In Your Eyes
Aragorn looked over his shoulder as he inspected the section of woods that they decided to make a small camp at. From what he could tell, it would be a perfect spot to gain a few hours of rest at, and it was well protected by natural means from orcs. A movement off to the side caught his eye and he squinted, then smiled, somewhat nervously, as he saw Legolas moving towards him.
Legolas wondered to himself if what he was doing was a good idea. He had been scouting the woods for orcs when he saw Aragorn standing there, looking thoughtful. And something tugged him towards the man that was now standing in front of him. But as he neared the Ranger, he decided that whether it was a good idea or not, he should talk to him. Aragorn paused and waited for the elf to catch up with him.
“Is something bothering you my friend?” he asked, staring intently at Legolas’s flawless face.
Legolas nodded slowly, “Aye, and yet I wonder if this is the right time to tell you what is haunting me.”
Aragorn laid a hand on his shoulder and squeezed gently, “If you mean is now the right time to tell me that you love me, then it is.” The Ranger laughed lightly as Legolas’s mouth fell opened. It seemed that the graceful elf was at a loss at words and this amused him greatly, “What did you think that I could not see it in your eyes? I have.”
“Bu-bu-but I thought I had it hidden. Hidden as though not to frighten you off as a friend and not to harm the love you share with Arwen. I did not want to cause a rift.” said the elf, still staring at Aragorn with wide eyes.
Aragorn looked away briefly then looked back at him, “You were wise to do so. I love Arwen and wish to cause he no harm.” At Legolas’s crest fallen look he continued, “And yet, despite the love for her that I feel, I share it with you. Maybe even more so.”
Legolas looked up at him, somewhat confused my his slightly cryptic words, “Maybe? I do not wish to see Arwen hurt. You love her and should be with her. There could never be a you and me.” Oh it pained him to say it, but it must be said. Legolas knew that no matter how he loved Aragorn and how much Aragorn loved him, that it could never be, that there would be to much controversy over it, and it might harm Aragorn’s chances of retaining the throne of Gondor.
Aragorn studied his friend’s face, fully aware of the hurt that shined in his blue depths. And though it might be true, they could never be together, he didn’t see why they couldn’t be together now and voiced it, “True as your words may be, I see no reason why we can be together now.”
Legolas looked up at him sharply, “You mean to say, that we could be together now? But what of later? I love you Aragorn and to have you now, only to lose you later will cause me more pain. And I could not bare that. And I wont. Nothing will come of us, not now, and not ever.”
“Your being stubborn. I love you as well. But I’d rather have now with you than never have anything with you Legolas.” he said softly, reaching out to run a hand over the elf’s check gently.
Legolas blinked back sudden tears. Though Aragorn’s words weren’t meaning, he could hear the depth of the love in his voice. He looked up at the man who had his love and spoke slowly, “As much as I would love to have even a few moments with you, I dare not. I know that Arwen will take you from me. And I don’t want to cause anything that might leave even the slightest rift between you two.”
Aragorn slid his fingers under Legolas’s chin and tilted his head up to look down on him, “Nothing you could do would ever do that. Arwen would never know of us. I’ve realized that I do love you, and that I might not have you for long. But I want you now, while I can have you. And if you want the same, then we would have this night. If not, then I will turn from you now, and forget this.”
Legolas stared at him, “You would forget that I loved you?”
“Nay, I would forget about this here, not that you loved me. I could never forget it, for I feel the same of you. And I would be content enough to know that you loved me as I love you.” Aragorn explained, leaning down and brushing his lips softly over Legolas’s, “But the choice is yours and yours alone.”
Legolas blinked, indecision reflecting out of his eyes.
A/N: I’ve decided to be evil and leave a cliff hanger. So what do you think? I know I rushed them admitting their love and all, but hey I think that Aragorn and Legolas are the type of guys who would hide their feelings if they were confronted about them. So will Legolas turn from Aragorn, even though he loves him, to preserve the love between Aragorn and Arwen? Or will he push those fears aside and let himself be loved by Aragorn for one night, one night to be treasure his whole life? *evil cackle* Review and come back to find out.
