Drabble for shirebound

[auntiemeesh]

shirebound asked for wee!Pippin-tween!Frodo (or wee!Merry-young!Frodo). This is a little bit of fluff inspired by the gorgeous view outside the library window right now.

Tears and Laughter

It was a near perfect day with a bright blue sky interrupted by small, puffy white clouds; fresh, new-green leaves practically glowed in the strong sunlight and the sound of laughter drifted on a breeze that made those same leaves dance and sway charmingly.

The perfection was marred only by the tear-stained face that presented itself to Frodo. Little Pippin, still unsteady on his feet, had tripped while running through the grass, and had banged his knee.

Scooping the tiny lad up into his arms, Frodo inspected the wee knee for damage, kissed the almost invisible scrape and set the lad back onto his feet.

“All better?” he asked with a warm smile.

“Better,” Pippin replied with a sniffle before starting to run on short legs. “Catch me!” he demanded a moment later in a high, giggly voice. Frodo, unable to resist such a sweet challenge, raced (so slowly he was barely moving) after the laughing child. It truly was a perfect day.

Yay, glad you liked it. :D

Awwwwww! I love it when wee hobbits are "scooped up"! This is so sweet :D

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Thanks. There's something about wee hobbits that just *demands* scoopage. :D

[ani-no-mouse.livejournal.com]

"Pippin replied with a sniffle before starting to run on short legs. “Catch me!” he demanded a moment later in a high, giggly voice. Frodo, unable to resist such a sweet challenge, raced (so slowly he was barely moving) after the laughing child."

This reminds me of racing with westwindschild's DB when he was three. I told him we were each racing in our own age category so that I didn't have to run so slowly that I was barely moving. It seemed to satisfy him.

Lol! Little kids are so accomodating, aren't they? It's only when they get a bit older that they start to argue about things.

DB

He was a precious wee 3-year old, wasn't he? And so logical, even then! *sighs nostalgically and smiles*

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Thanks and you're welcome! :)

What a lovely drabble. It's always a pleasure to peek in on the hobbits as lads.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

[surgicalsteel.livejournal.com]

Oh, so cute!

That was just lovely !

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[dreamflower]

Oh, how lovely! Frodo taking care of wee!Pip just makes me melt into a puddle of goo. Fluffy, marshmallow-y goo...

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

*scrapes you up and pours you into a dreamflower-shaped mold*

Thanks for the compliment. :)

[westwindschild.livejournal.com]

Oh, so sweet and satisfying! Wee Pippin, tender Frodo and a perfect spring afternoon.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Thanks, dear. :)

[gamgeefest.livejournal.com]

Here by rec on the Wee Hobbits lj. This is such an adorable scene, from the barely-there scrape to Frodo pretending to give chase. Lovely!

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[budgielover.livejournal.com]

Awwwww... You have mastered the Frodo/Pippin appeal, my dear!

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Budgie. :)

[grey-wonderer.livejournal.com]

So sweet! I love that.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Good grief, I haven't written hobbit fluff in ages. It was kinda fun. I'm glad you liked it. :)

[pipspebble.livejournal.com]

PRECIOUS!!!! Wonderful, as always!

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Thank you, m'dear. It's good to know I haven't entirely lost my touch, despite not having written anything hobbity in quite awhile.

I almost didn't include LotR in the options, and then sort of regretted that I did when (inevitably) so many people chose that category. But it's fun to revisit the lads from time to time. And I really do need to work on Luster some more - once I get settled and am at my own computer again, which will be a few more weeks.

[pipspebble.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, please! I've been missing Luster! I may not have time for much anymore, but I will gladly beta the next chapter, if you still want me. I haven't written anything (besides work on the ON) in forEVER. I've become quite disciplined in my old age.

awww...this was so cute! What a perfect day indeed!

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

I came back to read this fluffy sweetness again. *melts all over again*
