*COMPLETED* Legolas has a thing for Aragorn. They've been friends since Aragorn was the small Estel in Elrond's household. But one incident changes some things forever. Can Legolas ever go back to thinking of his friend as just a friend? Or will he always be reminded of his love for his best pal?

Legolas longs to be with the man he cares for, the man he trusts, but that is not easily done. Aragorn, the new King of Gondor, has more on his mind than an elf who cares deeply for him. Legolas flees Gondor, to get away from his pain. What he does not realize is that his heart is slowly failing because of his sadness. What will happen between the two men? Will they ever have the love that is only talked about in stories? Disclaimer~ I do not own any of the characters in this story, they are all owned by the marvelous J. R. R. Tolkien.
