Two Hearts
You said you would wait for me
But something went wrong
The house is empty
All pictures gone
I knew you would come back one day
Our love was so strong
The past behind us
Is here you belong
Cause I'm deep inside of you
Deep inside of me
I always knew
We would always be
Two hearts forever
One heart alone
I need to know your love is mine
Two hearts forever
One heart alone
I won't let go of you this time
You could of talked to me
What changed your mind
I could have been there by your side
You thought you could walk away
But you know that's a lie
Cause loneliness is hard to hide
It's so easy to surrender
And to face all this in your way
You must hold on
For love we must hold on
Two hearts forever
One heart alone
I need to know your heart is mine
Two hearts forever
One heart alone
I won't let go of you this time
You know that heart is mine
Two hearts forever
One heart alone
I need to know your love is mine
Two hearts forever
One heart alone
I wont let go of you this time
No no no no
Two hearts forever
One heart alone
I wont let go of you this time
Take this heart of mine
Frodo smiled as he waved Merry off.Merry grinning waved back and started walking back to Brandyhall singing an old song Bilbo taught him.Waving his long wooden walk stick around he soon disappeared over the hills.Sighing Frodo dropped his care free mask and his face showed a mixture of emotions.Sadness,love,sympathy and maybe the most strange of them all,hope.
"Mr Frodo?"Frodo heart leapt as he reconised his gardeners voice.
"Trying to creep up on me Sam Wise?"Frodo said with a hint of mischief in his voice.He spoke without turning around.Sam laughed.A noise which Frodo will never tire of.
"Now would I do such a thing Mr Frodo?"Sam required sensing Frodo was in a good mood.Laughing Frodo turned round to see Sam.
"Well Sam I have a job to do and your going to help me."Frodo announced and walked back into his home.Sam rolled his eyes and followed.
"Please????????????Pretty please with a cherry on top..mmmmmmmmm cherry's."Pipin's mind went blank at the thought of food.His mother rolled her green eyes.
"Pippin,Pippin,Pippin."She tutted and patted Pippin softly on his head and in his golden brown curls.Padlin herself had soft golden brown curls that tumbled past her shoulders.Her green eyes sparkled with mirth even at her age.She wore a simple cotton blue dress that fell past her feet.
"You have already eaten dinner and we aren't having supper tonight as your father has gone to stay at Tidto village to restock our pantry."Padlin smiled softly at her youngest child and only son and kissed his head.
"Aw okey.I will go see Merry and see if he is having some!"Pippin said laughing as his own green eyes sparkled.Still smiling,Padlin slowly nodded her head.
"If Frodo doesn't mind,could you stay there for the night as I don't want you walking around at night."Padlin said firmly then playfully pushed Pippin towards the door.
"Okey okey!!I'll just get changed and off I will go!!"Pippin sang and skipped up the stairs and into his room.
"Hmmm I think I will wear my pale green shirt,my dark green jacket and brown leggings as Merry always likes that outfit!"Pippin's silly grin suddenly vanished as he sat heavily on his bed.He then felt tears coming to his eyes so he throw himself into the pillow.'Merry won't love you,you nit.Cousin love.Family love.But I guess I have to be thankful that I am close to him and his best friend.It is better to keep my love for him hidden then for him to be disgusted with me and never speak to me again.That would just be awful and he couldn't live with that.'Sitting up,Pip rubbed his eyes and finished get dressed.His love for Merry was controlling his life.He would dress nicely just so Merry would look at him.After combing his curls and was pleased with it,he grabbed his cloak and walking stick and starting walking to Merry's.Watching the rolling hills of the Shire and it's scenery made his mind float and swell with happiness and pride.Bearing a silly grin he came to Merry's house and knocked on the large wooden doors of Brandyduck hall.He heard someone's footsteps on the other side of the door and stepped basck.Sure enough,the door swung open.
"Hello young Master and welcome to the Brandyducks Hall.May I help?"The hobbit butler asked.He was wearing black trousers,white shirt with a black jacket.His black hair was curly like Pippin's.
"Hullo yourself!May I speak to my cousin Merry?"Pippin spoke in his tookish accent and grinned.
"I am afraid that is not possible at the moment.His father is teaching him in the study and have asked not to be disturbed for anything."The butler showed a small smile.Pippin sighed.
"Ok.Thank-you I will try again tomorrow.Bye."Pippin smiled and walked back down the gravel path.He knew Merry's father was going to take ages as this wasn't the first time it has happened.
"Oh well.Let's go see Frodo and Sam."Pippin decided to himself as he turned and started marching to Bagend whistling a tune Bilbo had taught him when he was little.
~~~~~~
"Pippin is coming!We need to pay their butler for this!Ready Sam?"Frodo yelled as he watched the path's view from his window.He could see his youngest cousin walking.
"Ready to go Mr Frodo!"Sam called back.Frodo smiled to himself.He didn't know if Sam would agree to the idea but there you go.Frodo jumped up and started towards his round,green door.Soon enough he heard a knock.Smiling he throw open the door.Pippin jumped high into the air.
"Hullo young Pippin!"Frodo beamed and pulled Pip into a strong embrace.
"Hullo yourself!You scared the food and of me you nit so now I'm hungry!"Pippin laughed and hugged Frodo back.Laughing,Frodo released Pip and beckoned him in.Pipi jumped through as Frodo closed the door.
"So what brings you here?"Frodo asked as he walked to his table with Pip right behind him.
"I was wondering if you and Sam wanted to come to the Prancing Pony with me and stay there for the night?"Pip asked as he seated himself.Frodo looked worried then stood up.
"I would love to come but you see,Sam is ill."Pip stood up shocked.
"What's wrong?Will he be ok?"Pip asked as his childish grin vanished.
"Come and see."Frodo said as he then walked to the first out of two master bedrooms.Putting a finger to his lips he slowly opened the door.Pip gasped.Sam had red boils all over his skin and his hands looked swollen.He groaned and turned his head to his beloved Frodo and Pip.
"How are feeling Sam?"Pippin asked as he knelt by the bed.Sam coughed and turned to face him.
"I should be up and running in a few days."Sam replied.His voice was course and faint.He suddenly burst into a fit of coughs.Frodo ran to his side and gave him a spoonful of medicine.
"I was going to go the Prancing Pony with Pip but you seem bad so I will stay with you."Frodo said in a quiet and caring voice.Pip came and stood behind Frodo.
"Don't worry about it Sam."Pippin said gently.
"Oh but please take Mr Frodo.He needs a rest and I need some shut eyeIt will do him good.I have all of my medicine so I should be fine.Please go Mr Frodo."Sam whispered to them as he lent back onto his pillow.
"Are you sure Sam?I don't mind staying."Frodo said as he looked at Sam.Sam turned so he could see the two hobbits again.
"Please Mr Frodo.It will do you good."Sam smiled weakly and turned back.He closed his eyes.Frodo stood up and left the room with Pippin behind him.He closed the door and walked to the table again.
"Looks like I'm coming with you!"Frodo smiled and got his cloak and stick.Putting some coins into his pocket he turned to face Pippin who looked worried.
"You don't have to come if you don't want to."Pippin said in an understanding voice.
"It's ok.I will come other wise I'm stuck here not having any shut eye cos of his coughing!"Frodo grinned and headed towards the door.Pippin shook his head,smiled and bounded after him.He knew that if Merry was ill he wouldn't leave his side as he lo-.'Now that's enough of that foolish Took.'he scolded himself as Frodo pulled over a carriage.
~~~~
It was late.Very late.Frodo had managed to get Pippin pickled out of his mind and also not drink as much so he was sober.On Pip's fifth ale they had decided to ask each other questions about themselves and life.
"Well Frodo.It's your turn to ask me a question."Pip slurred his words as he had another sip of ale.Frodo grinned.
"Ok,ok let me think.I know!Which lucky girl from the Shire has caught your fancy?"Frodo laughed and swayed trying to act drunk.The question made Pippin silent and act sober.
"I'm not into girls you see Frodo."Pippin sighed into his drink at his confession.
"Oh.Really?So who do you like?"Frodo asked trying to fake surprise.
"Well,I am very close to him."Pippin muttered as he gulped down some more ale.
"Merry?"Frodo asked as he also sipped at his ale.Pippin's eyes opened wide.
"How did you know?Am I too obvious?You must be ashamed at me."Pippin said and his eyes filled with tears.Frodo grabbed Pip's hand.
"Now listen here young Took.There is no reason to be ashamed of being gay you nit!"Pip went bright red at gay.
"I'm not getting you?"Pip said,confusion in his eyes.Frodo laughed and leaned closer on the table and whispered to Pippin.
"Well I'm not ashamed to be gay."Frodo said and leaned back.For the second time Pip's eyes flung open wide.
"W-what?Your gay?Who do you like?"Pippin was curious and happy he wasn't the only gay hobbit.He still cringed at that word though.Frodo laughed again and swayed in his chair.
"You mean you haven't guessed yet?You are indeed a foolish Took!"Frodo grinned as it dawned on Pippin.
"Sam?"Frodo nodded then shuddered at the memories of Merry and his idea of Gollum.Pippin was about to sat something when the inn keeper came up to them.
"The inn is closing so if you have booked a room please leave now."He smiled,collected their empty glasses and vanished in the crowd of the drunk hobbits and humans.Pippin gulped down the rest of his drink and stood up.Standing up was one thing,walking was another.Seeing Pippin sway dangerously Frodo rushed to his side and helped him up the stairs to their shared room.
Frodo was fast asleep on the other side of the room and Pippin laid awake in the glow of the candle.'Loving a lass is one thing.Loving lad is another thing but my cousin?He is my own flesh and blood.Well,some of it.To tell him my true feelings would destroy our close friendship we have now.I sometimes wish we weren't related but then would we be as close as we are now?I don't know.Even if he is into lads,he has a fair pick of them.I doubt he would look at me twice.It would be horrible to see him with a las but even worse to see him with another lad.He is 8 years my elder.I am his cousin.I can't imagine life without him.His friendship and family love for me has lit my candle in my heart and to destroy that by saying the truth would put out the only light I have left.So let the candles burn.'
So has this lived up to your expectations?If not tell em why and I will fix it!But no flames as that is mean.Here is another sneaky peek into the next chappie.
Sneaky Peak
Chapter 3
The Devils Hand
"Merry is having a big party!Are you coming Pippin?"Sam asked as he finished trimming up the roses.
"Yup.Food,mayhem with Merry?How would I not be there?"Pippin laughed as he swung his legs as he sat on the windowsill.
"I am not sure you and Merry will be together at the party for long."Sam said as he stood up and whipped his brow.
"Why?"
"He will be made to be dancing with wealthy and beautiful lasses."
Oh no!Can Pippin put himself through the agoney of seeing Merry's hand on another? You will have to find out more in the next chappie.And to get the next chappie you have to review!Go on you know you want to!!
