.

" I am fine. There is no need for concern. Go back to bed."

Hie lover nodded and went back to bed. He smiled. They both had given him so much joy that he thought his heart would beat out of his chest in love. He walked back into the talan and sat on the divan. He had been reading an old history of Gondolin and the telling of the cruel acts of Hadereth and Andro. He nearly laughed. They had changed entirely since that time and had not laid a finger of cruelty on anyone, including their husbands. He set the book aside and watched as the door to the bedchamber opened again, this time revealing both of his lovers. They each kissed him and then brought him to the bedchamber with them.

XXXXXXXX

After they had made love, the three laid together and two sets of eyes settled upon him. They smiled at him.

" We love you Erestor," they said in unison.

Erestor smiled at them.

" I love you both as well."
