It's complicated, this fic. Two SLASH drabbles together. Merry and Pippin are a drabble. Sam and Frodo are a drabble. Based mainly on the bit in FotR, where they're asleep in Bree.
It's weird, and I think they're too short but, as ever, improvements are welcome.
Something completely un-related, but important… to me, none the less – Is EastEnders getting more interesting, or is it just me? Andy's annoying me though, they should get shot of him…
ENJOY!
Oh, I forgotted this. Sam's girl – glad you understood my fic! I do try to make them easy to read for the sleepy : )
He sleeps
Merry sleeps with his head half on and half off his pillow. More often than not, his mouth is slightly open, and if Pippin is lying close enough, he wakes up with a damp ear or neck or cheek while Merry was breathing while asleep. But Pippin doesn't really mind.
When Pippin sleeps, he has one hand lying underneath his pillow. And he can't sleep properly unless a hand, Merry's hand, has been holding his. Otherwise, Pippin knows he will wake up in the morning, bed and hand cold, with tears in his eyes. And Pippin can't take it anymore.

Sam used to sleep on his back, one arm above his head, and one arm across his stomach. But over the years, that's changed. The arm over his stomach has moved to his side, lying on the bed, leaving a gap between his arm and body. A gap that only Frodo Baggins fits into perfectly.
Frodo has always slept in curled on his side. In the summer, he has both arms raised above his head, and in the cooler months, arms folded behind his head, under his pillows. But recently, his arms have been reaching out. For something he can't sleep without holding.
