‘thoughts’  
 
A week of soft smiles and whispered conversation slipped around Imladris 
as the Lord and the guest prince were watched with growing warmth and 
fondness. Many were the speculations on the relationship, as was wont for 
gossip, but none could say for certain. The blond and the Peredhel spent 
much time together, speaking softly with equally soft expressions, and the 
bonds continued to grow before everyone's eyes.  
 
And yet, none knew of the true depth of such bonds, for none had seen 
that moonlit night. The passion and desire simmered beneath the couple's 
serene countenance, building still more as each day passed. Yet the two 
hesitated, not wanting to endanger the friendship that was building deeply 
between them. For, when they looked at each other while speaking, it was 
not just with warmth or desire that warmed their eyes for one another…but 
with love.  
 
But also what simmered beneath their warmth was the air of uncertainty 
and doubt. Legolas, especially, felt this out of fear of his beloved's own 
family and councilors.  The relationship he held with the twins and Arwen 
was considered cordial and even congenial, but there was an air of tension 
as they each sized the other up. The twins found themselves trusting 
Legolas steadily, for he came to them, not in a need for approval, but in 
genuine admiration of talents. They in turn also admired the skill that they 
saw within the Mirkwood Prince and knew then that their Ada had chosen 
well.  
 
Arwen was of the same mind, for she saw the gentleness within Legolas 
and knew it had already softened her father's heart. But still a restraint was 
found in the trio siblings, for, while wanting their Ada to be happy…they 
didn't want their mother to be lost.  
 
And thus were Legolas' thoughts as he wandered the gardens behind the 
House, Ithil's cool rays coloring his pale complexion with gentle touches 
as he gazed at the ground. His eyes came up to look upon the room of 
Imladris' Lord and saw a shadow moving behind the lightened drapery. He 
felt his heart flutter as he watched Elrond come out, the prince's own form 
hidden from view by shadows. Yet, as the young prince watched with held 
breath, Elrond's eyes almost came to his shelter unbidden, seeking him 
out. They held eyes unknowingly, gazing from light to shadow before 
Elrond smiled softly and went to his rooms once more, his maroon 
sleeping robe flowing behind him in a wispy trail.  
 
Releasing his breath in a slow sigh, Legolas looked down again, feeling 
his cheeks warm with his feelings as well as desire. He jumped as a soft 
voice floated over. "You stay in shadows, yet you pine for him all the 
same?"  
 
Whirling in surprise, Legolas paled a bit as the silver haired March warden 
of Lothlorien came out of the shadows, his face a careful mask, yet warm. 
"Haldir! I…" Trailing off, Legolas bit his lip as his hand clenched around 
the pendant he wore. He looked away, troubled at the knowing look within 
the elder Elf's eyes.  
 
"Why do you stay here when your heart longs to be with him?" Haldir 
asked softly, his voice tinged with curiosity as he stepped closer, walking 
slowly around the prince as he kept his hands behind his back. He slowly 
scrutinized the silent Elf, contemplating. "Why do you hold back?"  
 
Legolas looked up and locked gazes with Haldir. "What would you know 
of holding back, March warden? You, who act so cold to fellow Eldar and 
even unto your own heart's desire." He asked softly, voice chilling 
slightly.  
 
"There is such a thing as restraint and love knows how to bring that 
restraint down." Haldir replied coldly, straightening. "And do not tell me 
how to conduct myself with my Elladan. He accepts me as I am, as I do 
for him and which you should for Lord Elrond." He spat out, eyes like 
shards of ice fog.  
 
Cringing visibly, Legolas looked down, his blond hair sweeping forward 
to cover his face as he flushed with shame. "Forgive me, Haldir…I was 
out of line." He whispered softly. He looked up, eyes filled with sorrow 
and fear. "I fear that if I say anything…or do anything…that our regard for 
each other will fade." He said faintly before looking away in shame.  
 
Coming forward silently, Haldir's face softened as he placed a hand on the 
prince's shoulder. "And if you do nothing…then it will fade." He said 
gently, smiling slightly as Legolas looked up in surprise. "Have faith in 
love…for what it has taught me is that it is ever faithful if it is true."  
 
Eyes brightening and taking in a new light of determination, Legolas 
nodded as he reached up to squeeze Haldir's hand on his shoulder. He 
turned and started back to the house, but then stopped and turned back, 
gazing at Haldir. "I was wrong about you, March warden. Perhaps…we 
can become friends and know each other better." He said with a hopeful 
smile lighting up his pale delicate face.  
 
"I would like that, ernil-taur. I would like that very much." Haldir replied 
warmly and smiled gently as he watched the prince run back towards the 
house. He turned as well and went back towards Elladan's rooms, hoping 
his words had made some kind of impact on the youth.  
 
*~~**~~*  
 
Gazing at the crystal goblet of miruvor he held in his hand, Elrond stood 
near his desk. His nightshirt, which was maroon with gold trim, fluttered 
faintly with his soft breathing and he looked out at the moon again. He 
smiled faintly, remembering the sense of someone watching him as he had 
stood out on his balcony. He knew in his heart that it had to have been 
Legolas, for no other gaze could warm him as the prince's did.  
 
He looked over, startled, as the door clicked. Eyes widening with surprise, 
Elrond gazed at his mind's musings made flesh as the prince leaned 
against the door, his pale blue tunic rising and falling steadily with his 
erratic breathing from having run inside. Legolas held his gaze, his blue 
eyes dark with emotions and desire, making Elrond's own eyes hood in 
secret as he held his breath. He placed his goblet down on the desk's 
corner and gazed over at Legolas, his kind face creased with a smirk as he 
appraised the barely clad Elf.  
 
Legolas returned the gaze, then moved forward swiftly. Elrond blinked in 
surprise as he found his arms suddenly around Legolas' body as the 
younger Elf pressed close, his face a mere inch away. Soft breaths of 
warm air caressed his slowly flushing cheeks as he gazed deeply into the 
darker blue eyes before him, searching for the reason of the prince's 
moves.  
 
Brushing his lips across Elrond's delicately, Legolas breathed in the scent 
of the one before him. "Im aníra-lle. Im aníra-men sui min." He whispered 
huskily, smiling faintly at Elrond's hitch in breath. He brushed his lips 
over the lips of the one he loved. "Im…mela lle…a im aníra-men na-
naud…an-uir." He pressed his lips tenderly to the lush ones before him 
and moaned as his mouth was instantly devoured in a hungry kiss. He 
melted against Elrond, wrapping his arms firmly around the slender neck 
as he dug his hands into the ebony mane.  
 
Breaking the heady kiss slowly, Elrond opened his eyes to gaze deep into 
Legolas', both panting softly with desire as their eyes searched each other. 
"Na-ten…thenid? Bertha-im hartha-an elei-nin an-le?" He whispered 
softly as he brushed a tender hand across a pale cheek, twirling a gleaming 
strand of gold around his finger as they leaned their foreheads together.  
 
Smiling brightly, eyes filled with love and desire, Legolas nodded. "Our 
dreams…our love…everything. Together. I want us together." He 
murmured softly, eyes filling with tears of hope.  
 
"Together…I should like that…very much." Elrond whispered lovingly as 
he smiled, caressing the strand he had captured behind a pointed ear. Their 
lips met in another deep kiss, becoming more frenzied as they gave into 
their love and desire.  
 
Leggings, nightshirt, and tunic fell to the ground as they moved to the bed, 
their soft pants and moans of pleasure filling the room with a tenderness 
not seen in years in that room. They landed heavily on the bed with Elrond 
on top and he began moving his mouth down the slender neck, marking 
the fair prince as Legolas writhed beneath his soon-to-be lover. A 
whimpered gasp punctuated the air as teeth and a soothing tongue found a 
hardening nipple, causing the blond to arch sharply with pleasure. His 
slender fingers slid into the ebony waterfall that surrounded his torso and 
clutched at the strands, urging for more. He moaned softly, his head 
falling to the side as the mouth trailed in a slow wet path to the other 
nipple, giving it the same treatment as the other swollen nub.  
 
Bucking in need as slender fingers trailed over his body, the prince spread 
his legs, begging softly for more as he gazed down at his loving Lord. 
Storm gray eyes locked with his deep blue, both exchanging looks of pure 
longing, desire, and love, of which neither had ever seen in their long 
lives. Their bonding gaze was broken as the gray was shuttered behind 
dark eyelashes and Elrond returned to his ministrations, swirling his 
tongue in the depressed navel. He smirked as Legolas groaned loudly, 
arching in need as he caressed bow-strengthened fingers through the soft 
dark mane over him.  
 
Deciding to tease his young love a bit more, Elrond trailed his lips over 
the edge of one pale hip, smirking as his nips brought out a strangled gasp. 
He pinned the younger Elf with a forearm as he continued to suckle the 
sweet flesh, moving down the thigh to the knee. He swiped his tongue 
along the inside of his prince's knee, before moving to the other leg and 
allowing the torment to increase.  He panted softly, turned even harder at 
Legolas' whimpering pleas that were muffled. His eyes trailed up to see 
his love biting his palm to stifle his cries, chest heaving with the pleasure.  
 
Purring in delight at the decadent sight before him, the Peredhel slid 
between his lover's legs and took the dripping member into his mouth in 
one move. That proved to be Legolas' undoing as, with a strangled scream, 
the prince arched sharply, his body as tight strung as his bow as he fell 
over the edge hard. He collapsed to the bed, panting harshly with his 
pleasure and the tremors that still teased his body. He watched with 
hooded eyes as Elrond licked his lips slowly, having swallowed all that the 
blond had given to him in passion.  
 
He moaned with want as his Peredhel gazed at him in hunger, then 
crawled slowly up to blanket his recovering love with his powerful body. 
They kissed lazily before it began to become hunger-filled and Legolas 
was soon arching into the rocking body of his beloved. They broke the 
kiss, panting heavily as desire darkened eyes locked.  
 
"Echad-enni, a'maelamin." Legolas whispered as he arched up slowly, 
rubbing their members together in delicious friction. "Im iest lle 
nedh…pathra-enni."  
 
Elrond groaned softly as he closed his eyes, trying to regain control of his 
senses. Everything about the young prince threw his life, heart, and 
emotions into a most delicious turmoil and he savored the experiences. He 
opened his eyes again as he whispered, "Im car-innas sui lle iest…sui 
anann sui ha no isto na-ammen fael vi pân nad. Hebin nedh i haust sui 
mae." They kissed again, passion driving them to writhe together as it 
whirled about them in rising torrents.  
 
With a gasp, Elrond swiftly left the bed to grab a vial of oil that he had put 
by his bed in hopes for this to finally happened and thanked the Valar for 
his foresightedness. He returned to his love and they began kissing again, 
hands roaming over the other as they rocked together.  
 
Before they knew what to do, Elrond was inside and they rocked together 
slowly, moaning in bliss. Legolas tossed his head, arching his back as he 
wrapped his legs around his lover's waist, pulling the Peredhel in for more. 
"Saes…saes…boe lle, meleth-nin…ad. " he pleaded, gasping as he felt 
teeth and mouth run down his slender neck. He brought his head up and 
they kissed in rising passion as their bodies moved together.  
 
With a powerful cry, both came hard, arching together as they met and fell 
over the edge of passion's ecstasy. They clung to the other as they 
collapsed, holding the other tightly as their bodies trembled with their 
shared bliss. With naught but a kiss, they drifted off into reverie, holding 
the other tightly as Ithil's rays passed through their room on the wind's 
heels.
