Ch 55

Legolas made his way to the
twin’s chamber and knocked. “Come…” “…In” The prince shook his head and
chuckled “May I speak with you both a moment?” “Of course, come sit with us, we
always have time for…” “…You Legolas, we are on the bed” Legolas arched his
brow “You are not naked are you?” “Nay, would you…” “…Like us to be?”

The prince sighed, crawled onto
the bed, moved to the center and sat with his legs crossed “I guess it would
not mater if your were” The twins gave each other a worried look, crawled
forward and sat before the prince “Legolas is something wrong?” “Yes you look
concerned” The prince nervously fiddled with his hem “May…may I ask your
council on something?”

The twins looked at each other
shocked, no one ever came to them for council “Of course Legolas” “Yes,
why don’t we have a small warrior circle” “Good idea brother” Legolas smiled “I
would love to share a circle with you both” The twins settled themselves
“Proceed then Legolas”

The prince then took a deep
breath “Alright…now do not get me wrong, I loved Faramir dearly, but before the
end of his life, when he was still able to walk, he sat me down and told me
that he knew my immortal heart loved another. And that when he passed, he
wished for me to go and find my life mate”

Elladan leaned forward “Faramir
always was smart, sounds as though he was making sure you would be happy”
Legolas nodded “Nai…you see, that was four years before he passed, we had been
unable at that time to…well, because of his ageing, things…certain things no
longer…worked…if you get my meaning. He became very fragile and his mind played
tricks on him…he would think that his brother Boromir was in the room, when he
had been long since past…everyone is so concerned about my grief…I am passed
that point, I have already grieved and let him go…I had to”

Elrohir nodded “You sound like
Adar, he had to…let go…of our uncle Elros before he passed. Adar said it was
interesting to see what he would have looked like aged, but it was very saddening
for him. Uncle Elros was in need of total care in is last years” Legolas sighed
“My dilemma is, when would it be appropriate to…to allow…when should I be able
to…”

Elladan reached forward and
placed his hand on the princes shoulder “You want to know when it would be
appropriate for you to allow your life mate to claim you” Legolas bit his lip
“Nn…nai” The twins simultaneously sighed “I believe, that after you burry
Faramir, you should wait about a month or so” “Yes, I agree brother” The young
prince frowned “But that is such a short time”

Elrohir took his hand “Edain's
lives are short, they succumb to illness so easily, or get killed or eaten by
the foul creatures that roam Arda, that could be why they breed so much and so
quickly. They do not wait long before they find another mate…and since you were
with an adan, I do not see why you should wait long either. Faramir’s mortal
mind would have had this thinking…Elladan is right, a month or so is a fine
length of time”

Elladan then sighed “And as far
as your life mate is concerned, well, Haldir has waited this long…I doubt
another month or so will be much of a hardship” Legolas lowered his gaze “You
know that Haldir is…is…” “The one that holds your heart? Oh yes, we have known
that for quite some time” “Yes, the moment that he stepped forward in our
Adar’s study when we offered to take you to your chamber…it was obvious that
you captured his heart”

Legolas smiled “I can not help
but wonder what…what he would be like…I have never been with another elf. When
he held me…he is so strong and…and when he growled I felt…I felt whole. I know
this sounds odd but, when he growls, I cant help but close my eyes and…and
purr. Its as though I have no control over it…but at the same time, it feels so
right”

The twins sat agape
“Le…Legolas, did your Adar never explained to you the significance of why two
elves…err…why they growl and purr?” The prince shook his head and the twins
gasped “Valar Legolas! Your Adar should have explained that to you when you
reached your majority!” “Yes, it is the first thing a father explains to his
son when discussing elven relationships”

Legolas shrugged “Well perhaps
he did not deem it necessary because I was with an adan, would you tell me?”
The twins gasped “Nay!” “Nay!” The prince furrowed his brow and Elladan cleared
his throat “It is a discussion between father and son…when you get home, you
grab your Adar and have him tell you…the only thing I will say is, is
that it is natural…here, how do you feel when I do this…” Elladan then leaned
forward and growled in the prince’s ear. When he did, Legolas suddenly heard
Elrohir purr loudly.

The prince blinked “Though it
is arousing, I feel nothing like I do with Haldir…Elrohir’s reaction however,
is exactly what I did” The twins sighed “You need to speak with your
Adar” “Yes, first thing upon arriving home” “Alright, I will…hannon le for the
circle and namarie” “Namarie Legolas” “Yes namarie and safe journey”

Haldir and Legolas departed for
Mirkwood. Later that evening, when they finally made camp, Legolas accepted the
lembas and water from Haldir and settled. The prince bit his lip as he thought ‘When
he growls, I purr…I wonder what would happen if I growled’ Haldir
took a sip of his water, then instantly stilled as Legolas growled. The prince
could hear Haldir’s breathing slowly increase.

Suddenly he was knocked
backwards with Haldir atop him. Frightened, Legolas instantly stopped his
growling. The princes eyes flew wide as Haldir’s lips crushed his own ‘Valar!
He…he is so…strong…and rough…he was gentle when I purred, he was gentle
when I…’ Legolas quickly began to softly purr. In return, Haldir calmed,
let out a long low growl and nuzzled at the prince’s neck.

It took all of Legolas’s
strength not to nuzzle back, but when the Lorien warrior’s hands started to get
to friendly, Legolas swallowed hard “H…Haldir?…Haldir?” The march warden
blinked and scrambled off the prince “I...I’m sorry I…” “Valar Haldir, your
strong” “Legolas, why…why did you growl at me like that” “Well, when you
growl, I…I purr and…I just wondered what would happen if…I’m sorry I upset you,
I will not do that again”

The march warden shook his head
“Upset me? Legolas, I was not upset” “B…but you attacked me” Haldir
reached out and caressed his cheek “Well of course I did. I’m a dominant…you
naturally purr to my growl, that indicates that you would be a receiver”
Legolas furrowed his brow “I was both with Faramir” “Do not get me wrong
prince, a balance is always found”

Legolas stood abruptly “I…I
will begin my watch now” “Legolas…” “Sleep Haldir, I will wake you when it is
your turn” Haldir watched the confused prince prepare and thought ‘I keep
forgetting that you are still young melanin…and have never been with another
elf’ The Lorien warrior watched as Legolas sat and began to listen to his
surrounds, then laid down, closed his eyes, and began to envision the lithe
archer trembling and purring from his affections. Haldir licked his lips as he
thought of his arousal buried deep within his loves tight heat, and the mewling
whimpers that would spill from the princes beautiful lips.

Legolas sniffed the air,
blinked, and smirked “Haldir, I said sleep” “I just laid down prince, give me a
chance” “Aye, if I give you anymore time, the smell I am already receiving
will…” “Legolas! Stop talking and let me sleep” The prince went over to his
satchel, pulled out an item, wiped it at Haldir, hitting him square in the
face. The march warden grabbed the object and chuckled “A hand cloth?”

Legolas smirked as he sat back
down “Nai, the way your scent is increasing, whatever your train of thoughts
were…if you continue, you will be needing it shortly” Haldir mumbled, rolled
over, and a short time later, fell into reverie.

When they arrived in Mirkwood,
Haldir looked around in shock and thought ‘Valar, he walks unaided here?’
Thranduil and Genderel emerged from the main entrance “Ion!” “Adar! Atar!”
Haldir watched them embrace and smiled. Legolas drew back and lowered his gaze
“I’m sorry I ran off like that…I just…I needed to find Haldir”

Thranduil looked over at the
march warden and immediately began to inspect the prince’s neck. Legolas
squirmed “Aye Ada that tickles daro…what are you doing” After finding nothing,
the king sighed “Just making sure” “Of what” “Nothing, go to Atar” Genderel
then grabbed the prince and took him inside.

Thranduil walked over to the
march warden and let out a protective growl. Haldir immediately dropped to one
knee and lowered his head. Thranduil drew close “Aright Haldir…Elrond far spoke
to me after you left Rivendel, you traveled here alone with my son, is
there anything I should know?” Haldir cleared his throat and told him about
Legolas growling at him, and the prince’s confusion about his reaction.

Thranduils eyes widened “Get
up…listen to me Haldir…I have not told Legolas about the natural base instincts
of elven bond pairings yet” Haldir’s jaw dropped “My lord you…you mean he…”
Thranduil sighed “Nai, he has no idea what the growling and purring mean, or
why he was driven to find you…he was with an adan, I was going to tell
him after he perished, but he fled to you”

Haldir shook his head in shock
“I…I do love him my lord” “I know. If I am satisfied with his reaction to
you…we will discus that later, but let me ask…if you were to bond with my son…”
Haldir stood tall “I would wish to reside here in Mirkwood” “You would leave
Lothlorien…the city of light…and come live here in Mirkwood, where darkness and
evil roam greatly. Reside in a mountain…and cease being the march warden of the
Galadrim, and the only life you have even known”

Haldir looked the king in the
eyes “To be with Legolas…nai” “Very well…come with me” Thranduil lead the
Lorien elf to the prince’s chamber and was met by Genderel and Legolas. The
Mirkwood king grabbed Haldir “Stand there” “Nai my lord” “Ion, come here and
stand before Haldir” The prince furrowed his brow but complied. “Alright march
warden…growl at Legolas” “My lord I…” “Growl!”

Haldir did, and Legolas slowly
closed his eyes and softly purred. Thranduil sighed, “You are holding back,
give him a proper growl” Haldir took a deep breath and licked his lips, then
released a low rumbling growl. Legolas instantly closed his eyes, leaned
forward and purred loudly as he nuzzled Haldir’s chest and neck. But when the
prince began to turn his body around and rub his backside against the warrior,
and Haldir suddenly grabbed the prince’s hips, Thranduil pulled him away “Come
Legolas, we need to discus something”

As the king entered his study,
he bellowed to his other advisers “Out! Now! Get out and lock the door!” As
they scurried, Legolas bit his lip “Did I do something wrong? Ada I’m sorry, I
could not help myself…saes, do not be angry” Thranduil pulled his son over to
the fire “Sit down ion, you and I need to have a little talk”
