Chapter 3 Friends
During the next few weeks Antien trained hard with Glandur. They put aside any feelings that surfaced when they met. This was not the place for such a personal setting. Glandur kept his teachings at a professional level and showed Antien everything he needed to know to be able to advance to the next level. Actually, throughout their time together, they learned much of each other and became rather good friends. If nothing else came of it, they would be satisfied to know their friendship would continue after training. Still, they both hid their true feelings deep inside. Antien’s favorite thing was to watch Glandur as he showed him certain moves. His body was hard, muscles toned from years of fighting at the borders. Every motion was connected to the one before it. He moved with such fluidity as he had never witnessed before. It was very difficult for Antien not to let his mind wander to other ways Glandur’s body might move. Whenever those thoughts surfaced, he pushed them away and saved it for when he was alone in his bed. Glandur’s favorite time was when he stood close to Antien, positioning an arm correctly or making sure his feet pointed in the right direction. This gave him the opportunity to stand close enough to feel the heat of Antien’s body or lightly touch him as he moved him into proper position. Once, Glandur was lining up Antien’s aim with a bow. In order to do this, he had to stand directly behind him and place the side of his face very close to Antien’s. It took every ounce of will power not to bury his face in his young trainee’s neck and breathe in his scent. It took even more strength not to let this warm feeling spread any lower than his heart. Antien was very good at keeping his feelings at bay. He never let on his attraction for Glandur. So far, his trainer only seemed interested in one thing-- training. Maybe Antien was wrong to think someone as beautiful and seasoned as Glandur could be attracted to him. Maybe this was only a crush and he would never know his true feelings. Glandur never gave him any reason to think that he might also be interested in something more than friendship. Besides, how would it look to the others if they thought there was something between them? He thought of Rhavaniel and how she worried about the same thing with Prince Legolas. Some might see it as a way to advance in ranks and that was frowned upon. Soon though, his training would come to an end and Glandur would go back to the borders. He may be gone for months at a time, depending on the activity there. It would be a shame to spend all this time together and not tell him how he really felt. Could he do it Antien wondered? When his training was over, could he actually tell Glandur that he cared for him, maybe even loved him? And what of their friendship? If Glandur did not return these feelings, it could mean an awkward moment and the end of such wonderful company. Would he risk it? * * * And so the day of graduation came. Trainers stood next to their trainees and recommended either advancement or more training. Glandur stood proudly next to Antien. He felt his nervousness. There was no reason for it though. Antien passed with excellence and there was nothing left to do but recommend a position as a palace guard. He could feel Antien’s anticipation and wished to calm him. Oh how he wanted to whisper to him to calm himself, then nuzzle Antien’s ear with his nose. The thought of performing such a display in front of all these fellow warriors almost made Glandur laugh aloud. Instead, he granted himself a quiet laugh. Antien felt Glandur’s body jump slightly. Was he laughing? There was no laughing at a time like this. What could he possibly be thinking? Antien turned his head slightly, looking at his trainer from the corner of his peripheral vision. Before he could look him in the eye, Antien felt a warm and gentle hand on his lower back. He almost jumped at the sensation. Glandur had never touched him in such a way. It was only a hand on his back, but it felt like so much more. There was an exchange between them that instantly calmed Antien’s nerves. Suddenly, he did not care what the outcome of his training status was. He only wanted to revel in the feel of Glandur’s touch. Not being able to help himself, Antien looked into Glandur’s eyes. They had softened around the edges as he looked back at him and Antien could have lost himself in those green depths. “No worries melon nin,” Glandur whispered. Antien allowed a slight smile and to his surprise Glandur answered the same. They found they could not look away from each other. Antien was reminded of the first time he looked at Glandur. He had captured him with his stare then too. It was at this moment that Antien decided he would throw caution to the wind and tell Glandur of his true feelings tonight at the celebration. He finally tore his vision from Glandur and came back to focus on the moment at hand. Yes, he would tell him tonight, if he had a reason to celebrate. Nothing was lost on Glandur. He felt Antien’s body relax at his touch, saw the longing in his eyes. He noticed how the corner of his mouth upturned in a smile he tried so hard to hide. There was something there, something Glandur wished to know more of. He decided on the spot that he would give Antien his time to shine at the celebration, but before the end of the night, he would make his feelings known. He had no more fears or doubts that Antien would return these feelings. Glandur lowered his hand back to his side as he saw the captain only a few trainees away from them now. As soon as he broke contact, he felt Antien’s nerves tense again. He smiled to himself once more, knowing the effect he had on him. Tonight, Glandur thought to himself. Tonight he will know.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
