Forbidden Love (A Legolas x Aragorn story)

Chapter 6

*Right. Change of plan. Every chapter will have one of Legolas' funny faces XD*

LEGOLAS' POV

We kissed.

And it was amazing.

But wrong.

But I couldn't stop.

And I knew he couldn't, either.

Eventually we broke away and I smiled. "I'm going swimming. Care to join me?" I said mischievously. I strode to the side of the river and stripped down to my pants. I could feel his eyes watching me; teasing him was so fun!

Not long after Aragorn joined me. The river was a surprisingly nice temperature and we stayed in it until sundown. "We better make a fire." Aragorn stated, his ranger skills kicking in again as we dried off and changed back into our clothes. Together we gathered up lots of lovely dry wood and started up a crackling fire. We both ate enough Lembas to fill our stomachs and decided to call it a night.

I lay down and closed my eyes; I couldn't sleep. Not after what had happened, too many thoughts were invading my already restless mind. I hated myself, right then. What was I thinking? I would be breaking up Arwen and Aragorn, not to mention he is Isildur's heir and soon to be King of Gondor; he would  have no heir if we were to be together! And... does he even really like me?

3RD PERSON POV

Little did Legolas know, Aragorn was just as restless. All he could think about was the stunning blonde elf sleeping next to him. He didn't like Arwen but felt awful about it. He had changed so soon, but he realised that whatever he felt for Arwen was superficial.

But they both knew one thing: they were in love. How? They had no idea; the word 'soulmates' came to mind.

-BACK TO RIVENDELL-

ARWEN'S POV
Where was Aragorn? I was so worried. They hadn't come back for a whole day! I tried to ask my father where they were but he said that he didn't know. (A/N NAUGHTY ELROND! lol)

And to think: that elf was alone with my Aragorn! Who knows what they might be doing?

No. Arwen, you must have faith in him. I mentally scolded myself.
But he might be doing that with that stupid elf! Stop thinking like that., Arwen!

ELROND'S POV
Meanwhile, I was in a meeting with Gandalf. The subject, Legolas and Aragorn.

"They are in love! How did we not see it before?" I shouted, but not loud enough for Arwen to hear. I had let them go camping without a second thought. Unfortunately, I knew that Arwen was in love with Aragorn too.

But wasn't that just superficial? I could tell by the way Aragorn looked every time that he and Arwen kissed.

There was no doubt about it. Aragorn was gay and so was Legolas. I couldn't force Aragorn to love someone he didn't, but I knew that Arwen would be devastated! No, more than that. Hungry - for revenge.

Gandalf agreed. But I knew that Arwen was expecting Aragorn to propose at the Midnight Ball, just a month from now. I knew I had to do something before it went too far! But what?

I loved my daughter to death but she was jealous. Very. After hours of deliberation, Gandalf and I came to a decision.

We could not force Aragorn to love Arwen but Arwen would be heartbroken. The best way would be to not let her get jealous and I would have to tell her. If Aragorn did then I knew Arwen would take it out on Legolas.

We waited 3 days for Legolas and Aragorn to come back, and welcomed them with open arms by the gates. Arwen was there too, and, as expected, she was throwing a tantrum. Mainly at Legolas but unfortunately, I knew she hated him mainly for just taking Aragorn away from her.

Oh man, this is gonna be hard. I need to talk to Aragorn, tonight. I thought. We needed to know if we did actually need to put our plan into action.

So, that afternoon, I sent a messenger to him with a letter.

ARAGORN'S POV
I frown at the letter in my hand.

My dear son,

I need you to meet me in my study at 8pm tonight.
Make sure you are unaccompanied and do not tell anyone.
Especially Arwen.

   Yours faithfully,
Elrond.

What did he want to meet me for? And why could I not tell Arwen? Not like I particularly wanted to, of course. I felt so awful and guilty for using her like this.

No, I wasn't using her. I was leading her on.

Which one was worse? I couldn't decide... but I knew now that I was definitely gay. The thought of the beautiful blonde elf was always in my mind.

How was it possible? To love someone you have only just met? Was it even love?

Questions filled my mind. The rest of the day passed by quickly and I didn't get to see Legolas much, to my disappointment. It was 7:50 and I pulled on my worn but comfy cape. I didn't want all these lush royal clothes. And I didn't want to be King.

The rest of our camping holiday had passed in a blur. We stayed friends, although I knew that we both were awkward from the kiss. What did it mean? To my disappointment, after that we said noting of it, even though I longed to kiss those sweet lips again. They were even softer than I thought they would be!

By the time I had thought about all of that, I realised that I was standing outside my foster father's study. I took a deep breath. Why was I nervous? I knocked 3 times and got a curt 'come in' in return.

As I walked into Elrond's study, I spotted him sitting at his desk as he gestured for me to sit. I did as I was asked.

"Right, Aragorn, let me just get this straight. Are you, or are you not, gay?" I nearly fell off my chair.

What should I say? I was panicking now. But before I could process what I was actually saying, my mouth was speaking on its own.

"Yes." Oh no. Why did I say that?

I expected him to get really mad, but instead he just smirked. "I thought as much."

"W-was I that obvious?" I asked, worried. How the hell did he find out?
    

AANNDDD FINISHED!
I  am so so sorry for the wait for this chapter. I know it has only been 3 days but it feels like so much more! I'm not neglecting this story already, don't worry! I just had a really severe case of writers block...

ANYWAYY!!!
QOTC: What race would you most like to be from Middle Earth?
(My answer is elf, of course. :P)

I swear, I am actually so amazed that anyone voted for this story, it's so crap.

It is actually my first proper fan fiction that I haven't given up on after 2 chapters :P

Sorry if there are any grammar mistakes and sorry for the long as hell Author's Note.

Just to clear things up: Arwen and Aragon are not engaged. Also, because I'm such a sucker for happy endings, this is a world with no Sauron. I am so sorry, I don't think I can handle making a sad story at the moment lol

Don't be a silent reader!!!
