Chapter Text
If there was anything that Legolas loved more than he loved his plush animals were real animals. And while he did have a very lovely kitten that he loved dearly there was one thing that he had wanted since his childhood and never gotten. And that was a puppy!
Ever since he had been able to write his letters to Santa Clause himself, he had written ‘Puppy’ on there, he had even drawn a little dog behind the word, who resembled more an…an animal that didn’t exist just yet, but it had always been the same wish. A cute, fluffy puppy. Preferably one that was athletic but also cuddly and all that.
Smaug was very cuddly with Legolas as well as with Thranduil, but the cat was also very independent and stoic and sometimes loved to be a little annoying. And somehow having a dog was still one of Legolas’ dreams, a dream that he wanted to become true desperately.
But sadly that seemed to be the one wish Thranduil refused to fulfill him. The man hated dogs and not in the way he had hated cats before they had adopted Smaug, but in a way that made Legolas hope of ever getting a puppy die slowly and painfully.
And since he didn’t get a dog like he wanted to, he watched other people get dogs…on YouTube.
“How was it at Aragorn’s?” Thranduil mumbled sleepily, as soon as Legolas entered their shared apartment, after spending the entire morning with his best friend since they hadn’t done much together recently- Legolas was simply too occupied with…’working’. Truth to be told he wasn’t working at all. Except if giving his boyfriend blowjobs under the table or allowing Thranduil to fuck him against the big windows counted as working…
“It was fun but I’m glad to be home again.” He threw his shoes into a corner and his backpack followed soon after. “I’ll change into something comfy, can we cuddle afterwards?” Legolas asked sweetly and saw how his boyfriend’s tired face lightened up.
“Sure love, where do you want to cuddle?”
“On the couch? There I can cuddle myself close to you and you can’t escape me.” The younger one joked, before he left the room to find something comfortable in their shared closet. It slowly became stuffed in there since Thranduil owned tons of expensive suits, shirts and shoes and strangely enough Legolas had the feeling that new skinny jeans, tight shirts and cuddly sleeping shorts found their way into his own things that were in his size. And every time he wore those new things a hot make out session would follow.
But today he really just wanted to cuddle for a while and maybe take a nap, so he chose cute pink sleeping shorts and a loose white top and cute socks. His hair was already up in a ponytail, so it wouldn’t annoy him later on. With that outfit he left their shared closet, kissed Smaug on the head who was laying on the big bed in their bedroom, before he almost ran downstairs and threw himself on the couch, right where his boyfriend was laying with an iPhone in his hand.
“Watcha looking at?” Legolas asked, ignoring the painful groan that came from the body he had just thrown himself onto.
“Are you trying to kill me?!” Thranduil asked breathless, but that only caused the younger one to giggle.
“Maybe…” He joked, but pressed a soft kiss on his lover’s cheek before he repeated his question. “So watcha looking at?”
“That’s a surprise.” The businessman answered with a wink, not sounding like his lungs got pressed together anymore.
“Is it a surprise for me?” Excitement spread through the smaller one, who loved to get presents.
“Of course it’s for you love. I can’t resist but make you presents as often as possible.” A soft smile played around the corners of his uncle’s mouth and Legolas felt how his own heart fluttered a little.
“What will it be? Can you tell me? Pretty please?” He asked curiously and tried to glance at the screen but his lover simply laughed and moved the phone out of his sight.
“Not a chance! It’s a surprise after all.” The man grinned and caused his nephew to pout.
“Pretty, pretty please?” Legolas said with a small pout that usually worked but not this time apparently.
“No, I won’t say a word.” Thranduil pressed a soft kiss on the tip of the younger ones nose, who wrinkled it at the tickling sensation.
“You look like a little bunny, maybe I should get you cat or bunny ears…I bet you would look adorable with it.” His uncle mumbled softly and a gentle hands caressed the younger one’s bright hair.
“If I would wear such things I would have to run from you!” Legolas snorted but grinned as well.
“Why is that?” The older blonde asked with a raised eyebrow, but he probably knew the answer very well.
“Because you’re a horny pervert that can’t keep his hands off of me.” The youth answered cheekily, which caused his uncle to laugh carefree.
“You might have a point there.” His lover mumbled, while the hand that had petted his hand suddenly slid down his spine just to reach his ass and squeeze the soft flesh slightly.
A gasp left his pink lips and he threw his boyfriend a fake scandalized look. “I can’t believe you uncle! Should you do this to your innocent little nephew that just wanted to cuddle? Not to mention that I’m many years younger…” He looked at his uncle sheepishly and gave his voice a very childish tone that made him appear even younger, even though he still looked like he was barely 18.
“You shouldn’t be surprised, I’m a horny pervert after all.” Was the mumbled answer from Thranduil, but the hand wandered a little higher and an arm slung around the smaller one’s thin waist while soft fingers started to draw small circles on his naked skin, caused by the loose top that had slipped up a little.
“Yes you are, luckily I’m attracted to that kind of character…as well as to family members as long as they look as good as you.” It had taken them some time to be able to joke about their incestuous relationship like this but eventually it became easier and now they teased each other with it often in moments like these.
“So you’re attracted to my father as well? And you’ve been attracted to your own father? My, my you are a very naughty boy…” Thranduil smirked and a slight flush appeared on Legolas’ cheeks at the chosen words. ‘Naughty boy’, that caused memories of the very delightful spanking he had gotten just a few days ago…his bum had stung for a little while which only caused him to get horny more often than usually.
“I’m not attracted to your dad and neither was I to my own even though I’ve very young at that time…So I guess it just simply has to be you.” He giggled while a soft blush appeared on his cheeks.
“I’m glad to hear that. I didn’t think you would be attracted to my father anyways. But Elu on the other hand…” His voice drifted off, but the smile on his face didn’t vanish. After Thranduil had finally been able to tell every single thing that had happened to him during his childhood with everything Oropher did to him it had become easier for him to talk about it. He had even gone to a psychologist a couple of times but stopped eventually with the words ‘I won’t waste my time talking to some stupid idiot while I could spend it cuddling with you instead’ and those words were so cute that they had melted Legolas’ heart like butter, so he was alright with it. And now the man was even able to joke a little about it without cringing like he was about to jump into a pit of lava.
“Nah, it’s just you for me and no one else, ever. Only you forever” Legolas promised and kissed his uncle softly. “And forever is pretty literal in our relationship.” He added with a glance at his uncles ears.
The businessman chuckled and his free hand that held the phone came up to caress the pointy tip of Legolas’ ear. “It is very literal indeed…luckily because no many years I would get to spend with you it would never be enough for me. Even though I doubt that what I get now will be enough.”
“You’re such a cheesy bastard. I thought you weren’t into romance.” Legolas teased but the truth was that Thranduil was probably the most romantic lover there probably was.
“I simply can’t help myself but be romantic with you.” Thranduil sighed theatrically and pulled Legolas even closer to him.
“And I love that very much.” The younger one smiled, while he pecked his uncle’s lips. “Buuuuut, don’t try to change the subject. What kind of surprise do I get?” He asked again and the businessman laughed.
“Well what would you like to have?” His lover asked back.
‘A puppy’ that was what Legolas really wanted to have but he didn’t want to ask for that. His uncle wouldn’t be very excited by that wish and even though he had promised Legolas that he would get him whatever the boy wanted, a dog might be where the man drew a line. So he hesitated and didn’t say it.
“Are you hesitating?” Thranduil noticed the slight pause and narrowed his eyes a little. “You know that I will can you everything in this world, you just have to say it and you’ll get it, no matter what it might be.”
“I know.” Legolas mumbled and started to chew on his bottom lip. “But you wouldn’t like it and I don’t want you to get me something you don’t really want.”
“Love, as long as it doesn’t include me sharing you with someone, because I’m ways too possessive for that, there isn’t anything I think I would mind.”
A blush appeared on the younger one’s cheeks at the thought of having a threesome since he had never thought about that but he knew that if he would ever want that, he would want it with two Thranduil’s and no one else. Why wasn’t the man able to clone himself for an hour or something?!
“I would never want anyone but you.” He whispered quietly, while his head rested on the strong chest. He heard the strong beating heart jump a little at his words.
“So what is it what you want?”
Legolas would never say ‘a puppy’ because he didn’t want to annoy his lover with that, so he said something else instead. “It doesn’t matter.” He mumbled and hid his face in his boyfriend’s shirt.
“It does matter.” Thranduil insisted on it, but as Legolas shook his head again, he sighed quietly and accepted his nephew’s stoic behavior.
“If you ever feel comfortable telling me just say so.” He mumbled then and the younger one sighed in relief that his boyfriend was that patient.
“Okay.” He mumbled quietly, before he grabbed his phone to look who had texted him. To get more comfortable he turned and wiggled until his back was leaning against Thranduil’s chest, who had been forced to sit up more, their legs were intertwined and the older man’s chin rested on Legolas’ shoulder, while both his arms were slung around the youth’s thin waist and resting on the flat stomach.
Legolas answered a couple of questions and had entirely forgotten what he had talked about in the text message with Tauriel, until he opened the chat to answer her last text. It said: ‘Once you get Thranduil to get you a puppy you should chose a Pomeranian! They look like little Teddy Bears.’ And attached to it was the image of an adorable puppy.
The younger one smiled at the message, until he remembered only 3 seconds later that his lover was able to read the text message as well from his place behind Legolas. And the small, dark chuckle was proof enough that the man had read everything.
“So this is what you want? A puppy? You were afraid to ask me for a dog?” The deep amused voice whispered into his ear and a shudder went down his spine.
Legolas nodded a little embarrassed and didn’t dare to look at his boyfriend, since he didn’t want to see the disapproving look that would crush his dream of a puppy.
“Do you want a dog?” Thranduil asked softly and pressed the smaller one tighter against his chest. Another little nod.
“Then tell me what kind of dog, love. I promised you that I would get you anything you want.”
Those words startled the younger blond and he finally looked at his uncle to see if he was only joking. But the beautiful face was absolutely serious even though it showed a little amusement.
“Wait what?” He asked startled while his mouth dropped open. “For real? You would get me a dog? Don’t play with me, this isn’t a joke I’ve always wanted a puppy!” Excitement spread through his body.
“I’m not joking.” The man laughed and kissed his cheek softly.
“But you hate animals, I had to blackmail you to get Smaug!” Legolas protested disbelievingly. “And also dogs sometimes droll and the hairs and all that, doesn’t it annoy you? Also they’re clingy.”
“I don’t hate animals, I simply think some are annoying. Having a kitten might have shown me that it’s not that bad to have a pet. And let’s face it, Smaug is very clingy as well, and I like clingy things, otherwise I wouldn’t like you.”
That was true, Legolas was the clingiest person in the world when it came to relationships. Luckily Thranduil loved that!
“May I get a Husky puppy then?”
Legolas was almost jumping up and down the black leather seat, while they left NYC and drove on the highway. He was close to actually biting his finger nails and only his dislike of bitten fingernails prevented him from doing it.
“You seem a little excited.” Thranduil noticed amused, who was driving the car faster than most people were comfortable with, but not Legolas. He had grown used to the fast driving style and once you had overcome the fear of the speed you noticed that Thranduil was an excellent driver.
“Just a little.” Legolas joked, while his stomach was curling up with happiness.
“You’re so adorable, I’m still wondering how it’s possible to be that kind of cute.” The man smiled softly, while his hand grabbed Legolas’ and intertwined their fingers.
“You’re such a cheesy boyfriend, I don’t know how many times I’ve told you that you’re cheesy but you really are. I don’t mind though.” Legolas stared outside the window, still excited and noticed how they left the city behind quickly and the landscape grew more country like in minutes. Only half an hour later they exited the highway and continued on a different road. It was familiar to Legolas, it was an expensive area for the very rich people who had a lot of power as well as influence and bank accounts that held more money than middle class people earned in all their life. The reason he knew this area was, because they owned a mansion here that they used on long weekends when they didn’t feel to be in the mood of flying into one of their holiday villas outside the country or in another state.
With each second he felt as if it was harder for him to breathe and at one point he even though he would pass out. That amused Thranduil very much, who laughed about his nephew every now and then. When they pulled up at a huge, white villa that was surrounded by a perfect garden, he felt as if he might get a heart attack, so fast was his heart beating.
“Calm down love.” Thranduil laughed, while they got out of the car but Legolas couldn’t even think about calming down, he was ways too excited!
“I can’t.” He almost squeaked and grabbed his boyfriends hand tightly, while they walked up the huge stairs to the enormous entrance door that seemed to belong to a palace rather than a mansion.
“We’re just looking at puppies and if you like one we can take it but if you don’t find the right one we will look somewhere else, alright?” The businessman kissed him softly on top of his head and tightened the grip of their hands.
“Alright, alright.” The younger blond nodded and took a deep breath to calm down his heart a little but as soon as he heard the door open his heart raced even more. It was almost impossible for him to hear anything besides the strong beating.
The door opened and a tall man with straight, raven black hair and dark eyes as well as almost snow white skin opened. His jaw line was sharp, his cheekbones sticking out and his pale lips curled into a welcoming smile. He seemed unbelievably intimidating and so scary that Legolas felt the urge to hide behind his uncle.
The only thing that showed that this man was not a beautiful monster was the shirt he wore. It was a white T-Shirt with the print ‘Best Husband In The World’ on it.
“Thranduil!” A dark voice thundered and a shiver went down Legolas’ spine, had they done something wrong? But then the stranger continued. “So good to see you again.” And with that the black haired one hugged the slightly smaller but just as intimidating blond one.
“Melkor, how are you?” Thranduil answered with a grin and hugged the man back, who laughed.
“Fine, I’m great actually.” The dark eyes that seemed to have a strange glow in them wandered over to Legolas, who swallowed hard.
“You must be Legolas, so nice to meet you love. Thranduil won’t shut up about you, and don’t worry, you secret is save.” The man winked at him and patted his head softly with slender fingers.
“Uhm, hi?” He answered shyly but got closer to his uncle anyways.
“Come on in, come on in.” Melkor waved them in and they followed into the big entrance hall. The door closed automatically behind them and fell shut with a soft click. “I’m so glad you called, while I love the pups we can’t keep them all and Mai is already upset that he has to give some away so I think it might be easier if it’s to someone who we know.” The man explained, while the strolled down a long hallway. Now Legolas was able to get a look on the back of the white T-Shirt that continued the sentence on the front and finished it. ‘…most of the time’
Thranduil laughed. “I expected nothing else from him, how upset is he?”
“See for yourself.” Melkor opened a huge door and they entered a room that was apparently a living room. It had a huge, white couch in it that was very different from the dark design of the rest of the house. On it sat a slightly smaller man than Thranduil with long, flame like hair that spilled over his shoulders in soft waves. It looked like fire with the red, orange and blonde and was a contrast to the paleness of the owner of it. He was surrounded by at least five husky puppies and had another one sitting on his lap. Two grown up dogs were laying to his left and right and looked very wolf like.
“Mai, Thranduil and Legolas are here to look at the pups.” Melkor explained, but the man simply shot them an evil gaze out of almost glowing eyes. They had to be a light brown but they almost appeared to be as flame like as the hair. The men called ‘Mai’ was just as beautiful as Melkor, with similar sharp cheekbones and a sharp jawline, but he appeared slightly softer even though no less intimidating.
“No.” The flame haired man grumbled with a sharp voice and licked his plump, red lips, while he pressed the puppy in his arms closer to his chest.
“Mairon we talked about this.” Melkor sighed, but Mairon simply grumbled and buried his nose in the soft fur of a black and white pup.
“And I said no.”
“But Thranduil is a good friend of ours and they know how take care of a pet, they have a cat called Smaug and it’s very happy with them.” The dark haired one tried to get the other one soft and it seemed to work because Mairon’s gaze flickered between Melkor, Legolas and Thranduil.
“Well, at least they’re good at giving names.” He eventually sighed and dropped one hand with perfectly manicured finger nails.
“I’ll allow you to look at the puppies, but that doesn’t mean I’ll give you one!” Mairon mumbled and Melkor smiled softly.
“Thank you love.” The dark haired one said and the flame haired man seemed to blush a little.
“Don’t call me that Melkor!” He almost snapped sharply, before he looked at Legolas and Thranduil again. The piercing gaze let a shudder run down the youngest one’s spine and he held his boyfriend’s hand so tightly that he was almost afraid he would break Thranduil’s fingers.
“Are you afraid of me?” Mairon asked with an almost surprised voice, but a grin on his lips.
“No.” Legolas lied, but all men in the room laughed about the obvious lie.
“The truth is that he’s pretty harmless.” Melkor whispered quietly enough that his husband didn’t hear it.
“Alright, come closer, they won’t bite.” Mairon finally decided and waved them closer. Thranduil pulled Legolas with him, who was still a little hesitant to get close to the flame haired man.
“These are Glaurung…” Mairon petted the gray grown up husky to his right. “and Ancalagon. They’re the parents.” He petted the black one to his left as well.
“They almost look like wolves.” Legolas mumbled with a stunned voice and got an excited look from the man that was surrounded by dogs.
“They do, don’t they?!”
Melkor chuckled behind the youngest one. “Now you’ve won his heart.” He joked and caught a dark glare from his boyfriend.
“We’ve got six pups, three of them are black, two are brown and this little one is in a light grey.” Mairon picked the small dog on his lap with the only light fur.
“Sit down Las, I promise you that Mai won’t bite you, unless you insult his dogs or his hair. Or his rings.” Thranduil encouraged his nephew, who only then noticed the many rings that were on Mairon’s fingers.
“Or unless you want him to.” Melkor added with a laugh and caused his boyfriend to roll his eyes.
Hesitatingly the youngest one sat down on the huge couch and was immediately ‘attacked’ by the small puppies, who seemed to have caught interest in their newest companion.
“At least they seem to like you…” Mairon mumbled with a sight.
“Do they have names already?” He asked while he tried to give each and every one of the dogs the same amount of attention. It was an impossible task and soon they all licked his face to get petted more.
“They don’t, Melkor forbid me name them.”
Melkor shrugged innocently as he felt the curios eyes from the blond ones. “I don’t want him to get even more attached than he already is.” He simply explained. “Once he’s able to name them he won’t ever let them go.”
“You forcing me to give some of them away is reason enough for me to go. I should divorce you and simply take all my lovely dogs to live with them instead.” Mairon grinned slightly and showed so a row of perfectly white teeth but his canines almost seemed to be a little sharper than it was normal. Legolas’ eyes darted to the ears that were partly hidden by the unusual hair. Even though he couldn’t see much it was obvious that they were pointy.
“You wouldn’t dare.” Melkor said simply with a grin.
Thranduil laughed. “You couldn’t survive without each other. After a day would be reunited again and marry each other 2 hours later once more.” The businessman stated and a soft smile played around the corner of Mairon’s lips.
“You’re probably right…” The flame haired man looked at Legolas with a sight. “And you seem pretty lovely with dogs and animals and also you’re pretty cute. Do you have a favorite one found yet?” The piercing eyes shot to the pups that still fought for the youngest one’s attention.
“I don’t know they’re simply all so adorable and cute.” It really was impossible to find one he liked most.
“Well if you want one to cuddle with a lot you should go with the silver one or the two brown ones. The other three are cuddly but more independent. They all need a lot of physical exercise and a lot of care. You obviously have to teach them commands. Do you want to be their buddy or their parent?”
“Their buddy I guess…” Legolas mumbled, not really knowing where the difference was.
“So that they’ll be you companion, then you should choose one of these two…” Mairon pointed towards two black ones. “Or the grey one. The other one’s need a stronger hand. But these darlings need a buddy. And our lovely grey boy here needs a companion who wants to cuddle and play with him as often as possible. Preferably the entire day. Are you home much?”
“Yeah, but I could take him to work with me, right?” Legolas glanced at his uncle who shrugged.
“You’re never actually working anyways so why not?”
“I am working!” The younger one protested.
“Really? I doubt that people would agree with you once they would know what exactly you when you’re not busy…” Thranduil teased him so he quickly interfered before the other two would know too much.
“Alright, alright!” He said and cut off his uncle that way. “I’m able to take him with me to the place where I pretend to work.”
Mairon nodded slowly and bit his lip as if he was fighting a battle against himself. “I think…if I do have to give away some of my lovely darlings-“
“Which you do!” Melkor threw in but got ignored.
“-Then I think you should be worthy having one. And I think this pretty boy fits perfectly to you.” Mairon grabbed the light grey one and placed it into Legolas’ lap. The puppy blinked up to the young blond, titled its head, before it began to lick his face.
Legolas laughed and buried his hands in the soft fur of the small creature as he started stroking the pretty fur. “You’re such a cutie.” He mumbled and looked at his boyfriend with a bright smile.
“So that’s the chosen one?” Thranduil asked softly and got a nod as an answer from his nephew.
“What will you name him?” Mairon asked while he grabbed himself a different pup and petted it.
“I thought about Strider.”
The flame haired one nodded in agreement. “That’s a good name, not as cool as our dogs are named but alright.”
Legolas took that as a compliment. “Thanks.” He mumbled.
They stayed for over an hour so Thranduil could catch up with Melkor and Mairon, whose mood got better with any minute now that he had accepted the idea of giving away one of his beloved huskies. But eventually it was time to say goodbye and Legolas carried his new found companion in his arms. He couldn’t stop petting, cuddling and talking to the puppy, that seemed to love all the attention it got. They fitted together perfectly.
And after they had said goodbye and were out of the door, the young blonde heard how Mairon sighed quietly.
“I’m proud of you love.” Melkor mumbled and put an arm around the shoulders of his smaller, lithe boyfriend, who grumbled a little. “How about we keep two of them? You don’t have to give away all the pups.”
Mairon’s gaze shot to the dark haired one. “Really?” He asked surprised.
“Really.” Melkor repeated.
“Okay, I can live with that. But I chose who will get the other one’s!”
“Of course you will.”
Then the door was closed and Legolas and Thranduil had reached the car. His uncle opened the door for him since Legolas didn’t have any arms free to reach the door handle. He closed it at well, before he walked all the way around the car to get in himself.
“Those two…” The younger one began, while the businessman started the car. “They’re not human, right? Are they like we are?”
A smile played at the corners of the businessman’s lips. “They’re not human indeed, but they’re not like us either, at least not entirely. I don’t actually know how old they are but…let’s just say they’re old.”
“What are they? Something like vampires?”
“Vampires don’t exist love.” Thranduil chuckled. “But I don’t exactly know what they are, I never asked but I know that once Mairon was Melkor’s lieutenant and loyal servant. I don’t know much more about their past, just that they came together and stayed like that until now.”
Legolas snorted. “And next you’re telling me that they’re gods or something.”
Thranduil laughed at that comment. “Perhaps.” He mumbled then with a lost voice and Legolas decided not to ask more, before the subject got even closer.
Instead he pressed a soft kiss on Strider’s head who was looking out of the window excitedly.
“Thank you love.” He then added and Thranduil smiled softly.
“Like I said, I would get you everything in the world.”
It turned out that even though Thranduil was against any form of chaos and hated fur on his expensive suits, loved Strider dearly and couldn’t deny the puppy anything at all. And while they had shared their bed with Smaug before, they now had an additional family member that climbed on the blanket every night to cuddle with both men.
