Heart Broken

What do you expect

Aragorn frowned taking another puff from his pipe then taking a good swig from his bottle. Legolas was right and he knew it. Aragorn needed sleep he needed a fresh mind set because he was starting to go mad. What did people expect though, Legolas of all people should understand how Aragorn was feeling, damn Legolas was the last one to see Angel alive, Aragorn didn't know if his daughter truly still was living except for the letters that would arrive out of no where that pretty much antagonized him.
As years passed Aragorn would receive letters about his daughter and lately they were getting a bit weird almost obsessive. Like the personify talking about her was very crazy about her. They started to detail about the way she did somethings and the way she held herself or talked they were so detailed that Aragorn could almost imagine the scene of his daughter before his very eyes.
The last letter he received said how Angel would chew on her lip when she was deep in thought and she had long black hair that tumbled down to her waist, her skin was as light and flawless like her mother's and wore the finest silk dresses that were pastel or how her eyes that looked like her fathers would shine looking at flowers and how she still enjoyed chocolates after all these years. Aragorn was always in agony after reading the letters but also felt somewhat grateful that whoever was writing them was keeping him somewhat in the loop.

Finally breaking from his trance Aragorn looked at Legolas. "What do you want me to do Legolas? I know I need sleep, but my baby girl is still out there and it hurts knowing that she probably doesn't remember me or life at all away from her capture. It's been so long... truthfully I'm starting to lose hope of ever finding her.... and I wonder how terrible of a person I am that I am actually starting to think of maybe giving up hope...
I'm never going to find my daughter am i"
Aragorn had tears flowing down his cheeks his heart acked. What could he do its been so long time is ticking away and he has been miserable trying to find Angel day after day night after night and still no hope. It isn't fair. He lost his wife and his child and is now all alone... no not alone, Legolas has been here quietly standing by trying to help when he can. It isn't fair to do this to him, Legolas deserves more from someone who loves him not just be pushed aside.
" I think you should leave Legolas" aragorn said sadly.
Legolas stood in place and turned his head slightly eyeing Aragorn.
"Do you truly want me to leave, or is it just what you think is best?"

Aragorn sighed sagging a bit feeling his heart breaking and knowing he needed to break Legolas' heart to make him leave.
"You weren't strong enough to protect Angel... you left camp to race back here to protect her and you didn't. I can't even look at you without feeling the hurt and lose of my daughter knowing you did nothing to help save her."

Legolas stood feeling hurt at Aragorns words but he knew Aragorn was doing this to get rid of him because he thought Legolas deserved more, but damnit Legolas wasn't having it. Walking forward he grabbed Aragorn by the face and planted his lips on his kissing him deeply then pulling back a bit. "Your a terrible lier, I'm not going anywhere and we will find Angel together. We will welcome her home and treat her lots of love and tender care no matter what kind of person she comes back as. I know she has been gone a long time and I know deep down you probably do blame in a way but I promise you I am here till the very end, I love you"

Aragorn was shocked by Legolas' sudden kiss and stood listening to every bit of Legolas' words.
"I love you too, I'm sorry I said those things... truthfully I don't blame you I know you tried your best. You were broken when I made it back and I'm sorry I haven't been the greatest person towards you."

Aragorn dropped to the floor on his knees looking up at Legolas with tear filled eyes. "I promise to take care of you Legolas and love you till my days end..." Legolas smiled dropping down as well and enveloping Aragorn in a hug feeling as Aragorn cried into his shoulder letting himself breakdown a bit and release some sadness and stress.
"Let's go to bed" Legolas says softly as he stands holding out his hand for Aragorn to grab. As they walk hand in hand to their room they remain in a comfortable silence. Entering the room Legolas helps Aragorn out of his clothes and into bed then does the same and lays down with him.
They lay just holding eachother with Aragorn running his fingers through Legolas' hair and Legolas running a hand up and down tracing a vine pattern on Aragorns arm.
