    Summary

    ''We are proud, the men of Minas Tirith,' said Boromir. 'Doubtless you know that already. Or if you do not, you will come to soon enough. Is it not a king's duty to know his people, and to understand them, and to love them for what they are? I can only hope that I am worthy of your rule, though you have not yet come into your crown. I hope that you will recognise my pride, and what it takes for me to cast it aside thus.''

    Tormented and caught between temptations on Amon Hen, Boromir seeks out Aragorn. They talk.

    Summary

    When the nights are cold, it only makes sense to share body heat to stay warm, right? And if you happen to fall for the person you’re sleeping with – sleeping next to! – that would be perfectly normal and fine. Right? Aragorn is about to find out.

    Summary

    It is the first time the Four Hunters have had mattresses and sheets and blankets since Lórien, and even longer since they had such a thing of Man-make - threadbare enough for one such as Boromir to feel at home.

    Evidently, he does feel at home. When Aragorn comes to their room, in the middle of putting his pipe out, he finds Boromir collapsed face-down onto the bed with all his clothes on. He hasn’t even bothered to remove his boots.

    ~~~

    The manner in which Boromir sleeps prioritizes, above all else, convenience.

    Summary

    This newly discovered facet of their relationship has left both of them wrong-footed. Learning where lines are drawn and hearts overlap. It steals the breath from Aragorn’s lungs.
    Please,” says Boromir, drawing closer. A whisper, really. Gentle and coaxing against the flushed shell of Aragorn’s ear. “You have not slept in several days, won’t you let me give you this?”

    A stolen moment between a would-be Steward and King.
