Slight dispersion in this also very unhappy alcoholic Bilbo

Now I want you to imagine the guy from sponge bob saying "A FEW MONTHS LATER".

Bilbo had sold the bar to some rich guy trying to turn a profit. He couldn't stand being in the place he met Thorin and the place was going downhill too it was easier to just leave that place quit the café and start anew. So now he worked in the local Lidl superstore (I just love Lidl so I had to) he was in charge and you could say boss of the bakery there. He couldn't be happier with his new job. But at work was the only time he was happy.

After the break up Bilbo became depressed he would always occupy his mind whether it was going to the gym, being at some sort of party or generally something stupid. He had a gap and he couldn't fill it. Drinking became a problem too. Bilbo was only working Monday to Wednesday so from Thursday to Sunday he was numb. And that's how he liked it. Being numb meant he didn't feel crushed by the weight of not having Thorin around. He had hit a low a new guy every other day. He wasn't happy he was just living each day just trying to make it to the next.

Thorin on the other hand was much better. Yes he had stuck himself into his work and ignored everyone to the extent that they thought he no longer lived and would break down his door in order to make sure he was alive. This was Dwalin breaking in and shaking Thorin in anger but Thorin just stared at him and then continued to write up about the court case.

"What are you doing?" It was more metaphorical than he meant it to be.

"I'm writing." Thorin answered not looking up from his work.

"We're worried about you."

"That's great news."

"Thanduil's been calling me to see how you are."

"I talked to him yesterday."

"You mean last week."

"Yeah" Thorin finally looked up at Dwalin.

"What are you going to do about it. Go back to him? Stay here and sulk? Find someone new?"

"Look what happened last time I did either of them."

Dwalin gave a pitying look. What was he going to do now?

Thanduil was bored Thorin hadn't talked to him in a week Chelsea had a new guy and was spending less and less time with him, maybe he should go and buy some wine to drink. Yeah that was a good idea.

Now walking down the aisle in his local shop he spotted a little bakery. Maybe some pan au chocolate too. Now he was treating himself. Thranduil stopped when he saw a little man with the bakery uniform on and golden hair shining in the industrial lights. He looked so warn heavy marks around his eyes face drained of its usual glow. This could not be the same Bilbo Baggins. He waled over slowly and carefully looked over the boy. Yes this was him. He felt great sympathy nothing like he had ever felt before. He felt so low, how could he do something like this to such a nice caring person. He would fix this being selfish was way over rated anyway.
