B, B & B



Ch8



The next morning, Elrond woke and sighed as he thought 'Well, I am not
dead...so I suppose I should get up'.

When Elrond finally focused on actually moving, he realized that he was
definitely Not alone in the bed. The elven lord arched his brow when he
discovered that he was sandwiched between his grown sons and gave them
both a nudge.

As the twins stirred, they unconsciously reached for each other and as
a result, Elrond found himself encased in for arms. Having not been in
this position since the twins were elflings, Elrond chuckled "Boys?".

Elladan focused first and smiled "Morning Adar", then reached over his
fathers and smacked his younger half in the chest...then again,
and again, and again, and...

Elrond finally intercepted his sons arms and frowned "Valar ion, are
you Trying to hurt him?"

Elladan rolled his eyes "Of course not adar, you do not sleep with him
to know that this is the only way to wake Elrohir...unless you are an
orc or warg...or whatever...then he jolts out of reverie and is kicking
Me to wake. The only other thing that works is if I were being harmed"

Elrond smirked, then grabbed his eldest sons wrist, bent it to a sharp
angle and gave it a twist. The moment Elladan gave a slight wince,
Elrohir shot straight up and yelled "Ella!"

Elrond released his eldest, then moved to sit up and back against his
headboard "Alright, now that you two are awake and alert...why in Uduns
arse are my grown ions sleeping in my bed like you were
elflings...hmm?".

The twins exchanged concerned looks and drew close. Elrohir then gently
placed his hand on his fathers knee and smiled "Well, we were worried
about you adar, and we thought you may feel comforted with us
close".

Elrond furrowed his brow "Why would you worry so, I am fine".

Elrohir bit his inner lip and sighed "Well, you...you are about to be
bound to a total stranger adar and...and as I said, we are worried
about you"

Elrond held up his hand and smiled "I do believe that I am old enough
to handle this ion-nin...and she is not entirely a stranger, I have met
her. Granted it was long ago but I Have met her"

Elladan finally shook his head, his tears flowing freely down his
cheeks as he lunged forward and buried his face into his fathers chest
and mumbled "It is so unfair! H...how can...s...someone...you
like...and then this elleth...why cant...Oh Ada!"

Shocked, Elrond blinked confused as he gently caressed his eldest sons
back, then looked to Elrohir for the translation, "Ion?"

The younger twin sighed and nervously scratched his neck "We know you
prefer males adar and we both find it immensely cruel
that...again...you will be bound to an elleth, and not be able to be
with an elon"

The elven lord swallowed hard, then choked "You...you know?".

Elladan unburied himself and sniffed "Nai adar, we know that you would
prefer to be with one that posses an elfhood and not a maidenhead..."

Elronds hand flew up as he winced "Daro enough! I will be fine. This
subject is dropped now and will Not be reopened. I appreciate your
concern, but this ends now. I was obviously not meant to be with what I
desire...let it go".

The twins duly sighed, removed themselves from there fathers bed,
walked to the door and then Elladan looked back "We will always be
there for you adar...you have our unwavering support". Elrohir then
smiled sadly "Saes adar, I need not remind You what happens to elves
who are forced into melancholy. Saes, our ears are always available to
listen...we love you".

Elrond swallowed the lump in his throat as pride overwhelmed him "You
know boys, your naneth Did give me something that an elon could
not...she
gave me you, and I have loved you both form the moment I felt you two
sparing within your naneths belly"

The twins beamed and then made to leave, but Elladan again turned and
tilted his head "Adar? I...I was just wondering...since you have always
preferred males...have...have you ever been with any?"

Elrond narrowed his eyes, but before he could say anything, Elrohir
yanked his elder twin into the hall and shut the door. Now alone,
Elrohir shook his head "Ella what were you thinking! Like adar would
really answer such a question!"

Elladan shrugged and began to walk "I was not expecting him to answer
Roh...I just wished to see his reaction, and he reacted the way I
thought he would".

Elrohir sighed, then slowly followed his elder twin down the hall and
mumbled, "He reacted the way you thought he would? Why does that worry
me".
