"Merry...?" Pippin was murmuring softly, not wanting to wake anybody else in the little camp that night. He budged his sleeping roll closer to Merry, pressing against his back. "Merry?" He prompted again.

Merry groaned. He rolled over onto his back, smiling a little at the closeness of he and Pip. He squirmed a little to get comfortable. "Hmm?" He moaned in response, eyes still closed.

"I can't sleep." Pippin stated with a pout. It wasn't much affective, as Merry was still mostly asleep.

"I guessed." He muttered softly, now turning onto his other side, facing Pippin. His eyelids fluttered gently and he glanced down at Pippin with sleep glazed eyes. "Do you want to share my bed with me?" He jested lightly, slowly batting his eyes in an attempt to be more alert. He smirked at Pippin.

Pippin shrugged a little, he didn't know it would be that easy. "If you're offering."

Merry hummed a low laugh, his heavy eyes falling shut again. He didn't say anything after, and his breathing began to become slow and steady.

Pippin pouted. And really stuck out his bottom lip this time. He shuffled closer, so that Merry's warm breath tickled his cheeks. He pondered for second. If he kissed Merry first... And Merry kissed him back, or better yet, gave him another kiss afterwards, that could count, right? Of course it would.

He tilted his head up slightly and pressed his soft lips to Merry's, not giving him tongue. He'd ask if Merry was interested in doing that with him later.

Merry's breathing hitched and he smirked a little. "Imp." He greeted again and opened his heavy eyes. "Is that something we usually do?" He raised his eyebrows at Pippin, still smiling.

"No." Pippin began. "But I'd like it to be."

"It's a little raunchy, Pip." Merry explained, adopting his usual authoritative role.

"I'll show you raunchy."

Merry chuckled and nodded at Pippin. "Alright then."

Pippin blinked. He snuggled in closer. "Alright to what...?" He shot a quizzical look to Merry, a little surprised, but very pleased, with his cousin's response. "Kissing... Or...?"

Merry captured Pippin's full bottom lip between his own warm lips. He gently sucked a little, kissing Pippin teasingly. He broke the kiss after a moment, and smirked at Pippin.

"Well." Pippin whispered, his skin feeling charged and tingly. "That was good."

"Mmhm." Merry hummed again and wrapped his arms around Pippin's waist, cuddling him. "Show me how raunchy you want to be with me tomorrow night, alright?"

Pippin nodded.


"Done!" Pippin grinned at Legolas as he caught up to the elf during the trek to wherever.

Legolas glared down at Pippin. "Wha- What do you mean, done?" He hissed.

"I was kissed. This morning." Pippin explained calmly, still smiling and even blushing a little.

"By?" Legolas demanded, keeping his voice low.

"Merry."

Legolas rolled his eyes. Of course it was Merry. "Figures." Legolas shook his head. "Prove it."

Pippin shrugged and then caught up with Merry, skipping a little to meet Merry's pace. He slowly and secretly brushed his hand across Merry's back, and then their fingers trickled past each other between them. Pippin was whispering to Merry, and as Legolas peered over, Merry was blushing and trying to suppress a suggestive grin by biting his lip.

Legolas concluded that was enough evidence. Pippin seemed truthful. He turned his attention to his own gameplay then. He was furious the little Hobbit had gotten a kiss before him.

"Whatcha think?" Pippin inquired, now back at Legolas' side and breaking his mantra of thought.

Legolas sighed delicately. "Fair enough."

"If you want more proof, just listen out tonight after midnight." Pippin offered with a smirk.

Legolas scoffed. "You're vile."

"Venereal, is the word I think you're looking for."

Legolas scoffed again and felt his blue eyes topple over in an eye roll. He then focused back on his own kiss. He had already picked out his candidate. He deemed Aragorn the most likely to give in to him. He watched as the rugged man led the fellowship. He had always had a strong bond with Aragorn. He had known him for years, and he knew how affectionate the ranger could be.

"When will you be catching up then?" Pippin taunted, earning him a sharp glare from Legolas.

"Tonight." He simple stated, a smirk creeping up his own lips.


The Fellowship had settled again for that night. It was very late and all were aching. There was a silvery stream down by the secluded copse Aragorn had deemed as the safest place to stay. He had also offered to take the watch, too.

"That's humble of you." Legolas began quietly and privately to Aragorn, as the group began setting up their beds and a small fire to cook.

Aragorn smiled smoothly and placed his hand on Legolas' shoulder. "Get some rest, Legolas."

"I don't think I'm ready for that." Legolas extended his arm, gesturing he and Aragorn take a seat. Aragorn nodded and sat down on the large stone slabs. "I'll keep you company."

Aragorn gripped Legolas' shoulder and squeezed affectionately. Kissing Aragorn should be fairly simple, Legolas thought. They spoke quietly for the next hour, as the fellowship settled, growing closer and their voices whispers.

"Do you miss her?" Legolas asked, his tone warm and friendly.

Aragorn smiled. "A little."

Legolas smiled back. He turned to face Aragorn, crossing his slender legs. "Not been gone long enough?"

Aragorn chuckled, nudging Legolas with his shoulder. "That's fairly true." He then thought for a moment. "You end up missing the more physical stuff, you know?"

Legolas nodded softly. "I can understand." He said supportively. "You're a very affection and physically man."

"You noticed?" Aragorn inquired, scanning his eyes across Legolas' face.

"I notice everything." Legolas proudly declared, with a playful wink.

"You're very confident."

"We both are." Legolas then smiled very sincerely, their bond was very raw, and this late night whispering together intensified that. "Have been for years."

"Is it really that noticeable how affectionate I can be?" Aragorn asked gently, his smile a little sheepish.

Legolas laughed lowly, shaking his head. "Not particularly. Only to me."

"That's good."

"Is it?"

Aragorn nodded, now placing his arm on Legolas' shoulder. Almost instinctively, he leaned in. "Yes."

"I like it, really." Legolas admitted, his eyes dropping to Aragorn's lips. He watched them longingly. "It's... Comforting." His voice was so quiet.

"I'm glad..." Aragorn murmured, leaning in also. He bumped noses with Legolas, his rough facial hair skimmed against Legolas' smooth skin, before he tilted slightly and closed the gap, kissing Legolas on the mouth.

A/N: Aw. How sweet. I think there's some feelings between Legolas and Aragorn and Pippin and Merry. That will not stop the game, though! Not at all! Please review, give me some feedback. I write more and quicker! I also take requests! Who should Legolas kiss next? Who should Pippin kiss next? Who do you think will win?
