AN: Here is a multi-chapter story consisting of a bunch of one-shots. I was recently watching the special features on AUJ EE and caught part of the audition for Gloin all of the actors did and what was said got me thinking. This is just a bunch of one-shots of Kili not being able to keep a secret. The quote that I got this idea from is at the beginning of this chapter. In this chapter, Fili is 17 (4 in human years) and Kili is 12 1/2 (3). Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing of The Hobbit.
"You did not think young Kili could keep a secret to himself?"
"Oh no, that would be too much to ask."
And so it was learned from very early on by anyone who came in contact with the young heirs of Durin. If you had a secret you could tell Fili, but under no circumstances should you tell Kili. And this idea held strong until the day they died.
KILIFILIKILIFILIKILIFILI
Kili was a young Dwarfling, only 12 1/2, but he was bright; he knew what a secret was and he knew how important they could be. He was sitting on the floor next to the fireplace when he was entrusted with his first secret. The front door opened and his Uncle Thorin walked into the house causing Kili to look up from his wooden toy. Thorin pulled off his jacket and hung it on one of the hooks next to the door, seeming to move a little slower than normal. A broad smile appeared on Kili's face and he dropped his toy and jumped to his feet.
"Uncle!" he shouted as he ran to Thorin and jumped into the air at the Dwarf. Thorin quickly caught his youngest nephew for fear he would hurt himself, but a loud, painful grunt escaped him. Kili pulled away from his uncle and looked at him, tilting his head to the side as he does. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Thorin replied as he set his nephew back down on the floor slowly. Thorin stood back up and forced a breath of air out of his mouth. Kili's eyebrows furrowed as he watched his uncle.
"Why are you breathing like that?" Kili asked, studying his uncle. Thorin looked down at Kili and sighed. Sometimes he wished Kili wasn't so bright. Thorin slowly bent down and looked Kili in the eyes.
"Can you keep a secret?" Thorin asked, holding his nephews gaze. Kili nods his head excitedly; he liked secrets. "I was in a fight and I broke a rib."
Kili's eyes widened as he heard what his uncle had said. He instantly looked down at Thorin's ribs and reached out to touch them. Thorin grabbed Kili's hand and gave him a smile, shaking his head.
"Remember, it's a secret. Don't tell anyone. Even your mother," Thorin said, holding Kili's gaze sternly.
"Even Fili?" Kili asked with wide eyes, thinking that was a cardinal sin.
"Even Fili," Thorin replied and then stood up and walked back to his room.
It didn't take long for Dis and Fili to walk back into the house from feeding the pony. Once inside, Fili walked over to where Kili was still sitting by the fire and sat down with him, grabbing one of the toys. Dis looked around the room and furrowed her eyebrows before she looked over at her youngest.
"Kili where's Thorin?" she asked him as she walked over to the two Dwarflings sitting on the floor.
"In his room, sleeping," Kili said, not taking his eyes off the game he and Fili were playing. Dis raised an eyebrow and glanced towards her brother's room.
"Why is he sleeping?" Dis asked as she looked back over at Kili. Kili looked up at her, his eyes wide. Dis narrowed her eyes at him and kneels down next to him. "Why Kili?"
"I can't tell you, it's a secret," Kili whispered, leaning in towards his mother. Dis cocks her head and thought about this for a moment.
"You can tell me. I'm good at keeping secrets," Dis said, giving her son a smile. Kili thought about this for a moment before grinning, he really did want to tell someone the secret.
"Well, Uncle Thorin said he broke a rib," Kili answered with wide eyes.
"And how did he do that?" Dis asked, forcing her worry and annoyance at her brother down.
"He got in a fight," Kili answered with his grin growing.
"Thank you Kili," Dis replied as she stood up and quickly made her way back to her brother's room. Fili looked over at Kili and gave him a look.
"I don't think Uncle wanted you to tell mother that," Fili said with a smirk. Kili frowns as he looked back at his brother.
"But she said she would keep it a secret," he said thinking that this made it all right. Kili turned his attention back to his toy in his hand. Fili shook his head but then stopped, staring over at his brother.
"Kili?" he asked causing Kili to look up from his toy and back over at his brother. "Did you tell mother my secret?"
Kili's eyes widen and he fervently shook his head. Fili had accidentally broke one of his other's plates and had quickly hid it before she found out. Kili had noticed and Fili made him promise not to tell.
"No! I would never tell her Fili. You told me not to," Kili said with worry in his voice.
"Good," Fili said with a grin. "Let's go outside and play."
AN: Please review and give me some feedback! There will be about 7 chapters to this story. Also, I think this will be my last Hobbit story for a little while, due to lack of ideas and needing to start my new Supernatural story. But I am sure I will have more after watching BOFA a few more times.
