Elrond sighed heavily and mused aloud, “From trouble to trouble.”
Elrohir heard the worried tone in his father’s voice, and asked, “Father, is there something wrong?”
“Well… there was a misunderstanding, and the prince was blamed when the two of you left,” Elrond explained.
“Because of us?” Elladan asked.
“Yes,” Elrond said, and added, “and now I do not know where to look for him. Even his own guards do not know where he is.”
An idea came to Elrohir; he remembered a time when Legolas ran from them after an argument and was found by the waterfall, shouting before he gradually calmed down.
“Lover, do you remember the waterfall where we found Legolas that one time?”
“You are a genius, ervainen vorn (my dark beautiful one). We should make our way there,” Elladan said and kissed his brother, almost making them fall off the horse. Elladan stroked his brother’s back, over and over, making Elrohir shudder.
“I hope he will be there…” Elrond said. He did not waste any time, and quickly walked to the waterfall.
The twins dismounted from the horse and followed their father. They wanted to apologize to the prince for their behavior.
Instead of the prince they saw Erestor; he looked upset. They noticed the way he walked. Instead of his usual gliding walk, he was striding. The twins could not remember ever seeing Erestor like this.
“Erestor?” Elrohir called.
The advisor stopped striding and looked at the twins.
“What is it? What has happened?” Elrohir asked.
“It was because of me,” Erestor confessed.
“What do you mean?” Elladan asked.
“I am the one who blamed Legolas,” Erestor said, and stopped to see their reaction. Though they all stared at him, they did not say anything. Lowering his head, he continued, “I blamed him for causing your father pain, that he…” The rest of the sentence trailed off, and tears fell down his cheeks.
“It was not your fault; do not blame yourself for our behavior, my friend,” Elrohir said. He went to Erestor and put his arms around him, letting Erestor cry on his shoulder.
“It is my fault… he will never forgive me for insulting him like that…” Erestor cried.
“He will. He has a forgiving heart; just give him time,” Elladan suggested.
“Thank you for being so good to me,” Erestor said. He wiped the tears from his face and started walking back to the house.
“If you see Glorfindel, will you give him a kiss from us?” Elrohir said loudly.
“On the cheeks?” Erestor asked.
“No… on his lips…” Elladan grinned at him.
“Will you do it?” Elrohir said.
“I will do the best I can,” Erestor replied, and walked away.
“We will see you later then,” Elladan shouted to him.

At the waterfall…
Elrond went on alone in search of the prince, and found him where the twins said he would be. He noticed the prince curled up on the ground near the waterfall; he was holding his head in his hands. He looked so fragile to Elrond at that moment that it made the lord’s heart ache. It pained him.
Elrond wanted to reach out and take the prince in his arms and hug him. He opened his mouth to try and say something, but no words came, and the only sound was the waterfall.
The elf-lord wanted to make his way to Legolas, but he found he could not move his legs.
“Prince Legolas?” He found himself reverting to formality.
Legolas lifted his head at the voice, but did not turn around. He asked in a weak and frightened voice, “Am I banished from here, my lord?”
“No… you are not, my prince,” Elrond said, and sighed as he found the courage to walk to Legolas. He continued, “I do not see any reason why you should be banished; you are always welcome here, my prince.”
“But why, my lord?” Legolas turned his head and looked at Elrond “I am the one that caused your sons to leave and, because of me, your sons are going die. For that my lord, I do not know why you say that I am always welcome here.”
There was silence for a moment, and then Elrond spoke. “They are alright, Legolas; no harm has been done, and I cannot see you blaming yourself like this. I would do anything to ease the pain for you, if you would let me.”
“But… Elladan… Elrohir…” Legolas began to protest, as he was still convinced that he was to blame.
“They are alright, though they want to thank you,” Elrond said and reached out with his hand to wipe away the tears that flowed from Legolas’ eyes.
“Thank me, my lord?” Legolas asked.
“For being caring and supporting,” Elrond said softly to him.
“But… I did not do anything…” Legolas started to protest, but was silenced as Elrond’s finger was on his lips.
“You did. You care because you are interested in those around you, and if something was amiss to your eyes, you would always let it show, young prince,” Elrond explained, and then he started to kiss Legolas softly on the lips, only for Legolas to break away.
“My lord,” Legolas said. He got up and walked back a step.
“What is it Greenleaf? Have I hurt you?” Elrond asked.
Legolas covered his mouth and did not say anything. He lowered his face as he felt embarrassed by the kiss.
“Legolas?” Elrond called, but the young elf took another step back, as he felt ashamed.
“Why did you do this, my lord?” Legolas asked.
“Because…” Elrond started to say, only to be cut off by the prince.
“Because I am beautiful, my lord?” Legolas asked, as he knew that most of the elves thought that, and said so when he asked them.
“No, because for being the elf you are,” Elrond explained, and then asked, “Do you prefer that the kiss was meant for your being beautiful?”
“I… I thought you were punishing me, my lord, for all the trouble I have caused,” Legolas replied.
“Since when is a kiss punishment? Why should I punish you?” Elrond asked.
“Because of your sons, my lord,” Legolas answered softly and took another step back.
Elrond sighed.“ Legolas, has your father ever told you how stubborn you are?” he asked, looking at the prince. Then he continued, and found himself repeating over and over the same sentence: “My sons are alright; they came back in one piece, so stop blaming yourself!”
Legolas smiled shyly at the lord, but then another thought crossed his mind. “Do you really love me as I am or just because I am beautiful?” Legolas asked as he felt he needed to be certain.
Elrond sighed once more and thought, ‘When Thranduil gets here I will need to talk to him.’ And smiled as the thought crossed his mind.
“I love you as you are,” Elrond said and came closer to the prince.
“Love… me?” Legolas asked, his mouth agape.
“Yes, I believe so,” Elrond started to say, and then noticed the frown appearing on the young prince’s face. “For a long time, Erestor tried to convince me that my feelings for you were not love, that I loved another. But I came to the conclusion that I did love you, and I would do anything to make you mine… and you will be, beloved,” Elrond confessed, wiping the tears from his eyes.
“So that is why he blamed me for…” Legolas’ tone of voice sounded angry to Elrond.
“Will you forgive him?” Elrond asked, looking at Legolas, but it seemed that the young prince had not paid any attention to what Elrond had said.
“Legolas,” Elrond called, and added as he noticed the look that Legolas gave him, “Will you forgive him? Will you forgive Erestor?”
There was silence, as if Legolas was confused by the question. Then he gave his answer. “I do not know, my lord, I do not know…” Legolas backed away from Elrond and quickly walked away.
Elrond called to him several times, but the prince did not return.
