Summary: See title.

A/N: I couldn't resist. Had to write another one today. Oh my. Well, here's Merry's awakening. Yay!



One fine morning, Meriadoc Brandybuck woke up gay.

Not that he noticed at first, of course.

Merry was just being his usual happy-self and singing loud, fun songs with Pippin. He was also making Sam laugh, when Sam wasn't worrying over Frodo, that is.

Frodo. That was the first sign to Merry that something wasn't right. He was having these- Thoughts. And Frodo was still chipper. (This being the morning after Frodo woke up gay, of course. Yes, Frodo was still awake gay.)

Merry didn't understand why all of a sudden he was thinking those thoughts about Frodo, but he was.

For a while, though, Merry ignored them. He continued being super-chipper, matching Frodo's chipperness. They sang songs loud, and they pranced around the camp, once managing to scare poor Sam, who was now frightfully concerned about his Mr. Frodo, and Merry too.

Soon, though, Merry couldn't ignore the Thoughts for long. They were becoming stronger, and soon, Merry just wanted to grab Frodo and kiss him. Luckily, Merry was smart enough not to.

Finally, as they traveled that day, Merry became so agitated that he pulled Frodo aside.

"Frodo, I've- I think I have a problem. See, I'm having these- Thoughts."

Merry didn't expect Frodo to say what came out of his mouth next.

"You too?" he said, delighted. "I thought I was the only one who had woken up gay. I had felt so lonely."

"Woken up gay?"

"Who have these Thoughts been about?"

Merry was blushing horribly. Frodo understood.

In a whisper, he said, "Same here, dear Merry-"

Merry perked up. He couldn't have been happier in his life.

The rest of the day's traveling, they went side by side. No one suspected anything, seemingly, except one.
