aragorn, arrival, complete, day 9, legolas greenleaf

What: Aragorn's arrival
Where: The beach for starters
Rating: PG-13 for Naked Legolas and clearly a naked, drowned rat Aragorn!
Status:COMPLETE!

Despite the turn in events, Aragorn,had been successful in rallying the armies of Rohan and Gondor. In the back of his mind as he now sat atop his horse, Aragorn allowed his mind to wander back to the Elf, a man that the Ranger had began to think of as a friend. The sudden disappearance, was still a puzzle to Aragorn and Gilmi. Even the Dwarf was beginning to miss Legolas and their little friendly competitions in battle. Sighing he ran a hand through his hair. If the Elf had been taken or killed, then Aragorn vowed today he would get that revenge upon the enemy.

Soon he had to put that out of mind as he moved to the front of the great armies that were gathered and ready for battle.The plan was to distract Sauron so Frodo and Sam could get past the Black Gates and destroy the ring. Aragorn knew that this was truly the only way they could defeat the dark enemy. He had to focus, the rest he could deal with later.

It was time. It was time for Aragorn to adress the troops and to encourage them before the battle. He moved back and forth in front of them on horseback. His eyes were dark with focus and intent as he began his speech.

"Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!"

Just as he finished the last word, things began to change and quickly. Aragorn had no idea what was happening.Things began to fade to black,or began to fade into the background completely. He felt light headed, dizzy and out of sorts. First it was him and his horse,everything else was gone now. At first, Aragorn tried to fight the complete darkness that threatened to take him,but it was too strong so it soon was able to do as it intended.

Something wet...something cold and wet fell upon Aragorn as he slowly started to stir. It took him a long time to realize it was rain, and to also gather that he was some place he had no idea where it was. All this made him come to very quickly and focus. His hands were on something grainy, rough. His fingers ran through it. Sand....?

Aragorn was quickly on his feet and looking around. He began to panic. Where was he? Where were the armies? Did Sam and Frodo make it in to destroy the ring? Did they defeat the enemy? His head was swimming with so many questions and thoughts. he was beginning to feel light headed again.

Was this anything than harmless? Just two friends getting close so one could offer comfort to the other? Aragorn kept telling himself this was harmless. Nothing more than Legolas trying to help. That was all it was. So what if he enjoyed it a little? SO what if he wished that it could be more than what it was? Well only it was a small wish, deep down inside that Aragorn didn't even fully accept.

Aragorn was feeling better but not wanting this to end, he kept it to himself. He rested his chin on top of Legolas' head for one small moment. The joys of being taller than the Elf though barely just. Sighing in contnt, Aragorn moved them back toward the nearest piece of furniture, a small couch, making sure to still stay as close as possible to Legolas, still pretending to need and not want his warmth. Feeling his knees hitting th eback of the couch, Aragorn sat down bringing Legolas very close with him.

He chuckled softly, shaking his head at Legolas. This Riddick whoever he was, surely seemed to get under Legolas' skin and it amused Aragorn. Since the last person to do that was the Dwarf. "I believe my Elvin Prince, we should probably keep you away from this Riddick. "

Once more he laughed, knowing that while it seemed harsh, it was truly just a barb coming from Legolas and it made this a lot easier. Being taken away from it all. Still being concerned about those he left behind. They left behind. And the fact though his heart weeped for being taken from Arwen, he still couldn't bring himself to think too much about her. About the one he pledged himself to. All he could think about was the fact that somehow he had been reunited with Legolas. he wondered if there was a hidden purpose for this. For this planet to have taken him as well.

Before this moment, he would have thought it was anyone's guess if, in this very situation, Aragorn would have accepted his warmth, or pushed him away and stubbornly wanted to do it himself. The human was somewhat unpredictable. He was glad, though, for his own reasons, that Aragorn was accepting this. He didn't even let himself know just how glad he was.

It was nice, though, to have the human hold him, to feel him rest his chin on top of his head. A little too nice, and deep down, he knew it. But he didn't stop him or pull away, and it had nothing to do with comforting or warming the Ranger. Before he had much of a chance to think on this, he was being pulled over to the couch. When Aragorn sat, Legolas sat too... right in the human's lap. Appropriate? No. Fun? Definately. And for the elf, that was usually enough. He kept his arms around Aragorn's neck, holding on to him.

"Riddick had best keep himself away from me..."

But there was no real venom in his tone, because he was simply too light-hearted to take anything seriously, even a rivalry/enmity with Riddick. It was similar, in a way, to what he'd been through with the dwarf. That had ended alright, but then, Gimli was basically a decent being. Riddick, he rather thought, was a different story, and he somehow doubted he would become friends with the bald man in the same way he had with Gimli.

But it wasn't really important, he realized. Riddick was barely a blip on his horizon at this point. All that mattered was Aragorn, this link to his past, who was now all he had of the future. With a soft sigh, the elf seemed almost serious as he suddenly shifted and rested his head on the human's shoulder. Allowed or not, it was just so good to have him here. And he figured if the human objected, he could always push him away.

"There is much I would show you, Elessar. Many wonders exist in this strange land. Many I have seen, but surely, many are yet to be discovered. Will you share this with me?"

He wondered, even as he spoke, if he was actually begging the human. Surely not... but there was a slight desparation in his mind to keep Aragorn with him. He didn't let it into his voice, though. Idly, he wondered if Aragorn could ever truly be happy here, in a world that was so peaceful.

It took him quite a long time to realize what had just happened. He hadn't realized when he sat, pulling Legolas with him that he had pulled the Elf into his lap. Funny how even when it did hit him, he was not in a hurry to make an amends. He found no need to. His mind immediately began to think about what this meant. Why he was allowing this to happen? Why he wasn't pulling away.? Why he wasn't making Legolas leave his resting place in his lap?

More importantly he was wondering why it was he was holding Legolas tighter, pulling him closer, while still trying to keep the blanket wrapped around them. Even as he felt a small amount of sweat rolling down his shoulders more from pure effort to not move and shift the naked Elf too much on his lap, not from the heat.

Despite the impish side of Legolas, the Elf had proven himself many times to be valuable to Aragorn and his friendship was something Aragorn cherished. He just wondered now if it had somehow managed to blossom into something more without him knowing it? It would explain so much.

It was as Legolas sifted, placing his head on Aragorn's shoulder that he came from his thoughts and tilted his head downward to look at Legolas. He placed a soft kiss to the top of the Elf's head hoping to pass it off as nothing more than comfort. He sighed softly and wondered how his answer would sound to the softly spoken question that held so much within it that it almost overwhelmed Aragorn with how it made him feel.

He knew this would take some getting used to. Being in a peaceful place when it was not something he was used to by any means. But he had two choices. One was to be miserable which would make things hell for him and any one around him. Or two , he could accept what ever it was that brought him here with Legolas and thank whatever it was silently every day. Perhaps... No. These were dangerous thoughts for sure.

"Of course I will, my Elvin Prince." He paused and looked away at something not seen nor truly there on the wall. " There is nothing else I would rather do."
