Up!

Summary:

Inspired by mynameisjessejk's Otter Mayhem 'verse, art of Elladan in his otter form asking to be picked up and snuggled. Grandfather Maedhros obliges.

Notes:

All you need to know is that Elladan can skinchange into a sea otter in this 'verse, and gets Sad if he isn't snuggled regularly enough.

Work Text:

A sea otter is sitting up and reaching up with his front paws in the universal request to be picked up. He looks a bit forlorn.

Up! Elladan wants up! Is there anyone around who has time to give this young otter gentleman the hugs and attention he craves? (He has not been snuggled since before lunch and is wilting fast.)

The same otter has been picked up by an elf with long red hair, and is now smiling and waving cheerfully over the elf's shoulder.

"Yes, hello," said Maedhros, smiling affectionately as he bent down and scooped his grandson up into his arms. Elladan chirred happily and promptly hooked his webbed back paws into Maedhros's belt, taking some of his not insubstantial weight from Maedhros's shoulders. Maedhros pressed a fond kiss to the top of Elladan's head as he settled him against his shoulder, Elladan's front paws wrapping snugly around his neck as he did so.

"Were you being neglected?" Maedhros asked, half teasing, half sympathetic, but having missed out on the twins' childhood, he was glad he could still indulge his grandsons in such a way, Elladan's happiness clear in the way he chattered close to Maedhros's ear. 

Not anymore! Elladan said, everything right with his world once again.
