Dreams and Flashbacks
~~~~***~~~~
During a silent night at Helm's
deep, a fair sounding horn was sounded outside the gates.
Legolas turned his head,
whispering, "That is no Orc horn!" He and Aragorn rushed outside to
see the newcomers.
A soldier from
the tower above shouted, "Send for the king. Open the gates!"
The large gates opened, allowing an
army of elves to march in. Legolas' heart skipped a beat when he saw Haldir
leading the army.
King Théoden exclaimed in disbelief
when he saw the elven warriors standing in front of him. "How is this
possible?”
"I bring word from Elrond of
Rivendell." Haldir said proudly, "An alliance once exi bet between
Elves and Men. Long ago, we fought and died together. We come to honour that
allegiance."
Aragorn took his friend into tight
embrace, smiling with joy ‘Mae govannen, Haldir!’ [Welcome, Haldir] “You are
most welcome!"
Haldir smiled, and looked at the
blond elf who stood right behind Aragorn. After
Aragorn had released him, He walked towards Legolas and embraced him tightly.
‘I've missed you,’ he whispered so
softly that only Legolas' ear could hear what he had said. Legolas smiled
warmly at Haldir.
The two broke up from the embrace
reluctantly. With his hand was still around Legolas' slender waist, Haldir
addressed King Théoden, "We are proud to fight alongside men, once
more."
The King nodded and everyone walked
inside the castle. No one noticed the pain that was shown in the eyes of the
future King of Gondor.
~~~~***~~~~
Legolas gazed at room for the
hundredth time that day, making sure that everything was prepared for a special
night with his lover. He smiled and thanked the Valar for they had reunited him
once again to be with his lover. Only the Valar knew how much he missed him,
how much he needed him, needed his support and his loving words and gentle
touches.
Shaking of all the dark thoughts
from his head, Legolas reminded himself of the present. His lover is here with
him, offering his love and support. He will not ruin the pleasant night which
he has been looking forward too with disturbing thoughts of a hidden future.
Tonight the whole world will vanish, and no one will exist in his eyes except
for him and Haldir.
A light knock on the wooden door
snapped Legolas from his thoughts. Opening the door, he smiled at the sight of
his lover leaning against doorframe.
"Have you lost your way to
your chambers, my lord?" he asked teasingly.
Haldir chuckled and leaned further
in front, pressing his body against Legolas'. "No, I think I'm in the
right place"
Legolas laughed and backed away,
making way for the other elf to enter the room. Haldir studied the room for a
moment, and then his eyes landed on a nearby table with two chairs facing each
other.
"I see that you have prepared
everything, my love," he said as he sat on one of the chairs.
"Yes" Legolas smiled
proudly. "I know that you must be hungry after such long and tiring trip
from Lothlórien to here, so I took the liberty to prepare you a small
feast" he removed the cloth that was covering the table, revealing food
and wine underneath it ‘a feast just for you and me’ he whispered seductively
in elvish.
"I am indeed hungry"
Haldir stood up from his place and took the elven prince in his arms "But
not for this type of food"
"Then, might I ask…what kind
of food do you desire my lord?" Legolas began to feel slightly dizzy under
Haldir's steel gaze.
“Legolas, stop calling me my
lord…I’m not a lord…not to you at least”
“But I like to call you that” Legolas
whispered, blushing slightly, “you are the lord of my heart, my love”
“Really?”
Haldir smiled “then you are the prince of my heart, my little prince”
Legolas laughed softly “You haven’t
told me what do you desire yet, my lordp>
p>
"I desire for a cherry-red
lip," Haldir whispered against Legolas' lips, "Soft ivory skin"
he trailed butterfly kisses all over the crevice Legolas’ neck. "And
sun-kissed blond hair" he stroked Legolas' hair tenderly, letting the
silky hair fall against his skin appreciatively.
Legolas moaned as Haldir continued
to explore his neck "And where will I find all these things, my
lord?"
"They are all in the youngest
prince of Mirkwood, my love"
Legolas pulled away, and looked at
Haldir with pretence shock "Why Haldir, but that's me!"
"Exactly my point" Haldir
smiled mischievously and scooped up Legolas' body.
"Haldir" Legolas
exclaimed in surprise "Put me down!" Haldir chuckled and walked
towards the bed. "Haldir, I mean it…put me down!" Legolas struggled
to get free but Haldir was stronger than he was, so all his attempts were put
to vain.
"Your wish is my command, my
prince," Haldir dropped Legolas on the bed "there you are"
Realizing where Haldir had dropped
him, Legolas felt his cheeks growing hotter. He tried to stand up, just to be
pushed again by Haldir's body.
"Haldir, you sneaky little
perv…hummmm" The rest of Legolas’ sentence was cut of halfway when
Haldir's lips met his in another passionate kiss.
"Princes don't say such words,
my love," Haldir whispered into his mouth.
"And marchwardens don't take
princes by surprise" Legolas whispered back.
"When beautiful princes offer
to prepare food for marchwardens, they should consider themselves part of the
feast as well"
"Well, when brave marchwardens
want princes as their feast, princes can't deny them that"
Haldir pulled away and looked at
the beauty beneath him "You are so beautiful, my prince"
Legolas smiled and caressed
Haldir's lips with his thumb ‘Amin mela lle’ [I love you]
Haldir smiled and pressed his lips
against Legolas', enjoying the sweet taste of the prince's lips. But they did
not know that this would also be their last time together.
~~~~***~~~~
Legolas surveyed the battlefield
with weary eyes.
The battle had last throughout the
entire night and a little part of the morning. The arm army was powerful and if
Gandalf hadn’t arrived with the riders of Rohan, they might have won. Many
elves and men who had tried to prevent the march of the orc army from reaching
the large gates had been killed.
Legolas sighed and shook all the
memories of the battle from his mind. They had defeated the dark army and Rohan
is safe for now.
He looked back at the fort,
searching for his friends. He saw Gimli sitting under the wall, sharpening his
axe, Gandalf talking to King Théoden and Eomer, elven and men soldiers tending
to their wounds with the help of the women and children of Rohan. Aragorn was
sitting on the steps to the city, staring at him sadly. Legolas looked away
from Isildur's heir and searched for his lover. Surprisingly, the proud
Marchwarden of Lothlórien was nowhere to be seen. Legolas frowned and
looked around again but he could not spot his lover. He looked back at Aragorn
and walked towards him.
"Aragorn, have you seen
Haldir?" he asked when he was near enough.
Aragorn didn't answer him, instead
he tore his eyes from the elf he secretly loved, and gazed behind him, towards
the battlefield. Legolas followed Aragorn's eyes with his and was shocked to
see a red velvet cloak lying on the ground.
"No" Legolas whispered.
"He died in my arms,
Legolas" Aragorn said softly "He told me to tell you that he loves
you and he always will"
"No" Legolas repeated,
louder this time. Not paying attention to what Aragorn was saying,
"NO!" He shouted in despair.
He ran towards his lover's dead
body and kneeled beside it.
"Haldir" he called his
lover, tears were falling freely down his cheeks "Please answer
me….Haldir, please!" he begged.
"Legolas" Aragorn placed
a comforting hand on the elf's shoulder, "Haldir is gone"
It really hurt him to see the one
he loved crying in pain. It even hurted him more than seeing
Legolas in the arms of another.
"NO…HALDIR, ANSWER ME!!!"
Legolas cried, not caring that everyone in Helm's Deep was watching him. He
shook the dead body violently. Hoping that it would bring
life back to his lover. Aragorn tried to hug the grieving elf, but
Legolas shoved him away roughly and hugged Haldir's corpse, sobbing bitterly.
‘Haldir, Meleth nîn’ [Haldir, My
love]
