I don't want to lose you

Faramir walked through the great corridors of Minas Tirith. He was a son of Gondor, a steward. Now that his king was absent, Minas Tirith rested in his shoulders. He stared at the White Tree elevating it heights and felt the breeze stroking gently his face. He stared slowly at the familiar figure standing at the doors of the castle.

Faramir caught himself hypnotized by the smooth silver hair dancing with the rhythm of the wind. He was enchanted by the movement. A flickering smile was slightly appearing on his face when they eyes gazed up. Faramir was drawn out of his hypnotic state. He tried to retreat his eyes away but the warm smile on the beautiful face made him shiver: those enchanting blue eyes provoking him. Faramir felt his heartbeat bumping at the same compass the smooth hair was dancing with the wind. He managed to put himself together and spoke.

“Why you did not leave with him?” Faramir avoided the blue eyes “I thought you’ll be miles away by now!”

Legolas smiled and stared at Faramir’s eyes “He didn’t need me! And I wanted to stay here!”

“Really?” Faramir hid his smile. He was a son of Gondor, first Captain of Gondor’s army, the head of Gondor while the king was gone. He couldn’t allow his feelings to go to the surface. He felt weak in front of the elf. “Then I guess is just the two of us stuck here at Minas Tirith, while the others ride to glory!”

“Isn’t Eowyn with you?” The elf asked with a smirk already knowing the answer.

“No, she’s at the Golden Castle visiting her brother! She left a couple of days ago!” Faramir fixed his eyes on Legolas’ and stepped closer to the elf. His heartbeat was even faster. He could smell Legolas’ scent. Faramir felt the urge of running his fingers through the elf’s smooth hair. He grabbed his own hand in an attempt to control his impulses, he found himself clumsy in front of the elf. He quickly tried to hide his clumsiness but Legolas was paying too much attention. Faramir blushed at the eye contact; Legolas laughed warmly and wiped the hair of Faramir’s face. That gentle touch made Faramir’s body melt. Faramir could hear his heart pumping even faster. He lowered his head ashamed and pushed Legolas’s hand away. The elf chuckled and grabbed Faramir’s hand on his own.

“What are you afraid of?” Legolas asked gently stroking Faramir’s face “You have been avoiding me since last night!”

“Last night I was … it was the wine who was speaking!” Faramir turned his back on the elf. He was having so much trouble accepting that he had fallen for the Elf “I am sorry … I think we should keep our distance!”

Legolas cocked his head and grabbed Faramir’s wrist. “You know that’s not true! We meant everything we said yesterday! I can see it in your eyes; you want this to happen as much as I do!”

“But we can’t!” Faramir cried “I am with Eowyn! I cannot do this to her!”

“Do you think she hasn’t noticed?” Legolas frowned “Do you think she is unaware of our eyes meeting up saying all the things we were afraid to say? She loves you Faramir and she can decipher the feelings kept in your eyes! That’s why she left! And I really don’t think she’s coming back!”

“But she hasn’t said anything!” Faramir shook his head “She trusts me! I don’t want to betray her! This cannot be!”

Legolas sighed. He understood Faramir’s feelings. He knew it was not easy for Faramir, he had just married Eowyn and now he found out that he was in love with Legolas. “It is not my wish to put any pressure on you! I have strong feelings for you Faramir! But it is not my desire to see you suffering. If you want to walk my way I will be waiting, my heart and arms are open to you; but if is your desire to walk away from me, I will understand, and I promise I will leave immediately and never cross your path again!”

“I don’t want you to leave!” Faramir kissed Legolas’s hand.

“I don’t want to leave either! But you have to make a decision, Faramir steward of Gondor! If you decide to be with me you must let me know before midnight, otherwise I will leave Minas Tirith forever … and I will not return! I will be waiting for you it is what I most desire, but as I’ve said I will understand any choice you make! I love you so much that I will be happy with anything that makes you, my love, happy!”

“Your words only confuse me even more! I do not know what to do! Shall I follow my heart or my mind?” Faramir run wiped the hair of his head “I feel like whatever choice I make is not going to be the right one! My feelings upon you are strong. I have never felt this way before but I cannot betray Eomer’s trust, he gave me his sister in marriage, I cannot drive Gondor into the shame!”

“I am sure that you will choose what’s best for everybody!” Legolas lowered his head “I will be at my room … and I will be waiting for you!” Legolas walked away leaving Faramir immersed in his own thoughts.
