Warning: Kili is a cockblock! I'm so sorry, Balin, I do love you, really .And jealousy comes to sight!

Thorin did not return to camp until dawn and none of the Company was able to sleep that night at the sound of orcs far more than a few minutes.

When I woke up I noticed the absence of Fili and Kili beside me, but I was not cold, which surprised me. I opened my eyes and I saw that the company was rolling their bunks and it smelled of freshly cooked food. To my surprise, I had no nightmares that night, but I dreamed that I came to Erebor with Frodo, and Thorin smiled at us. Then I noticed that the thing which had protected me from the cold was a coat that covered me whole. It smelled of Thorin. Then my mind said "Where's Thorin?". The night before I had told them that Azog was still alive and Thorin had left, so I looked around until I came across a pair of blue eyes staring at me from across the camp. Thorin was talking to Dwalin, who seemed worried, but Thorin was only looking at me. I got up putting his coat on my shoulders, trying not to let it stain and I went to where he was. Once I was a few feet from him, Dwalin turned to see what Thorin was looking. I swear I saw him smile out when he looked down at me, and he noticed the coat over my shoulders.

"I'll help with breakfast." Dwalin said rising and winking at me. I could not help but laugh and watch him walked away. Dwalin had been a good friend last time, and I hoped this would be too. Then I heard as someone coughed and I looked at Thorin, blushing a little.

"T-Thanks for the coat... it is very warm." I said smiling at him and sitting beside him.

"No need to thank me, Bilbo. When I returned to camp you where cold, so I did what any dwarf would have done. "

I bit my lip and stared at him. "I know it's a stupid question, but... are you okay?"

Thorin shook his head slightly and sighed. "Deep inside of me I knew he was not dead... I hoped I was wrong." We were looking at the ground respectively, lost in a strangely comfortable silence. "Have you had a nightmare today?" Asked Thorin looking up and I looked into his eyes and smiled slightly.

"No, I have not had any. I slept like a baby." Thorin smiled and I put a hand on his arm. "Have you slept at all?" Thorin just shook his head slightly. "You should get some sleep before leaving.." Thorin put his hand on mine and stared at me.

"I'm fine, Master Baggins, you need not worry about me."

I raised an eyebrow still looking at him not putting my hand away. "I care a lot about you, Thorin." Then I whispered, looking down. "More than what you think..."

Before he could say anything else, I felt as Thorin gently lifted my chin and made me look at him. When I saw his lips parted to speak, I hear a cough and he let me go quickly. "Bombur has already made breakfast." Kili said half laughing and Thorin stood up. I was completely flushed as I followeed them both into the campfire.

"Thorin, here, take your coat." I said smiling at him and almost qtaking it off before arriving to the campfire, but Thorin stopped gently, grabbing my wrist.

"Keep it up until when we'll raise the camp." Then I only smiled faintly and he went off to where Balin was to eat breakfast.

I sat next to Ori and Bofur who smiled playfully me.

"Are you warm, Bilbo?" IOri asked trying not to laugh.

I gave him a little punch in the arm and he started laughing. "Not a word." I said very seriously, but he kept laughing with Bofur, Fili and Kili, and full of shame, I prayed to Yavanna for the earth to swallow me. "Leave me alone..." I hid my red face in my hands and they stopped laughing slowly.

"So... I was right, you like our uncle, right?" Kili said smiling at me and putting his arm around my shoulders. I looked across the camp and I saw that Thorin could not hear us.

"Kili... it's complicated."

"Why is it complicated? Like, I'm sure that he likes you, and... " I saw Fili he hit him. "Why did you do that?!"

Fili stared at me. "It is because of the other dwarf, right?" I nodded slightly. I could not tell them that I loved Thorin with all my heart because it was very complicated. I loved Thorin, but also I loved him for everything he did during the trip, and this Thorin had not done it yet. Although he was on the right direction.

"How do you hobbits court? Do you love only once like us?" Ori asked eating at my side.

I shook my head. "No, we do not have Ones like you do." And I had noticed that few years ago when after Rosie's death, Sam went to Aman and he confessed his love for Frodo, who had fallen in love with him long ago. But I knew I could never love someone who was not Thorin. So I came up with a question that Gimli did not know how to respond at all the last time I asked him.

"How do you know who is your One?"

The four looked at each other, and Ori and Bofur began to babble.

"Well..."

"It's... something like..."

"You feel like..."

"Like if you are not be alone."

"Like if you do not want to separate yourself from that dwarf..." They tell at the same time.

I started laughing then. "So that is how you felt, Ori, when you saw Dwalin."

"W-What?!" the scribe shouted, blushing. "O-Of course not!"

We all started laughing so loud that the rest of the company stared at us as if we had gone mad.

"Admit it, Ori" said Kili laughing so hard that there were tears in his eyes.

"Yup! All the Company knows, well, everyine but Dwalin who is as blind as you are." Bofur added.

"Look who's talking! You're in love with my brother Nori! "

At that Bofur shut quickly. "That is... a lie." He said blushing.

I raised an eyebrow. "Look at us three..." I said laughing a little.

"Promise that you would not say that to anyone." Bofur was serious, and I had never seen him like that before.

"But I do not understand... if you know that they are your One, they should not feel the same way?"

Ori shook his head like Bofur, and the brothers sighed.

"You can find your One in someone, but also you can not be your One's One." Said Fili staring at me, and that left me more confused than before.

"What do you mean?"

They looked at each other and Bofur was the one who spoke. "Sometimes we do not find our One because that dwarf has died or he is far from us, but sometimes, and that rarely happens, our One finds his love in another dwarf."

"But... I thought that dwarves you only have one One."

"And that it's true." Kili said looking down. "You see... a few years ago we discovered that our mother, Dis, was Balin's One, but my mother had found his One in our father, Vili."

I looked where Balin was sat with his brother and Thorin. "But..."

Fili shook his head. "Our mother does not know, obviously. Both are have always been good friends, and when Mother married Father... Thorin told us that Balin left for years and he returned shortly after I was born."

I looked at the brothers. "But that is very sad..." I added, and the others nodded.

"You can not tell anyone, Bilbo, even our uncle. He would kill us if he knew we told anyone." I nodded and I looked at the toymaker and the scribe.

"How did you knew about this?"

"Bombur's wife told me." Bofur said quietly.

"Dwalin told me a while ago." Ori answered a little flushed.

We hear Thorin shoutting us to raise the camp and I looked at the four of them. "Let's make a deal. We help each other with our Ones, and we will never discuss this with anyone else." Bofur and Ori nodded, and then I looked at the brothers. "And when you find your One you shall tell us and we will help, okay?"

The brothers smiled and we five hugged and lauged.

"What's going on here?" Said Thorin with Dwalin approaching at his side.

"Nothing! Nothing!" We said at once and we returned to laugh out loud at the faces of Dwalin and Thorin.

Dwalin helped Ori up and took him to his pony. I went to talk to Thorin and I smiled. "Thank you for your coat." I held his coat as I bowed.

"You do not have to bow to me, not you, Bilbo." Thorin smiled and put his own coat. "I see that you are now a very good friend of Bofur's." Said raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, we have many things in common." I smiled but the King Under the Mountain did not laugh.

"Be carefull little burglar, try not to get into too much trouble."

"Uncle Boggins! Come with us! The fact that you like someone of the Company doesn't mean you will be without us" Kili shouted up in his pony, and I heard the laughter of Fili and Bofur.

Thorin growled and I tried not to do the same. "I think I got myself into trouble when I signed that contract, don't you think so, my King?" Thorin raised an eyebrow and I winked at him going with the rest of my little group, except for Ori who was with Dwalin who was speaking to him about swords and axes. Bofur hit me in the back and the brothers encouraged me for flirt with Thorin, because after what happened, after all we had been through, why not have some fun making fun of Thorin? I was not a respected Baggins after all, so...

We continue the trip as we had begun, telling stories and laughing. Gradually we approached to the place where last time we almost got eaten by trolls had it not been for the intervention of Gandalf.

Following the same argument as last time, Gandalf was gone, leaving us alone at the mercy of Trolls, but before he left I said to him. "When you get to Rivendell, tell Lord Elrond to warn Lady Galadriel without telling Saruman. When we get to Rivendell I'll talk to you three." And with that I got prepared for a busy night.

"Bombur, make dinner." Thorin ordered as we set up camp. "Fili, Kili, take care of the ponies, and get away of trouble." Both brothers went off to the ponies and I talked to Thorin.

"Thorin, can I ask you something?" I said to Thorin while he was stacking wood for a fire.

"Whatever you need, Master Baggins." I sighed. I did not like that he referred to me as that, but I could see a mocking smile on his lips.

"I wanted... I came to ask if I could please have a weapon, your majesty."

Thorin looked a little more serious. "A weapon? Do you think we can't protect you?"

"No!" I replied altered. "Of course not, only I want to be more safe."

"We'll protect you, master burglar, you do not have to worry."

"But I would be safer with a sword!"

Thorin grunted and turned away. "I will not give you a sword so you'd end up hurt, that is settle. "

Thorin moved away in search of firewood and I growled. "Stubborn dwarves!"

I returned with Bofur and Ori, and sat with them. "Trouble in paradise?"

I looked at Bofur and I groaned. I was in no mood for his jokes. "Do not worry Bilbo, Thorin has always been... like that."

"Ori is right." Bofur said. "Thorin has always been pretty stubborn. Before now I think I had only saw him smile when he was with his nephews, and since the trip started he smiles every time you speak to him." I bit my lip trying not to smile and Bofur put his arm around my shoulders. "If Nori would treat me like he treats you, I would be happy!"

"Hey, you're talking about my brother!" Groan Ori.

Then they started arguing and I took the opportunity to look where Thorin was. Thorin was looking at me but he did not look happy, he seemed quite angry. Thorin was slowly turning his eyes away from me and I felt a chill. What had I done now?

We continued talking until dinner was ready. Before I could start eating Thorin approached to us first looking at Bofur and then at me. "Burglar, lead these food to Fili and Kili." And with that he left.

I looked confused and then Bofur and Ori told me not to worry about him, so I went in search of the two brothers. I walked quietly and I watched as one of the trolls took our ponies. I left the bowls of food on a tree and when I saw Fili and Kili I looked at them angrily. "Why did you leave the ponies alone?!" I screamed in a whisper, and the two brothers apologized. "I'll go for them, you warn Thorin, no hesitations!" I took one of the swords Fili was wearing in the belt and I made them to go to the camp.

I walked over to where the trolls were discussing and with the sword I broke the tie that was keeping captive our ponies. Carefully I led them outside the camp of trolls, but one of them heard a noise coming from the forest and caused a stampede.

"What was that?" One of the trolls asked, and when I notice he I took my from my waist. " Why there is an oversized squirrel stealing our dinner!?"

"I'm not a squirrel! I'm a... burglar-hobbit!"

"A bruglar-what?"

"Release me or Mahal's wrath will fall upon you!"

One of them, Tom, laughed at me. "Can we eat it?"

Then Thorin stepped from the trees, sword in hand. "Drop him!" The trolls looked at each other.

"You what?" Tom said looking at him.

"Thorin, run!"

"Can we eat him too?" Tom looked at William who nodded.

"I said, drop him." He pointed his sword and then they threw me against him, ending both on the ground, myself above Thorin. I heard as the rest of the Company go out of the trees. Thorin lay me down. "Stay here." He ordered me and he went to fight with the others.

I groaned, I wanted to show them, him, that I also knew how to fight, so I grabbed Fili's sword and I joined them. I noticed that Ori could barely lift his slingshot and Dwalin was protecting him at his side, so I went to help Bofur who was with Oin and Balin. "Carefull Bofur!" I moved Bofur just in time because one of the trolls was going to step on him. Instead, One of them took me.

"Bilbo!" The whole Company screamed, and Fili held Thorin in his place since he seemed like he was going to kill the trolls on his own.

"Lay down your arms! Or we'll rip his off!" I stared at Thorin and I saw how defeated he seemed as he put down his arms as the rest of the Company did after.

They put us in bags like last time. We had been caught twice already! I cursed for how stupid I had been again. The dwarves who were on fire were the Ri brothers, Dwalin and Bofur. Dwalin was between Ori's legs and Bofur was between Nori's. How ironic.

"I told you to stay out of the fight." Growled Thorin beside me.

"I could not let you fight alone and ended up wounded." I replied looking at him, and Thorin looked away from me.

"You could not bear to see Bofur hurt."

I raised an eyebrow. "O-Of course, he is my friend." And then I understood. "Thorin Oakenshield, are you jealous?" Thorin growled without looking at me and I rolled my eyes. "How can you be jealous of Bofur if we are just ..."

"Can you just stop this love-fight please? We are going to be eaten by some trolls, think of something!" Said Kili hitting me, and then I thought he was right. I stood up and shouted at the trolls.

"Wait! You're making a terrible mistake! "

"Bilbo, shut up." Thorin threatened me, but I kicked him so he'd shut up.

"You can't reason with them, they're half-wits!" Shouted Dori from where they were cooking him.

"Half-wits? What does that make us?"shouted Bofur, and I groaned.

"I meant with the...uh, with the...with the seasoning." I said very seriously and all the dwarf cried out unhappy.

Bert the troll looked at me. "What about the seasoning?"

"Well, have you smelt them? You're gonna need something stronger than sage before you plate this lot up!"

"Bilbo!" I heard Thorin screaming, but I ignored him.

"What do you know about cooking dwarves?" William said disinterested, but Bert stopped him.

"Shut up, and let the...uh, flurgerburbur-hobbit talk"

I smiled with the kindest smile I could pretend, which I used to use whenever Lobelia appeared at Bag End. "The secret to cooking dwarf is ... skin them first."

"What ?! Bilbo, how could you?!" Was heard shouting at my dwarves, and they looked pretty hurt.

While the trolls were debating whether or not listen to me I looked at Thorin and whispered. "Trust me."

I saw how they took Bombur, again, and I shouted to them. "Uh...not...not that one, he...he's infected! With parasites. In fact, we all are. "

Thorin seemed to get my message and they all started shouting that they had large parasites within them. Then I saw Gandalf running throw the bushes, and something happened that last time did no. Bert took me instead of arguing with the dwarves. "And you little chatty ferret? Sure you do not have parasites." Then he opened his big mouth, ready to eat me. I heard Thorin screaming, and luckily, Gandalf cried.

"The dawn will take you all!"

Gradually the three of them became stone, and I left hanging from the hand of one of them. I could see Thorin breath of relief as he saw I was safe.

I'm going down with these ships! Actually, I really like Bilbo/Bofur but I love Thilbo and Bori, do this two are going to be only Bros.
Thank you all for those comments and favs!
