"Legolas! What do you think you're doing?" Thranduil asked as his son turned to look at him.
Legolas was wearing nothing but an open green robe that was barely tied together enough to cover his private area at all. Legolas looked calm and adorable as usual. He was leisurely walking from his bedroom to where the king in his throne sat, in front of everyone.
"I'm coming to see you Adar. I got so lonely in my bed and I was wondering if I could visit yours for the night?" Legolas said to the king which turned a few heads but not much.
Everyone knew better than to look like that at the king.
Thranduil looked angry for a moment but then schools his expression.
"Come here. Why would you think you need to visit me tonight?" The king asked his son as soon as he was standing in front of the throne where no one else could hear. Legolas now looked a bit embarrassed and wrapped his robe tightly around him. He looked down at his bare feet.
"Ada I got lonely... I wanna sleep in bed with my ada. I'm sorry, it was wrong. I just... just..." the young prince looked sad and did he see-
Thranduil did see them. Tears. His poor laes was crying and he was sitting on his throne watching. The king soon rushed down from his seat and pulled his boy into a hug.
"Adar is here nin hén. Adar is here, come with me to my chambers. Come on Legolas." The king said softly into Legolas's ear and pulled back and put his hand on his back and rushed his boy until there was a door and walls between them and the rest of the world.
Legolas broke then. Tears streamed down his face. We looked weak and vulnerable.
"I'm-m s-s-so-sorr-sorry a-a-ada!" Legolas said and grabbed onto his fathers shoulders and buried his face in his fathers neck.
Thranduil wrapped his arms around his son and rubbed his back. He felt Legolas's shoulders shake and his breath lightly heaved for a few minutes. As soon as the prince was calmed back down he kept himself hidden in his fathers neck.
"Laes? What's wrong nin meld emel? What has got you so upset?" The king said as he pulled back and held Legolas's head in his hands. He ran his thumbs through the tear streaks and those perfect blue eyes looked so twisted with emotion.
"I wanted my ada... I needed ada. I wanted your attention for so long and this was the only way I could think of to get it and and and I just wanna have my ada in bed with me." Legolas explained and motioned toward his less than outfit. Thranduil was disappointed. In himself mostly. Because his baby needed him and he didn't provide.
"Well réd here I am. I'm all yours now and I wish to make it all better. Will you let papa make it all better?" Thranduil said and rested their foreheads together. Legolas smiled a bit and nodded.
"Yes please..." Thranduil said and pulled back and sat on the edge of his bed.
"What does my laes need? Hm, what do you want?" Thranduil asked and Legolas responded quietly while pulling on the edge of his robe, revealing his creamy white chest and the gentle slopes of his muscular abdomen.
"I just wanted to to um to come sleep. Here. Under your blankets. With you." Legolas said and blushed pink on his cheeks. Thranduil laughed lightly and stood. He pulled off his crown and boots and robes. He soon was only clad in a tunic and a pair of grey trousers.
"Yes and what else did you plan on doing dressed in such a way?" Thranduil now stood arms crossed against his chest in front of his son who was curled in on himself which made him seem even smaller.
"I was gon-gonna t-take your t-tunic and and um uh and um..." Legolas stuttered and looked up at his ada to hone fully understand. But Thranduil only raised an eyebrow as a signal for him to continue.
"And I was going to um snuggle up t-to your ch-chest..." Legolas continued and continued to pick at the hem of his robe pulling a bit more open to show his silken underclothes.
Legolas looked up into the kindest eyes of his father. He took a deep big breath and finished.
"I wanted to hear your heart and f-feel your skin and warmth. I wanna feel... feel safe.
Protected. And and and um I wanted to to feel you...just being alive..."Legolas said and looked into Thranduil's eyes and looked embarrassed.
The elder man watched the boy for a moment before pulling his tunic up and off. Legolas watched as the man revealed a scarred chest, strong arms and miles of warm comforting skin.
The prince made a confused sound before the king spoke again.
"Come then, nin hén. You said you wanted Ada to make it all better. Lay with your Adar now, let me protect you." Thranduil said as he flipped over the blankets and laid down with his head against the cloud soft pillows.
Legolas looked surprised but so happy. He let his robe drop from his shoulders and happily crawled into his fathers bed.
Legolas laid his head in the middle of his adar's chest right over his heart and laid one leg and one arm across Thranduils and hummed softly. The king brought the blankets up and over them both. The elder kissed the prince's head and said
"Sleep now my heart. Rest and be safe."
