"So you and Bofur have been dating for six months?" Ori asked jumping on his brother's bed.
Nori groaned and rolled over and put his arm over his face. Bofur chuckled and looked up at Ori. Ori was wearing acorn footies and sitting on one of Nori's and Bofur's legs.
"Actually lad it's been a little over seven." Bofur said sitting up and pulling Ori into his lap. "So Ori a lil birdie told me tha' ye are gonna start school this week."
Ori looked down at his hands and nodded his head. "Dori says I need to go to school with other kids because I'm seven now. He wants me to start even though the years almost over."
Bofur smiled and lifted Ori's chin so he could look in his eyes. "Listen Ori you're gonna be just fine. You're a nice young lad and very smart."
Ori smiled and wrapped his arms around Bofur's neck and buried his face in his hair, Bofur chuckled and laid back down and rubbed Ori's back. Nori leaned up on his arm and smiled, Bofur was laying on his back with his eyes closed and had Ori laying on him with his head on his left shoulder. Ori was sucking his thumb and had clearly fallen back to sleep while Bofur rubbed his back.
Nori smiled and leaned over to kiss Ori's head and then Bofur's nose. He got out of bed and pulled pajama pants on and went to the kitchen. He made himself a cup of coffee then sat at his counter and read the newspaper. He looked up when he heard the door opened and sighed.
-Here comes a fight.- Nori thought to himself as he put his coffee down.
Dori came walking into the house with a few bags of groceries and set them down in the kitchen. He looked up and raised an eyebrow at Nori, Nori smiled in return.
"Ori still in bed?" Dori asked walking to Ori's room.
"-sigh- He's sleeping on Bofur in my room." Nori said standing ready to hear the nagging.
Dori walked into Nori's room and stopped. He saw Bofur on his side, with a shirt on, facing the door with one hand on the back of Ori's head and the other over Ori's side reaching towards where Nori would of been laying. He let a small smile grace his lips then turned to walk back to the kitchen.
"Do you have any chamomile tea? I'd like to have a cup while I wait for Ori to get up."
Nori raised an eyebrow and pointed to a drawer in the kitchen. He watched Dori walk into the kitchen and pull the tea out. He took a drink of his coffee and studied his brother for a few moments, he finally placed his cup down and sighed.
"Why aren't you yelling about Bofur sleeping with Ori? Better why aren't you yelling about Bofur being here with Ori?"
"Honestly Nori all you think I do is yell at you." Dori said turning towards his brother. "I happen to very much like Bofur and wish him to stay in your life. Ori also very much likes Bofur. You should've heard him the other day, hehe, he was going on about how you and him would get married."
Nori spit his coffee out and started to choke. "Wh-what?"
"What?" Dori asked raising an eyebrow.
"He was talking about Bofur and I getting married?"
"Yes. What's so wrong with that idea?"
"We've been dating seven months!" Nori said throwing his hands up.
"True. It would be better to wait longer." Dori said nodding his head. "You seem a little...disgusted...by the idea of marrying Bofur. Is everything alright between you two?"
Nori sighed rolled his eyes and put his head in his hands. "I don't know Dori...everything is perfect."
"What's so wrong with that?" Dori asked confused.
