Haldir
nodded. “I have longed so to hold you
once more.”
“It saddens me that we must love in
secret.” Rúmil’s eyes looked sad. “If we were not brothers, our love would be
accepted. Is all love not sacred?”
“Of course it is, but the others will not
understand. We must be silent as the
grave about our affections.”
Gently Haldir
kissed Rúmil ’s cheek. “But do not despair, My Brother, for we know of the love
we share and its beauty.”
The younger
Elf embraced his brother, before he kissed Haldir’s tender lips.
Haldir lead
his youngest brother to the room in which an exquisite Elven bed lay. Haldir again kissed Rúmil and smiled. His youngest brother seemed nervous.
“We are safe here. No one ever comes here.”
Rúmil smiled
and returned the kiss. Haldir parted
after a while and began to undress.
Rúmil did the same, letting his Galadhrim robes fall to the floor. Haldir looked at his brother’s slender
skyclad body. He walked toward him and
placed his hands around his brother’s waist and kissed him again. Rúmil
embraced his brother, his hands on Haldir’s bare back. Together, they walked toward the bed, still
kissing. Haldir laid Rúmil down, and
gently parted, kissing his neck and shoulders whilst holding him in his arms.
Rúmil laid back and sighed inwardly at his brother’s sensual touch. The younger Galadhrim’s hands began to
explore, softly caressing Haldir’s back.
Haldir placed his head back and sighed, starting to caress Rúmil’s
chest. The other sighed inwardly and
smiled. He’d longed for his brother’s
gentle touch.
“I love you,” he whispered. “In more ways than one…”
“And I you, My Dear Brother.”
Haldir felt
somewhat guilty at not including Orophin, his oldest brother, but Orophin was
strict and Haldir surmised he would be disgusted if he knew about he and
Rúmil’s affections. Haldir caressed
Rúmil’s slender thighs and Rúmil gently began to scratch Haldir’s back. The other Galadhrim sat up and turned
Haldir around, Haldir content to be underneath. He loved the feeling of Rúmil’s
long hair caressing his chest. He
combed his hands through it and his brother smiled. It was a joy to see Rúmil smile.
Gently he caressed Haldir’s head and kissed his lips and massaged his
back, the kiss becoming more and more passionate, Haldir responding in kind.
Haldir flipped Rúmil around, their lips still locked together they parted and
held one and other. Haldir and began to
caress Rúmil’s soft stomach, his hands lightly touching the other Elf’s blonde
patch below. Rúmil shivered slightly.
Haldir lay next to him and Rúmil massaged his brother’s chest and
stomach and his light velvet patch.
Haldir smiled and closed his eyes.
He too had missed his brother’s touch.
Orophin looked
for his brothers. He sensed them in the
old stone building and went to investigate.
He sensed happiness and smiled.
He loved to sense that, particularly from his brothers, but he was
unprepared for what he was about to see.
He looked into the room and stared, shocked. He saw his brothers lying
naked, next to each other and kissing.
He stared, his mouth open.
Not long
after, he heard voices, and saw Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel coming. He rushed to them.
“My Lord, My Lady, have you seen the
Narcissus? They are in bloom early this
year.”
Orophin
thanked the Valar for this as he lead Celeborn and Galadriel to the yellow
flowers.
Haldir and
Rúmil returned to Rúmil’s Talan to find Orophin sitting on his bed.
Their older
brother took a breath.
“I have a grave matter to discuss with both
of you.”
Haldir almost
swallowed. Rúmil did. He could not know, surely.
“Today I went to find you and I did … At
first I was shocked at what I saw.”
Silence
followed. Rúmil was about to speak, but Orophin silenced him.
“At first …” Orophin said, “but seeing you
hold each other, you truly love one and other this way, do you not?”
“Aye,” Rúmil said after a pause.
“You are fortunate I found you and lead Lord
Celeborn and Lady Galadriel away.”
Haldir’s eyes
widened.
“Aye, my brother,” Orophin said. “I would not like to think our gentle Lord
would have banished you both from Lórien, but I was not sure.”
“Thank you, My Brother,” Haldir said.
Rúmil nodded.
“Why have you not told me of this?”
“We did not think you would understand,”
Rúmil said. “We thought you may have …”
“I may have what?”
“Disowned us …” Rúmil finished.
Orophin looked
even more shocked. “I would *never*
have done such a thing. You are my
*brothers*. How could you think so
little of me. Why are my own brothers
so afraid of me?”
Orophin was
close to tears. Rúmil knelt down and took
his hand. “We are sorry, Orophin, truly
sorry that we have hurt you.”
“Aye,” Haldir said.
“You are forgiven,” Orophin said.
Haldir and
Rúmil embraced their brother.
“I am still hurt however that you have not
included me. Am I not your brother? Do you not love me?”
“Of course we do,” Rúmil said. “Again we did not believe you would have
understood our feelings, but now we know better.”
“Yes,” Haldir said. “In truth Rúmil fancied you before me.”
Rúmil smiled
and nodded. “Aye, it was one day we
were out hunting for food. You had
eaten half a cooked coney and you stood, topless, as some of our clothes were
drying in the sun and then and there I wanted to have you.”
“You have me now,” Orophin said with a
smile. Gently he kissed Rúmil, still
feeling a little uncomfortable with the whole thing. “We will not be disturbed in my talan,” he said.
Orophin, naked
now had never felt more uncomfortable in his life, except once when he was
captured by Orcs, and stripped naked. Fortunately his brothers had rescued him
before he was tortured, but now he was not being tortured, he was being loved.
“Do not be afraid,” Rúmil said softly.
His youngest
brother’s confidence surprised him.
Rúmil began to
caress him as he took his oldest brother to the bed where Haldir lay. It was big enough for all three of them to
fit comfortably. Orophin managed a
smile and le lay down.
“I … I am mot used to this …” he said.
Haldir and
Rúmil smiled warmly. Haldir took
Orophin’s hand, drew him toward himself and kissed him gently, running hid
hands through his brother’s long hair. Rúmil, behind him caressed his back and
Haldir his front.
Orophin
shivered. “Forgive me…” he said close
to tears.
“There is nothing to forgive, Orophin,”
Rúmil said gently. “Let the moment take
you, do not trouble yourself whether you are ‘doing it correctly’ there is no
right or wrong. You are doing
perfectly.”
Orophin
smiled. “Thank you.” His youngest brother’s wisdom and knowledge
surprised him.
He turned
around and kissed him, running his hands through Rúmil’s long golden hair,
while Haldir stroked Orophin’s’
head. The oldest Galadhrim smiled. “I can see why this is so pleasurable.” He held his youngest brother in his
arms. He turned and held Haldir. The three Galadhrim smiled as they held one
and other in a gentle, loving embrace.
Celeborn came
to Orophin the morning after.
“You do not have to hide it for me,” he
said. “I have been aware if your
brother’s intimacy for some time now. I
have sensed it.”
Orophin became
afraid. Celeborn placed his hand on his
shoulder.
“There is nothing to fear, Orophin. I know of your love as well.”
“But is it not against Elven laws to-“
“Only f the other party is unwilling,” the
Lord of Lórien said, “the old laws say.”
Orophin smiled. “I’m sorry if I deceived you, My Lord, it
was only to protect my brothers. If you
desire to punish me then I will accept it.”
“Indeed and I will not punish you for
protecting those you love. I am glad
you have found love yourself. Love is
sacred, to be shared, not shunned.”
“Thank you, My Lord.”
Orophin smiled
and left to tell his brothers they did not have to fear anymore, as their love
was sacred.
