I wrote a little Thorin/Fili scene taking part during BOTFA, because I'm really sad we didn't have an occasion to have a moment between these two apart the "conversation/fight" in DOS. Oh and it's fluffy and full of feels. (And I'm not english, so maybe there're mistakes. Sorry!)
His uncle had decided that the war was on. War instead of peace.
Fili had left the group, and went down the ruins of Erebor, having a moment of peace to clarify his ideas. Like the time of his childhood seemed far away from the reality of this quest and this final moment. Tales that his uncle had told them so, he knew in every detail. But the fictional Erebor looked nothing like this Erebor. The gold field which was under his eyes was nothing enviable.
Being the heir, Fili feared that gold more than anything. The entire line of Durin had succumbed to its power, what would happen after the battle to him? To thorin?
Fili looked away and sighed. His thoughts had prevented him to pay attention to the arrival of a dwarf of the company, and he jumped when a hand touched his shoulder.
"Fili."
The deep voice of his uncle calmed Fili, although recent events left him reluctant towards his uncle.
"Uncle."
Thorin sighed sadly hearing the tone of Fili and spoke again.
"Oh, Fili. I'm sorry for what happened. I passed my personal want before your brother's health and your fear, and I apologize for that. "
"I understand uncle. You told us so much about this place, and the time was short, you could not do otherwise. I just hope you will forgive me for staying with Kili. I always promised, since his birth, to protect him; and I promised to Ma to take care of him during the quest. That's why … "
Thorin interrupted his nephew, a little smile drawing on his lips.
"Of course I forgive you Fili. You might be the heir of the throne, but you are first my nephew and my sister's son. What you did was very noble, and it shows me how much you are the one worthy to reign one day. You will be good to our people, as you are with your brother and your family. I'm proud of you Fili, and your mother too. "
Fili was cut off breathing. Never his uncle had told him such compliments. Their relationship was different from what Thorin had with Kili, and although he was not jealous, he envied his brother's complicity with his uncle. To hear such words warmed his heart.
"Thank you … Thorin. "He answered, a voice trembling with emotion.
Thorin flashed a genuine smile, and rested his forehead against Fili's forehead.
"You are precious to me Fili, be careful tomorrow…"
Fili closed his eyes to this contact, enjoying this rare moment.
"You too uncle. You too "
