sam and frodo on the brain. i think sam bundles frodo up into his arms, every night without fail. sometimes, frodo will pull sam in too, settling his head in the crook of his neck. other times, days he may not be as lucid, or if he’s feverish, sam does so regardless. he kisses his head and makes sure he’s alright. he tells him about his day, and about the happenings of the shire, and all their friends. frodo doesn’t have to respond if he doesn’t want to, or if he can’t, but it calms them both down. sam strokes his hair as the pair of them try to sleep, both safe in the thought that they love each other, so so much. i also think that while sam does this affectionately, it is definitely out of protectiveness too, for if anything were to happen, his love is there in his arms. 💭💭💭💭💭💭💭
