A/N: *Emphasis*

This story has been floating around in my mind and demanded to be written.
It features a darker Elladan than we are used to and a young vulnerable Legolas.
For the purpose of this story, I have decided (with some advice from the great
and wonderful Min.) that the age of majority for an elf is 500 years. Legolas
will reach his majority during the year of their betrothal. NO underage sex!!!
NO non-con and NO rape!!!

Feedback: Would be wonderful and makes me type faster!

Summary: A wager is made while Legolas and Elladan meet for the
first time alone. An inquisitive elfling causes Legolas to flee the
breakfast table.

Chapter Four
Imladris

It was decided to forego the trip to the archery range; the party from
Taur-nu-Fuin was too weary from the trip, especially the young prince. Legolas
had never traveled so far, and as much as he liked to practice with his bow, he
could not muster the strength even for a display meant to entertain.
It was Bargon who noticed how tired the prince was and suggested the trip be
put off until the next afternoon. �I am sure the display will be worth waiting
for, my lord.�
�Of course, the journey here takes a lot out of full grown elves used to
traveling. I can only imagine how tired Legolas must be,� Elrond replied with
understanding. �If you wish, my Prince, you may return to your room and we
will see you at the morning meal.�
Legolas breathed a sigh of relief and answered the elf lord politely. �If
you do not mind, hiren, I am most weary from the trip. A good night�s sleep
will refresh me and I will be ready for a display of archery in the morning. I
wish you all a good evening.�
Legolas placed his napkin next to his plate before rising out of the chair
and pushing it back into the table. With a light bow, he left the room to retire
for the night.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Glorfindel and Erestor challenged Maethoron and Bargon to a war game in the
Great Hall, while others told stories or danced to the beautiful music provided
by the minstrels. Of course, questions about Legolas came up during the fiercely
competitive game.
�Tell me about Legolas� studies?� Erestor asked out of curiosity. �I
know the library in Taur-nu-Fuin is nothing like the one here in Imladris, but
he seems well educated.�
�King Thranduil sent for the best scholars so Legolas could learn about a
variety of subjects,� Bargon answered kindly. �I think you will find him
eager to learn new things. He has always been curious about traditions and
cultures different from our own.�
�It will be a pleasure to tutor him in that case,� Erestor replied with a
smile. �One always hopes they are getting through to their students. I am
looking forward to getting started, but am willing to wait out the weekend. The
prince needs a chance to recharge and get used to his surroundings.�
�Aye,� Maethoron agreed readily. �Once he is accustomed to being here,
you will find out what a delight he is to have around. He will be missed at home
by everyone. Even the kitchen staff and the stable hands will ask after him.
Legolas is known for his kindness and compassion.�
�Perhaps he can bring a little joy into Elladan�s life,� Glorfindel
added with hope. �Our lord�s eldest has changed so much since his majority.
I often wonder if Sauron did not replace our sweet elfling with another. No one
can reach him, except perhaps Elrohir, and not even he can touch Elladan�s
heart.�
�It will be hard for our young prince,� Bargon reasoned. �He is not
used to being treated in such a harsh manner as Elladan did when they were
introduced. I was glad he rallied and did not treat Elrond�s son in the same
fashion. Legolas may be sweet and kind, but he has his father�s temper. A
temper he has yet learned to control. Perhaps we should stay the duration,
Maethoron. It will be entertaining to see Elladan and Legolas clash.�
�Would that we could stay, Bargon,� Maethoron replied with a laugh. �The
king wishes us home the middle of next month. We can watch what transpires for
the time we are here.�
�What if we were to place a friendly wager on who will lose their temper
first?� Glorfindel asked, smiling. �If Legolas loses his temper first, we
will gift you with one of our famous daggers each. If Elladan loses his temper
first, you gift us with one of those magnificent bows from Taur-nu-Fuin. Does
that sound like a fair wager?�
�Aye, it does to me,� Maethoron answered for both he and Bargon. �I
could use a dagger, especially one made in Imladris. What say you Bargon?�
�I say we have ourselves a wager,� the counselor agreed, grinning.
�Then it is settled,� Erestor replied. �We will have to have someone
keep an eye on what is going on. Elrohir will be perfect.�
�Yes, but he will demand payment,� Glorfindel argued. �Find out how
much or what he will take for spying on them.�
�That is a job better suited for you, Glorfindel,� Erestor replied
smiling.
�Aye, I will find out and get back to you,� the blond warrior replied.
�Be thankful it is Elrohir we are asking. Elladan would bleed us dry.�
All four elves had a laugh as they poured more Miruvor and got back to the
game.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As the sun filtered through the curtains in Legolas� room, he tried to
ignore the fact this it was daylight. It was true that he had retired early, but
sleep eluded him. The noises, the mattress, the feel of the room, weren�t
familiar to him, and he ended up laying awake for hours thinking about his
predicament.
Elladan certainly hadn�t been happy to see him and gone out of his way to
be rude. The young prince wondered if this is what he had to expect for the rest
of his life. Surely there was some way to at least come to a truce. It wasn�t
as if Legolas had been the one to arrange this alliance.
Once he was sure he couldn�t fall back to sleep, the prince got up and
prepared himself for the day. He hoped it was early enough to make his way to
the archery range for some practice before the bells for breakfast rang.
Grabbing his bow and quiver, he quietly made
his way out of his room and down the hall.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The rhythmic thwaps of the arrows hitting the target relaxed Legolas more
than anything, and he took comfort in the fact that it would
help him in Imladris as well. The young prince was so intent and
focused on his activity that he didn�t notice the other�s presence until he
was returning from gathering his spent arrows. The two stood staring at one
another without speaking for several minutes.
�Perhaps it is true what they say about *wood elves*; you in
particular,� Elladan finally spoke. �You have a great talent for the bow and
I do not think you will need much instruction there - just continued practice.�
Legolas nodded and waited for the half-elf to continue speaking. Elladan wasn�t
wearing a scowl on his face this morning and the prince knew he had never seen a
more beautiful elf in all of Arda. The elf warrior�s leather leggings fit him
well and showed off his muscled thighs and taut stomach. The arms of his tunic
bulged and Legolas wondered how it stayed sewn together. When the prince
realized his train of thought, he fought to pay attention to what Elladan was
saying.
��twin knives; your hands are quick and you may wield them better. The
sword may not be the right weapon for you, but we will try it.�
�When will my training begin?� Legolas asked curiously, but also wanting
to prolong their conversation.
�The first day of the week,� Elladan replied with little emotion. �You
will have your lessons in the morning with Erestor, and then partake in a light
lunch. I expect you here at half past noon. Do *not* be late, prince, or
pay the consequences. I promise you they will not be pleasant.�
�Aye, I will be here,� Legolas said to Elladan�s back as he walked away
from the prince.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
�I want a whole month off from duty,� Elrohir replied when Glorfindel
informed them of the wager.
�An entire month?� The blonde warrior asked in disbelief. �That is
almost impossible. Even Elladan must go out on patrols in the morning.�
�If you want me to spy on Elladan and young prince Legolas, that is what it
will cost you,� Elrohir repeated adamantly.
�Wait until you need a favor,� Glorfindel growled. �Fine, one month,
but you better not tell Elladan about the wager. It is a secret.�
�You have my word, Glorfindel,� Elrohir replied, chuckling. �My lips
are sealed.�
�They had best stay that way,� the Balrog slayer warned as he left
Elrohir in the barracks.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Breakfast was always the quietest meal of the day for Elrond�s family. They
all seemed to still be half asleep or too busy thinking about the day ahead to
speak very much. This morning, though, was different. Arwen seemed to have
warmed to Legolas overnight, and decided to ask him a barrage of questions.
�Do you have a sister?� Arwen asked, her elfling curiosity getting the
best of her.
�Nay, I only have a brother and he is much older than I,� the prince
answered with a smile.
�Is it true you live in a cave?� she asked her mouth full of food.
�Arwen, what did nana say about talking with your mouth full?� Celebrian
asked, gently.
�You said not to do it,� the elfling replied.
�Leave Legolas alone and let him eat. You will have plenty of time to ask
him questions. He will be here for a long time,� the lady reminded her
daughter.
�Are you really going to marry my brother?� Arwen blurted out at last.
Everyone at the table seemed to drop their fork, or pretended they dropped
something on the floor, all of them trying to avoid answering the question.
Legolas himself was paralyzed and red faced.
Celebrian decided Arwen was finished eating if she had time to ask so many
questions, and ushered her out of the dinning room quickly.
Legolas could feel too many eyes on him and asked to be excused before
hurrying out of the room. When the gazes turned to Elladan he gave them all a
scowl.
�Don�t look at me! I didn�t say anything!� he said defensively. �It
seems the prince can�t handle questions from an elfling! Wait until *I*
grill him for answers.�
