Ch45


*Hmmm...and...still that night*


Haldir sat on the floor before Thranduil and remained still as he brushed his hair "So Haldir, in what style shall I braid your hair? Perhaps...ah I know...the style that the prostitutes ware in those mortal brothel's!"


Haldir abruptly scooted forward and turned sharply "You would not dare!"


Thranduil arched his brow and smirked "Oh I dare say that I would...tul, I would like to see what they would look like woven in that fair hair of yours"


Haldir fear/furrowed his brow "Nay!"


Thranduil snorted and shook his head "Alright...alright now calm down, I will not braid you thusly...now get back over here"


The march warden arched his brow "Swear upon it"


The king crossed his arms and lightly pouted "You do not trust me?"


The lorien warrior shook his head "Not in the slightest, swear it to me"


Thranduil rolled his eyes and chuckled "Very well...I swear I will not braid your hair in the fashion of a mortal brothel worker"


The march warden slowly returned and held still. After a short time, Thranduil swayed and Haldir turned just in time to see the king jerk his head up and blink "My lord are you finished with my hair?"


Thranduil pulled his hands away and nodded "Nai Haldir"


The lorien warrior turned and knelt before him "Tul my lord, let me place you to bed"


The king shook his head "Nay Haldir...I will not sleep this night, you do not understand"


Haldir reached forward and lightly caressed his jaw line "I will lay with you my lord, help me to understand why it is you need someone near...I am capable of offering you innocent comfort"


Thranduils eyes widened and he sat tall "You most certainly are Not laying in my bed with me...you find me of interest and..."


Haldir wriggled his eyebrows and smirked as he sighed loudly "Oh...I see, you do not trust yourself around me"


Thranduil narrowed his eyes, then chuckled lightly "Funny march warden, I will have to remember to write Celeborn about your amusing wit, and to the reason I am unable to sleep alone...I...I have horrible nightmares"


Haldir moved closer and slowly placed his arms around the kings waist "What sort of nightmares my lord"


Thranduil sighed "You repeat this and I will have you skinned Haldir"


The march warden placed his hand to his heart and nodded "It shall remain with me until Valinor and beyond"


The king arched his brow "There is no beyond after Valinor Haldir"


The lorien warrior rolled his eyes and shook his head "That is my point Valarmir, I will never tell"


Thranduil sighed and lowered his head "That endirment is...eh...nevermind...my nightmares are memories about my mate. We were in the woods when she still held legolas within her...she went into labor early and...and after I delivered my own ion, a party of orcs attacked. She was weak from the birth, Erintur was but an elfling and tried to lift one of the dead warriors swords to protect her..."


Thranduil sighed and shook his head "...My warriors were all dead and I stood over her, holding my new ion Legolas, and Erintur clutching to my leg...the orcs pulled us away and...and then they took from my dear mate as he laid there helplessly...I could do nothing to help her, I needed to protect my...more warriors arrived and killed the band...but not before the damage to my mate..."


Thranduil closed his eyes "She told me before she past moments later that she would dwell in Mandos and not pass over to Valinor...there would be no healing from this..."


Haldir staired dumfounded as the one he loved, the king of Mirkwood, cried onto his shoulder. The march warden pulled back, wiped Thranduils face and tilted his head "I will hold you close this night, I will sit upon the long chair, and you will rest your head upon my lap. I will keep the memories at bay and comfort you my lord"


Thranduil took a deep breath and nodded as he whispered "You are not what I expected Haldir of Lorien"


The march warden smiled and stroked the kings cheek "Nor are you my lord...tul, rest this night"


Thranduil sighed as Haldir pulled him down to lay his head upon his lap and gently caressed the kings hair until he fell into reverie and thought 'If I have my way Valarmir...you will never feel that type of fear again'

*The next morning*


Thranduil inhaled deeply the alluring scent before him, he nuzzled firmly and moaned just before he opened his mouth and lightly bit the moist fabric, he had never felt this at peace and sighed contentedly.


As he opened his eyes, he blinked when he realized that he had turned in the night and was now facing the march warden groin with his arms wrapped firmly around his hips.


Thranduil slowly looked up and saw that Haldirs head was forward and the king cringed when he looked into the warriors beautiful blue eyes and thought 'Valar, is he awake?'..."Haldir?"


The Lorien warrior slowly arched his brow and smiled kindly as he whispered "Nai my lord...I am awake"


Thranduil groaned and then sighed as he closed his eyes and mumbled "Wonderful"


Haldir placed his hand on the kings head and gently stroked his hair as he silently noted to himself that Thranduil had not released him...or pulled away "You have been sniffing, nuzzling and lightly biting my privates for some time now, I doubt that anyone could remain asleep through that my lord"


Thranduil sighed heavily and looked up "You could have woke me"


Haldir slowly shook his head and took a deep breath "Forgive me my lord but...I did not wish to. I thought upon the fact that you are not interested in me and I feared not having you close again"


Thranduil got up, walked to the wardrobe, then looked back over his shoulder and whispered "Who said I was not interested"
