CHAPTER TEN

Haldir carefully removed the pigeon from the aviary and fixed the message to its leg. He gently stroked the bird as he walked out to release it.

Rumil was waiting for him, “Why is he with you ?”

“He followed me” Haldir did not want this conversation; he let the bird go and watched it disappear.

“He’s not a puppy Haldir, his bloodline alone would make any elf think twice” Rumil’s voice was dry.

“He loves me” Haldir said bluntly. Then waited for Rumil’s laughter to stop.

“You’re not joking ?” his brother looked amazed.

“No” Haldir snapped.

“And do you, are you…” he couldn’t finish the sentence.

“That’s the question” huffed the elder elf.

“So it’s not a no then” Rumil quirked a smile.

“Well little brother do you have any words of wisdom for
me ?” Haldir’s voice held little expectation.

“Why not take what he is offering ?” Rumil was plainly puzzled.

In frustration Haldir burst out, “I have never been chased so hard in my life; he has made me his prey. It’s not a situation I have faced before.”

“Is that all, Elemire has taken the lead and you feel your pride has been offended” Rumil looked disappointed in his brother.

“No, its just I feel so wrong footed, I don’t know how to react to this dance he is leading me on” Haldir was staring at the ground.

Rumil looked at the confusion on his brothers face, “Let him be good to you, follow the dance. For once allow yourself to be loved by someone who wants you for you and nothing else.”

When Haldir looked up Rumil was gone, he was alone with his thoughts and they were not good company. His heart was leaning towards Elemire while his mind was still fighting a rear guard action.

He knew Elemire’s love was true and could be trusted, so why was he so frightened. That made him pause, he was afraid but of what ? He did not fear Elemire so it must be himself he didn’t trust.

“I love him, I love Elemire” Haldir made himself say it out loud.

“I love Elemire, I love him so much” something seemed to click inside him and a beautiful warmth flowed over him.

“Thank the Valar, I love him and he wants to be mine” Haldir went to find his beloved and claim him for his own.

It didn’t take long for him to spot his quarry; Elemire was up a tree, pouting on a branch. Nimbly he climbed the tree and perched on the same branch.

“You want me ?” were the first words out of Haldir’s mouth.

“Yes” it was hardly a murmur.

“Love and need me ?” Haldir held his breath.

“Yes” Elemire spoke a little louder.

“You’re a trial to me Elemire of Rivendell” smiled Haldir.

“I know” how young Elemire was echoed in his voice.

“But you are my bundle of trouble and though it pains me to say it, I love you” a statement of fact made by Haldir with warm affection.

“Completely yours” cried out Elemire throwing himself into Haldir’s arms.

Haldir steadied them both and held on to the shaking elf. He felt damp tears against his neck where Elemire’s face was buried.

“You weren’t so sure of me after all” he commented softly.

“Pretty sure but not that sure, no one is where their heart is concerned” confessed Elemire.

“We’re doing this the right way” Haldir moved into a more comfortable position without disturbing his burden.

“Right way ?” Elemire was puzzled.

“When I return I will ask your parents permission to bond with you. It’s just as well we have a chaperon in Rumil” Haldir said thoughtfully.

“Chaperon ! I was right you are a…” he was stopped by a determined pair of lips, which kissed him into submission.

“Traditionalist was the word you were looking for, I believe” smirked Haldir.

“I’m all for tradition” Elemire pulled him down into another kiss.

Minutes later Haldir said, “No sex before bonding.”

“What !” his breathless beloved gasped.

“I want you to wear the Mithril chain and ring” Haldir announced.

“But everyone will know” complained Elemire.

“There is no shame in purity” Haldir gently kissed his love.

A voice shouted up to them, “There is food if you are hungry.”

Haldir called back his thanks to Rumil, and then they both climbed down the tree. Evening was drawing in quickly and a brand new day would soon be upon them. Haldir knew his life would never be the same again.
