Part 1: Have you melted a cold heart before?

2.

“Yes, it is. Now who hurt you?” Elijah asked.

Orlando’s eyes bored into Viggo’s as he waited to hear the other man’s answer.

Viggo could read the emptiness that appeared in the younger man’s eyes, and could see the fear in them that Viggo would tell everyone who had hurt him.

“Honestly, guys…I fell.” He blushed as the rest of the cast looked at him. He saw a frown on some of his friend’s faces before they pelted him with more questions. No matter how he answered, it wasn’t enough to satisfy their curiosity.

Orlando felt guilty at the mess Viggo was in…all because of him. He walked away, needing to be alone and feeling as if he had caused too much pain.

Viggo watched as the younger man walked away. He looked lost – like he needed someone stronger to show him the way. He rose from his seat, ignoring the questions that were still flying at him and walked after Orlando. He watched where he was going – careful to not get hurt again.

As Viggo left, Elijah thought for a moment before announcing, “I bet this all has something to do with Orlando.”

Billy chuckled. “I’d bet my next paycheck on it.”

“Are you mad? You could lose it,” Dom said.

“No – I’ll win it. Don’t forget that Elijah never loses,” Billy stated.

Viggo followed Orlando for a few moments before calling his name, causing the young man to come to a stop. “Orlando! Orli – wait up.”

Orlando whipped around. His face was hard and his voice was rough. “Get away from me!”

Viggo came closer, curious as to what he had done to make Orlando mad.

Orlando backed away. “Just leave me alone. I don’t want any company.” With that said he turned his back to Viggo and began walking toward his flat.

Viggo watched the young man go, his heart asking him to call a stop to Orlando’s departure. He could feel the sadness radiating from Orlando. Viggo watched until Orlando passed from his sight. He walked back over to the set, noticing that everyone was watching him.

Sean Bean watched Viggo, finally asking, “What’s going on, Vig?”

“I have no idea, but I’ll find out,” Viggo responded. In his mind, the question, ‘what are you hiding, Orli?’ spun in circles.

Viggo stared at Liv and Hugo, listening absentmindedly to their conversation, wondering if one of them could help him open the young man’s heart.

Liv felt as if someone were staring at her. Looking around, she caught Viggo’s eyes. “Viggo – what’s wrong?”

“Liv – you’ve got a way with words. You can reach anyone you want to reach. I think I’m going to need your help.”

“My help?” She looked confused.

“Well…” Viggo began to say, noticing that Hugo was staring fixedly at him. He continued as he put a hand on her shoulder, “Can I speak with you alone?”

“That’s okay, Vig, we have no secrets,” Liv said, motioning Hugo closer to her.

“What’s the problem, my son?” Hugo asked.

“Hannon-le, adar,” Viggo grinned at him, and said, “It’s about Orlando.”

“I’ll be damned!” Hugo blurted.

“What?” Viggo asked.

“Elijah was right…” Hugo said, as Viggo cut him off.

“About what?”

“He made a bet that your problem concerned Orlando.”


“What? How dare he place a bet on us?” Viggo almost yelled.

“Hey, man, calm down. What do you mean ‘on us’?” Hugo asked.

“About me and Orlando,” Viggo said.

“Do you have feelings for him?” Hugo asked.

“I don’t know, but I can’t see him like this. He seems disconnected from us,” Viggo mused.

“You’re right about that. What do you want from me, love?” Hugo asked.

“Only a little favor,” Viggo said.

“What is it, Estel?” Liv asked him.

Viggo started to write a little note about where Orlando lived and gave it to Liv, who stared at him, wondering what he had given her.

“What is it, Vig?” Liv asked.

“This is where Orlando lives. Just be honest, and please try to reach his heart,” Viggo begged her.

Liv looked at him, and then looked over at her love, grabbing his arm and leaving Viggo alone.

Outside Orlando’s flat…

Liv looked again as she saw a ‘for rent’ sign in front of Orlando’s flat. She looked over to Hugo to see if they had made a wrong turn, but Hugo shook his head.

They walked over to a man who stood beside the sign. “Excuse me, sir?”

The man looked the couple over. They looked like a good match to him. “Yes, what can I do for you?”

Hugo asked, “Is this flat for rent?”

“Yeah. The young boy who lived here didn’t pay rent for two months,” he replied.

“When will he be evicted?” Liv asked worriedly.

“Today,” he answered.

Liv and Hugo studied the flat. Where would Orlando live? They knew they should call Viggo to tell him the news, but they wondered, as Viggo did, what Orlando did with his money.

They returned to the set as quietly as they could, not wanting Peter to know they had left, knowing he would be angry at them for leaving. They watched the scene in which Strider meets the ring bearer for the first time at the Inn in Bree.

When the scene was finally over, Viggo came to them as soon as he was out of costume. He grew more and more worried as he listened to their story. “WHAT?” he asked loudly, not believing his own ears.

The rest of the cast gathered around him wanting to know what was wrong, but Viggo would only mention Orlando’s name.

“What happened to him?” Ian asked.

“I need to speak with Pete,” Viggo said, and left to find Peter.

“What’s happened?” Elijah asked the couple.

“Orlando was evicted from his flat today because he hasn’t paid his rent for two months. Can you believe it?” Hugo asked.

“But we just got paid. What’s he doing with his money? How has he not paid his rent?” Dave asked.

“I believe that we need to go to Orlando and talk to him. Maybe we can help him a little. What do you say, folks?” Billy asked.

End of Chapter 2.
