Forbidden Love (A Legolas x Aragorn story)

Chapter 5

*Ok, we've finally got some Arwen's POV happening!*

(A/N I feel like this GIF totally sums up Arwen's feelings right now.)

ARWEN'S POV

I am worried. Now Legolas has been here for a week Aragorn seems to be much more distant from me. Why am I jealous? I love him, he loves me. I should trust him.

As I walk down to the dining hall to have breakfast, I see Aragorn and Legolas sitting together, chatting eagerly. A cold pang shoots down the back of my neck. What am I thinking? They are just friends, Arwen. Just friends.

So, to prove that Aragorn is mine I walk up to him and plant a kiss on his cheek before sitting down. Then I hold his hand underneath the table. Legolas looks... confused. Good. Aragorn is MINE.

(Yes, I know, Arwen in this fanfiction is extremely jealous.)

Suddenly, both Legolas and Aragorn stand up. As an explanation Estel says: "We are going out for a ride." I feel shocked and hurt.

We always go riding together! And now Legolas has gone and ruined that too! But I nod. Slowly. The two men make their way down to the stables. I can't help feeling jealous.

I sigh and walk back up to my room. What is going on?! I thought that Aragorn loved me...

No. I can't think like that.

LEGOLAS' POV

Aragorn led me out of the dining hall, not before I could catch a glimpse of Arwen's face. Hurt.

I suddenly felt guilty. I was taking Aragorn away from Arwen. But before I could protest, we were at the stables.

So, I bridled Arod and got up, ready to ride him bareback. Aragorn did the same but saddled up his horse, Brego.

I couldn't help but stare at his brown hair and beautiful body as he swung himself onto the brown mare.

"Ready to go?" Estel smiled warmly and I nodded. "Let's go!" I replied and we both rode smoothly out of Rivendell stables.

We headed to the nearby forest and tied our horses up by a tree. I was exhausted after riding for 2 hours full speed! Unfortunately... I had no idea where we were.

"Aragorn? Where are we?" I asked. "No idea" he replied, smiling brightly.

What? Oh no, this can't be good.

Almost as if he had read my mind, Aragorn pulled out a bag. He had thought of everything! Lembas, cloaks, weapons, sleeping bags; did he want us to get lost?

"I thought that we would have an adventure." he said mischievously.

Why was my heart racing so fast all of a sudden? The thought of Aragorn and I alone in the woods... it sent a tingle down my spine.

To hide my burning red face, I walked around to survey our surroundings. There was a river nearby; we could get water. I breathed a sigh of relief.
But...

"Aragorn! What about Lord Elrond? Arwen? They will be worried sick!" I exclaimed. "Don't worry, Lord Elrond knows. I made sure to tell him."

He smiled again and I could feel the warmth radiating from it.

I realized that I was staring. But he was staring back. His eyes melted my heart. But it was wrong.

"We can't." I said sadly. Although the urge to kiss him was trying to overpower me, I held it back. It was forbidden. I didn't even know if he felt the same.

"But..." he looked crestfallen.

ARAGORN'S POV
What did he mean? Did he know I liked him?

"What do you mean?" I asked tentatively.

"Aragorn... do you... like me?" He asked in a small voice.

I was so surprised I couldn't hide it.

"Honestly?"
He nodded.

"I am trying to fight the urge to kiss you right now." There.  I said it. His eyes widened and I couldn't believe that I just said that!

But... all he did was smile. "Me too."

"Then... why not?" I asked, inching closer to him.

"Aragorn! It's wrong. What about Arwen? You are going to be King! What about Elrond and Thranduil? They will never accept us! And... I am immortal. It would break my heart to be without you."

I understood and nodded somberly.
"Can I kiss you? Just... once."

He nodded very slightly. I couldn't believe that this was happening. I had dreamed about it every night and now...

I leaned in and kissed  planted a soft kiss on his lips. It didn't work. I only wanted more.

I'm sorry, this chapter is so goddamn confusing but I needed to get the point across 😬😐

QOTC: Do you think that Elrond and Thranduil will accept them? Or not?

K thx byeeeee
