Happy Fíli Friday my guys! Our favourite time of the week. I don’t even remember where I was going with this tbh.
He’s a confident one, our Fíli. We’ve all seen that strut, the way he can command the attention of a room (his little speech in Bag End, anyone?). He doesn’t need to be the loudest to be heard, or more importantly, followed. And breaking the fourth wall a bit, he didn’t need a lot of screen time to make us all fall in love with him. He’s a real gem, our Fíli!
Here’s a thought for you. Just imagine for a moment having all that intensity focused solely... on... you.
Not even in an ‘in bed’ kind of way (though that is an entirely different discussion). I’m talking more in those precious moments right before a first kiss, when it’s livewire eye contact and you’re so close to each other you’re sharing air. When the entire room doesn’t matter anymore because you’re completely lost in him. Those few seconds right before his lips are crashing onto yours, when all of that attention and self confidence is being channeled into him figuring out if you want it too- that you feel the same way- that he has *permission* (he’s big on that, obviously. Dís raised a gentleman.) and to him no one else matters. Not even a little, everyone else be damned no matter what is going on.
You’ll know when he registers that permission, when something flicks on behind those gorgeous blues. Then he kisses you and all bets are off.
Or when it has nothing to do with attraction or kissing or sex. Maybe it’s just the way the rest of the hall falls away when you call his name and he looks your way. Did everyone fall silent, or does his attention just tune the rest of it out for you? Would you forget the rest of the world existed while he had you wrapped up in his arms? Or during a quiet conversation in a loud room?
