Alvina walked into Elrohir's chamber and was surprised when Elrohir wasn't in his bed but on the balcony instead and alone. Alvina walked up to him but knew he had already heard her so she waited till he said something. "I thought you wouldn't come today." He said looking up to face Alvina. "I am sorry, I was busy." Alvina replied. "Do not apologize, you are not ordered to come every day." Elrohir smiled. "That I am not, no." Alvina mirrored the smile. "How are you feeling today? Out of bed and without Elladan or Lord Elrond?" Elrohir chuckled "Yes I ordered them to leave me alone for a while."

"You want me to leave?" Alvina asked. "No, actually it was you I needed to talk to…" Elrohir gestured for Alvina to sit down. When Alvina sat down he took a deep breath. "What I need to tell you is very hard. I do not even know where to begin." Alvina stayed quiet. Elrohir stood up and paced around for a while then he took another deep breath. "I am in love with you. I know you just love me as your brother but I couldn't keep this from you any longer." He sat down again. Alvina was shocked, she couldn't believe he was in love with her…and that meant… "Your heart broke because of me?" She gasped. Elrohir nodded "Aye." Alvina shook her head and she stared at her hands. Elrohir got up and walked over to her and hugged her. "I know you do not like the fact that my heart can break because of you but if you do not reject my love and just let me love you, my heart will not break anymore." He said softly. "How would you know? What if I die?" Elrohir sighed. "Then I have learned how to live without your love." Alvina looked at him. "And what if I love you?

"If I have your love and you die?" Alvina nodded. "Then I do not know what will happen." He sighed again. Alvina got up. "I am sorry; I need to think for a while." Elrohir nodded and Alvina walked off.

Elrohir looked at the door startled for the fact that Alvina had said that she might love him too…

When Alvina left Elrohir's camber she started to run not caring where her legs would take her. When she stopped she stood in front of the door of Counsellor Erestor's chamber. She did not know why she was here but somehow she was glad. She knocked on the door hoping he would be there and when the door opened she let out the breath she did not know she was holding. "Alvina? What's wrong?" Erestor asked confused. "I wish to talk to someone but if you are busy…" Alvina started to turn around. "No, it is okay." Said Erestor. "Please come in." Both of them walked in and sat down. "What is wrong?" He asked concerned when Alvina didn't say anything. ""Elrohir…" She only said. Erestor kneeled down in front of her making her look into his eyes. When Alvina finally looked into his eyes he started to speak. "Please listen to me. I know both of you are in love with each other. It is very obvious. If I were you I should tell him you love him because it will do him good. He will not die if you die then as long as you do not bind yourself to him. Though I have heard that even though an Elf will bind himself or herself to a mortal they'll survive with the love they receive from their family. I have faith that Elrohir will survive though I do not encourage you to bind yourself to him so soon. Just tell him you love him and he'll survive."

"And if I don't?" Alvina asked. "Then he'll either die of a broken heart or he'll become like me…" Alvina looked confused. "Like you?" Erestor nodded. "I do not understand?"

"A long time ago I was in love with a mortal myself. She did not return my love and married another person. I never told her I love her so I got over the fact that she didn't love me back by only turning as cold as I am today." Erestor sighed. "Please understand that I do not want Elrohir to end up like me…" Alvina nodded. "Though you are not as cold as you say you are." She said with a smile and Erestor smiled to. "Thank you, little one." He said hugging her.

A week later and Alvina hasn't been to Elrohir ever since. Elrohir was getting better even though he didn't see Alvina. Nessa and Legolas were worried about Alvina for they, or actually no one, haven't seen Alvina for over a week. But they all knew that Alvina was in Imladris for they knew she will not go outside without anyone and since only Alvina was missing they knew she was in Imladris, somewhere.

Legolas and Nessa were once again looking for Alvina. "Where can she be?" Nessa asked worried. "I do not know, love." Legolas answered and he hugged her.

Elrohir was walking around the garden wondering where Alvina was. He heard soft footsteps behind him and knew it could not be an Elf for the steps were too heavy he turned around and saw Alvina standing in front of him. He let out the breath he did not know he was holding when he saw her smiling. "I wish to apologize for my behaviour this last week. I just needed time to think things through." Alvina said.

"Apology accepted." Elrohir replied. He signalled for her to sit down she sat down and looked a bit uncomfortable. Then she stood back up and paced around.

"I've did a lot of thinking, about what you said to me that day and I wanted to tell you that I…L-love you." She stuttered and stopped pacing. Elrohir got up and searched her eyes. "You love me?" He replied not knowing if he heard her right. Alvina nodded. Elrohir smiled and hugged her. She hugged him back. Elrohir placed his lips on hers for the first time but she pulled back.

"I do not know what to do." She said, shyly. Elrohir smiled at her. "Then let me show you." And they kissed.

Everyone was seated at the dining table except for Erestor and Alvina. Everyone was talking about all kinds of things when Erestor and Alvina walked in hand in hand. Alvina was feeling a bit nervous so she had grabbed Erestor's hand and he gave her an encouraging squeeze. When they entered Legolas, Nessa and Elladan got up and hugged Alvina and overwhelming her with questions. After a few minutes they allowed Alvina and Erestor to sit down. Alvina sat next to Glorfindel and opposite Elrohir. Next to Alvina was Erestor. On the other side of Elrohir where Legolas and Nessa and at the head of the table sat Lord Elrond.

Once dinner was done, as it was already that late, everyone went to the Hall of Fire to hear some songs and tails. Alvina had dragged Erestor with her. Lindir began with his tale and everyone listened. When he was done some applauded and some cheered.

Elrohir stood up and after he got everyone's attention he spoke up. "I wish to sing." He said with a smile. "And I dedicate this song to someone special." He looked at Alvina and she looked a bit stunned but happy. He cleared his throat and began to sing.

You Treat Me Like A Rose
You Give Me Room To Grow
You Shone The Light Of Love On Me
And Gave Me Air So I Can Breathe
You Open Doors That Close
In A World Where Anything Goes
You Give Me Strength So I Stand Tall
Just Like A Rose

Once he was done with this verse he stopped, never leaving Alvina's eyes. She was still smiling and stood up once Elrohir ended. They slowly walked up to each other and once they reached each other they kissed.

Nessa and Legolas stared at them in awe for both of them believed Alvina had found love in Erestor but this proved them wrong and they smiled at seeing their friends kiss. Nessa looked at Legolas who still tears in her eyes for she found the song very beautiful, Legolas looked at Nessa and kissed her seeing the hint in her eyes.

As the night went on Legolas and Nessa went to approach Alvina. "Vina? Can we have a word with you?" Legolas asked Alvina and she nodded. They walked over to the balcony. "Vina, I got a message from my father, he wants me to come home. Now I asked Nessa if she wanted to come with me and she said yes, I hoped you'll come with me as well." Alvina's face paled. "We understand if you do not want to go back to that place." Legolas said reassuring her. Alvina shook her head.

"I dare not go there. Not yet that is." Legolas nodded. "I understand." And he hugged her.

"I'll look after her." Said Elrohir who had overheard their conversation. Legolas looked at him. "I am sure you will, mellon-nîn" He and Elrohir smiled at each other. Nessa hugged Alvina. "I'll miss you." She said. Alvina returned the hug. "And I you." She replied.

All of them spent that night together with Elladan too. But the morning approached and it was time to say bye to Legolas and Nessa. Each gave a hug to their friends and then mourned their horses and took off.
