Summary: This started out from the idea of "How to lose a guy in ten day" but somewhere along the way it went way off course. Glorfindel dumps Erestor because he does everything wrong. Are did he. Is there something more then friendship between Erestor and Legolas. Read to find out.

The Twins ran out to meet Legolas as he rode into the courtyard.

"How is he?" Legolas asked as he jumped from his horse, barely giving the animal time to stop.

"Not good; he has locked himself in his room now and refuses to come out," Elladan told Legolas as he pulled him toward Erestor’s chambers.

"Did you get the pastries that he likes" Elrohir asked?

"Yes, I picked them up at the first shop I found in the village," he replied.

The scene that greeted them once they reached Erestor’s chambers was a sad sight. Erestor was curled up on his bed crying his eyes out, in between his sniffles he was mumbling, "Hedoesnotlovemeanymore."

"Oh, my poor baby," Legolas cried as he gathered him up in his arms.

"Hedoesnotlovemeanymore," Erestor cried into Legolas arms.

"Shh, shh, there, there. I'm here now," Legolas said as he rolled his eyes at the twins, "He is not worth your time."

"Ijustdon'tunderstandwhyhedumpedme," Erestor sobbed

"What did he say when he broke it off?" Elrohir asked

"That this was not working and we should *hiccup* be friends," and the crying started again, "He did not even mention if he liked the way I re-organized the armory for him."
The twins looked at each other, and then at Legolas who was looking at them "Um, Erestor, did you say that you re-organized the armory?"

"Yes," he sniffled.

"You do know that it took him centuries to get the armory just the way he wanted it? Right," Elrohir asked.

Erestor looked up at his friends, "No!"

At the look of utter shock on his friends faces Erestor fell into another crying episode.
"It's okay, this happens to everyone," Legolas said to Erestor as he patted his head.

Erestor’s head snapped up as he glared at Legolas, "It would not happen to you. You are perfect, you could puke on an ellon and he would still think you are cute." The twins were nodding their heads in agreement.

Legolas jumped to his feet. "Would not, if I did the same things that Erestor does I would get dumped too," Legolas said with his hands on his hips.

"Hey!" Erestor exclaimed.

"Prove it," Elladan replied as he stood up. Elrohir stood to join his twin, nodding his head too.

"The next ellon that courts you, you have to do the same things that Erestor does," Elrohir told Legolas.

"Hey!" Erestor exclaimed again, " Would you three stop saying that I do everything wrong!"

"Sorry, Erestor, but you do. How many messages did you send to Glorfindel in one day?" Elladan asked

"And how about the fact that you re-organized the armory, or that you re-organized his rooms, and his office?" Elrohir added.

"But they needed it and I wanted to show him how much I cared about him," Erestor replied.

"Erestor, the two of you had only been courting about two weeks," Legolas said.

Erestor looked down at his hands, "But I loved him.”

“Well, why do we not go to dinner. Tomorrow things will be better,” Legolas stated. With that said the four got ready for the evening meal.

After the evening meal the four sat in the Hall of Fire on one of the many benches, laughing and joking. Three were trying to keep one’s mind off Glorfindel.


~~~~~~~~~~


From across the room Melannen (the dear one) and Elrond sat talking. "I heard that Glorfindel and Erestor are not courting anymore?" Elrond said, "He re-organized the armory."

**Snort** "I heard he also sent fifteen messages a day to Glorfindel about how wonderful he thought he was," Melannen added.

"So how long did this one last?" Elrond asked

"Ten days," Melannen replied.

"Well, that is two days more then the last one," Elrond said.

**Snort** "Like you have ever courted an ellon for more then ten days," Melannen replied.

"I have too courted ellyn for more then ten days before!" Elrond replied all puffed up.

"Easy my friend, I am just joking," Melannen replied.

The two fell into quiet conversion on other events going on. As the night went on Melannen noticed Elrond looking at the fair Legolas. "See something you like my friend?" he asked Elrond.

"No, I was just thinking that I should talk with Legolas before he heads back home about some matter I need to discuss with his Adar (father),” Elrond said.

Elrond thought to himself. 'He is beautiful'.


~~~~~~~~~~~


Elrond walked over to Legolas and asked, "Would you care to join me for a walk in the garden, Legolas? I would like to discuss some things with you"

The four looked up at Elrond as he spoke. Legolas looked to the twins to see if they minded.

Elladan told Legolas, "I think a walk would do you some good; yes, do go."

Legolas got up and looked to Erestor. "Will you be ok, my friend?"

"Yes, please go, Legolas. I will be fine. I have some work to finish anyway," Erestor replied.

"I do not think so," Elladan said.

"You can come play a game of chess with us. You still owe us a rematch," Elrohir added.

"Are you sure I will not be in the way?" Erestor asked

"Of course not," The two replied at once causing all to laugh.

"So it is decided," Elrond stated. "Legolas will go for a walk with me so we can talk and you three will go play chess." All nodded their heads in agreement and left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the Twin’s rooms the three sat on Elrohir’s bed around a chess game talking.

"Your poor Ada (Daddy)," Erestor said.

"I know, just think of all the things Legolas has to do to him," Elrohir added.

"Poor thing and you know how much he likes our Ada. Just think, if Ada makes it through all of this, Legolas could be our new Nana (Mama)."

All three were rolling on the bed laughing at the thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond and Legolas wandered though the garden, each in their own thoughts. Looking up to the stars Elrond said, “The stars look beautiful tonight.”

“Yes, they do,” replied Legolas.

“Will you be headed home soon,” asked Elrond?

“Yes, my Lord, it is time Erestor and I get back home,” stated Legolas.

“It will be a sad time when you leave,” Elrond said

“I do not think I will be missed too much. I do think that it would be a good idea to get Erestor home soon where he can heal,” Legolas replied.

“I was hoping I could persuade you to stay a little while longer,” Elrond said.

“You would like for me to stay? Why, my Lord?” Legolas asked.

“I would like to get to know you a little better,” was Elrond's reply.

“Me?” Legolas asked.

“Yes, you,” Elrond replied as he lean over to place a gentle kiss to Legolas’ lips.

Legolas broke the kiss and took a step back saying, “Maybe I should be leaving.” Turning, he ran out of the garden toward the house.

“Your move, Elrohir,” stated Erestor. Elrohir looked at the board and then to his brother, “Well, even with both of us playing against him he is still beating us.”

“It was your bright idea to play chess with him,” Elladan stated, matter of factly.

Erestor smiled his first genuine smile of the evening.

“That is what we want to see, my friend, if it takes you beating us to make you smile, then you can play with us every day,” Elladan told Erestor.

“Yes,” agreed Elrohir.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Legolas stopped inside the door. ‘Why am I running?’ he thought to himself, ‘Because you are stupid,’ was the response his mind gave.

Out in the garden Elrond stood for a minute wondering why Legolas had taking off. He berated himself for his actions; of course Legolas would have been skittish after what happened with Erestor. Shaking his head, he headed in the direction that Legolas had headed.

Legolas turned when he felt a hand on his shoulder, laying his head on Elrond’s shoulder he cried he was sorry. Elrond placed his arms around the weeping elf, soothing the troubled soul, “I should have known better,” he said.

“No, I should have not acted like some Elfling receiving his first kiss,” replied Legolas

“It is understandable after what happened with Erestor.” Taking the young one’s chin in his hand, he raised Legolas’ face to look at him. “I would not hurt you in such a way; I am not Glorfindel and I do not give my love so freely. I would very much like the chance to court you.”

“I would very much like the chance too,” answered Legolas.

Taking Legolas hand he brought it up to his lips and place a gently kiss to the back, “May I have the honor of walking you to your rooms.”

“Yes, thank you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later that night Legolas sat and leaned against Erestor retelling of his walk with Elrond.

“So why did you run?” asked Erestor.

“So he would follow,” replied Legolas as he reached back to place his lips to Erestor’s.

Smiling, Erestor pulled his friend closer to him as he deepened the kiss. Pulling back he said, “ Just be careful. Do not get hurt.”

“I will try not to,” was the reply he received back from Legolas.

Erestor stayed hugging Legolas close for a few more minutes before suggesting that they head to bed. Snuggling down into the covers and pulling Legolas to him again. Erestor thought about how little time he had left to be able to hold his friend close. As a tear fell, he slowly went to sleep.

Legolas laid there for a few minutes listening to the soft sounds of Erestor sleeping. He would miss his friend when he chose a mate. He knew they would still be friends, but they would lose the closeness that they had shared for so long. He did not know if he could go through with this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun rose over the valley removing the shadows of the night before finding its way to the Lord of said valley in deep slumber. Elrond slowly came to awareness with a smile upon his face as the new day began. Stretching, he leisurely rose out of bed and headed to the bathing chamber to ready himself for the day with thoughts of a blond haired elf on his mind.

While in another part of the house Legolas and Erestor were also waking to the new day.

Legolas stretched as he turned in the embrace to come face to face with the dark haired ellon that haunted his dreams. “Morning, my friend,” Legolas said as he pressed his lips to Erestor’s. Erestor tighten his arms around Legolas as he drew him closer to him. Opening his lips, he allowed him access to that which he sought. As Legolas’ tongue explored Erestor’s mouth he heard a low moan escape Erestor as he pulled back, “We can not do this, you know what will happen if we continue.”

“Yes, we would be happy and complete.” Legolas replied.

“No, I would be dead and you would find yourself with a mate not of your choosing,” Erestor argued. Laying his head upon Erestor’s chest, Legolas reluctantly giving in, “You are right as always. Come let us get ready for the day. I need to win Elrond since you failed with Glorfindel.”

“I did not fail. If I had to choose between spending all of eternity with that or sailing I would choose sailing.” Erestor stated.

“You know you would not be given the choice of sailing.” Legolas answered sadly.

Hugging Legolas closer Erestor answered, “I know, I know.”

~~~~~~~~~~~

Erestor stood watching the scene in front of him with barely controlled anger. He knew deep down that Legolas and his bond was not a real bond in the sense most knew, but it still did not change the fact that he had the urge to yank Legolas out of Elrond’s arms and ride out of Imladris today.

Legolas seemed to be progressing with Elrond at a fast pace and Erestor knew he would soon be told of an upcoming bonding between the two. With that knowledge his heart was breaking a little each day. “They make a good a good match, do they not?” Erestor was startled a little at the sound of Melannen’s voice.

“Yes,” was all the answer Melannen got as Erestor turned and walked away. He stood there for a few seconds watching Elrond and Legolas together before frowning and heading toward Erestor.

Catching up with him, he continued, “You know I was told to send a letter to King Thranduil about arranging a betrothal between Lord Elrond and the Prince.” The sound of a limb breaking stopped him in mid sentence. He stood there watching Erestor walk off and then looked to see the tree limb that Erestor had broken off the tree. Looking from the limb to Erestor and back he wondered what exactly was the relationship between Erestor and the Prince and how a merge scribe had the strength to break a limb off a tree as if it was a twig with one hand. This he was going to find out.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Legolas had felt his friend’s anger early that afternoon and felt the need to go to him. As soon as he could excuse himself from Elrond’s presence he headed to find his friend. Upon entering their shared chambers he noticed Erestor sitting upon the bed. Closing the door he headed in. Looking at the foot of the bed, he noticed Erestor had packed his things, “Erestor, why are your things packed?” he asked.

“I have requested new chambers, My Prince,” was the reply Erestor gave.

“Why,” Legolas asked as tears started forming in his eyes.

Erestor grabbed his bags and headed to the door. “Lord Elrond has send word to your ada asking for a betrothal between the two of you. I will stay until the night before the bonding ceremony and then I am gone. Do not make me witness the end to my world,” as an after thought he added, “Tell your adar he got what he wanted.” With that he walked out of the room.

Legolas stood watching him go, watching his world slowly fell apart; he fall to the ground sobbing, “But no one asked what I wanted.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


It had been a week since the day Erestor moved out, and Legolas had not seen him in all that time. He knew he was close and that he was hurting. There was nothing he could do, nothing to ease the pain. Pain that he was also having. The bond was almost as old as they were and with each year it had gotten stronger. Legolas had heard said that the two of them had the strongest friendship bond that any had seen. He remembered the day that his adar had remarked on it and how the words that followed had torn his world apart.

He and Erestor were sitting in their chambers when his adar had come to talk to them. He had stated that he feared that their bond was two strong and that one day their friendship bond would become something more. He stressed that it would mean Erestor’s death if this were to happen. It was not a week later that they were told that they were to head to Imladris and that one of them better, if not both, to come back bound and not to each other. The mere thought of losing the bond was the worst thing Legolas could imagine next to Erestor’s death, and now their bond was on the verge of disappearing forever.

Word had been sent that no betrothal was needed and that King Thranduil and his court would arrive at month’s end for the bonding ceremony. That was a mere ten days away. How could he go through with this? He did not love Elrond. He loved Erestor!

Legolas sat looking at the silver ring on his finger. He had not even been asked if he wanted this. On the day the messenger had arrived Elrond had handed a box with the ring in it to Legolas before making an announcement to the dining hall of their upcoming bonding. He did not think he could live the rest of his life without Erestor; to never feel him again, to never wake up in his arms again. NO! He would not do it, but how to get out of this bonding? Legolas sat thinking till a thought crossed his mind, thinking back to the conversion between himself, Erestor, and the twins. Yes, that would work. It had to work.

So, bright and early the next day Legolas set out with his plan.

The first step was Elrond’s office.

Stepping out with a smile on his face, Legolas set out to his next step, the Hall of Fire.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Melannen entered Elrond’s office, taking a look around and he frowned at what he saw. “Doing some reorganizing are we?” he asked.

“What you do not like it?” Elrond asked sarcastically as he tried in vain to find the papers he was looking for.

“What are you looking for?” Melannen asked as he started looking around.

“That trade proposal that we received from Lothlórien last week. It needs to be signed and sent back by the end of the month,” Elrond replied. “I have not been able to find anything all week and with dealing with all the other things Legolas has tried helping when I have not had time.” Looking up at his advisor, he asked, “Explain to me why my staff keeps helping him rearrange things?”

Melannen, trying his best not to laugh at his distraught Lord, replied, “That would be because he is your intended, My Lord.”

“I am doing the right thing. This will unite two realms,” Elrond tried to explain. “Besides it is too late to call it off ;his Adar will be here in a matter of a few days.”

“My Lord, have you ever wondered about the relationship between Erestor and --?”

“No, Melannen. No, I have never wondered why up until two weeks ago the two of them not only shared the same chambers but the same bed. No, I have never wondered why those two have a closer relationship than my twin ions. What I do know is that with this union I will be able to unite that realm to this one just like when I married Celebrían. I united Lothlórien to us. I would have preferred to have him bonded with one of my ions, but since I can not seem to get those two to be with anyone but themselves I have to do this myself,” Elrond told his startled advisor.

“I see. So you really do not wish to bond with Legolas,” Melannen asked with a grin as he handed the trade proposal to Elrond.

Elrond looked suspicious at his friend and Advisor, “No. Why what have you come up with?”

“Well what if I could get your ions, Erestor, and Legolas together?” Melannen asked.

“I would finally know why I made you my Chief Advisor.” Elrond listened intently.

Melannen proceeded to tell his Lord of his plan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Melannen knocked on the door leading into the chambers he had assigned to Erestor after he had moved from the rooms he shared with Legolas. Not waiting for an answer, he walked into the room, ducking just in time to miss a bowl being thrown at his head, “Watch it, little one, I would hate to have to put an end to that life of yours after I have just found a way to save it.”

Erestor gazed at the intruding elf with simmering hatred, “You entered my chambers without my permission and you know nothing of my life.”

Walking more into the room, he picked up an apple off the tray of food left untouched by the door, “I know that you are the last elf on Arda that wants this bonding ceremony to take place. I know that you and your fair prince share a ---- let’s say special bond. I know the only reason that Legolas in going through with this is because of his adar and that stupid law that Mirkwood has about royals bonding beneath them, and I know of a way for you to keep your Prince and make everyone happy.”

Erestor looked skeptically at the advisor, “Well than, I would say that you are smarter than any elf in many millennium because no one has ever found a way to keep a Friendship bond.”

“I have. Tell me, what do you think of the twins?” Melannen asked as he led Erestor to sit down as he retold his plan.

“What about Thranduil? He is not going to like this?” Erestor asked the advisor.

“I think Thranduil will be fine with this, Legolas gets bonded with royalty and the two realms are united,” Melannen stated.

“And what about Elrond?” Erestor asked.

“Elrond is fine with this, but we have to get Legolas and the twins to agree to this,” Melannen told Erestor.

“Well I think I can get Legolas to agree and I know just what to do with the twins. Leave them to me,” Erestor told Melannen as he got up and headed to the bath chambers. “Now if you will excuse me, I have some planning to do.”

“What do you need from me?” Melannen asked.

“Lots and lots of wine,” was Erestor’s reply as he filled Melannen in on the rest of his plan.

Erestor took a deep breath then knocked on Legolas’ door. This plan had to work. The door opened to a very surprised Legolas. Without explaining, Erestor walked in and closed the door behind him. Pulling Legolas into his arms he took his lips in a tender kiss that spoke of love and friendship. Legolas pulled back to look into his friend’s eyes to judge if he had finally lost his ever-loving mind. Erestor laughed at the shocked look on his friend’s face as he pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed. Placing one more kiss to his lips, he started to tell Legolas of Melannen’s and his plan. Hoping that Legolas would go for it and hoping it would work; only dawn would tell if it had.

~~~~~~~~~

The chambers were all set up from the cases of wine to the trays of food set around the room. Erestor believed that Melannen had really thought of ever thing. This was perfect. At the knock at the door he looked in the mirror and smiled; it was now or never. He led the twins into the room and poured them a glass of wine each. Handing it to them he raised his glass to a toast, “To love and life, and may we all find love.” The twins looked at each other and then back at the ellon in front of them. Their ada had called them into his office earlier in the day to inform them that the betrothal between Legolas and himself was off. That the two of them were not in love with each other and that to bond just to unite two realms was not a good reason. He had also informed them that he felt that Legolas was in love with another and he did not want to stand in the way of his happiness. He had hinted to them that maybe one of them was the one Legolas may be in love with, so when they received the message from Erestor to join him in a quiet evening of drinking and playing chess they were a little surprised that Legolas would not be there.

Raising their glasses they downed their first glass of wine and started on their next. On into the night the three ate, drank, and laughed. As they took turns playing each other neither twin seemed to notice that Erestor drank very little himself while he kept refilling theirs.

~~~~~~~~~

“Checkmate,” Elrohir called out, “I win!”


Erestor looked at the board. ‘I lost’ he thought to himself as he said, “good game Roh.”

“So what do I win?” Elrohir asked.

“What do you win?” Erestor repeated, “What do you want?”

“A kiss,” Elrohir replied causing Elladan to spit out the wine he had been drinking.

“A kiss,” both Elladan and Erestor said at the same time.

“Yes a kiss,” Elrohir purred as he crawled his way over the chess broad to sit in front of Erestor.

“One little kiss,” he repeated as he leaned forward to claim Erestor’s lips as his arms circled around his waist. It would have been a perfect kiss had Erestor not been sitting on the edge of the bed and had Elrohir not leaned Erestor back causing both elves to fall.

Elladan crawled to the edge to see if everyone was okay; as he looked over the edge, he found himself pulled to the floor. As he hit the floor he turned over to see who had pulled him off the bed. As he lay on his back he felt two mouths latch onto the lobes of his ears. After only a minute the two left his ears to slowly moved down his neck as hands quickly undid his shirt. He thought briefly about stopping them as slowly they move on down his stomach placing small kisses in their wake. As he felt his pants undone and his erection freed, the two came still lower. That thought left as he felt two tongues lick up his erection. He watches as the two met at the top to kiss. Taking the head of his penis into their mouths, their tongues danced around the tip. Elladan thought to himself that clearly the two had had way too much wine and as the oldest he had to stop this. Just when he had gathered his thoughts enough to say something he heard his twin say to Erestor, “Let us be your first.” Elladan watched as Elrohir put his hand around Erestor’s neck and took his lips into a passionate kiss; all thoughts again left his mind as the desire his twin felt for Erestor washed over him in waves. Soon Elladan was beside his twin helping to rid Erestor of his clothes. Just as they had gotten Erestor’s shirt off there was a knock on the door.

Before they could answer, the door opened and Legolas walked in, asking, “Have either of you seen Erest-----or?” he finished upon see the three on the floor. With a devilish smile, he walked over to the three and asked Erestor, “Do you need help, my friend?”

“Your help would be appreciated, my dear friend,” Erestor purred as he untangled himself from the twins. Legolas grabbed Erestor around the waist and pulled him close, taking his lips in a heated kiss. The twins just stared opened mouthed at the sight of the two. If they had not already be rock hard they would be now. The two broke the kiss, placing they foreheads together they turned to look at the twins saying, “Well do not just sit there. Why do you two not join us?”

Elrohir could not think, and Elladan was not doing much better. The thought of both Erestor and Legolas in their bed. The two most beautiful elves in all of Middle Earth brought tears to Elrohir‘s eyes at the thought of what could happen. Erestor and Legolas looked at each other and smiled at the twins as Erestor took Legolas hand and pulled him over to the bed as he looked back to the twins purring, “you are coming, right?”

“They will be,” Legolas added, as he was led to the bed. In one move he knocked the remaining chess pieces off and crawled to the middle. Erestor quickly removed the remainder of his clothing before joining Legolas. Taking Legolas’ lips again he proceeded to conquer his mouth as he started to remove Legolas’ shirt. Moving from Legolas’ lips he kissed each spot as it became bare to his lips, stopping only long enough to dip his tongue into Legolas’ belly button, earning him a moan as Legolas arched up. Erestor smiled wickedly as he looked up at Legolas’ before moving on to rid him of his pants; as he untied the laces and pulled the offending material down freeing Legolas’ member to his glaze. He placed a small kiss to the top as he continued to remove the material down. Soon it too lay on the floor with the rest of the clothing.

The twins stared at the sight before them. Never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that Erestor and Legolas would be together on their bed. Doing what they were doing. As Legolas’ pants made it the rest of the way off, Erestor crawled back up to place a kiss to Legolas’ lips; the next thing he knew he was on his back. Legolas pulled back and looked over at the twins. With a smile on his lips he leaned to the side just enough for the twins to watch as he grabbed Erestor’s member and started stroking it up and down earning himself a deep moan from all in the room. Elladan reached back and started hitting Elrohir on the arm. The thought drifting through their mind to each other ‘Do you see that’ and “Oh by the Valar.’

The two were used to the dumbfounded looks they were getting. Very few knew of their bond, and even fewer understood it. Legolas and Erestor were bonded friends. Few remembered or knew of a friendship bond. In Mirkwood, the tradition was still carried out. An elfling born the same day as a member of the royal family was bonded to that said member. Few carried the bond as far as Erestor and Legolas were about to, but it was not unheard of. The friendship bond was made to insure that the youngest members of the royal family had loyal friends to play with as elflings and fierce a protector when older. From the day Erestor was born he was taught to protect Legolas. The bond between Erestor and Legolas had been especially strong from the moment it was formed and was still strong after all these years.

Elladan was the first to snap out of his daze. Reaching for his brother he started to move toward the bed. The thought, ‘I get Erestor,’ drifted through his mind. With a chuckle he started to remove his clothing, stopping long enough to see if his twin was following suit.

Legolas continued to stroke Erestor as he watched the twins strip out of their clothes. He was so contently watching them that he did not notice Erestor’s impending release. Erestor quickly grabbed the base of his member to keep himself from coming as Elladan crawled onto the bed, laying down beside Erestor as Elrohir came around the bed to slip his arm around Legolas’ waist to twist him around. Placing him on his back Elrohir took his place beside Legolas. Erestor and Legolas turned to each other and taking their lips into a passionate kiss as Elladan snaked his arms around Erestor bringing his lips to Erestor’s neck kissing his way to his ears. He pushed one leg in between Erestor’s, causing him to in turn, push closer to Legolas. Elrohir’s moves were similar to his twin’s and soon the four were wrapped around each other. Had anyone come in at that point they would not have been able to tell where one ended and another began.

As the twins kissed Erestor’s and Legolas’ necks their gaze caught each other. Slowly the two reached over letting their lips caress each other’s. Erestor and Legolas stopped as they stared at the erotic sight the two made. In moves only an elf could make the twins found themselves flat on their backs each with a delectable wood elf covering them. Each being kissed down their chest with a slow anguishing pace. Each a slave to the elf over him, who with practiced ease leisurely and mercilessness teased the twins beyond sanity and into the world of unspeakable passion. The wood elves knew exactly what to do from decades with each other on how to drive an elf insane with just their mouths.

One would think a mirror had been put down the middle of the bed if one did not have blond instead of dark hair for the two moved as one down the chest of each twin. Stopping to take the pinkish nub into their mouths they licked and sucked till it was as hard as the rods that were being ground into their stomachs. Not being ones to leave a job only half done the two moved on to the other side giving it the same treatment then moving on down. Erestor stopping long enough to dip his tongue into Elladan’s belly button before proceeding to the core of Elladan madding desire. Legolas having his own ideas of how to drive Elrohir to the brink of ecstasy, continued his pace straight to Elrohir’s hard member. Taking it into his mouth, he teased the small slit before engulfing the whole thing with his mouth.

Erestor catching a glimpse of Legolas’ treatment of Elrohir, moaned at the memories of receiving the same treatment. Quickly grabbing the base of his member to stop his release he laid his forehead on Elladan’s stomach trying to force back the task at hand. Feeling Elladan dig his hands into his hair, he gave himself only a second before continuing on his way down to Elladan’s member. Starting at the bottom he licked his way up before taking the organ into his mouth, relaxing his throat he engulfed it till he felt it touch the back of his throat. Slowly coming back up to the tip as his hand circled around the base. Then coming back down he let his hand move in an up and down motion as his tongue circled around in the opposite direction as he hollowed out his cheeks and added a sucking motion to it. Stopping only long enough to slick one finger he continued his manipulation. Moving his finger to Elladan’s tight opening he hummed around his member as he slipped the finger into the snug opening. Crooking his finger to find the small bundle of nerves, he knew he had hit his mark when Elladan moaned loudly and started slashing his head back and forth pulling at Erestor’s hair, begging for release.

Legolas took all he could take of listening to Erestor as he continued to torture Elladan. Raising up from his own torment of Elrohir, he placed a kiss to his lips saying that he would be right back as he headed to retrieve some oil. Elrohir turned to watch Erestor slowly bring his twin to the very edge then squeezing the base to stop his release. Elrohir crawled over to take his twins lips in an adoring kiss then kissing his way down Elladan’s neck across his chest to take a nipple into his mouth. Erestor, seeing this, moved up to take the other one into his mouth while still keeping his hand on Elladan’s now engorged member as the two proceeded to inflict great desire on him.

As Legolas stepped out of the bathing chamber with the rose scented oil he stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of Erestor and Elrohir. Walking slowly to the bed he bent down, pulling Erestor’s hair to the side, then whispered in his ear that Elrohir and Elladan made a beautiful sight together. Erestor, understanding what he was saying ,smiled sweetly at him. Legolas uncorked the bottle and poured oil on his fingers leaning down then quickly but lovely prepared Erestor. Pouring some more oil on his fingers he handed the oil to Erestor who handed it to Elrohir. Elrohir taking the oil looked at Erestor as he moved him to sit in between Elladan’s legs whispering that he should be the one to take his twin the first time. Opening the bottle he poured a generous amount onto Elrohir’s fingers. Moving his fingers down to Elladan’s heated opening he instructed him on how to prepare his twin. As Elrohir prepared Elladan, Legolas moved behind Elrohir to prepare him. He crooked his finger to find the small bundle of nerves hiding inside; upon finding it he stroked it causing Elrohir to purr. When Erestor judged Elladan ready by the begging and pleading coming from his lips, he placed a pillow under his back and taking his place behind Elrohir, took the bottle of oil and poured more onto his hands then rubbed it onto Elrohir’s hard member. Elrohir positioned himself at Elladan’s opening, leaned over and taking his twins lips, he pushed in. Before he could sheathe himself in all the way, Erestor also positioned himself and pushed inside of Elrohir. As Erestor pushed inside of Elrohir it caused Elrohir to push farther into Elladan causing a near scream to escape his lips. Legolas pushed himself in to Erestor in one thrust all the way to the hilt. As the four joined, Erestor set a rocking motion that pushed him into Elrohir and back onto Legolas. Elrohir did the same motion caused the same effect but with him pushing into Elladan and back onto Erestor. As Elrohir took his twin he could feel his soul reaching out for his mate.

As one set of souls joined for the first time and another set joined again, thunder rumbled through the night. When the newly formed bond of the twins searched out to connect with the bond of wood elves lighting flashed across the sky, and thunder erupted shaking the very foundation of the house upon meeting. The elves screamed as the release was torn from them upon the forming of a new bond. The four falling into a heap of tangled arms and limbs as Elladan pulled his twin to him as they drifted off to sleep.

As the moonlight shone through the window the wood elves curled around their now sleeping mates. In the morning the four would face the path they now walked down together, but for now Legolas reached down searching for the quilt at the end of the bed. Pulling it up he laid a brief kiss to Erestor’s lips before covering them all as the pull of sleep now engulfed him. Erestor, the last to fall asleep as the storm raged outside, thought to himself tomorrow would be time enough. Tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun broke through the window to shine onto the bed revealing four bodies tangled together. As Elladan stretched he looked into the gray eyes of his twin. Feeling a warm body pressed up against he back he froze for a minute till the memories of the night before came back to him. Looking to the other side of this brother, he smiled at seeing the blond hair tangled with that of his twins. He had wanted to be in this position since the two Mirkwood elves had come to Imladris. His smile faded at the sound of a throat clearing at the end of the bed. Looking down he saw his Ada and Melannen standing there.

Elrond stood at the foot of the bed, Melannen to his side. All counted on how he handled the next couple of minutes. “We have received word that King Thranduil and his court are at the outer borders, maybe it would be a good ideal to be dressed and ready with an explanation of why the four of you are bonded without a ceremony.” With that he turned and walked out of the room.


Elladan laid his head back down, not relishing the thought of confronting the Mirkwood King. Especially with the pounding headache he had from the amount of wine he had consumed the night before. As he felt the bed behind him move, he asked, “Morning, hervenn, I do not suppose you heard my Ada?”

Erestor leaned up on his elbow as he placed little kisses along Elladan’s shoulder and across his shoulder blades. Smiling as he heard a soft moan escaped his hervenn’s mouth, he answered, “Yes, I heard. So I was thinking, maybe we could just not get up.”

“Well, my love,” Elladan said as he turned pulling Erestor into his arms. “That would mean that he would have to come in here to yell at us.”

“Yes, but would we not be comfortable,” Erestor asked?

“That would be a matter of opinion.” Both Erestor and Elladan looked over to see Legolas leaned up on his elbow.

“Yes, but we may be able to sleep a little longer. Not all of us are full Elvish and the effects of the wine have not worn off as of yet,” everyone laughed as Elrohir supplied his two cents worth to the discussion at hand. Legolas, still laughing, bent down to place his lips to the Elf knight’s while saying, “Oh, my poor hervenn. Please tell me what I can do to make it feel better?”

“Yes, do tell us what we can do to make you two feel better,” Erestor asked as he rolled Elladan onto his back to straddle his waist. Bending down he took one nipple into his mouth, sucking it as he played with the other. He smiled to himself at the moan that escaped Elladan’s lips.

Seeing the torture that his brother was going through and never one to miss an opportunity Elrohir grabbed Legolas and flipped the Mirkwood Prince onto his back as he began his own form of torture.

~~~~~~~~~

Elrond and Melannen stood outside the door for a minute discussing what to do next upon hearing the moans starting to come from the room Melannen smiled and said to his Lord, “I do believe we might have to stall the Mirkwood King for a little while. This may give you a chance to let him know that the betrothal between Legolas and your self is nulled.”

Grimacing Elrond glared at his Adviser as he said, “Remind me later why I have you around.”

Melannen just smiled as he started to walk away, “To get *you* out of *your* messes,” Melannen threw back over his shoulder as he turned around the corner.

Elrond shook his head, laughing to himself, as he headed to his chambers to ready himself for the upcoming visit. He thought to himself, ‘If he is not careful, I may just fall for him one day.”

~~~~~~~~~

As King Thranduil rode into Imladris, it was with a heavy heart. He did not know what he was going to do about his son betrothed to Elrond. Elrond, of all elves. He just could not understand why Elrond. The twins he could see, but Elrond. It was not that he disliked Elrond, not by any means. It was just he thought someone younger would be better, but then again he had always thought that Erestor would be the perfect mate for his son. He had always wished that he could make that come true, and now he had the way. If only he could find a way to break the betrothal between Elrond and Legolas. The King shook his head as he looked back at the elf that followed behind him.

~~~~~~~~~~

A little while later Thranduil sat in a room looking around at all the faces. He had met with Elrond earlier and was told of the betrothal being broken. He now sat looking at four elves whom had, all in a moment of drunken passion, bonded themselves together. Secretly he was overjoyed but he could not let them know this as of yet. Not with the elf that was traveling with him getting increasable anxious to be heard. Having to keep up appearances he continued with his rant.
This time aimed at Erestor since he had already laid into the twins. “Erestor!”

“Your Highness,” Erestor bowed his head.

“You,” Thranduil pointed to Erestor, “You, after all I have done for you. This is how you repay me. Your Nana came to my realm heavy with elf and I welcomed her. Gave her a place to stay till your birth, and after she died giving birth to you. I allowed her dieing request to bond you to my son who was being born that day.”

When a snort was heard from the elf that had up until now been quiet, all eyes fell on him. It was Melannen who broke the silence to ask, “Do you have something to add to that.”

“Yes I do; this has gone on long enough. I am High Priest Faelon. I have come to collect Prince Erestor, the ion of his Royal Highness, King Nárion and the late Queen Raumo, and return him to the land of his Adar,” he answered.

“He is not the Crowned Prince then,” Melannen stated.

Looking at the elf in front of him more closely, Faelon asked, “How do you know he is not the Crown Prince?”

“Had he been the Crown Prince you would have stated it,” Melannen challenged.

“True he is not the Crown Prince, there is an older ion to take the thrown when the time comes, but King Nárion wishes that both his ionnath reside in his lands,” Faelon informed them.

“Like Mandos I am,” Erestor snorted. “If I am the Prince of this land, why is it only now that you are coming to collect me.”

“We have been searching for you since word reached us that the Queen’s escort had been attacked. When we discovered that the Queen had not perished in the attack and we did not receive word from your Nana that she was safe, His Majesty sent out as many elves as he could spare to search for her. We had assumed she would have introduced herself as Queen Raumo. We never imagined that she would not have,” Faelon replied.

Legolas who had stayed out of the discussion up until now got up and went to where Faelon was sitting. Placing his hands on either side of the elf, he leaned down, and said, “ You can go back to your King and inform him that Prince Erestor of Mirkwood and Imladris will be unable to fulfill that request. If he wishes to see *my* hervenn then he can come visit him here or in Mirkwood.” There was more then one eyebrow raised at the possessiveness that Legolas was showing but none that wished to question it at that time. Elrohir taking in the shocked silence stood up and pulled Legolas away from the now frightened elf saying, “If everyone would excuse us, this is a lot to take in at one time. We will just leave you four to discuss this among yourselves and we will go discuss it among ourselves.” With that he pulled Legolas from the room with his brother and Erestor not far behind.

As the four younger elves left the room Elrond stood up with his arms crossed and asked Thranduil, “I can not believe you still practice that barbaric ritual.”

“Barbaric. I would have you know that my bonded friend and I are still close friends and he is the fiercest protector I have,” replied Thranduil.

“That would explain how Erestor snapped that limb off,” Melannen said.

“What limb,” asked Elrond?

“One day when Legolas and you were in the garden I came across Erestor watching you two. I told him about the message being sent to Mirkwood on the betrothal, and he snapped a limb off a tree as if it were a twig,” replied Melannen.

“I have been worried about you, Elrond, since I learned of the betrothal,” laughing Thranduil. Looking over to the elf beside him, he added, “You are lucky you did not move, had you moved Erestor would not have taking kindly to it. I am surprised that Elrohir was able to touch Legolas in such a way. That shows me the bond is well in place, and since neither of us seems to object to this bonding, then I see no need to mess with it. All that is needed to be done is maybe a celebration to celebrate the bonding. What do you think, Elrond?”

“It is to be held the day after tomorrow,” replied Elrond glad that he was still ahead of the Mirkwood king.

~~~~~~~

Elladan and Elrohir watched with growing concern and amusement as they observed their hervenns pace back and forth across the chambers. Every once in a while one would make a comment to the effect of “how dare they” or “who do they think they are”, but for the most part the two just paced. Elladan, like his brother knew there was more going on here that they did not know and both wanted to know what that was. Getting up, he walked over to pull Erestor to a nearby chair as he asked, “What are you two not telling us?”

Erestor looked at his hervenn for a minute before looking to Legolas as he replied, “You have noticed that Legolas and I are close?”

“Yes, at times close if not closer than Elladan and I,” Elrohir said as he too moved to sit by his brother and hervenn.

“In Mirkwood there is a tradition that all members of the royal family are bonded to what is called a bonded friend. This happens within the first year of life to an elfling that was born as close to the birth of the prince or princess as possible. Erestor and myself were born on the same day and since his mother died in elf birth then it was decided that he would be my bonded friend,” Legolas informed them as he moved to sit in Elrohir’s lap.

“This was a way that I would be cared for since I had no family to see to my needs. As Legolas’ bonded friend I would receive the same lessons that he received. Plus, I would have added lessons to insure that I could protect Legolas with my life, if needed,” continued Erestor.

“As we grew, it was discovered that we were closer then normal. Many speculated on this and it was believed that since we were born on the same day that we were connected in some way. It was around the time that my Nana died that we were suppose to be separated to give us time to grow apart, but with her death, it was overlooked. You see, up until that time, we slept in the same bed, took the same lessons. The reason we have bonded friends is to insure that we are not alone and that someone is always there to play with us or to keep us company. It is at the time of awakening that bonded friends are supposed to be separated. For the first time we would have to sleep in separate beds and have separate lessons,” Legolas supplied.

“This is at the time I received my training as his protector, but with us still sharing the same bed and still doing almost everything together, we grew even closer. As our bodies began to awaken, we started to explore with each other. Never moving beyond touch, but enough to strengthen our bond. By the time it was discovered that we had not been separated, as we should have, it was too late. To separate us then would have meant one of our death’s if not both,” Erestor inform the twins.

“They did try, it was the worst year of my life. I could feel Erestor’s pain as he could feel mine. When it was noticed that we were fading from being separated, we were allowed to be together again, but we were informed that should we complete the bond it would mean Erestor’s death. You see there is a law in Mirkwood that forbids a member of the royal family from bonding beneath them. My Ada sent us here with the explicit command that we come back bonded to someone other then each other, as this is the only way a bonded friendship can be resolved,” Legolas finished.

“So this is all a sham?” inquired Elrohir.

“No! Not by any means. You and your brother were our first choice, as we both fancied you two,” Erestor said.

“But the two of you never showed any interest in us, so we assumed there was none,” finished Legolas.

“And the business with Glorfindel and our Ada?” asked Elladan.

“While with you two not an option, and only one of us needing to be bonded to break the bond, I volunteered to try with Glorfindel, but I just could not go through with it. I would rather face death than to be bonded to him,” Erestor explained.

“And when your Ada showed an interest in me. I thought that, since I could not have you, your Ada would not be so bad so I let him court me, but in the end I just could not give up on Erestor. I hoped that something would happen that Erestor and I could be together. When Erestor came to me with the idea that we could still have you two and with a plan to accomplish it, I dared to hope,” Legolas informed them.

“So, if it had become known that Erestor was a Prince first, would you still have gone through with the plan for my brother and I?” Elladan enquired.

“If we had known that you two desired us, then yes,” Erestor told them.

“That is all we need to know,” Elrohir said as he placed a gentle kiss to Legolas’ lips.

“And no matter what you decide about your family, Erestor, we will stand beside you,” Elladan added, as he too took Erestor’s lips.

“But for now I think we need to continue where we left off this morning,” Elrohir said as he led Legolas to their bed.

“Oh, I agree with that. How about you, my love?” Elladan asked as he held out his hand for Erestor.

“I think that is something I can handle,” Erestor replied as he took Elladan’s hand and let him lead him to the bed were they joined Elrohir and Legolas.

After the four of them quickly relieved each other of their clothing, Erestor laid Elladan on the bed and moved to straddle his waist saying, “I do believe I was here.”

Laughing, Elladan replied, “Yes, I do believe you were.”

Elrohir and Legolas looked at each other for a minute before Elrohir whispered that he had a plan. Smiling to himself as Elrohir whispered the plan to him. Legolas moved to take his place behind. Taking the pillow that Elrohir handed him he positioned it under Elladan causing him and Erestor to stop their masturbation of each other to look at their hervenns. Legolas paying no attention to them took the oil that Elrohir now offered after he had prepared himself. Pouring some into his hands he prepared Erestor, as he then prepared Elladan it was all he could do to not come right then and there as he watched Erestor lower himself down onto Elladan’s hard member. Positioning himself he slid into Elladan as he watched Elrohir take his place on top of Elladan to slide onto Erestor. It took a minute for the four to find a rhythm that worked but soon they were moving as one. As their bond locked into place once more, the four rode to completion, screaming as their orgasms were ripped from them as their faer became one again. Untangling themselves from each other, they snuggled up and soon fell into a relaxing rest.

Sometime during the day they received a message to make sure they all attended their bonding celebration the day after the next and to make sure that they were all dressed according.

As the day of the celebration came it was with great happiness that the elves of Imladris witnessed the four repeat the words that would officially bond them in the eyes of Elvish law.
It was with both great happiness and a heavy heart that the High priest of Latinornenomë watched the words spoken for he knew that his King may never see his youngest ion but was glad that the young prince had found love. He left for his beloved land the next week to inform his King of his ion. A week after that the four left to visit Mirkwood when King Thranduil’s court left. In the centuries that followed none doubted the love the four held for each other, and when the time came to sail west the four stood proudly on the deck of the ship, ready to face what ever challenges faced them in this new land.

THE END
