May It Be An Evening Star

A/N: Edited the beginning paragraph :P

It was three years after their big adventure with The Eye. Everything seemed to finally calm down within Hobbiton. Most of the Hobbits seemed to have labeled the four Hobbits as queer and left them be. Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry didn't care and liked how noone questioned them. They went back to the quiet life of the Shire; Sam going back to being Frodo's gardener and Frodo seemingly having an interest in a lassie, other than finishing Bilbo's book.

"What is so special about babies?" Merry grumbled as he and Pippin strolled through Hobbiton's open hills after visiting Sam, a little bit away from their little Hobbit homes. Little wee Hobbits of all ages ran past them, giggling and laughing.

Pippin hummed in delight as he picked up a red shiny apple from under a tree, rolling it in his hands, "Why they're cute!"

"But all they do is poop and wee themselves! And scream!" Merry kicked up a rock as he tossed his hands in the air out of exasperation.

Pippin shrugged, "Not all of them are that bad." He tossed the fruit in the air and was about to pocket it when one of the smaller children bumped into him. Pippin grinned and gave the apple to the little Hobbit girl, gaining a happy squeal from her. Pippin chuckled, sighing softly as he watched her run to meet up with her friends.

Merry was about to retort but then bit his lip as he picked up an apple from one of the low branches, shining it with his shirt while he shuffled his feet, "Pip.."

"Hm?" Pippin glanced up at his friend from his perch on the tree's thick branch, his shirt full of bright red apples.

Merry suppressed a laugh as he let out a big gush of air, "...Do you...regret..." He took in a shaky breath, feeling his friend's eyes on him, "...Do you regret staying with me? Imeanyoucouldhavehadanylass...!" He mumbled quickly, looking at the ground vainly.

"What?" Pippin frowned as he hobbled over to Merry, trying to keep all of the apples he picked cradled in his shirt.

The older Hobbit coughed, trying again a little bit louder, "Do you regret...loving me?"

Pippin gave him a smile, much to Merry's relief, and chuckled, "Of course I don't regret lovin' you!" He slipped a hand into the lighter brown haired Hobbit's hand and gave Merry a kiss, "I love you so much that my heart just bursts!" He whispered into their kiss as Merry touched their foreheads together, breathing in his lover's scent.

"Oh...I love you Pip..." The older Hobbit moaned as Merry engulfed Pippin in a deep long kiss. Apples dropped to the ground as the younger Hobbit wrapped his arms around his lover's neck, bringing them closer.

After a long, passionate moment, Pippin broke the kiss, gasping for air, "Let's go home."

Merry raised a brow suggestingly and growled, gathering the fallen apples in one swoop into his shirt before wrapping an arm around Pippin, "We're going to have a delicious dinner~"

"And dessert!" The younger Hobbit giggled as they set off toward their Hobbit hole.
