The Fire Dance





Ch14





As Elladan and Legolas came to stand before their fathers, Elrond
cleared his throat "I am glad to see you both. Elladan, do you know
where your brother is? Thranduil and I need to speak with the three of
you and..."

Elladan shook his head and held up his hand "Daro adar, we know".

Thranduil shifted on the plush bench "You know what".

Legolas slowly crossed his arms and stood before Elrond "Is is true and
deep this love you hold for my adar?"

Elrond blinked surprised, then slowly nodded "Aye prince Legolas, it is
a true and deep love that I feel for your adar...for quite some time
now actually".

Legolas took a deep breath as he stepped back, then Elladan stepped
before Thranduil "You know that with my brothers absence from this
conversation, I speak for us both. I have already discussed the
situation with him and we both agree...you would be a welcome addition
to our family"

Elladan then leaned close and looked the Mirkwood king in the eye
"Though should you hurt our adar in any way...you will be visited upon
by us...and at that time, you will be wishing that you perished in the
kinslayings"

"Elladan!!!"

"Adar I am speaking with king Thranduil now if you do not mind...are
our words clear king Thranduil?"

The Mirkwood king inwardly smirked at the threat "Aye prince Elladan,
crystal clear...and with your family's history of hardship, your words
are completely understandable...you both love your adar greatly, and I
respect that".

Elladan backed away, then looked to Legolas. The Mirkwood prince then
stood tall "Since you two are together now, we feel that it is not
necessary for the adar of the opposite ion to continue with titles. You
two Have been together correct?"

Both eldars slowly nodded and Legolas smiled "Very well, then we are
family now...Lord Elrond, what do you wish for me to call you?"

Elrond arched his brow "Whatever you feel comfortable with at this time
Legolas".

The young prince nodded "Very well...Elrond".

Thranduil looked over at Elladan and smiled "I feel that first names
would be appropriate, don't you?"

Elladan took a deep breath and smiled back "Agreed. Now, since this is
done and out in the open, you two can stop forcing yourselves to sit
separately...Adar, Elrohir and I love you beyond measure".

Legolas then smiled "Adar, I love you and hope your heart is happy".

As the young princes walked away, the two eldars sat in shock for a
moment.....

"Elrond my love?"

"Hmm?"

"When did our elflings become so grown?"

"I know not Thran, though I am pleased that all three of them approve"

"Agreed"

"Thranduil?"

"Aye Elrond?"

"Would you hold me...here in this public setting?"

Thranduil smiled, then pulled Elrond close and laid his arm over his
shoulders "Like this?"

Elrond settled into the crook of his shoulder and sighed as he placed
his hand on Thranduils knee "Aye Thran, just like that".

A little while later, both Elrond and Thranduil dropped their jaws and
blinked in shock when Cirdan entered the Hall of Fire, clad in bare
feet, black leggings, and untucked free flowing burgundy underlay.
Seconds later, Elrohir entered and took Cirdans hand.

Thranduil snorted as Elrond groaned and the king gave him a light
squeeze "I have Never seen Cirdan without his formal robes...have you?"

Elrond shook his head as he watched intently, then arched his brow when
he noticed Elrohir writing on a pad "Elrohir hates writing everything
out, it gives him horrible hand cramps".

Thranduil held him tight "Well, he seems more then content to do so for
Cirdan".

"Quiet Thran".

~*~*~

Elrohir flipped the page of his pad......

*ScribbleScribble*

"Aye, I see him. He looks...concernd".

*ScribbleScribble*

"Are you sure? I mean...I would only do this if...if you would truly
consider being mine...and I must know the truth behind your silence. I
have known you your entire growing, and I remember that you were quite
a verbal little elfling, quiet, yet you did speak. If we are to do
this, there must be no secrets between us".

Elrohir looked the ancient lord in the eyes, nodded, then stepped
forward and embraced him as he placed his cheek against the powerful
lords chest and pulled him tight.

Cirdan slowly thread his arms around him, then took a deep breath and
whispered "Alright then, let us get this over with, for I am Not
looking forward to your adars reaction to my wanting to court you".
