Authors note: I don't really know about this. Its just something I though up. Its sort of, if Merry and Pippin and I lived in my house together, sort of. Im not sure what "My world" is. But there it is.
I lay watching them sleep. Pippin curled up on Merrys chest. I an invader, a stranger cutting in on their lives. But I had every right. This was my world. My world created for me and them. Nothing else mattered here. Here, like in no other place, there were allowed to get married. They had gotten engaged earlier that day, when I had told them it was acceptable here. The way they live their life is their business here, not anyone else's. And anyone who means anything to them can join us here. But those who would be disappointed in them, and would try and split them apart can't bother them here. Here we can all be together, Merry, Pippin and I. Together with love. Frodo and Sam are here too, but not with us. They have their own home. They too will be married, and they too are accepted here.
Merry lays awake. He sees me watching them. "He's perfect isn't he?" he asks me, nodding at Pippin. "He's been through so much, and can still be so innocent, and happy." I look at Merry quizzically. "When Pippin was very young, he was raped," he explained. "By his mother boyfriend, an elf. He was but a child. He is still just a child. But he knows the ways of the world. Knows all the hardships it can cause. A few years ago he told me he loved me. I had been hoping for it for years, but I couldn't act on my feelings. I had no idea how Pip would react. What if he didn't love me. What if he though I was like the elf, and going to hurt him? I couldn't risk it. I waited, and as he matured, he grew to love me. And he told me, with the same fear I had. Since then we've been together. Secretly of course. But still he was the target for all the hardships of life. If his family found out about us they would disown him. He's had so much pain. Yet he still is happy. Innocent, even if he's not really innocent deep down. I think its because of me. I don't usually flatter myself like that. But I do think its because of me. He's happy when he's around me. He can truly be himself without fear of rejection or pain. He knows I love him. And I know he loves me. And so we can be silly, and play pranks and games, and be happy together. But when we are apart, it's the worst feeling in the world. I don't ever want him to leave. I want to be with him forever."
"I know," I say to him. "That's why I made this place. For us."
Well, that's it. What did you think? Stupid? Ok? Maybe even good? Please review.
