Frodo and Merry One-Shots

Tell Me You're Beautiful

I nestled my head in Merry's warm lap. Merry trapped me in his tender arms. We were siting on a large, green hill that was overlooking the village of Hobbiton. It was quite a beautiful sight.
The both of us looked up at the night sky and noticed that there were many white stars casting their heavenly light above us. I was mesmerized by them.
"Oh my goodness. Those stars are absolutely beautiful." I murmured. Merry grinned and nodded his head. "They are indeed. But, they are not as beautiful as you, Brianna."
I didn't know what to say. My cheeks had turned a light shade of red. "No, they're not." I said, modestly. Merry clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Brianna." I gazed up at Merry with a worried expression on my face. "Wh-What, Merry?" I stuttered. "What?"

"You are very beautiful. You know that. Don't you?" "Well...I....I..." A frown grew upon the hobbit's face. He clicked his tongue again. "Tell me that you think you're beautiful. Tell me, Brianna." Merry's voice drifted into a whisper. "Tell me."
I let out a soft sigh and shrugged my shoulders. "Alright. I'll say it. I think I'm beautiful." Merry raised his eyebrows. His silvery blue eyes sparkled. "You think you're beautiful?" "I mean...I...I...I am beautiful. Yes. I'm beautiful. I'm beautiful." There was a nervousness in my voice.
Merry's frown turned into a wide grin. "Yes. Yes you are." he chuckled. I let out a soft chuckle.
Merry gently brushed my hair over my ears and kissed me on the back of my head a few times. He rested his curly head on top of my shoulder and shut his eyes. He was still smiling. "I love you so much, Brianna. So...much. So much. So much."
I chuckled, nervously. "I love you, too, Merry." "I know you do. I know." Merry whispered.
