I don't own the Hobbit
Fili was never letting his brother talk him into playing in the rain, ever again.
His head ached, he was hot and cold at the same time and his nose was stuffy and every time he sneezed it felt like someone was stabbing his throat with a pointy stick. And every time he ate, his tummy chucked it back up.
His mummy said he had a fever, and he was forced to drink really nasty tasting medicine that made him gag. The worst thing though, was not being allowed to get out of bed unless he needs to use the bathroom.
It was after Fili's midday medicine that a very distressed Kili crept into their shared room, and clambered up onto his brothers' bed, snuggling under the covers with him. Mummy and Uncle Thorin said he wasn't allowed to go see Fili, but that wasn't fair, 'cause Fili was sick and sick dwarves need cuddles and he told his mother and uncle as much several times.
"Fili, you 'wake?" The toddler asked, nuzzling his head into the crook of Fili's neck.
"Whaddya want Kili?" came the very muffled reply and Kili pouted, he didn't like Fili being poorly, and he was going to make Fili better, even if it meant he had to get sick too.
'Cause if there was more poorly in him, there'd be less in Fili and then Fili would be better and if the gobbin's came for him, he'd be strong enough to fight them off, but until he was better, Kili would have to fight them off, and take away the poorly too.
"I was scared, didn't want the gobbins and the wags to get you. So Imma protect you from thems!" The bright grin which accompanied the statement made Fili smile, even though he felt like Mahal had been hammering his head repeatedly.
"S'kay, won't let the goblins get you Kili. Not ever." The golden hair dwarf muttered into his siblings' hair.
"I won't let them takes you either, you is Kili's." The child muttered sleepily.
When their mother came to check on Fili later in the day, her heart was warmed by the sight of her two sons, wrapped in eachother's arms snoring happily.
Her joy was destroyed when not two seconds after she walked in, Kili started sneezing.
It was going to be a long week.
