Awakenings

Part 4.

“So, who is the dark haired elf I always see you with?”

Glorfindel walked away from the training grounds with his new friend Ecthelion, they had only recently been acquainted but had fast become friends and often partnered up when sparing. They had also found a common ground and understanding, as Glorfindel was heir to the house of the Golden flower, and Ecthelion to the fountain. Both young lords were able to understand the pressure they were at times faced with, and enjoyed the company of another who understood this.

“Who Erestor? He is my best friend, you would like him, he’s so very clever. I‘ll introduce the two of you next time we meet”
“I would like that, does he not have combat training also?”
“He attends your basic sword and archery lessons, but his skill lies with his mind. You will find none as sharp witted as Erestor.”
“I look forward to meeting him, although…” Ecthelion glanced at Glorfindel with curiosity, “…would you mind if I were to ask you a personal question?”
“Of course not.” The blond replied breezily as always.
“Are you and Erestor…you know.” He finished with a grin and a tilt of the head.

Glorfindel smiled brightly and nodded his head.
“Erestor and I have an arrangement, well no not an arrangement per-say, more of a…an oath of sorts.”
“Oh?” The brunet asked curiously.
“Well…” Glorfindel paused and looked about him to ensure their privacy, “you will keep this to yourself? I do not know if Erestor would want anyone else to know. But as soon as he meets you I am sure he will not mind.”
“You have my word.”
“We have promised to be each others firsts.” Glorfindel had said with an excited grin.
“Firsts? First what?”
“Firsts! As in…you know.” This time Glorfindel tilted his head with a sly grin.
“Oh!” Ecthelion exclaimed smiling brightly once he had cottoned on to what his new friend was telling him. “I had thought as much when I had seen you together, the way he looks at you…” He trailed off, not thinking he had any need to finish the sentence.
“The way he looks at me?”
“Well, yes Glorfindel, have you not noticed? He looks at you as if you are his world. Its very endearing and sweet really, I really do hope he likes me, he seems nice.”

Glorfindel smiled affectionately and wrapped his arm around Ecthelion’s shoulders in a comradely way. “He will, although do not get the wrong idea if he does not talk to you all that much straight away, you see…he can be…shy. He is not rude! Just…shy, he finds it hard to get along with a lot of the other lads our age you see, he always has.”

Ecthelion nodded and smiled in understanding, he truly did look forward to meeting Erestor. He seemed such a nice elf from what he had heard.

“So, have you to not…not yet…”
“No, no not yet. But, we said we would tell each other when we were ready. And I am most definitely ready!” Glorfindel had said with a little more enthusiasm than he had meant to and blushed slightly when Ecthelion laughed, letting his arm slip back to his side with an embarrassed smile.

“Have you told him yet?”
“No I…I do not wish to, I want him to want it as much as I do.”
“That is understandable, but perhaps you should think about bringing it up with him? Did you not say he was shy? Perhaps he is ready also yet a little embarrassed?”
“You speak wisely, I think, perhaps I will.” Glorfindel seemed to let his mind wander for a moment but was brought back to the present when Ecthelion again spoke.
“So, what happens after you both…fulfil your oaths.” He finished with a grin.

Glorfindel had been grinning also. “What do you mean?” He asked with a chuckle.
“Well, afterwards. You promised to be each others firsts, what about the second time? Or the third? Will you see other people or…”

The smile quickly fell from the young lords face, he had not even thought of that.

“Glorfindel? What is wrong?” Ecthelion came to stand in front of his friend when Glorfindel had stopped and stood still, a sad look upon his face.

“I…I don’t know Ecthelion, we never actually…but we promised to be friends and love each other forever, and, no! No! He can not lay with another after me, he…I don’t want him to I…”
“Glorfindel! I am sorry I did not mean to plant doubts in your mind I’m sure if you spoke to him…”
“Yes I need to speak to him, I must go speak with him. Now. I have to go.”
“Glorfindel I’m sorry I didn’t mean to..”

Glorfindel actually managed to pause and look back at Ecthelion when hearing how worried he sounded.
“It’s alright, I should of thought of this before, I just assumed…” He said with a shrug, not finishing his sentence.
“We…we are still friends?” Ecthelion asked insecurely looking to the ground as he kicked a small clump of dirt.

Glorfindel smiled, in some ways Ecthelion reminded him of Erestor.
“Of course, in fact, thank you for making me realise that I had overlooked this small but glaringly important fact.” Glorfindel finished with a smile.
“And I can still meet Erestor?” He asked quietly.

Glorfindel brought his new and soon to be dear brother in arms close into a friendly hug. “Erestor is really going to like you.” he said simply before dashing off towards the building in which he knew Erestor was having his lessons.

He spied Erestor now, he sat alone in an empty room. All others had obviously departed and gone home, but often Erestor would stay longer for further studies. His teachers knew this and allowed it, knowing that their best student could be trusted. They were actually now past the age of tutoring, but Erestor had continued to further his studies, for he had hopes of holding an important position in the royal court someday. Just as Glorfindel continued his training, in hopes of becoming a great warrior. Glorfindel smiled as he watched Erestor scribble on his parchment, he grew more beautiful every day in his eyes. They had made that pact some years ago and were broaching upon their majority, and still, every night they would steal away together. Indulging in every intimacy they knew of save for the final step.

Erestor had grown, he was still shorter than the blond and still bared a willowy figure. But he had grown elegantly, his skin was so pale and so very soft to the touch. His eyes were still as dark and magnetic as they had always been And Erestor, Erestor was still as sweet, loving and shy as always. No. He simply could not stand it. The thought of someone else touching his soft skin, someone else kissing those lips, holding him close. No!

He was stealthy so as to not alert Erestor of his presence. He watched as Erestor stood and walked to a cupboard to retrieve what seemed more parchment. Slowly he followed Erestor into the cupboard, and stood watching admirably as Erestor stood bent at the waist leaning over an old desk full of supplies trying to reach what he was looking for. That was another thing, Erestor had THE finest backside, he spent many an hour simply fondling it as they kissed in his room. He stood admiring it for a while, and as Erestor stood up straight again he slammed the door shut behind them. Erestor immediately swirled round in surprise, a smile surfacing on his face when realising who was there.

“Glorfindel what are you…” The remainder of his question was muffled as Glorfindel surged forwards and pulled him into a deep and what seemed desperate kiss. He moaned and dropped the forgotten parchment onto to the floor in favour for wrapping his arms around Glorfindel’s neck. When they pulled apart Erestor gasped in surprise as he was effortlessly lifted and sat upon the old creaky desk. Glorfindel to had grown in stature, not only in height but in build also. His hours upon hours of training had helped him to build defined muscles, shedding his boyish look for a more masculine one. So it was with great ease that he lifted Erestor by the waist to seat him on the desk.

He parted Erestor’s knees and stood between them. He never took his eyes away from Erestor’s that had darkened from excitement and surprise. And whilst watching Erestor for his reaction he grasped Erestor under the thighs to bring his bottom half forward. Erestor saved himself just in time to keep from falling flat on the desk, he gasped realising how they were positioned. He sat with his hands behind him for support with his legs spread wide and Glorfindel between them, his behind perched on the very edge of the desk. Glorfindel had crushed their groins together and his legs had naturally come to close about the blonds waist.

Glorfindel was hard, and the feeling of that firm hot bulge against his groin caused a similar reaction in his own leggings.
“Glorfindel, you know what this looks like?” He asked with a beautiful smile and chuckle.
“It looks like I’m making love to you. Except I imagine it feels a lot different.”
And then without warning Glorfindel thrust harshly against Erestor. Erestor cried out in surprise , they had never actually done this before.

“Just imagine Erestor, as I thrust into you…” Again he thrust harshly against Erestor, their leggings causing delicious heated friction between them and ringing a cry from Erestor. “And then slowly pull out, only to push back in…” Again he thrust.

“I swear I’d make this feel so good for you Erestor.” He panted, continuing to thrust quicker and quicker, rubbing his erection against Erestor‘s.

“You want this don’t you?” Erestor managed to gasp. Glorfindel looked at him as if it were possibly the stupidest question ever asked. “I mean, your ready aren’t you?” Erestor now lifted himself shakily from the desk, supporting himself on his arms and with a tight hold around Glorfindel’s waist with his legs he shamelessly rubbed himself against the blond. Making Glorfindel groan and crush his pelvis against Erestor’s harder.

“Oh yes, I’m ready, I’m so ready Erestor.”

They continued to rub against each other, both moaning as they simulated what it was they longed for.

“Wait, let me just…” Erestor briefly pulled away and quickly pulled at the laces to his own leggings, letting his erection spring free and sighing in relief. He than hastily snatched at Glorfindel’s, making quick work of releasing the blonds need. When both were bare Erestor again lifted himself from the desk and continued his gyrations. Their moans became desperate cries and their movements frenzied. With one last harsh thrust, crushing their members together they came.

Glorfindel leaned over Erestor for a few moments before standing up right, an inane satisfied grin upon his lips. “That was…”
“Umm…good. We hadn’t done that before.”

They quietly fixed their appearance, it was Erestor who broke the silence.
“I’m ready to Glorfindel.” He whispered. Glorfindel looked at him wide eyes, Erestor had to chuckle at the wide grin on his friends face.

“Really? You are sure? Because I will wait until you are you know this…”

Erestor smiled and pulled Glorfindel closer to him, leaning back on the desk he kissed the blonds lips sweetly.
“I’m ready.”
“Y-you mean now?!”
“No…” Erestor rested his brow on Glorfindel’s shoulder as he giggled at his friends reaction. “I mean, sometime soon.”

Glorfindel grinned and spoke an embarrassed ‘oh’ before engaging Erestor in a slow and loving kiss.

“So what are you doing here in the first place I thought you had training this afternoon?”
“I did, we finished early and I was walking with Ecthelion…Oh that’s right you haven’t met him! You’ll really like him, he’s really very good with his sword and he’s funny, and he’s heir to his house to!”
“He is?” Erestor asked quietly, worry lacing his voice at how Glorfindel’s eyes shone when speaking of this other elf.
“Aye he is! He’s so very nice to, he reminds me of you some actually. He asked who you were and said that he wanted to meet you to.”
“Hmm, so…he’s a good warrior like you, and heir to his house like you…”
“Yes!” Glorfindel said excitedly, he frowned however when he noticed Erestor nod and avert his eyes as he fiddled with his sleeve, something he always did when worried or nervous.

“Is he…is he attractive?” Erestor asked with a voice that was supposed to sound disinterested but came out insecure and vulnerable, confusing Glorfindel further.
“I, suppose he is.” Glorfindel said with a shrug, ducking his head to try and gain eye contact.
“Is he…more attractive than me?” Erestor asked biting his lip, still not looking at Glorfindel.

Glorfindel tilted Erestor’s chin up to see worried dark eyes looking back at him. Holding him at the nape of the neck Glorfindel pulled Erestor in for a long and loving kiss. Slowly Erestor responded by gently wrapping his arms around Glorfindel’s waist as the blond cupped his face with both hands. When Glorfindel pulled away he rested his brow against Erestor’s and smiled sweetly.

“There is none as fair as you Erestor, not in my eyes.” He whispered, getting the desired effect of a blush, a sweet shy smile, and the arms about his waist tightening.
“Erestor, I…I came here to ask you something. I know we have promised to be each others firsts, but, what about the second time? And the third? We only agreed to actually, I mean afterwards do we simply go back to being friends or…”
“What do you mean?” Now it was Erestor who looked as if it were the silliest question ever asked.
“I mean…I could not bear to see you with anyone else. And I know we had only planned on, you know, just sharing the first time but…”
“Glorfindel, I had planned on being with you forever, the thought of someone else is absurd. There could never be anyone for me but you.”

Glorfindel stared, mouth opening and closing a few times trying to form words.

“Now I realise that, well we are young, only just approaching our majority, but I know in my heart that…I don’t want you to feel pressure or…can it just be us? Until we figure out what is right?”
“Yes, us, just us.” Glorfindel whispered as he wrapped his arms around Erestor’s shoulders tightly.

Erestor took the initiative and brought their lips together in a sweet and slow kiss, however they quickly pulled apart and stood quickly as the door to the cupboard opened.

“Erestor are you in here…Oh.”
“Master Quell! I…we, I was looking for something and Glorfindel just happened to passing by and was helping me.” Erestor blurted out, Glorfindel simply stood there awkwardly, they had never been caught before. Or so they had thought.

“I see, well, did you find it?” The tutor stood straight, his great robes falling gracefully to the floor giving him an air of dignity. His amused and knowing grin however ruined this image somewhat.

“Uh, yes, yes we did. Thank you, and I, I will be going now.” Erestor took Glorfindel by the hand and quickly lead him past the smirking grown elf, out of the cupboard and out of the tutoring room. Once outside both Erestor and Glorfindel burst into fits of uncontrollable laughter as they half ran and dragged each other to a familiar old oak tree. There Erestor rested his back against the tree with Glorfindel’s head rested in his lap, listening contently as Glorfindel told him about his new friend Ecthelion as he stroked back blond hair.
