Hobbits. Peaceful creatures that live in holes in the ground. No there not smelly or dirty holes, there very homey. As Thorin and Company had accidentally learned when they started out for there very long and unexpected journey. But there is one thing about Hobbits that no one knows. When the simple creatures experience extreme distress or emotions they seem to go into an amnesia like state where the aren't able to remember what or who caused them the great deal of emotion. That goes for almost all emotions except love, hate, happiness, anger, and fear. But, in extreme situations, a Hobbit will forget everything about what happened to cause them such pain.

And that's exactly what happened in Bilbo's situation.

After the Battle Of Five Armies everyone was in shock. Thorin, Fili, and Kili had been mortally wounded. Almost killing all three of them. Fili and Kili got off lucky, if you consider an arrow missing your heart lucky. Thankfully Gandalf and other healers, mostly Elven, were able to get to them in time. Though they did suffer from massive blood loss causing them to go into a coma like state for a week or so.

Thorin on the other hand didn't get off so lucky. While fighting Azog, The Pale Orc, The Defiler, he had suffered head trauma and excessive bleeding in his brain. Though he did end up finally killing Azog, he also endured a deep shoulder wound, a saver stomach laceration, and a harsh gash on his thigh. He was a battered mess and that caused Bilbo to freak out.

The fear of loosing Thorin, the hate for Azog for causing Thorin such pain, the anger at Thorin himself for not being more careful, the happiness of all the memories that arose in Bilbo's mind, and the love. The damn love that kept Bilbo by his side through the harsh words and self-centeredness. Out of everything he stayed, until he forgot.

It had been week and Fili, Kili, and Thorin had all woken from their coma state. But something was wrong. They figured that out the first day that Bilbo came to visit.

"Fili, Kili how are you doing?"Bilbo walked in with a gleeful smile on his face.

"Oh, Bilbo! How are you doing? Gandalf said that you didn't seem right a few days ago. Are you okay now?"Kili asked him redirecting the question.

"Oh, I'm fine. I just had a head-ace the other night, everything's fine with me. How's your chest? Looks like it hurts,"Bilbo gave him a remorseful look."I should have used my ring. If I had you boys might have been less injured then you are now, but you are lucky. You could have been worse off. Like that fellow over there,"Bilbo pointed at Thorin.

"Yeah, Uncle sure did get a beating!"Fili and Kili laughed as Bilbo eyed them curiously.

"I didn't know you have an Uncle! Who is he?"Bilbo asked waiting for their response. That got them, even Thorin, looking at Bilbo with confused expressions. How could Bilbo not remember their hot headed uncle?

"Bilbo, it's Thorin. Don't you remember Uncle Thorin?"Fili pointed at Thorin sitting on the other side of Kili. Bilbo tilted his head and pointed at Thorin as if trying to confirm it."Yes, don't you remember?"Bilbo shook his head no."Who and what do you remember?"

"Ori, Dori, and Nori. Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur. Oin and Glowin. Balin and Dwalin. And you two, Fili and Kili. Oh! And there was Gandalf. And the bow man from lake town. Beorin the shape shifting bear. The rock giants and the goblin king. Everything, but no one named Thorin. I don't know who that is,"Bilbo gave a half smile, though everyone could tell that it was a fake smile.

"Hobbit! How do you not remember me?"Thorin spoke making Bilbo jump. Out of the blue Bilbo grabbed his head, but a moment later he let go, shaking his head again.

"I'm sorry, I can't seem to remember you. Anyway I must be going. Ori asked me to help him with his scribing. He needs help describing everything,"Bilbo gave them a wave and a smile before leaving. All the dwarfs just couldn't figure it out what was going on.

"Ah, I see that you're all awake and well,"the three dwarfs looked up to see Gandalf crouching through the door way,"I saw Bilbo heading down the hall a moment ago. Did he stop into check on you?"

"Yes he did, but he can't remember Thorin,"Kili explained to him. Gandalf seemed confused for a moment before nodding in understanding.

"Ah I see. He has changed a lot hasn't he? And I do believe it's your fault Thorin. Though you may not know it Hobbits have odd emotions. When their emotions get to out of hand there body has a tendency to make them forget. Anger, fear, happiness, hate, and in this case love. Bilbo Baggins of Bagend has fallen for the lost king of the lonely mountain. And the only way to undo this is for you to make him remember. I will enjoy seeing how this will go,"Gandalf chuckled at Thorin's stunned face.

Though in Thorin's defense it's never easy to find out that the one that you've admired from afar returns your feelings. And it was even harder realizing the one you love completely fucking forgot you.

Love is never easy is it?
