That… is so cute. Seriously.

Pippin: loves it. So much. Snuggling is nice, what? Also, the Dwarf seems to be twice as warm as any hobbit, so he’s never chilly when Gimli decides to use him for a cuddle-toy.

Merry: a wriggler. Gimli ends up wrapping thick arms around him just to get him to stay still. 

Boromir: bemused. At first, he thought it was just the normal sleep-back-to-back thing he has done on countless operations… and then Gimli goes the cuddle. It’s not… bad. He hasn’t really been hugged like that since Faramir was young.

Frodo: …huh. So that’s what Bilbo was on about. 

Sam: What a racket! Could give the Gaffer a run for his money in the snoring department – and that’s after a bellyful of his home brew, too! 

Legolas: ewwwwwwwwww he smells nice though EWWWWWW he smells like woodsmoke and earth and leather and honest sweat and EWWWWWWWW he has such thick arms EW EW EW EW EW and no I am not shifting uncomfortably shut up Aragorn

Aragorn: *headdesking all the way to Gondor*
