Forbidden Love (A Legolas x Aragorn story)

Chapter 12

Legolas' POV
I woke up to the sight of my love's arm draped around me and my face buried into his muscular chest. I sighed. I still couldn't believe that this amazing, beautiful, handsome, kind man had chosen me! Over Arwen... I didn't understand why. He could have chosen a beautiful half elf but instead he chose me - just a normal elf from Mirkwood.

I breathed in deeply, inhaling his scent. He smelled amazing - like fresh leaves and pine. Aragorn stirred gently and I smiled slightly. He was so beautiful.

There was a soft knock on our door and I slid out of Aragorn's embrace to answer the door. "Yes?" I enquired. An elf with dark brown hair called Ninleyn whom I recognised from our adventures stood before me. "There are visitors here to see you, Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood. You and your companion. Lord Elrond of Rivendell and Gandalf the Grey, sire." He bowed slightly before continuing. "Once you are ready, I will take you to him."

Elrond and Gandalf? Why were they here? Unless... they had found the letter sender and we could return! I beamed with excitement. "Hannon lle, Ninleyn." I bowed my head to him before turning back into our room and closing the door.

"Legolas? Who was that?" I looked to see Aragorn sitting up in bed and rubbing his eyes. "Elrond and Gandalf are here, Estel." I declared, excitement in my voice. At those words, Aragorn's eyes brightened too. "That is great news! We must meet them as soon as possible!" He cried, flinging the bedsheets off himself and rushing to a closet to dress himself as quickly as possible. I did the same, putting on a blue silk robe. The elves of Lothlórien had greeted us kindly and given us both new and beautiful clothes to wear.

I quickly braided my hair into its signature look. When I was satisfied, I turned to see Aragorn, looking handsome as ever in a dark blue tunic, holding out his hand to me with a big smile on his face. A smile reached mine and I took his hand before pushing open the door to see Ninleyn waiting there patiently.

"Come, Legolas and Estel. Your visitors are waiting." He said calmly before setting off across a rope bridge in the direction of Lady Galadriel's courtyard. We walked for a while before we could see the figures of Elrond and Gandalf, with Galadriel opposite them, sat gracefully as ever on an intricately carved chair.

We walked until we reached the courtyard, Ninleyn bowing before leaving politely. "Gandalf!" I cried, running over to give him a hug; completely forgetting my elfness for a second. I saw Aragorn do the same for Elrond, and I released Gandalf from my grasp before coughing awkwardly and stepping back. "It is very good to see you, Gandalf. And you, Lord Elrond." I added, bowing my head respectively.

Elrond smiled warmly. "You too, Legolas, son of Thranduil. But now you must come with us. We have to talk."

Ahhh two updates in two days yay!!! Thank you to @taarke for the lovely comments last chapter 😊

I feel like this is a bit of a filler chapter but it develops how Legolas feels a bit better so it was necessary - I don't want to rush this story too much :)

Sorry that the chapters aren't very long at the moment but it helps me to update more often and in each chapter there is a place where it just feels like it should stop so there we go :)

Please vote, comment and share if you enjoyed. I can't stress how important this is to me - I can't keep writing without your support. Please, take a second from your day to show me that you enjoyed it. It helps so much more than you could imagine.

K thx bai
