Summary
What they hadn’t told anyone was that, while Gimli slept, while they were alone, sleeping underneath the stars, underneath the moon, all celestial bodies as witnesses, they had been together. They had been everything, crossing rivers and chasing sunlight, they had been. It was history, marked forever in the marrow of Aragorn’s bones, they way Legolas’ body could shine in pleasure, soft skin over hard planes, hair a silver waterfall showering Aragorn with everything he thought impossible between them. Because he had a bride, promised himself all too long ago.
What he hadn’t told anyone, even Legolas, was that he fought it tooth and nail, inside himself, not to let that feeling take his whole heart. Something had to be saved for Arwen, whatever small of a piece that was. Because they were to be married, and she deserved better than falsehood. Because he convinced himself that the fluttering inside his chest he felt every time he looked at the elf was due to loneliness, and just that.
He had been lying to himself, and he knew it. He did.
He just hadn’t told who needed to hear it.
