DRABBLE: 9. Cloak

9. Cloak
(Middle Earth, Legolas/Gimli)

They’d taken shelter under some trees for the night, but the snow and wind still found them. Gimli shivered. His teeth chattered. His nose ran. He could barely feel his hands, though he had them tucked under his thighs to keep them warm.

“Are you cold?” Legolas asked softly, his words nearly eclipsed by the storm.

“N-nay,” Gimli replied, trying not to sniffle.

Legolas moved to take off a cloak.

“Don’t!” Gimli reached out to stop him. “I gave that to you because you’re ill. You need it.”

Legolas hesitated then reached out, pulling Gimli under the cloak with him.

Drabble Pause!

I'm going to pause in my posting of drabbles while I'm at the con. I just don't want to give myself something to worry about when I'm supposed to be having lots of fangirl fun.

Also, I'm just going to be posting my drabbles to my blog here from now on. Two of my pieces got deleted off the forum. I realize the mods are just trying to keep people safe, and that's a good thing. But it's a little annoying and reminds me of the MANY reasons I stepped away from the blue forum in the first place. So this is the place from now on.

I'm John Laurens in the place to be...

Also also, you might have noticed I closed comments on my LJ posts for recent posts. I'm trying to train myself to migrate to Dreamwidth. I haven't gotten up the courage to delete my LJ yet, but given the state of the world at the moment, I really need to. So this is me making the switch to DW. And I still have a mirror at InsaneJournal as well, though the comments aren't copied there, only the initial posts.
