He went back to that place in his dreams where he felt safe.

He was sitting on the blanket when he looked up and saw Estel running toward him. He had never been so pleased that his one love was there.

At the moment Estel appeared, he saw Legolas on the blanket. He had come! He couldn't help himself so he ran to his lover's arms. He was safe. By the time he arrived, Legolas had risen from the blanket and embraced him.

"I didn't know what you were talking about when you told me about a 'field'. Then Haldir asked if it was a safe haven for us. Oh, I missed you so much." Legolas was planting beautiful kisses across Estel's face. Estel returned his affections.

Both of them lay down on the blanket, savoring the moment. Legolas had his head on Estel's chest, caressing it slowly. Estel hugged the elf to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

"Yes, Glorfindel told me to come here too." Estel took Legolas' hand and they cuddled on the blanket. "Here we can find peace and quiet. We can come here anytime to escape from the turmoil of the world. If we are sick or hurt, scared or lonely, this will be our place. I will seek you out if I know you are not well. That's goes for you, too. With this bonding that has been created between us, it will be here that we will find each other: this will be our sanctuary. Just like the first time we saw each other, when we were feeling lonely and empty. But there is one thing we can not do here."

"What's that, my love?" Legolas leaned up on his elbow and looked into his mate's eyes.

"We can never make love here. We can be in each other's arms like we are right now and must be fully clothed from now on. That first time was our pure love for one another. It must never happen again. This is a safe haven for us. This place will never change. It will always be green and beautiful. Like Lord Elrond's private gardens are when we were there last. I don't know where this place is but it will always be here for us. We can come here to talk and state our love for each other. Feel safe in each others arms."

With that said, Legolas understood. He laid his head back down on Estel's chest and fell asleep.

Haldir could feel the tension ease out of Legolas' body. "You're in your safe place now, my young warrior." He smoothed back a stray hair that had fallen across Legolas' face. He kissed the top of the young elf's head. Haldir felt a hug come from his sleeping bed mate and cuddled him back.

Haldir fell asleep when he heard the elf beside him breathe easy.
