Rescued From Shadows

Chapter Twenty-Three

It was a few days after Fingolfin's coronations as Fingon and Maedhros were sparing in the back. "Are you sure you want to leave?" Fingon asked as he took a few steps forward.

"Yes, I am sure. We are leaving in a week," Maedhros replied as he blocked Fingon's attack.

"Alright but you are always welcome to live here if you want too." Fingon said as he blocked again.

"Thank you," Maedhros said with a smile. The two then contiued to exchange blows but through his hard work Maedhros was able to disarm Fingon. The sword clattered to the ground and Fingon breathed slowly looking a bit surprised as Maedhros had a sword by his neck.

Yet, instead of backing away Maedhros stayed where he was. Fingon frowned and moved away and asked, "Nelyo?"

Maedhros didn't move and his hands shook just stood there. He blinked and shook his head and looked at Fingon. "I am sorry...I kinda blanked." He said.

"It's alright," Fingon said softly and rubbed his shoulder. Maedhros smiled and sat down under a tree letting out a long sigh. Fingon sat next to him and smiled.

"Hey...finno?" Maedhros asked.

"Hmm?" He asked.

"Can you do something for me?"

"Of course,"

"Please stay here for me...your my best friend and without you...I would have been lost." Maedhros said.

"Of course and you're an idiot if you think I'll leave you. Sorry, but you are stuck with me forever," Fingon said with a grin hugging him or rather tackling him to the ground. Maedhros just laughed and pushed Fingon off him. He sat up and looked at Fingon who was just grinning.

"Come on," Maedhros said standing up and grabbing his sword. "Let's go for another round."

"Sure thing," Fingon replied and got into his stance soon followed by Maedhros but once Maedhros was getting ready to block Fingon's attack. Fingon dropped his sword and tacked him in a hug again. Maedhros groaned but couldn't help but laugh...yeah. He was sure stuck with this crazy elf forever.
