~*~*~*~*

"Glorfindel, stop making a face. These cooked vegetables are good for you. You have to eat something. " Erestor sighed as he pointed the spoon toward Glorfindel's mouth, trying to feed the other one, but stubborn as Glorfindel was, it was a hard task.

"Open up, Glorfindel, or I swear I shall spill this stew all over you." Erestor threatened his husband and finally Glorfindel opened his mouth, accepting a spoon Erestor had been holding for a five minutes now.

When he chewed the last offerings of the food Glorfindel commented rather loudly, and Erestor shook his head in disbelief.


"Ugh Valar, that stew tastes just like a horse droppings mixed with a Balrog piss. I swear I will get you back for this Erestor. I think my stomach had decided to rebel against me."

"And I suppose you would know how Balrog piss tastes like. After all you are a famous Balrog slayer." Erestor laughed as he heard Glorfindel's whining and he placed the bowl on the nearby desk, settling himself on the bed after that.

"Darling, therog rog was fighting me, but he was not pissing on me. I was just merely comparing that stew with something so horrible as that." Glorfindel shifted on his elbow and he glanced upon his husband who was taking a rest on the spot beside him. He saw mysterious beauty in Erestor, something he never saw before and he longed to reach out and touch that trait.

"Erestor, have you indeed loved me for a long time." Glorfindel asked that question, which bugged me at this moment and he received the surprising glare coming from Erestor.

"Yes, I have. Since the first time I saw you, and millennia's ago I have managed to keep it inside. You were so preoccupied with your other lovers so you didn't notice me, pinning for you at that time. As the centuries passed I had learned how to conceal my love for you and I have done it well, until now that is. I recall I have told you about this before." Erestor glared adoringly at his love and Glorfindel felt the truth in those words and he wanted to say something that could make Erestor happy, something that would make Erestor think his love had been returned. But it would be a lie if he would try to confess something that wasn't there yet. Yes, there was this attraction he felt for raven haired beauty, but the love for him he didn't feel yet. He wanted so badly to feel it and he knew that the other one had deserved to be adored and Glorfindel was sure that with time given he would love Erestor with the same capacity of the heart.

"I wish I had known sooner. I would have tried to court you, but in the past I was always repelled by your cold manner. But now, I know you are not selfish, arrogant elf I thought you were. You are someone who should be respected, loved and adored by any lucky lover and I am honored to be bonded with someone like you. I have misjudged you in the past but I swear I shall never be that blind again." Erestor was breathless when the other one said these things in honesty and he blushed a little from all those compliments he received.

"I know I had been unapproachable in the past but that was just my mask working on the outside. I wanted so many times to tell you about my feelings, but I was always discouraged every time I looked upon the mirror. I always thought that handsome warrior such as yourself wouldn't want poorly looking advisor for a lover."
Erestor softly said and he glanced upon the other elf, blushing once again when he uttered his admission.

"Oh, Erestor. And I though that I was a blind one. Do not describe yourself in such a way. You are not poorly looking and as the matter of fact I find your beauty very intoxicating. Your face, your hair, your smile, your cheekbones; I find everything beautiful about you. How can you see otherwise?" Glorfindel moved closer to his husband and he touched his face in the gentle manner, raising the others jaw so he could gaze at his eyes.

"Nay, I am not handsome as you are Glorfindel. I cannot compare myself with your beauty. Your body is built in a warrior like grace, and whilst mine is somewhat skinnier and scrawny." Erestor started speaking again but he lost his concentration as the Glorfindel's gaze held him prisoner and he surrounded himself to those blue orbs.

"You are not that skinny. Stop underestimating your beauty, Erestor. Besides there will times you are going to wish you are skinny but thivilivilege of having the baby will take that away." Glorfindel winked at him and Erestor gasped as he heard his husband teasing him like this and he wondered if Glorfindel really wanted to make a child with him.

"Huh, you said something about the baby. Do not tell me you want to make baby with me. When did this conversation shift to that topic?" Erestor opened his mouth as he explored his husbands face and Glorfindel sighed, wishing he had held his tongue before he made this somewhat uncomfortable for them.

"Well, we are bonded and somewhere in the near future to make our bond stronger we will have to copulate, and by doing so there will be chances of you conceiving. Did you forget about that baby revelation I had told you couple of days ago." Erestor blushed very deeply when Glorfindel said all of this and the Elda just smiled at his shy husband, not believing that the other one could be so wickedly innocent.

"Oh now I understand, but I thought our bond is only strong when we are together. I never thought we have to make it stronger by doing, well you know what."
Glorfindel gently smiled at his husband and he touched the other's cheek with his finger, savoring the silken smooth skin he felt behind that touch.

"Oh Erestor. Do not be so hang on the words. The making love is what that thing is called and yes it is required to fulfill our bond. I had read this book not so long ago and some couples that are bonded this way, had survived many centuries. Of course they had many children, but strangely they are still well and alive. One of those couples live here near Imladris and although we had never saw them at any social gatherings, they are living proof that this thing had worked." Erestor didn't pay attention much to what his husband was saying right now. Erestor loved when the other one caressed him like this and he leaned into that touch, which was making his head spin in process.

"Hmmm...it is strange that advisor of Imladris didn't read this book and is completely blind guided into this bound. Can you tell me something, Glorfindel. Do you feel any attraction toward me right now, because I can tell you from my side that the feeling of attraction is very strong. Am I supposed to feel like this every time I am near you; this want and desire. I do not why, but it is overwhelming me now."

"Do not think it is a strange thing, because I feel it to. I think this feeling is produced from our bond and it will grow stronger, within every day we spend together. The attractiveness we feel for each other right now is a sign that this bond is building a strong wall around us and it is pushing us into each other's arms. I am afraid we cannot do anything to prevent this feeling from running free."

Glorfindel kindly glanced at the other elf and he shifted himself closer to Erestor's body, enjoying the heat the other elf produced around him.

"Oh, I thought I was somehow going crazy but it turns out it was just a bond acting up. How strange it is to feel this want toward someone very deeply." Erestor looked upon Glorfindel's handsome face and there he only found the same expression he harbored at this moment. They were getting closer any moment they shared and it was with the help of the bond, that they had felt comfortable being in the same room together.

Glorfindel was still touching Erestor's face and he felt that he needed to touch the other elf too, but he restrained himself from doing so. He knew that they needed to take their time with sharing any kind of intimacy between them, and Erestor understood that Glorfindel needed to heal first before they take the next step.

"Erestor?" Glorfindel slumped down on his side of the bed and he retrieved his hand from the other's face.

"Yes, Glorfindel." Erestor responded with the gentle voice and he glared at his husband waiting for the other one to start speaking.

"Don't you think it is weird that our Lord is getting married again. Do you not find it funny that his future husband is the one he had crush on, millennia's and millennia's ago." Glorfindel smiled mischievously at Erestor and advisor just shook his head, as he to to to the questions his husband uttered.

"Yes, but faith sometimes is a strange little player and it can put us in the most compromising situations we had never meant to deal with. Hey, and how do you know Elrond had crush on my cousin. Who told you that."
Erestor raised his eyebrow in question and Glorfindel just laughed as he replied in a cheerful tone.

"Elros! Elros had told me that, years and years ago. He found it very funny that his brother was in love with someone so cruel and every time we met to have a friendly drink, he always had talked about his brother and his current fascination with your horrid cousin. It was a talk of the century and I believe every warrior under Gil-Galad's command had known Elrond's little secret." Glorfindel laughed again when he saw visible shock on his husbands face and he sat up again as he glanced at the laying form next to him.

"Oh, Valar. And I thought I was only one who knew that. Hey, you don't suppose Arthon had heard about that rumor somewhere. It would be so embarrassing for Elrond if the other one had known his secret all those years ago."

"I have no idea. He maybe did, but he chose to ignore it. Knowing Arthon he would surely ignore that because it was of no importance to him whatsoever. Arthon was never the one who would return feelings to someone who had liked him. Trust me, I had seen him in action when he refused my best friend, and it was not a pretty sight to see."
Glorfindel mused and he shuddered when he remembered his tutors cold behavior and he decided that talking about Arthon was a waste of time. He didn't want to talk about someone who had humiliated him many times in the past and who had made his life living hell.

"You know what. I think we should change our subject. Talking about Arthon is not a fun topic and I tend to avoid it in every conversat Any Anyway, I am tired and rest should be best for me this afternoon." Glorfindel pulled the blanket over them and Erestor nodded with his head, agreeing to avoid the topic about this cousin today.

"I think you are right. I am tired too and I think some sleep would do us good."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A?N: (Sorry, this part is short and it's was meant to open Semar's eyes a little. I never really wanted to write it, but nonetheless I squeezed it in)
~*~*~*
Semar franticly knocked at the door in front of him and he waited for some answer from inside, that would tell him if he could enter freely. The voice recognizable to him told him to enter and he pushed open the door, coming quickly inside. He saw Stinah sitting at the bed with puzzled expression on his face and Semar came to his friends side, quickly brushing the tears that were visible on his eyes.

"Semar, my friend, what is amiss. Why are you upset?" Stinah pulled the other one to sit beside him and he gently hugged the hurting soul, waiting for his friend to collect himself and start speaking.

"It is Huor, He chased me away from his room. He was furious at me and I do not know why. You should have seen his face ten minutes ago. It was so filled with some unexplainable agony and I think something is very wrong with him."

"Ahhh, and I am assuming you have told him we are together. Hmm that was a very interesting reaction coming from him. Very interesting, indeed."

Stinah rubbed his jaw in the silent thought and he glanced at his upset friend who was about calming a bit.

"Yes, I had told him but I don't think that had affected him very much. He even wished us good luck. What I don't understand is; why is he acting this way." Semar mused and he turned to his friend who was lost in his thought himself.

"There you are wrong, my friend. He is very much affected by our news and that is why he is acting in a strange way. He is jealous." Stinah said this to his friend and Semar opened his mouth in the sudden shock, not believing what the other one just said to him.

"Umm I, he is what? But how could he be jealous when he doesn't love me. You are wrong about that, Stinah." Semar denied the obvious fact but he looked back at those few minutes which he had spent with Huor and he tried to find some resolution in his beloved's behavior.

"You are blind, my friend. You don't see the truth behind all those hidden emotions Huor tends to cover from you. Look deeply, explore, my friend and there you will find your beloved, covered behind all those fake fights you shared in the past." Stinah kissed his friends brow and he hugged him more tightly, giving him more comfort this way.

"Listen, you can stay with me in this room tonight, but tomorrow when you are more collected you must return to his room, and find out for yourself why he is acting this way. You will see that everything I have told you is true."
Stinah rocked his friends body as the other one tried to calm his raging thoughts.

"No, I don't think I will be spending a night here. I have to get back to Huor and check what is wrong with him. After all, this is Haldir's room and I think he would object having one more guest in it. No, I shall be going back there in a while, but first I needed some advice on this matter from you." Semar looked at his friends eyes and the other elf just smiled at him, understanding where the other one was coming from.

"The only thing you need to do is to be patient and with time given Huor will reveal his feelings to you. Now, well! Now, he is dealing with the jealousy and he is stubborn to admit to himself that he is in love. But ... this plan of ours still needs to be under a way. I am trying to make someone jealous and with your help I can bring some pain to my ex-lover, which he surely deserves." Stinah's gaze changed into the wicked one as he thought what kind of reaction that fake admin won would bring to Haldir. He couldn't wait to talk to Haldir again, and he had decided to manipulate his lover, and to drive him crazy for a while, before he would finally take him back.

"You must tell me of Haldir. How did you end up in his room?" Semar questioned and he scanned the room that was Haldir's, wondering how his friend ended up here.

"I will tell you that, after I get something to eat. Would you mind going with me to the kitchens. I am starving and I must eat something." Stinah got up and he dressed himself in his tunic waiting for his friends reply.

"Not at all. I am also famished and the trip to the kitchens is what I need. Besides I need to get something for Huor too, since he is refusing to eat, but still I will take him some food." Both of the elves exited the room and they started walking toward the kitchens, preoccupied to see anyone sneaking around in the shadows.
