Telephone

Elijah has a crush on Viggo. It isn't love, only very strong adoration. But he goes out of his way to curl smiles and longing looks in Viggo's direction, and giggles and whispers about it over ale with Dominic. And Dominic confesses a little thing he has for Orlando.

Elijah is able to keep a secret. Dominic is not. He whispers in Billy's ear, and Billy tells Ian, Ian tells John, John tells the make-up girl and the gossip is passed from mouth to ear to mouth until it reaches Viggo who corners Elijah one afternoon.

"I hear you have a crush on me." He says softly in that strange Aragorn accent he can never seem to be quite rid of.

Elijah gapes dumbly, unable to speak, even to move as Viggo leans closer to whisper in his ear. Rough stubble brushes across Elijah's jaw making him catch his breath as Viggo speaks:

"Maybe," he murmurs. "I have a crush on you too."
