gil galad’s last words (via elrondfucker69)

I am here | longwisdomforbidsme

Whenever Erestor was forced to leave Gil-Galad, he felt despair and worry. His duties and work kept him away and there was no way around it, but the counselor felt incredible guilt whenever he dared to leave his husband’s side. His husband who saw nothing but the pitch black depths of the lightless world, who needed him now more than ever.

Erestor considered telling his lord, that the time had come to retire, at least temporarily. He’d rather stay with Gil-Galad so that he won’t feel so alone and forsaken all by himself in this dark place of his. But he wasn’t certain if his love wanted this, if perhaps Erestor mothering him only made things worse. Feeling vulnerable was difficult and Gil-Galad had been a strong warrior, a respected High King and even today the elves sing of his tale and his songs.

Accepting the divine invitation of the opened arms, he rested his head against Gil-Galad’s chest and curled his arms around him. So strong, so unrelenting, as if someone had hewn this elf out of the finest marble. Yet he was so fragile and so very hurt, feeling betrayed by cruel fate which had robbed his eyesight and Erestor only wished to mend this and make him feel better. Burying his face in the fabric of Gil’s clothes he gave a content hum, listening closely to Gil’s even heart beat.

"I have been thinking." he began, looking up into the fair face and resting his chin against the High King’s pectorals. "But first let us sit." Gently the counselor lead the other to the closest cushioned seat, settling with Gil’s hands warm in his. "About my position in Elrond’s house. I wish to be with you, I don’t want to leave you all by yourself day after day. I should stop working for Elrond."

As soon as he felt the other near him his hands were draped around him protectively and an affectionate, warm kiss was pressed in Erestor's hair. It felt so wonderfully comforting to have his husband's warmth against him. 

At Erestor's comment Gil-Galad listened to his words curiously, waiting for him to continue patiently in silence and as guided, he carefully moved to sit down, trusting his beloved. The utter trust came easy when Erestor was around, whether in this state or not; Erestor had achieved it quickly once the High King had found his heart stolen by this particular elf. 

He smiled softly as the other then settled beside him and held his hand. It made him wonder did Erestor actually feel how relieved his touch made him. 

"No", he said then, baffled, after a moment of ponder about the younger one's words. "No, that is ridiculous, Erestor. Elrond needs you. He is, in fact lucky to have you work for him!" Gil-Galad gave a slight dry laughter. "Do not worry about me, my love. I am fine. I have got a lot to do, too... Let us just continue as if nothing had ever happened, shall we?"

  A chuckle escaped him before he returned the kiss, letting his lips gently press against the other’s for a moment before he pulled away and entwined their fingers, giving a light tug. “Come along. Gil-Galad. No need to linger here now.”

Gil-galad gave a soft hum as a reply and followed the other outside, where they would take the path to the gardens. "What have you been up to, then?" the Noldo asked after a moment of comfortable silence and squeezed the Sinda's hand.

He got up with a quiet groan and took the hand offered, if only to pull Oropher closer with a smile. “Yes, my king… But I need one thing first”, Gil-galad hummed softly, leaning closer to the Sinda’s fair face. His other hand moved to give Oropher’s hair a single stroke before settling at the crook of his neck.

He made a light noise of disapproval when he was pulled closer, wrinkling his nose a tiny bit before glancing at Gil-Galad’s face, lips twitching up for a second. “Is that so, Gil-Galad?” he questioned softly as he felt the hand resting to his neck. “Whatever might you need?” continued the old King, lips curving upward even more in a somewhat teasing way as he peered at the other’s face.

"I think you know exactly what", Gil-galad replied, chuckling. His fingers tickled the other one's skin softly while moving up to his jaw, a thumb caressing his cheek with a few brief strokes. And only then the dark haired one pressed a gentle kiss on Oropher's lips with a very content smile on his own.

"Most certainly a thing we must avoid at all cost, is it not so, Gil-Galad?" he spoke with a light chuckle before turning his head to look at the other, dipping it down in a nod. "Then a stroll through the garden it shall be." he stated, closing his eyes halfly before letting his lips curve up at the mention of steak. "Steak for tea? If you so wish. I do not mind this at all." he spoke, rising up and holding out his hand for the other to take. "Will you accompany me, o’ High King?"

He got up with a quiet groan and took the hand offered, if only to pull Oropher closer with a smile. “Yes, my king... But I need one thing first”, Gil-galad hummed softly, leaning closer to the Sinda's fair face. His other hand moved to give Oropher's hair a single stroke before settling at the crook of his neck.

"You should deem me mad would that happen", Gil-galad agreed and gave a small laugh. For a moment, he simply let his calm gaze hover over Oropher’s features, admiring them in the brief silence, his smile widening. "I am glad that you awoke me. Otherwise I would have dozed on and perhaps woke up only after tea."

His lips twitched up in a grin, turning his head away to cough into his fist before peering back at the other. “Yes, indeed. You would have dozed on, and missed my presence. For I would like to have your company for a stroll through the garden, and perhaps afterward we can both enjoy some tea.” he offered, lightly raising an eyebrow.

"And I would have regretted it and never slept again just in case you might drop by to see me", Gil-galad added, snickering. A stroll in the garden would have perhaps sounded tedious to the Noldo otherwise but in the company of this Sinda in particular everything seemed like worth his time. "Sounds good... We will be having steak for tea, I hope you fancy that."
