Forgivness

Haldir and Orophin followed Glorfindel into the Halls of Fire and they stopped short. Rumil sat in a wing back chair by the fire. He looked so pale, small, and fragile. His eyes were vacant as if he had just nodded off. A cup of tea and a book were on the table next to his chair. They watched as Glorfindel knelt next to his chair and speak softly to him. At once Rumil awoke and smiled at Glorfindel even from this distance they could see the love between the two. Rumil looked at the door and started when he saw his brothers standing there. Glorfindel waved them over and they knelt next to Rumil as Glorfindel stood.

“You are leaving?” Rumil asked his lover.

“Aye you need to talk with your brothers love…in private.” Glorfindel kissed Rumil before he turned his gaze upon those kneeling next to the chair. “And you two, hurt him again and you will sorely regret it.” With one last loving look at Rumil, Glorfindel left to speak with Erestor and Elrond.

With Glorfindel gone Rumil turned and stared at his brothers not knowing what to expect. Haldir saw the apprehension in his brother’s eyes and sighed.

“I know you may never forgive us but we are truly sorry for what we have done.” Orophin took Rumil’s hand as he spoke.

“We did not realize how badly we had treated you. We took you for granted and should not have done so. If Glorfindel had not been successful…I do not know what would have happened to us.” weeping silently Haldir turned from his brothers.

Rumil slid to the floor and embraced his older brother as he cried. Rumil was suddenly aware that they truthfully did not see how they were acting. This did not make it right, it simply made it that much more bearable. Rumil held out his other arm and Orophin grateful slid into his embrace. The three brothers held each other grateful to be together again. They knew they still had a lot to talk about but did not feel the need to do so at that moment.

Glorfindel hoped that they would make up for it would help Rumil recover faster. He found Erestor and Elrond in the study. Smiling they bade him enter and he closed the door behind him.

“I apologize for my abrupt departure from Lorien I just could not bear to see him in pain.” Glorfindel said in a rush.

Elrond held up his hand to stem the flow of words. “I care not. I am glad that you and Rumil are happy. You have always held much respect and love for Rumil. Even as a child. I think this was meant to be.”

Glorfindel stared at Elrond in shock. He had not been expecting this from his friend! Erestor pressed a glass of wine into his hand.

“Let us drink to yod Rud Rumil. May you both have the happiness you deserve!”

They all raised their glasses and drank to the loving toast.
