Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Haldir descended the tree to where Orophin waited. “Come on.”

They made their way quickly and quietly to their shared talan. Once there however Orophin spoke before Haldir could, “From the kiss I take it the rumors of you and Erestor are true?”

“Rumors?” Haldir asked sharply.

“That you and he are lovers. Lord Elrond was heard to say that Erestor would not be joining in the further discussions regarding our two realms because he was taking some well deserved time off. Moments later the Lady said the same of you…word for word. That was yesterday. Add in that Erestor has been having meals for two delivered to his talan and your dress uniform was delivered there on Sunday…”

“Ah,” Haldir said, stopping him. “I understand. Yes. We are lovers.”

“And Rumil’s tale of what happened Saturday evening?” Orophin asked quietly.

Haldir fiddled with the belt of his dressing robe. It was a light green, like a leaf’s first growth and one of his favorite colors when he was not on duty. He took a deep breath and stopped procrastinating. “It is probably mostly true,” he admitted. “Though our brother was exceedingly drunk.”

“Lord Erestor came upon you two discussing how to get him to have sex with you?” Orophin asked.

Haldir blushed harder than Rumil had earlier. “Pretty much.”

Orophin led his older brother to his bedroom and pulled out leggings and a tunic for him to wear. “Here, change. And tell me…what happened after Rumil left? How did you manage to get Erestor to have sex with you?”

Haldir sat on the edge of the bed and slid on the leggings. Normally he was not body shy…but there were some marks you just do not want to explain to your younger brother. “I…apologized. Then I…begged.”

“And that worked?” Orophin sounded disbelieving. “Valar, Haldir, is there any elf you cannot charm the leggings off?”

Haldir looked up. “You have it wrong, brother, I am the one whose leggings came off.”

Orophin blinked, clearly shocked. “Wha…I thought you were strictly a top!”

“I was,” Haldir said. “Now…I have never felt about another the way I feel about Erestor. I…” He stood up and stripped off the robe, picking up his tunic.

Orophin’s pale eyebrows disappeared into his hair. “You might want to wear two tunics, dear brother. You definitely should not go shirtless!”

Haldir smiled and ran a hand over the bites gracing his torso. “There are quite a few of them, are there not?”

“Haldir,” Orophin said, “he spelled his name.”

Wide-eyed, Haldir snapped his head to look in the mirror. “He…” He turned about and glared at his brother. “He did not!”

Orophin shook his head. “You really have got it bad, big brother. I have never seen you like this before.”

Haldir blushed again and slid into the tunic.

Orophin sat heavily on the edge of the bed. “Never,” he repeated. He sounded…awestruck.

Haldir focused on the closures, not looking at him. “Erestor….He’s very special.”

“You…you think he’s your soul-mate?” Orophin asked.

Haldir shrugged. “Lord Celeborn…advised me that with our separate responsibilities that we will not have as much time together to explore that possibility as I would like. I…I do know that I love him,” he said quietly.

Orophin stood and gave him a hug. “I will support you any way I can, my brother, and I know Rumil will as well. Just…do me one little favor?”

Haldir nodded, touched by his brother’s words. “If I can.”

Orophin stepped back, out of arm’s reach. “Please do not share any details with me! I do not want to know!”

Haldir lunged forward and bopped his little brother on the head. Orophin laughed and tried to duck away but Haldir bopped him a couple more times. “And that’s for your snarky snickering earlier!”

“I had a tickle in my throat,” Orophin protested, trying to protect his head.

“I recommend seeing a healer about that,” Haldir said darkly, “lest it get you in further trouble.” He picked up his weapons and affixed them for easy transport and access. “Now come on.”

“I follow where you lead, big brother,” Orophin said, picking up his own weapons. “I follow where you lead.”
