Ch43


*Still that night*

Legolas rolled over onto his back and panted heavily as Elladan rolled to his side and cuddled close "So melanin...knees to chest seems to be a fear of the past...becouse I saw no fear in your eyes as you thrus..."

The prince clamped his hand over the elder twins mouth "You expect me speak after that? Give me moment, you may be patient healer...but...you wild loud Peredhil when pleasured!"

Elladan chuckled and Legolas pulled him close "I think I alright with you knees to chest now but...I know I not ready for myself"

Elladan nodded "I understand melanin. So, are you going to stay with your Adar at night until Railden returns from escorting Eldacar to the Gray Havens?"

Legolas shook his head "I offered, but Ada say nay...he say since I have you now, he not want separate us...he say same to Mirduin. Brother Erintur going to try"

~*~*~

Thranduil sat in his bed reading when Erintur entered and began to undress "Nay ion"

Erintur smiled and continued "It is alright Adar, I will stay with you this night"

The king sighed and got out of the bed "I love you dearly ion-nin, but there is no way that I will allow you to sleep in my bed...I will get no sleep at all"

Erintur blinked confused "But Adar...you can not stay alone...it could be harmful for you to do so"

Thranduil smiled and shook his head "You thrash"

The crown prince tilted his head, then blinked "I what?"

The king placed his hand on his sons shoulder "Sleeping with you is like being in the middle of a battlefield...so...as much as I appreciate your offer, I must fearfully decline...for my own safety"

Erintur chuckled and nodded "As you wish Adar...then who would you like for me to get from your personal guard"

Thranduil shook his head and physically, yet gently, shoved his firstborn into the hall "I will be fine ion, leave me be now"

Erintur starred at the heavy door that was slammed but an inch from his nose and yelled through the thick wood "But Adar, when you get no sleep you become more evil then a Belrog!"

Receiving nothing but silence, Erintur backed away from the door and furrowed his brow as he thought 'He refuses me, Legolas, any of his guards...who do I know that has the 'jewels' to handle remaining in the room with Adar when he is angry and tired...Glorfindel!...urah...nay, that would leave Mirduin alone and that would be unfair...'

Erintur made his way down the hall and took a deep breath as he hesitantly knocked. As the door opened, the crown prince stood tall "So, are the rumors about you true? That you have jewels of mithril and can endure verbal lashings and emerge unscathed?"

Haldir arched his brow "Interesting greeting prince Erintur...you are obviously distressed and in need of assistance. The fact that you are asking about the strength of my privates, tells me that you are despret...so...how may I help"

Erintur blinked at his response, then smiled, grabbed the warrior by the wrist, and pulled him into and down the hall "I do believe I came to the correct elf"

As they arrived at the kings door, Haldir arched his brow "Mmm...this has suddenly become a tad uncomfortable...is there a reason you have brought me to your Adars chamber at such an indecent hour?"

Without a word, Erintur produced a key, opened the door, quickly shoved Haldir into the chamber, then closed and locked the door.

Thranduil jumped from his chair by the fire and glanced toward the door as it slammed shut. The king snorted and shook his head with a sigh as he watched Haldir try in vain to open the door as he bit through his teeth "Prince Erintur unlock this door! Your Adar will not appreciate you forcing my presence upon him like this!"

Thranduil crossed his arms "Well march warden, we meet again"

Haldir spun as he took a deep breath and bowed "I apologize for the late intrusion my lord"

Thranduil tilted his head and arched his brow "It is not you who should be apologizing Haldir, and believe me when I say that Erintur will never do this again, for I shall tie that troublemakeing ion of mine to a chair and torture him with a long winded lecture that would have Elrond running for the hills"

The king then looked the warrior from head to toe, took a deep breath, and gave a sly smile "I like your sleep pants Haldir, the dark green complements you greatly"

Haldir paled as he then realized that Erintur had disturbed him just as he was getting into bed...and now...he stood before the one he loved in absolutely nothing but his very thin and worn bed pants.

The warden lowered his head with embarrassment and then sighed as his hair spilled over his shoulders to his bare chest and thought 'Argh...even my hair is down...in all my years I have Never appeared so inappropriately before a superior...what chance have I with him now'

Thranduil noticed how the proud warrior had become silent and thought 'I would wager that you have never been caught in such a state of undress...' The king then sighed '...I feel for you penneth, this must be quite hard for you'

Thranduil made no comment, turned, retrieved to glasses, filled them, then offered one to Haldir "Well march warden, my lovely son had locked you in with me...my balcony extends out over a waterfall and there is no other way out. Eldacar chose this room specifically because of my being a king. It is one of the most secure rooms in the homely house...so...it seems you are staying the night. Tul, sit with me by the fire penneth"

Haldir took a deep breath and followed silently. When they reached the fireplace, Thranduil gave a light smile as he held out a night robe "You may use this Haldir...on one condition"

Haldir arched his brow and narrowed his eyes questioningly "And that condition would be?"

Thranduil lightly licked his lips as he made an obvious assessing glance at the lorien warrior "You must let me brush and braid that fair hair of yours"

Haldir blinked surprised, then stepped forward and smiled as he took the robe and lightly inclined his head "However you wish to pass the time my lord"
