Author: Zhie

Summary: An unexpected parting of ways.
Notes: Bunniverse compatible
“I know how much it has been bothering you and how we agreed we should never lie to one another. I want you to be happy – you deserve to be happy, and it hurts me to know I am hurting you.”
Glorfindel remained silent. The conversation had been very heavily one-sided for the most part. Erestor had done almost all of the talking, while questions, few and infrequent, had come from Glorfindel. Each answer numbed him further. He now sat and just listened, far too dazed to respond.
“I guess I never thought he was going to come back. I mean... everything he did, everything he said. I thought he was going to remain there forever.” Erestor moved around a lot, his tone uneasy and apologetic. “Once we talked about him, I just kept thinking about him... I tried not to. I never... I never expected him to return.”
“Are you choosing him over me?”
Erestor bit his lip. “I hate making these decisions.”
“You have to decide.” Glorfindel’s stomach knotted up until it was completely twisted. “Maybe if I was younger I might suggest something a little less conventional, but I am not as open-minded as Haldir or Legolas or Elodien are. Perhaps that seems horrible on my part, but look at it from my point of view. If I had to share you... well, I cannot do that. It is either me, or him.”
Erestor bowed his head.
“That is what I thought.” Glorfindel stood and swayed slightly. He approached Erestor slowly. “Well... it has been a pleasure, as they say.” He held out his hand.
Erestor looked at the proffered hand with remorse. “Need it end this way?” he asked as he stretched his arm and placed his hand upon Glorfindel’s shoulder.
Glorfindel set his other hand firmly upon Erestor’s chest, pushing him slightly back so that the contact was broken. “If it is to end, then yes, I think this is how it must go.” He swallowed hard and shook Erestor’s hand as it slipped into his. “Take whatever you need. I am sure you plan to go and live with him now.” Glorfindel somehow managed to keep his strength and stay his emotions as Erestor began to walk away.
The dark elf turned at the door. “I suppose you shall never wish to see me again,” he murmured.
The warrior forced a smile. “We were friends before we were lovers; there is no rule that we must give up friendship, too.”
Erestor began to open his mouth, but he sighed and nodded before finally leaving.
