Chapter 1

Legolas lay on the bed, relaxed by the mood that had been created in the
room.

Elrond watched his lover; Legolas lay there, his eyes were wide open, and he
seemed as calm as the sea, yet his naked body shivered under Elrond's touch,
trembled when overtaken by pleasure.

The Elf-lord tried to forget what he thought the day before as he held the
prince while he slept. Elrond would not let the one he loved to get hurt
again – he would make sure of that.

Elrond looked at Legolas and could not resist touching him, taking him again.
His hands moved over Legolas' chest, now fully healed after the attack. All
that was left was a small scar, and he moved his hand away, not wanting to
touch it, not wanting to remember how Legolas received it.

Legolas woke up as Elrond moved his hands over his chest, and his hands moved
to Elrond's back, bringing the Elf-lord closer to him. The prince wanted to
feel the pleasure Elrond could give him once more.

"My love?" Elrond asked, as Legolas' movement interrupted his thoughts, so
deeply lost was he in them.

"Legolas?" Elrond asked again when there was no answer.

"What?" Legolas asked, as he moved his hand over Elrond's cock.

"I did not notice you wake up," Elrond said.

Legolas pulled his lover closer to him, his other hand guiding Elrond's cock
to his entrance.

"Wait," Elrond said, but Legolas did not stop.

"Legolas, what about the oil?" Elrond asked defeated.

"We do not need it," Legolas said, enjoying feeling Elrond's skin next to
his. "My body is ready for you, waiting for your touch."

Elrond leaned in and kissed his lover on his cheek before kissing his lips.
Legolas' mouth opened under his, and they kissed with greater passion, their
tongues dueling. Legolas used the diversion to wrap his legs around Elrond's
waist, forcing the Elf-lord's cock to slide into him.

Lost in the sensation of being inside his lover, Elrond could not feel the
heat coming from his lover; he could not see the sweat his lover's body was
covered in.

Legolas broke the passionate kiss and began to moan, digging his nails into
Elrond's back, leaving red lines as he scratched the Elf-lord as a bolt of
energy filled him time and time again.

Elrond looked down at Legolas and saw his eyes were wide open, a large smile
on his face, and...

'Why is he sweating? The room is not hot,' Elrond thought worried.

"Legolas... Love..." Elrond moaned.

"Hmm..." Legolas' voice was soft.

"Why are you so hot and covered in sweat?" Elrond asked.

"I... I..." Legolas tried to say, his body filled by another bolt of
pleasure.

"My love..." Elrond slightly teased him.

Legolas' head moved from side to side, and he wrapped his legs even tighter
around the Elf-lord, forcing him deeper into him. Elrond started to worry
about Legolas' roughness.

"Legolas, are you well?" Elrond asked.

"I... Oh Valar..." Legolas screamed in pleasure as he felt Elrond's seed
inside him, and a tear trickled down his face.

"Legolas, is there something wrong?" Elrond asked concerned, looking at his
love.

------------------

Chapter 2

"I melt under your touch..." Legolas said.

"Are you feeling well, my love?" Elrond asked worried.

"Never felt better," Legolas said, his legs still wrapped around his lover
and breathing heavily.

"Then why are you breathing so hard?" Elrond asked.

"I am tired," Legolas said as he tried to breathe normally again, but it did
not work.

"Please... love..." Elrond said, noticing Legolas' reaction, and added: "I am
worried as I love you and I fear to lose you."

Legolas felt a tear rolling down his cheek.

"What is it that troubles your heart?" Elrond asked.

"Only the fear of losing you; it is hurting me deeply," Legolas said softly,
and added: "I felt hot and sweaty, as the love bound me with you, that it is
a true love, in body and soul."

Now Elrond was the one that wept in happiness, as he held his love and gave
him a sweet kiss on his l his his tongue exploring Legolas' mouth.

When the kiss was broken they stared at each with the look of love on their
faces, before kissing each other again, wanting to feel each other, to taste
each other.

Elrond did not know what to say. Legolas' words have filled him with passion
and desire again, and he wished he could stay longer with him, but he knew -
they both did - that their presence was needed at the council.

Legolas watched his lover; he has seen something is worrying Elrond.

"What is worrying you?" Legolas asked.

"I fear to lose you too," Elrond said, and added as he stroked Legolas' face:
"I love you, my dear prince."

They both cried tears of love, of happiness. Their bodies were still wrapped
around each other, and they did not want to move.

But Legolas felt there was something else his lover was hiding from him; he
could feel it now they were bonded to each other.

"What is it, my love?" Legolas asked.

Elrond looked at him, and saw the worry on Legolas' face. But instead of
answering right away, he said nothing.

"Please, tell me...what are you so worried about?" Legolas asked.

"I... I am afraid to say the wrong words," Elrond said.

"You only say the right ones to me."

"The council..." Elrond began, and then stopped to take a deep breath before
continuing: "begins tomorrow."

"And what is it you fear?" Legolas asked impatiently, not knowing what Elrond
was trying to say.

----------------------

Chapter 3

Elrond stared at his love, not certain what to say. He felt Legolas' hand
sliding over his back.

"What is it?" Legolas asked, noticing the agony and fear that was showing on
his lover's face.

"The council..." Elrond tried to say as he was cut off by his lover, not
knowing where the conversation was leading.

"You already told me about the council, love. What is it you fear?" Legolas
asked.

"I... fear to lose you on the council, I fear that you will leave me," Elrond
said as he lowered his face, a little afraid to look in his lover's eyes,
afraid to be hurt.

Legolas stroke Elrond's hair, and then moved his hand to raise his lover's
face to look into his eyes.

"I will never leave you, my sweetness, my love," Legolas said.

"Do you promise?" Elrond asked, with a worried look, still not certain.

"I do," Legolas said and kissed his love deeply.

"Please... love..." Elrond tried to say as he took a breath.

"Thank you for opening my heart," Legolas said as the kiss broke.

"I do not want to see you sad, no matter what; can you promise me that, my
prince?" Elrond asked. Suddenly he wished he could take his words back; he
wished he had never asked him if he would promise. He could not see his
lover's face full of pain and sadness.

"Why should I be sad?" Legolas asked.

"I should not have asked you if you would promise me; I am sorry," Elrond
said, and noticed the frown that was on his lover's face.

Elrond tried to stroke Legolas' face, but Legolas turned his head away.

Legolas did not want his lover to see him crying. For a moment Legolas
thought that Elrond was only playing with his feelings.

"Legolas?" Elrond asked.

"You fear that I will break my word..." Legolas whispered.

Elrond nodded.

Legolas rose from the bed and dressed. He tried to swallow thers.
rs.

Elrond rose as he saw Legolas dressing and tried to stop him, but the younger
elf did not want to listen.

"Greenleaf? Please..." Elrond begged. He could not see him like his, and
started to feel guilty for saying the wrong words.

Legolas left the room, slamming the door behind him.

The twins were near their father's room, as they noticed anger and fear on
Legolas' face as he left.

"Something is wrong," they said with one voice.

"I will be with father," Elladan said, and saw his twin searching for the
other elf.

Elladan went inside the room, closing the door softly. Elrond was sitting on
the bed, crying.

There was a moment of silence.

"Father?" he asked.

"I said the wrong words to him... he left me..." Elrond sobbed.

"Father..." Elladan said, putting his hand on his father's shoulder. "He
loves you... there must have been a misunderstanding."

"I wish you were right my son," Elrond said.

Elrond kept thinking about what happened earlier, and tried to think of what
had gone wrong, but there nothing he could think of.

"Is Elrohir with Legolas right now?" Elrond asked.

"I suppose so."

"I need to speak with him," Elrond said, and got dressed before he left the
room. Elladan hurried after his father.

After a little searching Elrond found his lover kneeling by a waterfall; his
hands were on his face, trying to hide the tears flowing from his eyes.
Elrohir was trying to comfort him, but nothing helped.

Elrohir noticed his father and his twin, and stood up and walked towards
Elladan. Both elves then left their father and Legolas alone.

Elrond came closer to his lover and knelt beside him, stroking Legolas' hair.

"Why?" he heard his lover's voice.

"Forgive me, I did not mean to," Elrond said.

Legolas raised his face, the tears flowing down his cheeks, and asked: "Do
you not trust my word?"

"I do, but..." Elrond said, as he tried to say the right words.

"You still have in your mind that I WILL leave you – why?" Legolas asked.

----------------------------

Chapter 4

Elrond did not what to say, but only looked on his lover's face.

"Why?" Legolas asked.

"I fear to lose all that I love. I cannot face another leaving; my heart will
not take it," Elrond explained.

Legolas embraced him and felt ashamed. He did not mean to hurt his lover, and
he did not know that his promise to him would make it worse.

"I am sorry," Legolas said.

"You did not know, my prince," Elrond said, and hugged him back, wanting to
feel him, and to smell his scent once again.

"No... I..." Legolas tried to say, but the words did not come.

Elrond moved his finger onto the prince's lips, and said: "It was not your
fault - I should have told you."

Legolas looked at him, and wondered why he had not.

"I..." Elrond said, and moved his hands to stroke his lover's face. "I was
worried of your reaction," he explained.

"I never thought that I would cause you so much pain," Legolas said, his
heart aching.

"No... do not say it," Elrond said, and hugged the prince.

Legolas insisted. "But I did cause you pain."

"You gave also pleasure and a feeling of love, Greenleaf," Elrond said and
kissed him softly on his lips.

Legolas broke the kiss; his thoughts were full of guilt for what he done, he
could not face the one he loved.

He felt ashamed.

Elrond looked at his lover and wondered what was happened now.

"Why do you suddenly look so sad?" Elrond asked.

Legolas lifted his head and looked deeply inside Elrond's soul, and could
feel the love and the sadness within."I hurt you inside..." he cried.

"No you did not..." Elrond tried to comfort his lover, and took his hand and
tried to lead him back to his room.

"Come love... we will discuss it in the other room..." Elrond tried to cheer
him, and opened the door.

Elrond helped his lover to lie on the bed, and then closed the door before
joining him.

Legolas laid his head on the pillow; his eyes were not on Elrond's face,
instead his eyes were on the wall.

Elrond realised that Legolas did not want to talk any more. "I will leave you
alone..." Elrond said, and walked out of the room, closing the door gently
behind him.


---------------------------

Outside the room...

Elrond stood outside the room and cried.

Aragorn was the first to see his adar crying, and he hoped that nothing had
happened. It was the first time he had seen Elrond cry.

Aragorn came closer to him and asked: "Adar, why are you crying?"

"I fear that he will leave me now... he feels guilty and ashamed for all the
pain he has done to me..." Elrond mumbled.

Aragorn hugged his adar, letting the Elf-lord cry on his shoulders.

"Adar?" Aragorn asked, as he broke the hug. When he got his father's
attention, he continued: "Go to my room and rest, as the council will start
tomorrow."

"I think I will do that," Elrond responded.

"You will be alright..." Aragorn said, trying to cheer him.

Aragorn watched as his father disappeared from his sight, and then stepped
into the room. He saw the prince with tears rolling down his cheeks, his face
full of pain.

"You hurt my father!" Aragorn said, accusation in his voice.

"I shall leave at once," Legolas whispered. He knew that he had caused his
lover to be in so much pain.

Aragorn did not seem to hear him.

"Why did you hurt him? He loves you," Aragorn said.

Legolas felt he was being blamed, and the guilt grew stronger inside of him.

'I only made a promise that I will not leave him. What have I done wrong?
Maybe I should leave before I cause any more pain...' Legolas thought.

Elladan entered the room and heard Aragorn's words, and heard the accusation
in them. He also noticed the pain on Legolas' face.

"Leave him alone, brother," Elladan said.

Aragorn turned around and saw his brother standing in the doorway, staring at
him, and looking worried. He started to make his way out of the room, but
when he tried to pass his brother, Elladan caught his arm.

"He was already in pain..." Elladan said.

"I did not know. I only saw father in pain," Aragorn replied.


-------------------

Chapter 5

Aragorn and Elladan both left the room.

Legolas decided to leave at once, feeling that his presence was no longer
wanted. He sat on the bed, his eyes on the wall. He felt useless. Then he got
up and packed his belongings. He felt lost and broken inside.

He left the room and walked blindly to the stable, not hearing his name being
called as he walked away.

Legolas stroked his horse's head and mumbled: "I must go; I am useless
here." He mounted his horse, and rode quickly to the border of Imladris.

The prince's guards watched him leave. All were wondering what had happened
to him. Silinde and Galdor ran inside the house looking for Elrond, hoping he
would be able to answer their questions, while Saelbeth mounted his horse and
quickly rode after Legolas to try and stop him.

------------------------

Silinde and Galdor searched for the Lord Elrond. They were worried about
their beloved prince. Seeing Aragorn with Arwen, they made their way to them,
hoping the two knew where Elrond was.

"Forgive us for intruding," Silinde said. Galdor continued, asking: "Where is
your father?"

"He is in my room, why?" Aragorn asked.

"Our beloved prince has left Imladris and we do not know why. We are hoping
Elrond would be able to tell us. We are very worried about Legolas," Galdor
said.

"Take us to him!" Silinde said, though it sounded more like an order.

Aragorn looked at the two elves before walking down the corridor, Silinde and
Galdor behind him. Arwen followed them with a confused look on her face.

Opening the door of his room, Aragorn saw his father sitting peacefully on a
chair.

Elrond looked up when the door opened and stood when as he saw Legolas'
guards in the doorway with frowns on their faces.

"What is wrong?" he asked.

"Our prince has left. His eyes were cold like ice. We are afraid he is riding
to his doom, my lord." Galdor explained. The elf's face showed a mix of anger
and fear.

Elrond's face fell. He had hoped in his heart that Legolas would come back to
him as if nothing had happened.

"Where is he?" Elrond asked.

"He is riding towards the border. Saelbeth followed him to try and stop
him," Silinde replied.

"Let's go..." Elrond said, and passed his son and daughter to go and help
find his lover.

"Wait father..." Aragorn said.

"What is it?"

"I blamed Legolas for hurting you..." Aragorn confessed.

"You did what?" Elrond asked his son.

Elrond ran to the stable, and quickly saddled his horse. Mounting it, he rode
fast as the wind towards the border hoping to save his lover from possible
death.

'Only because of one simple question. Now everything is ruined between us.
Why?' Elrond thought as he rode. He feared for Legolas; he feared to face
another death.

"I shall never left you alone," Elrond whispered.

Legolas' guards followed the lord. They did not hear what he said; they were
too busy looking around as they searched for Legolas. Soon they saw Saelbeth,
holding Legolas' horse, but there was no sign of the prince.

"Where is he?" Galdor asked.

"I do not know. I tried to catch him, but when I got here I only saw the
horse. I can not see the prince; he seems to have run..." Saelbeth suggested.

"My lord? Why would he run?" Galdor interrupted, hoping Elrond would provide
an explanation.

"I let my past rule me, and ruin what I had with my love... now he will never
forgive me, as he thinks it is all his fault," Elrond explained.

"Ai Elbereth!" Silinde cried.

Elrond looked at the crying guard; he was about to ask him why he was crying,
but he soon had an answer.

"My lord, you have to find him, before it is too late," Galdor said. "He
needs to be loved, not to die in misery and pain, and with a broken heart!"

Elrond started to run, guessing where the prince might be. He looked around
for any signs of his lover, something that would at least give him hope.

"Legolas?" he called.

He slowed to a walk, and called once again. "Legolas?"

After few minutes later, he heard a whimper within the trees.

He walked towards the sound, and soon he saw him. Legolas had his back
against a tree, his hands covering his face.

He was crying, and murmuring: "He hates me... I only hurt him... it was my
fault...I should never have come here..."

Elrond moved closer to him and knelt beside him. He took the prince in his
arms to be closer to him, and to cry with him.

------------------------

Chapter 6

Legolas shuddered as Elrond touched him, and he curled up against the tree.

"Leave me be..." Legolas murmured.

Elrond looked at his lover with sad eyes, and he moved his hand over
Legolas' face, gently stroking it.

"No... please leave me alone..." Legolas murmured.

Elrond wished to see his lover's face. It hurt him to see Legolas like this;
there was an ache in his heart. Carefully, Elrond sat down next to Legolas,
and then took the young elf in his arms. He began to stroke Legolas' face
again softly.

"I love you," Elrond said, kissing Legolas gently, trying to take away the
coldness from the prince.

"You do not mean it," Legolas said weakly.

"But I do mean it," Elrond said, his voice becoming louder.

Legolas lifted his head a little and looked at his lover. "But I hurt you. I
do not deserve to live." Then he turned his head away.

"Do not say that..." Elrond said. He put his hand under Legolas' chin and
forced the other elf to look at him. "I love you more than you think," he
said.

Elrond saw how Legolas' eyes filled with tears, and watched as they trickled
down his cheeks.

"Please, do not cry..." Elrond said as he wiped the tears away. "I forgive
you..."

"I..." Legolas tried to say, but Elrond moved his finger to Legolas' lips.

"You did not do anything," Elrond tried to convince his lover.

"But I hurt you," Legolas said.

"Legolas... love..."

Legolas looked at him with a frown on his face.

Elrond leaned towards him and kissed him with passion, threading his fingers
through Legolas' hair. Kissing Legolas felt so good; he did not ever want to
stop.

But they did stop; they needed to breathe, and Elrond looked at Legolas with
love in his eyes.

Legolas shone radiantly like the sun, his eyes sparkling with love.

"I love you my Greenleaf," Elrond said.

Legolas moved his hands over Elrond's hair and said in his sweet voice,
"Star-dome..." His eyes were showing love and regret.

"Do you forgive me?" Legolas asked.

"I have long since forgiven you."

"Do you love me?" Legolas asked him.

"I do, and I always will," Elrond said, and kissed him again.

Elrond moved his hands over Legolas's chest, ready to give to his lover what
he needed.

"Show me..." Legolas said breathlessly, breaking the kiss.

Elrond undid the fastenings on Legolas' tunic, exposing his chest to Elrond's
gaze. Elrond leaned in and began to kiss Legolas' chest. He took a nipple in
his mouth, biting and suckling on it, making Legolas cry out in pleasure. To
Legolas, Elrond's kisses were as soft as silk.

Legolas relaxed, his anger leaving him. He moaned, allowing himself to be
filled with pleasure and love.

Elrond helped Legolas remove his tunic and leggings, and then he stripped
himself as well. He threw their clothes on the grass.

"Touch me..." Legolas moaned, feeling the breeze on his naked body.

He felt cold, and needed to be warm.

Elrond touched him, stroking his body softly, warming him, and taking away
the cold feeling. Elrond's hands moved over Legolas' chest, feeling every
muscle underneath his hands.

Legolas closed his eyes, a smile on his face, knowing that Elrond had
forgiven him, that Elrond still loved him.

"Open your eyes, my love..." Elrond said to him softly, and moved his hands
over Legolas' face.

Legolas blinked and looked at his love; Elrond smiled at him and leaned in to
kiss him. He continued to kiss Legolas; one hand was in Legolas' hair,
feeling the silkiness under his fingers, while his other hand moved down to
stroke his lover's cock.

Once again Legolas broke the kiss. "Make love to me..." he whispered to his
love.

Elrond leaned and kissed Legolas again, but this time with pleasure and
desire. He wanted to give him everything. Elrond stroked Legolas' body, and
began kissing Legolas on his neck, then his chest.

But Legolas wanted more. He gently pushed Elrond's head to his hard cock; he
wanted Elrond to take him in his mouth. He could feel himself growing harder
the more Elrond touched him.

"Make me yours..." Legolas moaned.

"You are always mine..." Elrond said, and kept kissing him.

"Forever..." Legolas moaned. His eyes were gazing at the sky, and he was
moaning and whimpering with pleasure.

Elrond stopped as he heard what Legolas said. 'Forever?' he thought.

Legolas became aware that something was wrong. He could not feel his lover's
touch anymore.

'I have hurt him again,' Legolas thought sadly. Tears came to his eyes, and
they began to fall. He had failed somehow; his lover did not want him
forever.


The End
