Author's Note: Hey, thanks to everyone who reviewed! Since we all love weekends, and it's Sunday, I decided to post a new chapter! In this chapter, Fili and Kili are going to be four and nine. Hey, if you want more stories of Thorin, Fili, and Kili, I'm writing a new story called 'Mischievous Little Dwarflings'.
Chapter Seven
"Come here, you little imps!"
Kili and Fili squealed with laughter as Thorin tickled them mercilessly. Kili kicked and flailed helplessly while Fili desperately tried to escape, choking on his laughter. "P-please!" Kili squealed. "N-no more!"
Thorin chuckled before letting them up after a last tickle. He drew Kili onto his lap as Fili gasped for air, rolling around. Thorin grinned at the indignant look on his two nephews' faces. "Not fair, Unca Thowin," Kili told him. "You is stronger and bigger, and not fair to Kili or Fili."
"It's Uncle Thorin, Kili, not Unca Thowin," Fili said, rolling his eyes.
Kili stuck out his tongue. Thorin grinned at the antics of the two brothers. "Play hide and seek, Unca Thowin?" Kili asked sweetly, sending his most adorable 'I'm-an-angel' look at his Uncle.
Thorin swallowed as he met Kili's soft chocolate brown eyes. It was impossible to resist, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Fili snicker at their uncle's obvious discomfort. "Only for a little," Thorin said with a sigh.
Kili squealed with joy and tapped Thorin on the shoulder, crying, "You're it!" before wriggling out of his grasp and racing away with Fili. Thorin sighed. What did he get into now?
"Kili, I don't think this is a good idea," Fili said uncertainly as they climbed up to the roof of the building. The building was enormous and tall.
"It's a good idea, Fili!" Kili said with a mischievous grin. "Unca Thowin won't find us here!" Kili was carrying a container of eggs, which made Fili feel even more nervous as he thought how mad Uncle Thorin would be if he found them climbing the building to the roof. Fili had a good idea of what was going to happen with the eggs and the people down below.
"Kili," Fili stated as they arrived at the top. They scrambled on and looked down. Kili's eyes were wide with excitement.
"Here's yours." Kili handed Fili a spotted brown egg. "Now, watch." And to Fili's horror, his little brother aimed a white egg at a man's head and launched it. With a splat, it landed on his hand, knocking him down. Kili giggled. "Your turn, big brother!"
Fili hesitated before throwing it. It hit the person's back, for everyone knew Kili had the better eyesight and aim when it came to bow and arrows or launching or aiming. "Pwetty good," Kili praised, smiling. Fili grinned, starting to enjoy it a bit more as more eggs rained down on the poor people's heads and backs or stomachs.
The men roared up at them, making gestures that both Kili and Fili did not understand. They both turned and saw. There was only one white egg left. Only one. Fili and Kili both made a grab for it, but as Fili was older, he was stronger and bigger and got the egg first.
"Not fair," Kili grumbled, but sat back to watch his older brother use their last weapon.
Fili felt the egg. It was their last, and he knew he should aim well. There! Standing still, was a short man with long dark hair and a beard. He was a perfect target. With a whoop, Fili threw the egg, and splat!
But the man didn't fall down onto the ground like the others. The man slowly turned around and glared up at the building.
"Oh, no!" Kili whimpered. "Fili, you hit Unca Thowin!"
Fili cringed and stumbled back. Kili jumped to his feet and they both ran desperately, scrambling down the building, for anything seemed better than facing their uncle's wrath.
Thorin could not believe his eyes. He gazed around, gaping at the men with egg yolk in their hair and running down their bodies. He was wondering what had happened, when SPLAT! Thorin involuntarily flinched at the slimy yolk. It ran through his hair and onto his back. Slowly, he turned around and looked up at the roof, glowering his most scary glare.
Fili and Kili were staring down at them. Then they both turned and ran, and began to scramble down on the other side, obviously terrified of what was about to befall them when Thorin caught the two. And they should be, Thorin grimly thought as he strode forward, wiping the yolk out of his face. He would make those two even sorrier than they already were.
He caught sight of Kili and Fili both hopping to the ground, then racing away as fast as they could. Thorin broke into a jog, and with his long strides he quickly caught up to his two mischievous nephews. Looping an arm around each one, he growled, "Do not move."
They froze, obviously terrified. Thorin pulled them up to face him, glowered, and said, "We're going home."
"Yes, Unca Thowin," Kili said in a small voice, Fili echoing him but without the lisp.
After checking that his two nephews were not injured or hurt in any kind of way, Thorin sat them down and paced, every once in a while glowering at them in such a stern way that they flinched.
"U-unca-?" Kili began tentatively.
"Hush." Thorin was much too angry right now, and was desperately trying to calm himself before he dealt with the two mischievous little dwarflings.
"Uncle-"
"I said, quiet."
"But-but-"
Thorin turned and growled, "You are still not listening to me. Hush, little one!"
"Uncle Thorin!"
"Silence, little dwarfling!" Thorin turned and gave Fili a stern look. Fili pressed himself as far away as he could and huddled close to Kili. Calming down a bit, Thorin said, "Explain."
"It was my idea," Fili said immediately.
"No! Unca, I made Fili do it! He dinna wanna, but I made him!" Kili protested.
"Uncle, don't believe him," Fili said quickly. "It was all my fault. I'm the oldest, I should have known better."
"Yes. You should have," Thorin agreed. When he saw Fili wilt a bit, he struggled not to soften. He would not. He would have to be stern. Thorin gave a soft sigh. His two little cubs ... they looked so crestfallen. Thorin had a pretty good idea whose suggestion it had been. Kili had a tiring knack at mischief. But those soft, chocolate brown eyes ... Thorin practically melted when he saw them.
With a sigh, Thorin sat himself down and removed his coat before patting his lap. "Over my knee, little cub," Thorin said, beckoning Kili.
Kili gave a soft whimper before stumbling over. Thorin let him wriggle until he found a comfortable, or at least the most comfortable in this situation, spot over his knees. Then, slowly he pulled down his nephew's breeches, letting him think where he was and why.
Kili obediently lifted his hips and Thorin sniffed a fond smile. His brave, brave little cub. Ten swats would be more than enough for this little one, who broke so easily and seemed so fragile. "Are you ready, little cub?" Thorin asked gently.
"Mmm hmm," Kili said softly. "I'm ready, Unca Thowin."
Thorin patted Kili's bare bottom in warning, then, firmly but not harshly, brought it down. Kili made a small sound of discomfort but otherwise remained silent. Thorin alllowed his hand to fall again, and Kili let out a small whimper. When Thorin's hand left his nephew's bottom for the third time, he saw the pink flush he had left on Kili's small bottom and felt a small twinge of pity and sympathy for his cub. He could remember his own experiences when over his father or grandfather's knee, and in Kili's age ten swats had been more than enough to make him very sorry indeed.
The third fell, then the fourth. By now, Kili was crying softly, his small legs straining and jerking. On the sixth swat, Thorin flicked his wrist a bit, knowing that the sting would increase if he did so. Kili let out a wail and out of the corner of his eye, Thorin saw Fili give a small flinch. On the seventh he used similar intensity and Kili let out another heartbroken wail that made a lump in Thorin's throat. It pained him to do this, but he would do it. He would rather his nephews suffer a sore bottom than a broken neck.
He snapped his wrist down even more on the eight, and on the sensitive undercurve. Kili let out a high-pitched shriek that rattled the windows. "Owww! Unca!" Kili wailed as he twisted.
Thorin let his hand fall again and winced once more at the shriek Kili released anew. "P-please, Unca! Hurts!" Kili sobbed out, legs kicking. The last swat landed on the undercurve as well, and Kili howled before going limp and sobbing his little heart out.
Thorin gathered him up and rocked him, murmuring comfortingly. "There now, little cub. Shhh. Yes, I know. Your bottom stings horribly, doesn't it?"
"Uh huh." Kili gave Thorin an accusing look and Thorin chuckled.
"You have only yourself to blame, little cub," Thorin said softly, but his firm words contrasted with the gentle kiss he placed on his nephew's head. Kili gave a soft sniffle before closing his eyes, obviously exhausted. A few moments passed, then Thorin realized that Kili was asleep. Chuckling softly, he placed his dark-haired nephew in his bed on his stomach before shutting the door quietly.
Thorin found Fili waiting for him, looking down at his feet and looking fully chastised. Thorin sat down, then patted his lap. "Come here, my wild pup," he said softly.
Fili hesitated for only a moment before shuffling over, shedding his coat and laying down, trembling and quivering visibly. Thorin slowly inched down Fili's breeches. Cool air washed over Fili's bottom and Thorin could feel his eldest nephew shudder. "Little one, are you frightened?" he asked softly.
Fili shifted and Thorin pulled him firmly against his stomach. "Answer me." Thorin landed a swat on the pale quivering bottom.
"Ahhh!" Fili yelped. "N-no, Uncle. Not of you. Just of th-the sp-spanking."
Thorin smiled as he gently rocked the sniffling and hot-bottomed Fili in his lap, humming quietly. Fili quickly fell asleep, curled up on Thorin's comforting lap. He looked down at the small dwarfling in his arms and smiled again. Placing a kiss on the golden hair, his last thought before he took Fili upstairs was, I am very lucky to have these young dwarflings at my side.
