Chapter Title: Elle wakes
Original Chapter Title: Elle Wakes in Frodo's Care
Elle was peacefully propped up on a tree when she woke up. She saw Frodo a few feet away gazing at the stars on his back. Sensing her gaze he sat up. "Oh, you're awake." He said.
"Did I. . ." Elle began.
"Lose a lot of blood, yes. Lauri told us of your condition."
"Is everyone O.K." the she-Hobbit said with concern.
"Of course." He reassured her.
"I was careless. I should have watched my form." She said placing her movable hand on her face in shame.
"No. It never came to that. You were fine. You saved Pippin. And he is very grateful. He would've stayed with you all night but. . ." he removed her hand from her face.
"But you did." She said with a smile before noticing the bandaging on his hand.
"Your hand! Your hurt!" she immediately seized it with her left arm before wincing in pain.
"Careful you. I'm fine." He stated placing her back into position.
"Did I do that?"
"Of course not." He lied.
"Could I look at what happened to me?" she questioned beginning to take off her own bandaging.
"No. It's pretty bad." Frodo quickly said putting her hand down. For he didn't care to see the gash that the arrow had left in her.
"I won't faint or anything. I can take it." She said starting to sound annoyed.
" But I won't be able to take it again." he said turning away a little embarrassed. She could feel a little warm tear began to trickle down her cheek. She touched his arm and he slowly turned around.
"I'm sorry." She began. " You can't lie very well Mr. Baggins. I know I cut you some how. I could feel it." He then leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek. Looking deeply into his large blue eyes she began again.
" I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry. Please let me help you." He reached over again this time kissing her gently on the lips. A smile spread across her face.
"If I keeping talking Mr. Baggins, will you. . ." This time not taken by so much surprise he kissed her even more affectionately.
" Try to hush you?" Frodo said finishing her sentence. "Of course." Trying to hold his uninjured hand she reached across with a great difficulty.
"You seem to be out of reach." She said smirking. He brought his hand to hers and she put her head on his shoulder. They looked at their grip while their fingers intertwined playfully. He then stopped and looked curiously at her glove. He brought her hand up to her face and began to take it off of her fragile hand. "Please Frodo. It's too. . ."
" It's too incredibly beautiful to be seen by an unworthy suitor? I must say Ms. Took, I am quite offended." He said with charm dripping on his every word.
"Careless." She finished looking painfully into his eyes.
"Nothing belonging to you could be careless. Only gorgeous."
"You promise you won't tell the boys." She said with a sigh.
"Hobbits honor." He said kissing her on the cheek. After removing the prison of dragon leather and methril he uncovered a scarred beauty. He looked at it with sorrowful eyes and kissed it several times before speaking. " It must be yours. Only a hand so tender could take such a beating."
"Whatever am I going to do with you?" She questioned. Before resuming their warm bind.
"You aren't close enough. Please come nearer. I'm cold."
"If I came any nearer this tree would have to sprout another trunk or you would fall off of it. Now get to sleep." Reluctantly she put her head back on his shoulder. After it seemed he was comfortable she sat up again.
"Good night my friend. And sweet dreams." She said kissing him on the lips. He sighed.
" You fickle thing you. Sweet dreams as well." And they slept and dreamed of Hobbit dreams, of rolling hills, comfy holes, and large green doors, and a Shire they both longed for so much.
AN: ELLE: two words, GO ME! ^_^ Lauri, you really should consider breaking something, these guys go for hurt chicks. . .
LAURI: I don't wanna break anything *shudder*. They'll just have to love me in one piece. But I agree "Go Elle!" heeheee And look, we're almost to the reaaaallyyy dramatic bits coming up! *grins* R/R bitte (Bitte is German for Please. ;) )
