"Liar!" Kili yelled. "You promised!"
"I never promised anything. Stop acting like a spoiled brat!" Fili replied in kind.
"What?!" Anger sizzled inside Kili. "You gave me your word! And now - now you're meeting her." His voice dripped with venom and something Fili couldn't place. It didn't matter. Not when his brother was being a giant little shit.
"Oh, come on, I couldn't help you with your dumb archery-thing anyway. Naru and I wanted to spend some time alone and - "
Kili narrowed his eyes and stopped in his track. The audacity! "Fine. Whatever. Go to her! I hope you two get ugly goblin-children," he spat.
"Take that back!" Fili growled, fists clenched.
"No! She's stupid!" By now Kili's face was flushed red in anger.
"I don't care what you think! It means nothing to me and neither do you!" As soon as the words left his mouth Fili regretted them. What a stupid thing to say. But it was too late to take them back. He tried nonetheless.
"Kili. I didn't -"
The younger dwarf looked like he had been struck. Tears were beginning to form at the rim of his eyes. "I hate you. You jerk!"
Fili wasn't expecting the hard shove he received from his baby brother and landed painfully on his rear.
"Wait!" The blond called after him, as Kili stormed off.
"Urgh," Fili's hands ran frustrated through his hair. He truly didn't mean it and promised himself to properly apologize, but for now, there was nothing he could do. His brother just need his space to be angry. Kili was always like a miniature volcano, all hot and boiling, ready to explode any minute. The best way to deal with him was to let him cool down first and do something nice later.
Fili got on his feet and sighed. One last time he glanced in the direction his brother had vanished, before turning his back on him.
