The night was theirs, lay long and dark before them, and Aragorn gloried in the truth of it. Touching, seeking, learning skin, bone and muscle, taught him that Boromir was surprisingly sensual. He looked into almost trusting eyes, and was lost, irrevocably.

Aragorn was lost, for he wanted to soothe and protect, hold and keep. He wanted to love, even if his love was not returned. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, he thought, and then thought fled, leaving only feeling. Aragorn thrust into Boromir and knew only his lover’s heat.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Yes, he would remember, in the morning.

It's all quite lovely, but I was struck most by--
Aragorn gloried in the truth of it.
--Beautiful line. So clear, cutting right through the dark and heat and soft and warmth of the rest of the story. Lovely.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this, A/B really is all you've said, dark and heat, soft and warm, and even more. Thanks for reading, ;)

What a beautiful thought...to be lost in Boromir's heat...lovely

[archet.livejournal.com]

It is a lovely thought, I agree. ;) So glad you enjoyed this drabble!

Ah...this is so beautiful, and yet my heart hurts for Aragorn, giving all and yet losing all in the process. He keeps his vow, though, protects Boromir to the end, even if Boromir knows it not. Absolutely lovely!

Thank you! The idea of Aragorn spending the remainder of his life keeping his vow is so compelling, and I tend to think that someplace, somehow, they find one another again. Thanks for reading! ;)
