Wishes

He stared out at the green trees, dense and thick, protecting the stone-hewn fortress he sat in. He knew that, even with the encroaching shadow at the edges, it was safe here and would always be, though the journey home would be perilous. He grinned, it was tempting to just stay - he'd waited so long for this.

The door opened and he heard soft footsteps come up behind him. Gentle
arms slipped around his waist and he sighed happily, leaning back.

"What are you thinking about?" A voice whispered softly in his ear.

"I was just wishing I could stay here, even though it is impossible," he replied.

His lover laughed. "You said that about us once, yet here we are! All things are possible, but often it takes time."

He grinned, "Aye, you are right! I can wait, though I do have another wish."

Green eyes sparked in amusement at this. "Oh? And what would that be?"

"That we make many memories to last us until that day comes."

Thranduil laughed, scooping Rúmil into his arms and carrying him to the bed.

"Now that, my love, is a wish I can grant right now!"

The End.
