Ch2

The Mirkwood king frowned �I am not intending any ill
treatment upon him, if that is what you mean� Elrond narrowed his eyes
�Thranduil, if you are looking for someone to�have at�there are plenty of
others that�� Thranduil waved his hand �Nay�daro, I do not wish for a simple
tumble Elrond, I am genuinely interested in Erestor�

Elrond shook his head �I do not
believe this wise�for one, I do not wish to see him hurt, and two, he will not
be interested, he will see himself as below your approach. Nai, he is my chief
adviser, but he is not a lord and�� Thranduil huffed �Station maters not to me.
Are you that apposed to my pursuing him? My informants tell me he is
uninvolved, yet you seem fiercely protective of him�or am I missing something.
Perhaps you wish him for yourself?�

Elrond rolled his eyes �Nay, he
is a dear friend and I just do not wish him hurt� Thranduil sighed �I have been
coming to Imladris for a long time, be it for festivals or court maters.
I have been watching your tender adviser closely and�and I will watch no more.
Now shoo, I have another gift to send�

Elrond arched his brow �Careful
Thranduil, Erestor may look beautiful, but there are some deep issues that
accompany him� The Mirkwood king frowned �It is not just his beauty that
attracts me�but I hear your words and stand warned� The Mirkwood king closed
his door, returned to his chair by the fire, and began to wrap the next gift.

The next afternoon, there was a
knock at the door �Tul!� The prince peeped his head in �Am I disturbing you
Adar?� �Nay, come in ion-nin� �I am not alone, Elladan and Elrohir are with me�
Thranduil smiled �Nai tul, and take a seat� When everyone had settled,
Thranduil leaned forward and sighed �Legolas tells me I can, but I am asking
the both of you�can I trust the sons of Elrond, to keep a secret? Even from
their Adar?�

Elladan looked over at Legolas,
then back to the king �As long as there is no harmful intent�then nai, our word
is our bond� Thranduil closed his eyes and nodded, then took a deep breath
�Very well, I have lost my heart to someone who resides here in Rivendel,
Legolas snuck into this elf�s study to deliver a gift�I would like the second
gift to be delivered to his chamber, preferably, to be placed on his bed
pillow�

Elladan smiled �Congratulations
my lord� and Elrohir sat taller and chuckled �Ai how romantic, to come back to
ones room after a long day to find a gift waiting�fine idea my lord� Elladan
then arched his brow �If you do not mind my lord, who is this elf that has
stolen your heart?� After a long pause, Thranduil sighed �Chief Adviser
Erestor�

The twins gasped, then shot
each other a look and stated as one with shock �Erestor?� The Mirkwood king
groaned �That does not sound encouraging� Elladan sat straight �Do not get us
wrong my lord, it is truly splendid that you have fallen in love but�well, as
you know, Erestor became our tutor and�� Elrohir sat forward ��He has not been
with anyone. We once tried to find out if he had had lovers before and we��
Elladan slowly shook his head ��Well, we pried to firmly, and Adar found out
and thought we were mistreating him and�� Elrohir sighed ��He had Glorfindel
put us on border patrol for a month�

Thranduil frowned �Your Adar
does seem rather protective of him� The twins sat forward, arched there brows
and stated as one �As are we� Thranduil held up his hand �I have no intention
of harming him, would you two put this gift in his chamber? I would send
Legolas but�to get caught in a study in much different then a bed chamber and��
Elladan took the gift �We will take it and place it on his pillow� Thranduil
smiled kindly �Hannon le�

After they left, Thranduil
looked to his son �Legolas, I know they are your friends, but are you sure I
can trust them?� �Nai Adar, they would not betray their word�and if they had
to, they would come to you first and worn you. Adar, have you truly lost your
heart to adviser Erestor?�

Thranduil sighed thru his smile
�Nai ion-nin I have. The odd thing is, he never really speaks to me. Our only
conversations have consisted of him saying �Mea govannen king Thranduil� and
�Nai or Nay my lord� and �Sign here and here my lord� and that is about it�
Legolas furrowed his brow �All these years and that is all?� �Nai� Legolas
shook his head �Well, good luck Adar. I have some things to do, I will see you
later� then left the room.

A short time passed and twins
stood outside Thranduil door �Elladan, do you think we should tell him?� �Nay
Elrohir, king Thranduil seems genuine in his love for our Erestor, let him find
out on his own. Then, when our shy one comes to us, we will support him�
Elrohir nodded �Agreed�

The twins knocked �Tul!� After
they entered, they bowed lightly �We were successful my lord� Thranduil smiled
�And you were not seen?� Elladan shook his head �Nay, I placed the gift on his
pillow while Elrohir watched for Erestor� The king sighed �Excellent, when do
you believe his will discover it� �That is hard to tell my lord, he works long
hours�

Thranduil sat back with a pleased
look on his face, then cleared his throat �You two would not happen to know
where Legolas may be at this time?� Elrohir smiled �Oh he is probably at the
archery field, after all it is about time for Glorf�� Elladan suddenly nudged
his brother �Well my lord, we should be going now�

Before they had a chance to
make a half turn, Thranduil stood �Daro� �My lord, is there something else we
can help you with?� �Nai, you can close your mouth and let your younger half
finish his sentence� Elrohir bit his lip �Well Glorfindel is usually��
Thranduil arched his brow �Nai, go on� �Well, he is usually at his training
grounds at this time, preparing for his students�the archery field is right
next to it�

Thranduil smiled �So Legolas
fancies the Belrog slayer ay? I dare say my son has good taste� Elladan nodded
�Legolas watches him a lot, but has never approached him, it could just be a
crush� Thranduil sighed, �The age difference is a bit disturbing, but Legolas
is 547, his decisions are his own. Hannon le for your help boys� The twins
bowed, and left the room.

That night, Erestor entered his
chamber and went to his bedroom. As he passed his bed, he gasped as he noticed
the gift on his pillow. The adviser spun, looking for any intruders, but again,
he found himself alone. Looking at the finely wrapped gift, he slowly
approached, sat on the edge of his bed, picked it up and set it on his lap.

As he inspected it, he noticed
it was wrapped in the same black silk, but this time, it only had one forest
green ribbon beautifully tied around it. Reaching for the card, Erestor took a
deep breath and flipped it open,

~To Erestor,
The only elf I know, who could
truly appreciate the inner as well as outer beauty of this gift ~

Erestor flipped the card over
and sighed �Again, unsigned� then looked at the wrapping, lightly smiled and
thought �Whoever this is, they wrap beautifully.� As the shy adviser
began to untie the ribbon, he noticed that his heart was racing and he was
smiling.

Calming himself, he let the
black silk fall away. Erestor just sat and blinked. There in his lap, was a
book in the worst condition he had ever seen. The first thing that entered his
mind was that a troll must have stomped on it. As Erestor�s nimble fingers
glided over the leather, he noticed that the binding had been destroyed over
time, and that the pages were just lying loose inside the outer casing.

Erestor tilted his head and
smiled �Aye, someone loved this book to death� The adviser carefully opened it
to lean the contents and gasped in shock �Te�Telerien poetry and lyrics from
Alqualonde?! Where�Valar, whoever has given me this�when they make themselves
known, I must return it�this is�so rare, a true treasure�

Erestor slowly laid back on his
bed and began to read. And after a while, he fell into reverie, with the book
still in hand.
