Have We Met?



Viggo gazed out the window of the plane as it neared its destination. He hadn’t slept well the night before and he hadn’t slept well on the plane. His mind was going a hundred miles an hour thinking about this movie. Shit 16 months! That was a hell of a long time to be stuck in New Zealand.

He could see the Islands spread out below him as they began their descent. He rubbed his tired eyes. They hurt from the lack of sleep, swollen from when he had cried the day before after reading the letter from the recipient of Christine’s heart. The Islands were beautiful as he could see just from the air. He couldn’t wait to get out and explore the land closely. He had called Peter from the plane, and Peter had told him he would pick him up at the airport. Viggo told him it wasn’t necessary, that he probably had better things to do then taxi him around. But Peter had been insistent and Viggo had agreed. He admired the director already. He was persistent and most involved in the daily operation of this film. It was a dedication he didn’t see much in Hollywood now days.

As they approached the landing strip he took a deep breath and realized his life was about to change for the next 16 months or so, and he wasn’t really sure he was ready.

Once off the plane he immediately knew who Peter was by his description he had given Viggo, plump, dark curly hair, big glasses, short.

“Welcome Viggo!” he shouted at him as he approached the round man. Viggo held out his hand and Peter just put his arms around the man and gave him a huge hug.

“Glad you came, so glad you came.” He beamed with enthusiasm.

“Well… I hope I don’t disappoint,” he mumbled. Slightly taken aback by the mans over zealousness.

“You’ll be great, just great, come lets get you out of here and over to the set. I want you to meet everyone and then we will get you settled in.”

Viggo nodded and they made their way to get Viggos luggage.

Once in the car Peter started to explain the character of Aragorn to him and why he had released Stuart. “It’s really strange when we cast Stuart, he really didn’t fit the part but the casting director had assured me he would do okay. But once we saw that he just wasn’t…it, we had to let him go, it was very hard and at this point in the game it was a very tough decision.”

Viggo nodded his head feeling more nervous about not meeting his new directors expectations.

Soon they pulled into the company production studio. “I’ll take you around and get you familiar with everyone and then I can take you to your place. I’m sure your tired after the long flight and the short notice.”

“Yeah, I must say I didn’t sleep to well,” he grinned as he rubbed the back of his neck, which was rather stiff from trying to sleep on the plane.

Peter stopped, and placed his hand on Viggos shoulder and looked at him. “I just want to say again, before we go on… how truly sorry I am about what happened with your wife, I didn’t mean to come a cross as pushy or noisy, but if you need anything… I mean anything at all… to help you out while you’re here, you let me know, okay?” he asked looking very sincere.

“Thanks, I appreciate that, it been a very rough year. I’m hoping this little adventure will help bring some new meaning into my life.”Viggo answered honestly.

Peter smiled, “I can almost guarantee you will have a life changing experience here Viggo, I can feel it in my bones,” he laughed and slapped the man on the back.

Viggo smiled at what seemed like a ridiculous thing to say. He shrugged his shoulders, “Ya never know I guess.”

Minute’s later Peter was introducing him to Ian McKellen and Ian Holm. “These are some of the mature ones here,” he laughed. Both Ian’s laughed and totally agreed with that.

“And over here, he knocked on the trailer,” open up you furry hobbits,” he yelled out.

Elijah came to open the door, yawning as he did, and immediately woke up as he saw who was at the door. “This here is Elijah Wood, he plays Frodo, and Sean Astin as Sam. “he shook both men’s hands. Viggo watched the shitty grin on Elijah’s face and wondered what that was about. “This here is Billy & Dom they play Pippin and Merry the other two crazy and wild hobbits.”

“Pleased to meet you Viggo,” Billy smiled as he held out his hand. He took Viggos in his and shook it. “Oi, you got a strong grip there, Viggo,” he smiled.

“Uh, thanks, I think,” he replied laughing.

“Where are Boromir and the elf?” Peter asked looking around.

“Oh, there over in the other trailer getting their makeup on,” chimed in Dom.

“Thanks, I’m going to introduce Viggo, then take him to his place while he’s staying here.”

“Sounds good Pete,” said Elijah and added, “Good to finally meet you Viggo, you’ll have a lot of fun here, lots of new things to experience, life changes and everything.”

Peter laughed as Viggo stared in shock. “That’s what I told him just a few minutes ago, were you listening with those big ears of yours hobbit?”

“No, really you said that?” Elijah thought this was truly a sign.

“Come on Viggo, let’s finish with the principle characters and then you can be on your way.”

“Nice to meet you,” he said as he walked away giving them a small wave and nod as he did.

Elijah, Sean, Billy and Dom all watched as Viggo walked away with Peter.

“Well, what do you thinks going to happen when he meets the elf,” asked Elijah not talking to anyone in particular, but voicing what everyone else was thinking.

“Oh, I think the elf’s going to be smitten,” said Billy after a pause.

“I think the new rangers going to have his hands full of elf,” Said Dom.

“Sean?” asked Elijah. “What say you?”

“Well….” He paused as if giving serious thought to what he would say.” I guess I would have to say…things are going to be quite interesting around here for the rest of the shoot. Is he gay though?” he asked. “I mean Viggo, he was married before.”

“Don’t know, but if I were straight, and Orlando had the hots for me, I’d go gay,” chimed in Billy.

“You wanker, well it’s a good thing he doesn’t go for you that’s for sure,” Dom grabbed him around the neck.

They all stared giggling and talking about the events that would be happening with their new costar.

Peter stopped at the door to the trailer before he went in. “This is where you will be Viggo, with Sean Bean and Orlando Bloom. Sean won’t be here very often because he gets killed early on, but Orlando will be a constant companion for you, so I hope you two get a long okay.”

“Is he new?” He asked. “I haven’t heard the name before.”

“Yeah, he’s just out of drama school.”

“Oh, a little wet behind the ears?’ Viggo smiled.

“Well actually, he is doing really well, better than I even expected of him. He had tried out for Faramir, but he looked so elf like, I had to ask him to try out for Legolas and he was a natural. Beautiful actually and we were having trouble finding a perfect elf for that part.”

Viggo laughed. “So elf’s are the beautiful people around here, eh?”

“Yeah, you could say that. Sean! Where are you mate?” he called as he entered the trailer.

“Right here Peter,” he said as the man loomed in front of him.

Peter jumped “Gawd you scared me, this is Viggo, and he’s our new Aragorn, Viggo, Sean Bean, he plays Boromir.”

Viggo held out his hand and was greeted with a warm smile and a genuine welcome. “Its very nice to have some mature company in here with me finally.” He said with a laugh.
“Orlando is nice and all, but he has way too much energy for me,” he said quietly nodding toward the back.

“Where is our elf?” Peter asked looking around the trailer.

“Oh, he’s in getting changed, he’s rather modest for a young kid these days. Well, I need to get going, Viggo, it was a pleasure to meet you, Peter, I will see you on set.”

Sean left the trailer and left Peter alone with Viggo. But they were immediately interrupted by Peter’s assistant, who needed him to go over a scene with Barrie.

“Viggo, will you be okay for a minute?” he asked.

“Sure, go on, I’ll introduce myself,” he said.

“You sure? I hate to leave you alone on your first day.”

“Yeah, go on.” He waved Peter off with his hand. “I’ll be okay.”

Peter looked at him a minute, Okay, I’ll be right back then.”

Viggo stood there for a minute and looked around the trailer. He sat down in the chair and looked around waiting for this Orlando to come out of the bathroom. He picked up the book that was sitting there and started to thumb through it. Hmm he thought The Two Towers.

Suddenly he heard banging and cussing and then someone came barreling out of the room with long blonde hair. “Stupid wig,” he growled. “I hate it, and these contacts drive me nuts.” He stopped his tirade when he saw it wasn’t Sean sitting there but someone totally unexpected.

“Oh…..shhhhit…” he said softly as he realized this was Viggo. His heart was racing as he took in the sight before him, from the sandy blonde locks to his soft blue eyes, to the small scar, which was noticeable on his upper lip. Orlando licked his own as he took it all in.

Viggo sat there stunned himself as he looked on the beauty that stood before him. “You must be Orlando?” he said softly as he stood and held out his hand, a smile gracing his lips.

“Uh…yeah…how did you know?” Orlando asked taking the offered hand and feeling its warmth and strong grip.

“Well Peter and I were waiting for you, and Sean said you were in changing, and Peter said that the elf’s were the beautiful people and you are…certainly a sight to behold.”

“Oh…” is all Orlando could get out as he still shook the hand in front of him. Still staring into the soft blue eyes that were mesmerizing him.” Thanks, it’s the wig.”

Viggo cocked his head as he stared at him and got a quizzical look about him. “Have we met before?” he asked.

“Um… no,” I don’t think so,” Orlando stuttered.

“Oh…you just seem….I don’t know, somewhat….. familiar to me somehow,” he said as he finally pulled his hand away. Feeling very nervous for the first time in a long time. He wiped his sweaty palm on his pant leg. It felt odd, he felt, he wasn’t sure what. He laughed to himself.

“Oh, by the way, I guess I should introduce myself.”

“I know who you are,” Orlando piped up quickly, a little to quickly he thought. God he was so stupid sometimes. Me and my mouth!

“Oh, I didn’t know.”

“Well Elijah…the hobbit. He told us about you,” he stammered trying to make himself look not quite as stupid as he felt.

“Well, I certainly hope it was all good,” Viggo added with a deep laugh.

“Oh yeah, we watched that one movie you did…” he said before he’d given any thought to what he was saying once again.

Viggo arched one eyebrow, “Oh really, and just what one was that?” he asked curiously. “I’ve done several.”

Orlando fidgeted from one foot to the other. “I…I can’t really remember the name of it now,” he said after trying to think of something to say quickly. He pulled at his blonde hair twirling the ends around his finger.

“What was it about?” Viggo asked wondering if it was Indian runner, that would explain the nervousness the kid was showing.

“Umm…” he turned beat red and looked down at his feet. “I…”

“There you are Orlando,” called Peter as he came into the trailer.

Orlando had never been so happy to see the director in his life. “Hey Pete,” he cried and launched into his arms and gave him a big hug.”

Viggo watched the display of affection and realized it wasn’t put on, it was genuine.”

“Did you meet Viggo, Orli?’ he asked after he pried the elf’s arms off of himself, still not use to the closeness Orlando exhibited with everyone.

“Yeah, we met kind of,” he paused looking shy.

“Well…let me introduce you properly then, Viggo, this is Orlando Bloom, Orlando, Viggo Mortensen, our new Aragorn. What do you think? Do you think he will fit the part?”

Orlando looked Viggo up and down and realized he was looking way to long mostly at certain parts. “Um… yeah, I think he will be just great,” he smiled looking up at Viggos face finally and Viggo was captivated by the warmth from his gaze. They stared at each other till Peter interrupted them.

“Well, I’m going to take him to his place so he can get settled in, he’s had a long flight and is exhausted.”

“Well it was nice to meet you Viggo,” he said as he held out his hand again, wanting to feel the mans skin against his.

Viggo took the slender hand again and gave it a slight squeeze, “It was my pleasure Orlando,” he said as he smiled at Orlando. And Orlando, he couldn’t help smiling back into the face that looked so radiant, not old as he thought he might be, but beautiful in fact. From his sandy blonde hair to his bright blue eyes. Of course as an afterthought his frame looked pretty damn good too, from what he could see. Hot damn!

“Were going out for beer later…do you want to come? That is…. if you get rested?” he asked shyly.

“Um, well I’ll think about it.” He replied. Orlando smiled again. “Okay great, hope to see you later then.” With that said he took off out the door and over for some shooting that was left to do for the day.

“Well, he is quite the charmer isn’t he? Viggo commented as he watched Orlando bound out the door.

Peter watched after him, “Yeah, he’s really an amazing young man, he’s had some misfortunes in his life, but you would never know it.”

“Really?” Viggo asked turning to Peter.

“Yeah its all very personal though,” he said quickly hoping he hadn’t said to much already.” He’s a very lively fellow, very friendly, all the cast adore him, very affectionate as you could tell by the big hug I got,” Peter laughed. “I still can’t get use to it.”

Viggo laughed too. He just decided that this had been a good decision to come here, and he was glad, and for some reason he couldn’t explain it though, it may have had something do with the young and most definitely beautiful, Orlando Bloom.

“Well then, let’s get you to your place Viggo so you can get some much needed rest after that long flight you’re going to have a big day tomorrow.”

Viggo nodded and walked out of the trailer with Peter looking to see if he could spot the blonde. He saw him off in the distance talking with the “hobbits” and it seemed they were having a very animated conversation. He shook his head and just before he turned, he noticed Orlando looking his way. Viggo gave a slight nod and Orlando lowered his head and turned looked away quickly. Yep, he decided it was going to be an interesting shoot.

Tbc…..
