Thorin had trouble sleeping that night. It wasn't like him at all, not being able to sleep that is, and he twisted and turned restlessly in his bed. He had an unsettling feeling in his gut he could not quite put his finger on what it was. Guilt? Why would he feel guilty? He had done absolutely nothing wrong; at all. He could however not get the unpleasant feeling away.

He tried to think back to what he had done the day before and thought if he could have done something wrong. Was it because he didn't spend the night with Tora? No, that couldn't be it. She had been disappointed yes, but he had Fili and Kili to take care of. She would understand.

"Uncle Thorin?" He heard a little voice whisper and he sat up in his bed. He could barely see anything in the dark but noticed the contours of a child.

"Kili?"

"I had a bad dream" Kili whispered and walked over to Thorin who patted him on his head. "Can I sleep next to you tonight?"

"Sure you can" Thorin whispered and lifted his nephew up into his bed and put him beside himself. "What did you dream about?"

"Wargs" Kili whispered and nuzzled his face into Thorins chest. "I dreamed that I and Fili were hunted by wargs. And there was this huge white warg and he had a big pale monster on it and then…" He was interrupted by Thorin who tugged him closer.

"It's ok, it's only a dream. They can't get you. I'll protect you." He felt how Kili calmed down a bit and in just a couple of minutes he was sound asleep.

"Thorin!" A voice called his name. He looked around and found himself in a dark forest full of pine trees.
"Thorin, help!"

He ran towards the voice in almost pitch black darkness but it was hard, like running in water. He tried to figure out who the voice belonged to.
Suddenly in the darkness he saw someone.

"Bilbo?" He yelled and reached out to grab him, but he could not reach. "Bilbo!"
Bilbos eyes turned black in anger and he clenched his fists.
"Why do you throw me away? Why do you hurt me like this?" Bilbo screamed and the power in his voice was something Thorin was not used to. Bilbo was the timid person who never spoke up and was always so polite; but not this time. This time he was changed.

Bilbos steps closed in to him and they stood close. Chests almost touching. Bilbo looked him in the eye and his sapphire coloured eyes were watery with tears. Thorin couldn't help himself but placed his hands upon the smaller man's cheeks and kissed him; just a light peck on his lips.

"Finally" Bilbo whispered.

I am sooooooooooooo sorry for making you wait so long for an update! I really am, I did not mean to make you wait this long but as I've mentioned I'm really busy.

As mentioned before I just got out of a really unhealthy relationship, move from Tokyo to Yokohama, started uni. and got new schedule on my job. I'll try to update as soon as I can. /Kumiko
