"Kili." Fili whispered his name in awe as he spotted his mate in the crowed. And then the impossible happened. Kili had heard him. He truly had.

The younger man lifted his head and turned around. Time stopped for both of them as their eyes met, sky-blues and nut-brown. They were meant to be for each other.

Kili was beautiful, beautiful and all his, Fili thought. The soft breath of air around him made his dark hair dance in the wind. His body was bathed in light and he looked like one of Michelangelos angles.

Their souls connected in this instant and a 1000 butterflies exploded inside his stomach.

The urge to hold the other half of his soul became impossible to bear. He noticed his leg moving on their own account and then he was running towards him in slow motion. Before he knew he was standing in front of him. Their hearts were beating together as Fili wrapped his strong arms around him and held everything he ever dreamed of in them. He breathed in the youngers scent and relaxed. It was simple, it was easy, it was love.

"Kili," the blond repeated. It seemed like the only word that would ever matter to him again.

"Finally I found you my dear. It has always been you," he said as he locked their hands together.

"Oh Fili, I'd wait all my live for you."

"You don't have to. I am here now."

"I love you."

Kilis cheeks and neck were flushed in embarrassment of the truth in his words. He looked up shy to Fili and smiled sweetly. With callous finger the other brushed a loose brown strand of hair out of his face and leaned in to press their lips together. It was gentle and loving and everything else Fili could ever want. They closed their eyes and Kili's left foot popped up slightly in the air. And suddenly the sun shone brighter and violins started to play. A firework went off, and they watched it together on cloud nine, as white pigeons passed them. It was perfect. Pure love. It felt like coming home.

"I love you too."

Everyone clapped.

The end


"Was it like this? Your first kiss I mean," Ori asked dreamily.

"Uhm almost," Fili replied unsure of what to say to him. Seriously where did he get such ridiculous ideas and who talks like this anyway? He shook his head in disbelief, but smiled nonetheless. It would have been nice like this, though.
