The Hobbit Imagines IV

Imagine Aragorn having hiccups

Imagine from imaginexhobbit: Imagine Aragorn trying to give orders, except he has the hiccups.

Because the imagines in this book are all chosen by me I know that some of you will find it lacking some characters. Everyone knows I am not a big fan of elves and a big lover of dwarves. Especially one or two of them.

So I will try to add some other characters every now and then. Like this one, which made me laugh when I saw it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The road ahead was long and dangerous. Everyone knew it.

Still, they were here. All of them were still here.

None of them knew exactly how they had managed to survive the several attacks. The underfed hobbits. But seriously, who ate that much on a regular day anyway?

And when the hobbits were quiet he had to keep an eye on Boromir. All had seen the flicker in his eyes when he first laid his eyes on the one ring. His hunger for power, for strength, couldn't be denied. And thus shouldn't be taken lightly.

Aragorn had his hands full with them.

When Legolas also said he would come along he had been glad. At least there would be one grown-up who he didn't have to look after.

Until the first fight between the elf and the dwar broke out. Granted, it was only an orc-killing fight but still... Everything was a competition based on race for the two of them.

He wasn't a ranger anymore.

Now he could be called; Aragorn, the almighty babysitter.

He wasn't sure what was going on now but Legolas and Gimli were in some kind of argument.

Again.

Pippin and Merry were complaining about lunch.

Again.

Boromir was staring creepily at Frodo.

Again.

Frodo and Sam were sitting too far away.

Again.

This time Aragorn couldn't control himself. For how long were they going to act like this? They weren't even halfway through to Mordor!

Where was Gandalf?

Mister "I will go with you Frodo. You should be protected Frodo. You need a wizard by your side Frodo" was nowhere to be seen! And the hobbit just kept doing stuff he wasn't supposed to do!

How much patience did Gandalf think he possessed?

He couldn't even remember how many times Aragorn had to warn him.

"Frodo, don't put on your ring. It will let the ringwraiths know where you are."

Frodo puts on the ring when nothing is wrong.

"Frodo stay close to me or Legolas. Never stray too far from us."

Frodo makes it his personal job to do the exact opposite.

"FRODO! LOOK OUT!"

Frodo keeps on walking, looking back over his shoulder, falling into a river.

"AND NOW IT'S ENOUGH!" Aragorn shouted.

His voice carried over the field as a loud thunder storm. The others froze, turning their heads to see what has upset their leader.

"Where is the danger?" Gimli growled, reaching for his axe.

Aragorn closed his eyes to collect some of the patience that he had left. "There is no danger, put your axe away master dwarf" he said, barely hiding his annoyance.

Legolas and Boromir both looked at Aragorn with a mix of concern and confusion.

"What we are going to do now is *hick*" Aragor waited a moment, raising his finger to let the others know he wasn't done talking yet.

Pippin and Merry frowned, not knowing what was wrong. "Are you alright there?" Pippin asked.

Aragorn nodded. "What I was saying. We are going to move o- *hick*." Seriously? Just breathe in, and breathe out. Calmly so you don't - *hick*.

The hobbits started chuckling. When Legolas noticed, he slowly shook his head with a stern frown. Now wasn't a good time to make fun of their leader. If there ever was.

"Listen to me" Aragorn said a little louder. Finally.

He sighed deeply. "I want you all to pack your things and - *hick* *hick*."

"Do you want us to move on?" Boromir tried to help out.

"Or do you want us to stuff his mouth full with whatever we can find?" Gimly offered, pointing at Legolas.

"No *hick*" Aragorn answered quickly.

"Maybe you want us to catch food?" Legolas asked.

"No! He wants us to make up camp so that we can stay here for a few more days!" Pippin said excitedly. The other hobbits cheered with him as they went off to make camp.

Aragorn put his hands in the air to show he wasn't done but the hobbits didn't pay attention to him anymore.

"No, what I want is *hick*. I just want to say *hick* *hick* For the love of *hick* I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!" he bellowed.

Sam dropped some wood that he had just picked up. And the attention was back on Aragorn.

The field had fallen silent. Nature knew very well when a storm was brewing.

"JUST STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING!" Aragorn continued. Screaming seemed to stop the hiccups.

"You don't want us to make camp?" Frodo asked innocently.

Aragorn stomped forward. "I WANT YOU ALL TO BEHAVE LIKE THE ADULTS YOU ARE!" He looked around the small group.

"YOU!" he shouted, pointing at Boromir. "Find a tree if you can't *hick* control your desire for power!"

Boromir was a bit taken aback by this. "Pardon me?"

But Aragorn wasn't in the mood for explanations. "AND YOU!" he now pointed at Frodo and Sam. "How many times do I have to remind you that your life is in danger? For once in your life *hick* just listen to *hick* what others tell *hick* you. You may live a lot *hick* longer!"

Frodo looked down at his feet. "I will try Aragorn."

"AND YOU SCANDRALS! STOP WHINING ABOUT THE FOOD! WE ARE ALL HUNGRY!" Aragorn shouted at Merry and Pippin.

"We just need more because w- Ouw!" Pippin said as Merry shoved him.

"And you" Aragorn said, slowly turning towards Legolas and Gimli.

"Me?" Legolas asked confused.

"Yes you. Stop *hick* arguing about everything. I have had it up until *hick* here with that pitty feud between your race *hick* and his" he said pointing at Gimli. "We all get it; dwarves and elves don't get along. Well, *hick* whoop-di-doo. Can you tell us something new?"

Aragorn took a deep breath, breathing out heavily through his nostrils. "Now, if you *hick* excuse me, I am going to sleep right over there. Don't *hick* disturb me."

He stomped away from camp, not looking back to check on his man. Finally, peace and quietness.

Sam kicked at a pebble near his feet.

"Well, that was interesting, wasn't it?" Gimli was the first to speak.

"Aye, interesting and amusing. I can't take him seriously that way" Boromir said, turning around to look for a tree like Aragorn had suggested. Maybe it would help.
