Estel or Aragorn

Daeran POV

I haven't left my room all day, I barely finished my breakfast this morning no matter how much Legolas begged me.

Estel was leaving today and I was depressed. I didn't want him to leave but there was nothing I could do.

Right now I was laying on my bed facing away from the door, facing the window. I heard the twins Elladan and Elohir come to my door a few times, but I didn't feel like talking to them. Legolas came by my room once and I almost thought about letting him in.

However I turned him down. It wasn't until Estel came to my room that I got up. I went over to my door to let him in. "Little one, I hear you have been ignoring most everyone that has come to your door, even Legolas."

I sort of felt bad then, I was being inconsiderate. All the people here had been nothing but caring to me and I had let them down and treated them badly in return. I could feel tears start to form in my eyes and I quickly moved away from Estel.

He was probably mad at me. Now the tears were falling and I couldn't stop them. Estel started to make his way to me but I just backed up. I rushed over to the bed and made my way under it.

I could hear Estel calling my name, but I ignored him. He was mad at me I knew it. "Little one, please come out i'm not mad at you I promise." Estel kneeled next to the bed, giving me a sad smile.

"You're not mad at me?" estel shook his head.

"Of course not, I could never be mad at you." I stayed under the bed for a few more minutes before I immerged.

Estel sat on the bed, so I went over and sat next to him. "I'm going to miss you." I told him, more tears forming in my eyes.

"I'm going to miss you to little one." he reached his arm around me and hugged me gently to him. I buried my face in his shirt wrapping my arms around his neck. He rubbed my back in a soothing gesture trying to comfort me.

I don't know how long we stayed like this, but after some time. Estel moved his arms from around me. He then brought one arm under my bum while the other came around my back. He then stood up with me in his arms.

I had never been held before, it was such a strange yet comforting feeling. He then made his way to my door and out my room. We made our way to the court yard where I saw a horse being saddled.

Estel's bags were lying nearby and I couldn't help but wrap my arms tighter around Estel's neck.

All too soon Estel made his way to the horse. I noticed Lord Elrond, Lady Galadriel, Gandalf, The twins and Legolas make their way over towards us. I felt Estel start to put me down, but I stubbornly held on tighter.

"Little one you have to let go" All I could do was give a small whimper in response.

"I promise to visit again, ok. You will see me again" Estel told me in a serious tone. Before I could say anything Legolas came over us. Estel very gently handed me to him.

I couldn't help but let out a small cry. Once I was safely in Legolas's arms Estel made his way to his horse and mounted.

"Legolas take care of him for me." I could feel the arms around me tighten.

"You know I will" Legolas said.

"Stay safe Estel" Lord Elrond said behind me. "Always ada, you take care of yourself too." Estel looked to the twins. "Brothers" was all he said. He gave a nod each to Lady Galadriel and Gandalf. Then finally he smiled at me.
