Title: Matchmaker, Matchmaker (2/?)
Author:Edgespet
Pairing:Supposed to be Billy/Dom although they're not co-operating right now! Also a bit of Karl/Craig & just a whisper of Viggo/Orli
Rating:PG-13/R-ish--a bit of language
Disclaimer:This is, of course, complete fiction unfortunately
F/B: Yes, please! This is my first LOTRips fic & I would love to know what you think & how to improve my writing!
A/N: Something I've been playing with for a while now. Billy/Dom getting together during the filming of Rings, from Orlando's POV. Sort of. Nothing new or creative, just something to stretch my writing muscles a bit. Unbeta-ed so all mistakes are my own. This was supposed to be about Billy/Dom, but then the men & elves invaded & sort of took over. Promise we'll get back to the Monaboyd with the next chapter!
"You know I always have a plan, Vig. Now all we have to do is..."
Viggo's eyebrow arched suspiciously. " We? "
"Awww, come on, Viggo! I can handle Dom, but Billy needs someone more... sensible to talk to. Anyway, all we have to do is just clue them in to the fact that each is interested in the other. Really simple!"
"Still skeptical, Orli. Nothing you ever do is simple. Besides, I'm still not convinced that "meddling" and "helping" aren't the same thing."
"Just trust me on this one , Viggo. Billy and Dom belong together! They just have to stop being so afraid of what might happen and just take the chance."
"Not everyone is as reckless as you are, Orli. Look at what they've got!" Viggo gave Orlando an odd intense look for a moment before continuing. " I would be hesitant to risk that kind of friendship too. "
Orlando opened his mouth to question the look he saw in Viggo's eyes but was interrupted by Sean dropping down between them, grumbling. "Can't believe my boy caved! Thought he was stronger than that. What happened to that damn macho Kiwi pride?"
Orlando looked at Sean, brow knitted in confusion, but Viggo burst out laughing. "I told you no one can resist an elf ! " His eyes flashed to Orlando momentarily before turning back to Sean. Viggo held his hand out to Sean, palm up and fingers wiggling. "Come on, Bean, pay up!"
Sean growled and shook his head. "Still can't believe it...fucking elves!"
Orlando had been following this exchange hoping to figure out what they were talking about, but only succeeded in getting more confused. Finally, he gave up. "Viggo, what the fuck are you two on about?"
Sean nodded toward the dance floor, still looking disgusted. Orli followed the other man's gaze, still not sure what he was looking for. Then his eyes fell on a new couple dancing together. His eyes widened and he looked back at the table where Craig and Karl had been sitting. Sure enough, neither man was there now. Orlando's eyes flashed back to the pair on the floor, wondering what sort of public decency laws New Zealand had. He was pretty sure that what he was seeing in front of him had to be breaking some sort of law somewhere. Dear god, who knew that Karl could move like that!
"So what...you two had a bet going over ...?" Orlando looked between the men across from him, searching for some enlightenment.
"Sean figured it would take Craig another month or so to get Karl out there dancing with him. I said two weeks." Viggo smirked at Sean, "Guess I was right, huh?" Sean glared at him and mumbled something vaguely obscene under his breath.
Orlando stared in fascination at the two Kiwis on the dance floor before turning his attention back to Viggo. "So what do you say, Vig? Are you going to help me or not?"
Viggo's eyes travelled back to the bar where Dom and Billy were sitting, now completely immersed in each other. He couldn't help smiling as he watched the two of them talking animatedly together. They were completely smitten with each other, maybe this hare-brained plot of Orli's really was a good idea. He still had his doubts, but he understood why Orlando wanted so badly to do this. He sighed, then turned back to the elf. "Fine. I'll help you out, but only up to a certain point. I won't push them, Orli. This has to be something that they decide on their own. But I will help you get them pointed in the right direction."
Orlando made a noise that sounded suspiciously like a squeal as he bounded up out of his chair and gave Viggo a fast hug. "Thanks, Viggo! I knew you were the right person to ask. I promise I'll be discreet." Viggo looked a bit skeptical still. Orlando knelt down beside Viggo and looked up into his eyes. " Look at me, Viggo." His friend lowered his eyes until they met Orlando's brown ones. Viggo was surprised to see that suddenly Orlando was completely serious. "I know what you're afraid of and I promise you I'll be careful. I love them too and I would never do anything to hurt either one of them. Please, Viggo, trust me on this one." Viggo knew that no matter how flighty Orlando was sometimes, he was also one of the most loving, generous people the artist had ever met. Orlando needed to make people happy and he was especially good at it. Viggo nodded slowly and smiled. "I do trust you, Orli. I do." Orlando brightened immediately and with a whispered thanks and a quick peck on the cheek, he went bounding off toward the bar where Elijah had joined up with the other two hobbits. Time to begin putting his plan into action!
Sean stared after Orlando with a look of near-exhaustion on his face. "What the fuck was that all about? What's up with the elf?"
Viggo just shook his head, sympathizing with Sean's worn-out look. Being around Orlando when he was excited about something tended to cause exhaustion. The boy just had way too much energy! "He's trying to play matchmaker for the hobbits and I've been drafted to help."
