Warning: Two...that's right two nekkid elves. Holly if you're at work then I suggest you wait till you get home.Uhm...I think that's all. Oh I wouldn't suggest not drinking anything either.

What Didn't Happen- Caught in the Buff Challenge
by Enelya
Two raven haired elves walked down the hall towards their father�s study. Neither looked very happy at the moment.
�It�s your fault you know.� Elrohir said suddenly.
�My fault Roh? How was it my fault? You�re the one who started it by throwing a piece of parchment at me.� Elladan said as he stared incredulously at his twin.
�Well you were the one daydreaming at your desk El. I tried calling your name, but Ressor told me to be quiet, so I had to do something to get your attention.� The younger twin quipped.
�You thought throwing the piece of parchment, with the small bit of your essay written on it was a good idea?� Elladan asked as they continued down the hall.
�Well how was I supposed to know that you were daydreaming so much that I�d startle you and you�d knock your inkbottle over? Ressor wasn�t too happy about that was he?� Elrohir asked finally, worry creeping into his voice as they approached their father�s study.
�Nay and I think Ada will be as equally unhappy about it. He�Roh, do you hear that?� Elladan said as they paused outside the study. His eyes were wide when he turned to look at his twin and noticed the same shocked expression on Elrohir�s face.
The sound of wood meeting flesh sounded clearly in the hall and would�ve been heard sooner had the raven-haired troublemakers not been so intent on their conversation. They stared at each other a moment longer then stared at the closed door.
�El who do you think it is?� Roh asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Elladan shook his head. �I don�t know.�
�You don�t think it�s Arwen, do you?�
A blank look appeared on the older twin�s face before he cuffed the younger twin lightly. �Of course not. First of all, Arwen would be screaming like Ada was killing her and secondly, Ada would not be spanking Arwen that hard, she�s just a baby.�
�She�s five.�
�Like I said, she�s a baby. That sounds like one of Glorfy�s paddlings anyway and do not even suggest that Glorfy would spank Arwen that hard. He would never spank her that hard much less use the paddle on her.� Elladan said glaring at this twin, daring him to even say something about it.
�You�re right. Sorry I didn�t think.� Elrohir said softly feeling bad for even thinking it.
�You never do. Sorry Roh, but you don�t.� He said when he saw the hurt expression on his twin�s face. �I think we�d better just go to our room. We�ll wait till Glorfy�s done. I don�t want to be here when he gets done. He might think we were eavesdropping.� Elladan said as he turned his twin by the shoulders.
They hurried down the hall towards their room. Once inside they sat on the bed they shared. �El maybe we should go look for Ada. We know he�s not in his study, so maybe he�s in the garden or he could be in the kitchen.�
�Roh what would Ada be doing in the kitchen?� Elladan asked his eyebrow rising in the perfect imitation of their father.
�Doing what we like to do when we go in there brother. Beg from some treats.� Elrohir grinned as he jumped off the bed neatly avoiding the cuff his twin had aimed at the back of his head. He turned to look at his twin. �Come on El.� He beckoned as he opened the door to their room.
Elladan followed his younger sibling from the room and down the hall to the kitchen. �I don�t think Ada goes and begs treats from the kitchen staff Roh. He is the Lord of the house. I�m sure all he has to do is go in there and they give him some. I think we�re the only ones that have to beg around here.�
�I do not expect to repeat this lesson with you.� Glorfindel said as he landed the last swat to the very sore, red bottom before him. He put the paddle down and placed a gentle hand on the heaving back. �Come mellon-nin, it is over with.� He said in a softer tone as he helped Elrond straighten up and pulled him into a much-needed hug.
When Elrond was calmer and had straightened his clothing, he looked at the blonde haired vanya and stated, �The twins heard.�
�Aye they did, but your imps had no idea who was in here. I do question Elrohir�s sense though.� Glorfindel said with an exasperated sigh.
Elrond chuckled slightly and asked, �And why is that Glorfy?�
�Stop that. It�s bad enough your twin terrors call me that. I don�t need the same cheek from you as well. As for your youngest son�s sanity, he had the nerve to suggest that you were in here being this hard on Arwen.� Glorfindel stopped a minute and took in the appearance of the elf lord before him. �You should go and rest before the evening meal. I think you need it.�
�Aye, I think I will and no you will not have to repeat the lesson. I will stop taking on so much and spend time relaxing at night.� Elrond said as he touched his seneschal�s arm lightly and smiled a little.
�Good. Go on then off with you.� Glorfindel growled and gave Elrond a light shove towards the doors of the study. Once Elrond was gone, the Balrog Slayer returned the paddle to its place in the bottom drawer of the desk, and then went to seek out the pair of elflings that were eavesdropping earlier.
�Why would Ada be in his room Roh? He�s never there unless it�s time for bed and it is nowhere near bedtime. We haven�t even had the evening meal yet.� Elladan said as he followed his twin down the hall.
�El we�ve checked everywhere else. He wasn�t in the gardens, the kitchen staff said they haven�t seen him all day, we even went back to his study and no one was in there. He has to be in his room. If he isn�t then we�ll just wait till it�s time for the evening meal and tell him we need to talk to him once we have finished eating.� Elrohir said as he stopped in front of his father�s room. He knocked a couple of times and waited.
Elrond stood in his room, with nary a thread on. He was headed over to his bed when he heard the knock to his door. That sound made the elf lord freeze. His heart rate quickened as he could hear the distinct sound of his twins right outside the door. He placed a hand on his hip and looked behind himself at the red still coloring his backside. Suddenly his door opened and he looked up with a mixture of shock and embarrassment on his face into the widened eyes of his beloved elflings.
Elladan recovered quickly and ducked his head. �I beg your pardon Ada, I didn�t realize you were in here. We knocked, but I don�t think you heard us. We didn�t realize that you were on your way to your bathing chamber. Roh and I can talk to you about what we need to after dinner.� Elladan said smoothly as if he hadn�t noticed that his Ada�s sculpted and muscular backside looked like it had been recently spanked. He pulled his still wide-eyed and gaping twin from the room and closed the door.
Elrohir turned to look at Elladan and noticed that his twin was halfway down the hall. �El! Wait El!� He called as he hurried after the older twin. When he caught up to him he got in front of his twin and stopped him from moving forward. �El, did you see�?� He started then stopped when he saw the look his twin was giving him. When he realized the reason for the look, he followed his twin quickly and quietly to their room.
Once inside, Elrohir tried again. �El, did you see�?� He started again only this time he was stopped by his brother�s words.
�No, I didn�t see anything Roh, and neither did you for that matter.� Elladan stated firmly.
�Yes I did, I saw�� Elrohir said quirking an eyebrow, not understanding what had gotten into his twin.
�Nothing. You saw nothing Elrohir. Neither one of us saw a thing. We went to tell Ada that we would see him at dinner and talk to him afterwards and that�s all.� Elladan said with such firmness, that Elrohir thought maybe he had done something without realizing it.
He thought Elladan�s tone held a bit of urgency to it as well. It hit the younger twin then what his brother was telling, or rather not telling him. �You are right, I did not see anything El. We should probably get ready for the evening meal.�
A sigh of relief burst from Elladan�s lips and that�s when he realized that he�d been holding his breath. �Quite right brother. You smell more like an Orc than I do, so you can have a bath first.�
Elrohir opened his mouth to give his brother an equal remark, when their door opened and Glorfindel strolled in. The twin�s mouth opened and shut a few times as he tried to decide what to say.
�Speechless for once I see Elrohir. I have come to ask you two a question and I want the absolute truth from you. Were you or were you not both lingering outside the study earlier today?� Glorfindel asked eyeing both elflings.
The twins looked at each other before Elladan answered. �Aye we were outside the study, but we left right away.�
�I see. And what was your purpose for being near the study in the first place?� Glorfindel questioned as he noticed the looks the twins were giving each other.
�We were looking for Ada, but we decided he was busy and decided that we would talk to him later.� Elrohir said as he chose his words carefully.
�What was it that you didn�t see earlier?� He wondered if they had indeed seen what he thought they saw.
Elrohir looked at Elladan and saw his twin shake his head. �N-nothing Glorfy. We didn�t see a thing.�
�You did not? That wouldn�t be a lie would it Elrohir?� The vanya watched as Elrohir turned to look at Elladan who again shook his head.
�No Glorfy. El and I didn�t see anything.� Elrohir said stumbling over the first word slightly.
�Why would we lie Glorfy? You don�t like it when we lie to you. Roh told you the truth. We didn�t see anything.� Elladan said as he drew closer to his twin.
Arms crossed and a stern expression on his face, Glorfindel didn�t say anything for a few minutes. Finally he spoke, � Very well, but if I find out later that you two have kept something from me, we will have a lengthy discussion on lying to me.� He left the room and shut the door behind him.
Lord Erestor noticed that the table was a little too silent that night. The twins were usually chatty even after being on the receiving end of one of their Ada�s lectures. He noted that they weren�t squirming in their so he knew that they hadn�t been spanked. Perhaps a scolding was all they received this time. One thing he did notice and it struck him as odd was that while the twins weren�t squirming, Lord Elrond was doing a fair amount of moving in his seat. He shook his head and went back to his meal. He probably didn�t want to know and it was probably best if he didn�t ask.
Elrond was well aware of the silence and when he looked towards the twins, he noticed that they were mostly staring at their plates and pushing their food around. �Ions are you finished?� He asked gently. When he saw the nods, he nodded and said, �Very well then why don�t you two go along and wait in the sitting room. I will be along shortly, to spend some time with you.�
Hearing this bit of information, Elladan and Elrohir looked up with small smiles gracing their faces. �We will Ada. Come on Roh.� The two walked as quickly as they could without running from the dining room. Once out in the hall though they both broke into a run trying to get to the sitting room before the other.
�I beat you!� Elrohir cried out as he flopped down on the couch. He watched as El flopped down in a chair near the fireplace.
�Yes this time.� Elladan said then went quiet for a few minutes, before he spoke again in a softer voice. �Roh, you do know that we have to tell Ada that we got in trouble with Ressor today, don�t you?�
�Aye I know, but I�d rather we didn�t have to.� Roh said quietly.
They were interrupted by the door opening and Lord Elrond walking in carrying a tray. �You didn�t eat much tonight pen-neths so I thought I would bring us a little something to have while we talked.� On the tray were three mugs of steaming hot chocolate and a plate piled high with chocolate biscuits. He sat down in the chair across from Elladan and held his arms open to his children. �Come here sweet ones.� He called gently to them.
The twins got up from their spots and went to their father, but when they realized that he wanted them to sit on his lap to hold them, neither wanted to sit knowing it would probably cause him more pain. They settled at his feet on either side of his knees, and laid their heads in his lap.
An eyebrow arched gracefully at the refusal to sit on his lap and cuddle. As they settled at his feet, Elrond placed a gentle hand on each raven head and began to stroke the silky hair of his twins. �How was you day tithen-pens?� he asked wondering if they would speak of what they saw earlier now that they were alone.
�It was alright Ada, except�� Elladan started, and then paused. He looked at his twin and wondered if he should break the mood now and tell what they had done. When he saw Roh�s nod he took a deep breath and said, �We got in trouble with Ressor today.�
�It was my fault Ada. I threw a piece of parchment at El and it caused him to knock his inkbottle over. Ressor got upset with us then and told us to go to your study and tell you what we had done.� Elrohir blurted out before their father could say anything.
The silence that filled the room hung heavy in the air as each occupant had their own thought and wondered what the other would say. Finally with a pat to each head, Elrond cleared his throat and said, �Look at me elflings.� Once he had his children�s attention, he continued. �You, Elrohir know better than to throw things at your brother, don�t you?�
�Aye Ada.� Elrohir responded his eyes downcast now.
Grey eyes looked at Elladan next. �I would guess that the only reason Elrohir threw parchment at you was because you were off daydreaming again and weren�t paying attention to your work. Right pen-neth?�
�Aye Ada� Elladan said softly as he looked down as well.
Placing a hand underneath each chin he tilted the two faces up till their eyes met. �You both have been warned about playing around and daydreaming in class haven�t you my dear ones?�
The twins nodded, still hoping that they would be spared a trip over their Ada�s lap.
�Alright then, up both of you. Elrohir to the corner please, Elladan leggins down and over my lap.� He said sitting up straighter in the chair.
Elladan gulped as he heard the order. He gave Elrohir a quick look of sympathy as the younger twin went to make his way over to the corner. They looked at each other for a brief moment, nodded and then each did as was requested.
Elrond wrapped his arm around Elladan�s waist and raised his other hand. �Why are you getting this spanking ion-nin?� He asked bringing his hand down on his son�s waiting bottom.
Elladan drew his breath in sharply at the swat and said, �Be cause I was daydreaming instead of paying attention and for knocking over the ink bottle.�
Elrond halted his hand and said, �No tithen-pen. Knocking over the inkbottle was an accident. You are not being punished for that, just for not paying attention.� He let his hand fall several times till the bottom over his lap was quite pink. He landed another swat and didn�t raise his hand again. He kept it there resting it on Elladan�s bottom. He could feel the trembling of his child�s back as Elladan fought to keep his sobs silent. �Can you hear me ion?� He asked as he tucked a strand of the elfteen�s hair out of the way revealing a pointed ear. Elrond saw the small nod and continued. �No more daydreaming, is that clear?� He saw another small nod, then lifted his sobbing child and pulled him onto his lap. �Shh, there now pen-neth. It�s over with and you have been forgiven.�
Elladan laid his head on his father�s shoulder and sniffed softly. It had hurt, but it wasn�t the worst spanking he had ever gotten. He was sure he�d be able to sit at breakfast without squirming. He felt his Ada gently remove the pieces of hair sticking to his face and tuck them tenderly behind his ear. All too soon his Ada was nudging him up.
�Pull your leggins up and trade places with Elrohir.� He said, as he looked towards the younger twin who was still in the corner though he could see his shoulders shaking a little, a sure sign that the younger twin was upset at having to listen.
Elladan quickly raised his leggins wincing slightly as they slid over his bottom. He walked over and touched Elrohir on the shoulder. �Come on Roh, it wasn�t so bad.� Elladan said softly as he had to turn his twin and give a gentle push towards their father. As he positioned himself in the corner he felt a hand on his arm and turned slightly.
Elrohir grabbed his brother�s forearm and squeezed it gently; he then turned and walked over to his father. Not needing any prompting, he began to undo the lacing on his leggins and then laid himself over his father�s lap.
The elf lord felt a small smile tug at his lips. The young one over his lap usually had something smart to say, but it seemed that no smart remarks were forthcoming. �Why are you over my lap about to be spanked Elrohir?� Elrond asked as he landed a swat to the young elf�s backside.
Elrohir yelped loudly at the swat and said, �Ow�Ada not so hard�because I threw a piece of parchment at El.�
�That is right and it will be as hard as I think it should be tithen-pen. That is not for you to decide.� Elrond said as he shook his head. He raised his hand and began to spank the younger twin the same as he had the older one. He finally finished with one more swat to Elrohir�s now pink bottom, rested his hand the same as he had done with Elladan and said, �There won�t be anymore throwing of things in class will there Elrohir?�
Elrohir couldn�t speak and just shook his head. He felt himself lifted and then cuddled against his father�s chest. A few moments later he heard Elladan being called over to cuddle as well.
Elrond pulled the blanket up over his sleeping children and was about to leave when he heard one of them call to him softly. He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. �Elladan, what is it?� He asked softly brushing the hair from the young elf�s face.
�Ada do you have any lotion?� The elfteen asked hope in his eyes.
�I did not spank you hard enough for you to need lotion on your bottom. Now go to sleep ion-nin.� Elrond said as he patted his son�s covered bottom lightly.
�I know Ada, but maybe someone else might need it. I mean you never now when Ressor might go for a walk and land in a thistle bush.� Elladan said with a serious face.
Elrond smiled and said, �Thank you ion-nin. I believe there might be someone around here in need of it. Goodnight pen-neth.
�Night Ada.�
The first bright fingers of sunrise peeled away the last layers of darkness and settled on a lone figure down by the waterfall. He peeled off his robe, folded it carefully then placed it on a nearby rock. His tunic and undershirt came off next and like the robe before them were folded and placed on the rock. The lone elf then carefully sat on the ground and took his boots off and placed them next to the rock. Finally he undid the ties to his leggins and slid them off, folded them as best he could and placed them on the rock. He stepped graceful over to the water�s edge and stepped in not minding the chill of the water and glided over to his favorite spot under the small waterfall.
Water cascaded over the well-muscled body. His head was thrown back as the water rippled across his broad chest and formed rivers down his well-muscled back, arms and legs. Golden hair shone in the sun as the warmth from the waterfall caressed the rest of him. He turned, placed his hands against the wall of rock that was behind the small waterfall, swept his hair aside and let the water pound against his neck a moment then sighed as he felt the muscles relax. It was one of the rare things he took pleasure in. He was so preoccupied with his morning ritual that he failed to hear the feet approaching.
When he got out he walked over to the rock where he had left his clothes only to find them gone. He saw he was left with a towel and his boots and thought �At least the elfling left me my boots.� He sat on the rock, slipped his boots on, stood, wrapped the towel around his waist and stalked back to the last homely house. He hadn�t noticed the pair of grey eyes that had been watching from a nearby tree.
Elladan smirked as he watched the vanya walk off in just a towel and thought to himself. �That�ll teach him to spank my Ada.� He got down and began to walk home knowing he would be in trouble when he got there, but in his mind it was worth it. This time.
