It was me... I blushed heavily as I was brought back to reality and I snapped. I ran out of the building at full speed towards the clearing of trees. In the distance, I could see Legolas on his horse slowly trotting along "Legolas stop please!" He turned around and looked at me in the eyes. He jumped down from his horse and pointed to Brego, who was tied up to a tree close by and watching us curiously "Bregos over there, hurry up"

"Just wait a second" he stared at me with those glazing eyes, still tear-stained, that could pierce into your soul and I instantly ran forwards. Bringing up my full courage, I pushed him down onto the floor and kissed those soft, pale lips...

Then I remembered Arwen...

Legolas's PoV:

I was stunned, lying underneath him. His lips on mine and me blushing furiously with my eyes wide open in shock. This is everything I have ever wanted. I felt like I was in a dream. But doesn't he love Arwen? I couldn't help but kiss him back just as hard despite my recent thoughts.

As it grew more heated, he suddenly pulled back and looked at me with doubt in his eyes. I was lost for words. He continued to stare at me and his eyes suddenly turned from doubt to apologetically sad. He spoke, his voice monotone and his words chosen precisely "I'm sorry, this was a mistake. Arwen gave up her immortality for me. I love Arwen, not you...I'm sorry this was a mistake, I'll leave" his words stung like salt on a wound and my heart felt like it had been torn from my body, breaking me down into a sobbing mess, tears uncontrollably fell from my eyes and onto the grass below.

"T-then why d-did you even..." I sat up and covered my mouth as tears leaked down onto my hand. I couldn't finish my sentence. My sobs were muffled, but at least he couldn't hear my pain to get the satisfaction he needed at my last strain of pride. He was only playing with my feelings. He doesn't love me. What hope is there? He led me to believe that I had hope, that my Ada has left me in middle earth for a reason, to get my courage to become king. He was my courage!

I rammed my hands onto the floor in complete anger and stared up at him like a child in a tantrum, he just stared down with sympathy. No pain, no love, just sympathy. He was playing with you. The voice repeated inside of my head but that only fuelled my anger "H-How-"

"I'm sorry, but you will have to forget what happened. I will leave for Gondor instantly, you need to choose your path" he jumped on his horse and rode off into the distance, leaving me to cry out my melancholy tears full of heartbreak and pain. If he wants me to choose a path then I will choose one, but it won't be one that he will expect...

I stood up and wiped away my tears. I walked over to Arod still sniffing, who had been watching the entire scene before him and neighing continuously, and spoke to him calmly "it's okay Arod, there is one last thing I need to do"

Aragorn's PoV:

I galloped as fast as I could across the fields of grass, regretting my decision to kiss him. It needed to be done, I loved Arwen, not Legolas. It is normal to mistake feelings for someone who is attractive. It was a mistake. I cannot give him false hope of my love it would only break him more.
