Warning: Smut & Mention of blood/war
Nothing more than a moment passed that his mind wandered to you.
As the whistle of his blade swinging through the air rang clear in his ears, his mind was set on something else other than the Orc that he battled. His heart clenched and fell in his chest at the possibility of you being hurt, or worse.
You were the reason he swung his blade a little harder, why he ran a little faster, and fell as many Orcs as he possibly could.
Throughout the whole journey to the Kingdom of Erebor, he watched over you, although he knew full and well that you needed no assistance of the sort. He watched as you fearlessly fought as hard and as well as the other members of the company, taking him by surprise that a seemingly sheltered human could swing a blade with such precision and confidence.
But it was your confidence, your willingness to protect the Company with your very life that made him worry all the more for you.
Had it not been for the importance of the quest, and the integrity of it that Thorin had done so much to upheld, Fili would've ran off with you to a place where no danger could ever touch you. He wished he could have, but he willed himself to keep his ever growing feelings from you in fear that it would only serve as a distraction to not only him but you as well.
He settled with loving and protecting you from afar, vowing to let everything known to you the very moment he could, if he could.
And that was the goal that was set clearly in his mind, as he searched for Thorin and Kili, ensuring their safety as well as asking Thorin for his silent permission to search for you. Having raised him from infancy, Thorin knew the workings of Fili's mind through and through – even more so the look of his eyes when they glanced on you, and the small smile that seemed to pull on his bearded lips.
Thorin knew that he loved you and knew the line of Durin well enough to know that the stubbornness that coursed through Fili's veins would never allow him to change that.
With a curt nod, Thorin dismissed him, his hand raising to his heart as a bid of good-luck before his golden-haired nephew turned on his heel, jogging down the slight hill as his pale green eyes scanned over the land in search of you.
He felt the warm air pull the golden, unruly strands of his hair back passed him as he weaved through the battle field, avoiding the fallen bodies of the Orcs that laid strewn about the ground, their faces turned into a scowl that will forever remain until the end of days.
His lips were parted as deep pants left his body, his eyes scanning from the left to the right, quickly bouncing from face to face as he searched for yours, hoping that just by chance, your radiant smile would stand out among the darkness of battle.
Fili's heart sank lower and lower and he continued to near the large entrance to Erebor, his eyes failing on finding you. He began to think the worst, and felt his breath catch in his throat.
He stopped in his jog, spinning around himself as he frantically looked for you. The beads of his braids hit and bounced off of his chin as he turned and swiveled his head, suddenly stopping when his eyes landed on your backside that was slumped over as you barely remained upright on your knees.
The entire world fell silent to him as his feet slowly brought him forward, his gaze set strictly on you as he watched, waiting to see any sign of life come from your exhausted frame.
The muffled call of your name brought you out of your aimless reverie, causing you to raise your glazed [e/c] eyes up as Fili came around you from your right, falling to his knees so that his green eyes could look into yours.
He took hold of your shoulders, squeezing them lightly as he shook you gently, watching as your eyes became slightly clearer at the sight of him.
"[y/n]," He breathed, his heart racing in his ears, glad that he had found you, but worried that you were wounded with injuries that he could not heal. He glanced over your body, examining your stomach, hands and thighs in search for any wound that might ail you. "Are you alright?"
You felt as his rough hands rose to your face, cupping it gently as his thumbs rubbed the skin of your eyes, wiping away the tears that had gathered there on their own accord.
You lips parted as you let out a quiet sob, your eyes finally recognizing the familiar face before you. You felt your heart settle, as your mind finally began to be put at rest. "Fili," You breathed out as another tear fell from your eyes.
You saw his bearded lips crack into a small smile. "Aye, it's me, lass." You noticed as his own eyes began to water with tears before he quickly blinked them away. "It's me."
You rose your hands weakly to his torso, gripping onto the exposed fabric of his tunic as if your life depended on it. You finally leaned into the touch of his hands, feeling as your shoulders finally let go of the tension it held, allowing you to slump onto Fili's shoulder, where he willingly held you close to him. He wrapped his arms gently around your shoulders, his face tucked into your neck.
"I was so worried," You admitted with another sob, "I was afraid that..." Your words drifted off as the image of what could have happened popped into your head with a vengeance. You shook your head, as if willing the image to disappear.
Fili tenderly rose his hand to cradle your head against him, his lips turning to kiss your hair lightly. "For me?" He asked, as if he was flattered. "I was deathly afraid for you, lass."
You felt your heart flutter at his honest words, causing you to bury your face deeper to his chest, feeling his racing heart beat against it.
"I was afraid that I would lose you," He continued, his words growing quiet to where only you could hear them. He felt as you grew still in his arms, before you slowly pushed away from him, tilting your head up to look at his face.
He grew anxious at your silent stare at him, causing him to continue on, explaining the words he had just spoken. "I always have been, worried about you I mean," He paused, watching for any sign of distaste. "The very thought of it terrifies me," he chuckled sadly as his eyes bore into yours, as if he tried deeply to connect with the radiant soul of yours that seemed to have been hidden by the horrors you saw toady.
"But what terrifies me most is the love that I have for you, and that there might be a possibility that you wouldn't return it."
You furrowed your eyebrows at him as you slowly began to understand the words that fell from his lips. You saw as his eyes and shoulders fell as if in defeat.
He looked back up at you, his lips parted as he prepared to speak.
"You what?" You asked just before the words of his defense were able to leave his lips.
He hesitated for a moment before repeating himself in a more simpler way. "I love you, [y/n]."
Your heart warmed and swelled at his blunt confession. You felt your lips pull back in a small smile as you let out a small sob. You felt your hands shake lightly as they crawled their way up to Fili's shoulder where you wrapped your arms around tightly, bringing chest flush against his.
"I love you too, Fili," You admitted, feeling your warm tears fall from your eyes, running their course down your cheeks. "I always have, too."
You felt him take a gentle hold of your hips, bringing you away from him so he could look into your eyes. His hands rose to cup your cheeks again, his lips slightly agape as he easily picked up on the honesty that poured out of you, reflecting fully in your [e/c] that began to glisten under the small rays of sunlight that began to fall through the thick clouds.
He hesitated for a moment before he drew his face closer to yours, watching you as you allowed your eyes to slide shut in anticipation for what was to come. He smiled softly at you before finally covering your lips with his, his hand moving to cradle the back of your head as he moved his lips tenderly upon yours.
You leaned into the innocent gesture, wrapping your arms around his torso as his hand lowered to the small of your back.
You felt life begin to course through your veins once again, as the skin of your lips warmed against his.
You could feel all of the feelings he hid for you suddenly be released, the kiss tender yet possessive, afraid yet bold. You suddenly felt lost when he pulled away from you, his face lingering close enough to yours to allow the tips of your noses to touch lightly.
Your eyes were trained on his lips as they slowly pulled into a gentle smile, a gesture that was largely foreign tot he destruction that surrounded the two of you. But neither of you seemed to notice, as you began to smile back at him in a similar fashion.
The world surrounding you was silent, unable to draw either of you from the physical and spiritual embrace that you were tangled within. Your souls had finally found each other, mingling until they were finally one.
And they remained that way for the weeks that passed as the Line of Durin finally came into their own, rebuilding their lost kingdom of Erebor back to its former glory.
You remained at Fili's side, right where he wanted you to be, as if you desired to be anywhere else. You both helped the other to heal from the mental wounds you gained from battle, reminding the other that it's alright – that if there were one thing that would not change in the world, it would be the love that you held for each other.
You proved to be the rock that kept him grounded in the waves of responsibilities that came with being the prince of the Dwarven kingdom.
He depended on you as much as Thorin depended on him to live up to his title.
It seemed to be easy for him to get lost among the work, as he immersed himself completely into the duties of a Prince, frequently forgetting that he must take care of himself before he could care for any others.
He knew you would always be there, ready to pull him back to himself, away from the brink of pure exhaustion from spreading himself thin.
Just as he did the past few nights, including this one.
You peaked your head around the corner of the doorway to one of the many studies that could be found throughout the stone kingdom. Your [e/c] eyes easily caught onto the sight of Fili, his back hunched over as he scanned whatever documents he sat before. You watched as he brought his hand to his eyes, rubbing them roughly as a deep, disgruntled sigh left his lips.
You rose your hand to knock lightly on the wooden door frame, earning his frayed attention.
"Fili," You called, stepping into the demure room, "May I come in?"
He turned to you, the wooden legs of the chair he sat upon squeaking lightly under his movement. "Please do," He responded, a sad smile forming on his lips. "I need a distraction."
You laughed lightly, entering the room fully as you pulled the door shut behind you. You smiled at him as you walked over to where he was seated, raising your hand to cup his face once you stood between his legs, smiling down at him. "Is that all I am to you?"
He chuckled lightly at the subtle pout of your lips, one of his hands raising to hold onto your hip while the other took one of your hands and brought it closer to his lips. "That," he whispered, pressing his lips to your fingers, "And so much more."
Your free hand ghosted over his eyebrow before you glanced over to his desk, the surface covered with documents that seemed to be of great importance. You looked back over to him, his eyes already trained on you as he continued to brush his lips against your fingers. "Why don't you rest?" You asked, as you lowered your face, planting a light kiss onto his bearded cheek. "I cannot sleep when your side of the bed is empty."
You watched as he smiled up at you, his hand letting go of yours to take a gentle hold of your chin, directing your lips to his. You smiled against his lips, leaning into the kiss. You willingly let him in when you felt his tongue glide over your lower lip, feeling his tongue instantly glide over your, temporarily fighting for dominance before you gave in.
You let out a light airy laugh when he pulled away slowly, his own lips pulled back in the smirk that could always be found there. Your skin tingled as he dragged his thumb over your now moist lips, his green eyes trained directly on the smooth skin.
You couldn't help but catch on to the slight dilation of his pupils as his lips slowly parted before he brought his eyes back to yours.
"I suppose I can't allow that to happen, now can I, lass?"
You smiled down at him, feeling as your stomach began to warm at the sudden deepness that rang through his voice. You nodded your head, giving him your silent agreement as you took a step back, allowing him to stand at his few height that was just a few inches more than yours.
He winked at you before trailing his hand till it rested in your palm, squeezing yours lightly as he began walking forward, leading you through the door you just entered, and down the quiet halls of Erebor.
The footsteps were the only sound that accompanied the two of you as Fili led you through the familiar stone halls, his head turning occasionally to glance a look back at you, a playful smirk pulling at the corner of his lips.
You have only seen that smirk on his lips once before, the memory of that night playing clearly in your head. If what happened that night was what laid in store for you, you all but wished for Fili to increase his pace down the empty halls.
You felt your skin warm at the sudden pooling desire for your golden-haired Prince, watching his backside as he silently led you through the corridors, his hand occasionally squeezing yours as his thumb rubbed small circles into the topside of your palm.
You anticipation built and was finally released once you reached the door that led to the bedroom that you two now shared. He allowed you in first, the warm air that lingered in the room meeting your skin, hearing as Fili slowly pushed the door shut behind him before he came behind you, his arms wrapping around your waist lovingly.
He kissed your neck. "I love you," he whispered into your ear, kissing the outer shell.
He squeezed your waist lightly as you brought your hands and gently ghosted them along his muscular forearm, relaxing into his touch. "And I love you."
You felt him smile against your skin as he gently pushed you forward, directing you to the perfectly made bed that laid in waiting, the deep brown sheets creasing only when Fili led you to it, landing onto of you as a light laugh left your lips.
He rolled off of you to your right, his hands lingering on your waist. He pulled you over and onto him, your warm bodies mending into one as he lifted his face to kiss your lips once again. You felt as his hands wrapped around to the backside of your body, squeezing lightly as he pulled your body flush against his.
You felt as his hands wandered up and down the sides of your body, causing you to smile against his lips just as he gained dominance over your tongue.
His cool fingers slowly slipped underneath your blouse, sending shiver up your spine from the sudden, cool touch. He roamed his hands over your back, reaching up to your shoulders and trailing back down slowly to the small of your back where they lingered before they disappeared below the hem of your velveteen skirt, his hands almost immediately rubbing over your clothed bums.
Fili felt his body react immediately to the light moan he earned from you. He arched his hips up towards you, gently pressing his growing erection on your inner thigh, a low groan escaping his lips as you pulled away from him to look into his darkening green eyes.
He grinned up at you, seeing that your eyes were not swirling with the same arousal as his. He rose his hand to your head, cradling it as he wrapped your hair around his hand. He brought his head up to plant a light kiss onto your cheek as he slowly rolled over, placing you onto your back with him straddling you.
He looked down at you, the golden strands of his hair dangling along your skin, tickling it lightly. Fili leaned away from you his hands reaching down to the edge of your blouse before he slowly lifted it up from your belly, revealing it to the warm, candle-lit air.
He noticed the light shiver that went through your body once he lifted the shirt over you head, rolling it up and allowing it to fall over the edge of the bed. He couldn't help but gaze down at you, adoring the your body looked under the warm hue of the lit candles.
He glanced up at you, smiling softly at the bashful smile that played on your lips. He watched you as you shifted beneath him, sitting up while raising your hands to the brown tunic that covered his chest, quickly doing away with it and allowing it to fall to the side of the bed as well.
You felt as his muscles contracted slightly under your tender touch as you trailed your fingertips along the taut lines of his muscles. You gave him a kittenish smile when you felt his warming hands reach to your breasts, gently kneading them in his palm as his eyes bore fire wholes into you.
Although you felt your skin warm at his direct attention to you, you felt as your core relished in it, silently yearning for more.
As if he heard your silent plea, he placed his kiss upon yours, his hands moving to your shoulders to lean you onto your back. You felt him shift on top of you as he quickly removed the barrier of your skirt, quickly doing away with your cotton panties as well.
He leaned back, his lips parted in a silent amazement as he gazed down at you, his eyes mapping out every inch of your skin as his member instantly reacted to it.
You began to raise you arms in an attempt to cover your body, but was stopped by his gently taking a hold of your wrists, bringing them up to his mouth as he gently kissed them. You bit your bottom lip as he whispered against your skin, feeling his warm breath fan across it. "You are breathtaking, [y/n]."
You smiled at him, your hands splaying over his bearded cheeks.
He leaned in slightly to your touch before pulling away, a low chuckle falling from his lips at the sad look you shot his way. He stood to his full height at the edge of the bed, his fingers hooking into the border of his trousers before you slowly slid them down his waist and thighs, allowing them to pool at his feet where he easily stepped out of them.
You couldn't help the warming of your skin as you glanced down to his length, his head already glistening lightly with the traces of pre-come. Your eyes flashed back up to his as he slowly climbed back on to the bed, climbing over your legs and body as if he was the embodiment of a feline predator.
You leaned back onto the bed fully, watching as he hovered over you, his eyes glancing from yours, to the gentle rise and fall of your chest, to your core that was silently begging to be touched. You leaned your head into the touch of his hand when he cupped your face, gently rubbing his thumb over the surface of your lips before he dipped his own to cover yours.
While you felt his lips move gently against yours, you felt his free hand reach down to your thigh, gently separating it from the other as he shifted himself to kneel between your legs.
You jumped slightly, arching your waist up at the sudden touch of his fingers against your swollen clit. You moaned into the kiss as he gently rubbed against it, his other hand falling to ghost along the right side of your body.
He pulled away slowly, lingering his face just inches away from yours. His lips parted slightly, he peered into your eyes, watching as you chewed on your bottom lip before wrapping your arms around his shoulders to pull him into the crook of your neck. You moved underneath him till your lips were brushed against his ear before you whispered, "Take me, Fili."
You felt his hair move against your skin as he nodded at the gentle command. He shifted above you slightly, not breaking the embrace you had with him, as he lined the head of his member up to the wet opening of your folds.
With a low groan, he slowly pushed himself into you, both of your backs arching into each other as he slowly pushed his entire length into your folds.
He gave you a few moments to grow accustomed to his size before he gently pulled out of you, reentering with just a bit more force than he used before. You felt your hips as they instinctively snapped down towards his, meeting his thrust half way.
Soon, you fell into rhythm with his thrusts, both of your mouths slightly open in a silent, never ending moan.
Your hands moved up to embed your fingers into his hair, pulling on it lightly as a throaty moan left your lips. Fili grunted softly at the heavenly sound, being sure to repeat the action that caused it, tilting his hips at a certain angle the he knew would please you best.
You felt as his hands rose to grip your hips, his thrusts becoming more frequent and forced, instantly fulfilling your silent wish for him to do so.
He moaned so close to your ear, causing light shivers to go throughout your body.
You scraped your nails along the dip of his back, feeling as his skin quivered beneath your touch, just as your walls grew tighter around his length.
He felt it perfectly, pausing for a moment to gain the last bits of reality before resuming, determined to lead you to your climax before he reached his own. His hand came back to the aching bundle of nerves, gently rubbing over it, sending shocks directly to the pit of your stomach.
With a sloppy kiss against your neck, you felt as you finally fell over the edge, a muffled moan of your lover's name falling from your lips repeatedly as he continued to thrust in and out of you, riding the wave of your orgasm till it brought him to his own, his shoulders slumping over onto you in a blissful, spent exhaustion.
You smiled at the shuddered the left his lips and shook his body, feeling as he slowly slipped out of you before rolling onto his side, taking you with him.
You snuggled into him, thriving in the warmth of his arms as your eyes trained onto the gentle moving flames of the candle that remained lit on the bedside table.
You smiled as his lips pressed against the back of your neck, staying there as you both slowly regained your breath and grip on reality.
It was you that kept him grounded and sane despite the responsiblities that fell upon him as the first heir to the kingdom of Erebor. But it was also you alone that could take him to such highs, before slowly, gracefully leading him back down
