The reaching out, the risking of his fragile hope, nearly undid him, yet, his heart would allow nothing less. Aragorn had asked, and now he must wait, and he dared not push or attempt to persuade. This man was worth much more than that, and Aragorn must win him with only the truth he put in his eyes.

At last, the answer, spoken roughly. “Yes.”

Aragorn breathed, took Boromir’s hand in his, and rejoiced. He had won Boromir’s body for this night, yet Aragorn ached for more. Somehow, he would do it. His heart would allow nothing less.

Nothing less.

Oh, beautiful! So evocative of the desire and hesitation on both their parts. I especially love your expression of Boromir's answer.

You always manage to put so much emotion into so few words...this makes my breath pause.

Aragorn must win him with only the truth he put in his eyes.

Oh you write again. I'm happy!!! Wonderful drablle. I forgot (almost) about Arwen. I don't know how you do it, but when you write about that pair I believe in them. Thank you.
By the way, there is always back on my mind Arwen or Eowyn, characters which I like very much, so when Aragorn or Faramir are with Boromir as lovers I fill sometimes uneasy. That why I love the most when Boromir is pairing with Elladan.

Gorgeous... Aragorn, as usual, the strategist and hunter, knowing he must approach with caution, but seeking more than a single night. And Boromir, skittish and unsure... beautiful!

That is brillant - as good as it gets. Every word is perfectly placed.

I backtracked to this piece from the later one and was immediately caught up in the mood - 100 words really isn't very many to work with, but you present us with layers of emotion, character, a backstory and future prompt...wow...thanks for posting this.
