FIC: "Briefs or Boxers?" by Febobe (1/1, G)

[febobe]

I suppose this could be PG if you're squinting at it, but as usual, this is intended in my standard no-sex, no-slash, no-profanity way. I don't have all my usual disclaimers and such attached ATM, but no, I don't own these guys, I just borrow them from JRRT. This is from B2MEM this year, and the info on that is below the cut. :)

Enjoy! Oh, BIG WARNING...humor. You may not wish to be drinking anything when you read this. I mean, maybe it's not that funny to y'all, but I certainly wouldn't want to drink anything while reading this. ;)

"I don't know about this," said Frodo, looking critically at his reflection in the full-length mirror. "I don't think I like briefs very well."

"You could always try boxers," said Aragorn. "Shall I hand you some?"

"If you can do it without turning round," said Frodo, frowning. "I can do without anyone seeing me like this. Pity you can't take them back. I don't suppose Pippin could try them?"

"Pippin is larger than you these days," said Aragorn. "I do not think they would fit anyone else in the house. Do not worry, though. They are not expensive, and I did not get many, not being sure which you would prefer."

"Boxers it is, then," said Frodo. "Here, I'll take them."

Aragorn handed a pair of green and navy plaid boxers in a miniature size around to Frodo, never turning his head.

"Oh!" said Frodo. "I *like* these." Stepping at once out of the briefs, he abandoned them on the floor and sat down on the bed before leaning over to pick them up, setting them aside and putting first one leg, then the other into the boxer shorts. At last he stood up and admired himself in the mirror. "Now *that*," he said proudly, "is something more like. Let's get more of *this* kind, please."

"How do they fit?" asked Aragorn.

"Quite nicely, thank you. May I wear them now?"

"That is why I removed the tags already. Can I turn around yet?"

"Yes. I don't look so ridiculous in these. Those briefs were *awful*." Frodo made a face. "I had half a mind to fling them at your head, they were so awful."

"Thank you for restraining yourself." Aragorn turned around, not quite managing to suppress a grin. "I shall take these away, then. Unless you have changed your mind."

Frodo went furiously red. "NO. And I'll thank you to forget all about those horrid things."

"Very well, then." Aragorn picked up the briefs with a grin. "Too bad they aren't quite my size. I rather prefer this sort."

This was cute. :) I admit I can squint and see a wee bit of slash. ;)

Oh, horribly enough I could see slash potential in about three or four places at least in that ficlet. ;) I swear, you and LB are bad influences! But I wasn't changing it b/c (a) I didn't intend it to be slash, so I'm letting the reader handle that, and (b) there's not really many ways to handle this scene without slash potential! I mean, it's Frodo in his UNDERWEAR! ;)

But thank you. :) So glad you deem it cute! :D I really had fun writing it. :D

Hugs,
Febobe :)

You know what, though? That's what slashers do with anything. Look at any fandom. It's not about your intention, it's about the reader's interpretation.

Don't let it bother you.

I could see slash watching The Ten Commandments.

And I do. ;)

This was really funny!

*snort* Those Gondorian shops certainly have everything a hobbit might need (or refuse), don't they? *giggles*

Oh, I can just see Frodo in those boxers. And I would surely love to see him in person. Aragorn's the lucky one.

*giggles* That's cute! Not surprised at either of their choices.

This was very nice drabble it painted a good visual picture. Moit is right us slashers can see it anywhere and everywhere, mostly because we want to see it.

I loved this little ficlet...too cute.
