| "I tried to have fun, Mr. Frodo. I did. But I couldn’t without you. Can’t I stay here?" "I like this a lot better, Mr. Frodo," Sam said as Bilbo left to get dinner ready. "Mum always said you know when you’re at the right place and I know my place is with you." The two kept themselves occupied for hours reading to each other or listening to Bilbo’s tales of the Elves. Sam closed his eyes as he liked to do when Frodo read, letting that beloved lilt wrap around him and send him off to far distant lands. Bilbo would check up on them often and sometimes see them like that, Sam with a dreamy smile on his face and Frodo with his hands wrapped around the volume, weaving a spell with his words and voice that transported him just as much as the listener. At those times, it seemed to Bilbo that Sam’s light glowed just as brightly as Frodo’s did and the two merged into one. He knew his lad was happiest when he shone like that and he only did in Sam’s presence, his own and Merry’s and now Pippin’s. When Bilbo came in later, he found them napping, their hands still clasped, their heads resting against the headboard and each other. He withdrew quietly. He knew his lad couldn’t be in better hands. Awwww! What a lovely, gentle, tender, sweet story, Antane. Happy Halloween to you! Author Reply: Hannon le, shirebound! I'm always glad when the word fluff draws you into one of my stories! :) Please return to it since I've added a whole new section about an unexpected trick or treater that comes. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |
