“Legolas?” What did you just say?” Thranduil thought he was dreaming when his swirling mind had processed the true meaning of the bitter-sweet confession his beloved son had whispered in a hoarse voice filled with passion and longing – panted breathlessly with lust-darkened eyes whilst he was fingered deeply only seconds ago.
Aye .. a dream .. nothing more … nothing real
Dreaming – floating in a moonlit sky – kept in a never-ending fairytale of love and obsession, a realm of fantasy he was wandering together with the love of his life, a love he had thought long forgotten flourished in the soft rays of the morning.
Legolas - Did … you… just say .. you .. love … me? Why did you say it? Did you mean it? Am I dreaming my child? When? How? Why? Valar, I do not understand it, do not believe it?
No! It cannot be, it can’t be the truth you have spoken
Thranduil was certain that Legolas’ confession must have been a sinful illusion his desire had played on his expenses, an invisible ghost wandering his troubled mind - the mere thought that his own son could love him in THAT way was beyond belief. In a low voice, almost shy, and with sparkling, curious sapphire eyes Mirkwood’s King questioned his beloved child which he held in his arms – never again did he want to let go of Legolas by any means “Did … Did you mean it, Legolas?” but his words were lost in the noisy rustle his son created, fighting against the tight embrace in which the young elf was still kept, struggling against his father’s body – finally jumping out of the spacious bed into the bright morning light with flowing silken locks.
“Legolas! Man cerig?” Thranduil’s voice was now questioning and sorrowful, as he was torn out of his wake dreams, the shimmering bubble in which he was caught only minutes ago did burst in an instant – gone, never to return again.
Gods! Valar! Thranduil sent silent prayers to the gods, gathering the blissful truth for the first time after the aftermath of passion. Valar! Nay!
Great despair rose once more deep in his heart and soul as Thranduil never wanted to let go of this heated moment of love and affection they had shared together – father and son in a Morgoth-may-care attitude. Legolas’ father wanted nothing more than to hold onto the subtle strings of love, lasting for the eternity of an immortal life. But Legolas was young, ages too young to be capable to understand what was happening between them – millennia too young to deal with the subtle signs of an illicit love – his mind innocent and unspoiled, nearly still the little spoiled elfling. Valar forbid!How should he be able to manage his turmoil, to handle his emotions?
