Everyone ate sharing stories, having belching contests (they all thought Ori had won till bilbo showed the prowess of hobbits), some even asked what weapons bilbo could use which had kili vibrating in his seat to know their mum had taught their little brother now dubbed Bili how to use the bow and even gave him the one they had their uncle make for her before she had left them as dwarflings, fili was happy Bili could use daggers and knives to his level of proficiency.

Soon enough most the table was cleared and food was set aside for this mysterious 'uncle' that Bili was yet to meet.

Bilbo was not exactly your normal hobbit for he had secrets that most of hobbiton would choke at, he had the healing abilities of took's, dwarves for brothers and the name of his soulmate tattooed on his back along with a large tree made up of khuzdul runes the detail in the tattoo was so fine there was no way it had been made by hand, only magic could perform such a feet.

The name of his mate had been a controversy between he and his mother, for she would not tell him about him, bilbo knew it was a male dwarf, that his mother knew him that his name was Thorin Oakenshield but that was it, bilbo was thinking about all this after kili had said their uncle Thorin was coming just running late, swallowing the lump in his throat he hoped it was a different Thorin, but knowing his luck, unlikely.

There was knock at the door and Gandalf answered it and bilbo heard the most sinfully smooth erotic voice he had ever heard, he moaned at the sound drawing attention to himself, his eyes were wide his pupils dilated, breath came in short pants, bilbo was affected by his mere presence.

Thorin looked at the hobbit, shocked to see the face of his one starring back at him, you see when dwarves come of age they dream about their one, they witness events from the life of their one, they see it all but can't hear anything or effect what is happening Thorin had seen that belladonna had moved on and had a family, he did not begrudge her that, but when he saw that her son was his mate he was stricken.

Over the years he had learned to accept that the young hobbit was his mate and swore he would help bring the old adventurer out in his one, 'Thorin Oakenshield may I introduce Bilbo Baggins' "so that is his name, long have I seen your face in my dreams" Thorin quietly confessed, a chorus of gasps issued between the dwarves, kili stepped forward about to put his foot in it.

'Kili I already know he's your brother, but for as long as he has lived he has been my one, I have accepted him as he is' Thorin stated leaving no room for argument, bilbo was having an internal battle of wills over his worthiness to such a mighty dwarf, a leader, a king, an uncle and friend to all others present, to which his heart had all but crumbled when his head reminded him, he's nothing but a pathetic hobbit, not noble, not erotic and definitely not a warrior.

Whilst kili and Thorin were speaking bilbo slunk away to his study closing and locking the door, ori, balin and Gandalf noticed this, they all sighed realising that bilbo had just rejected the bond, through fear he was not worthy, you could practically see the self loathing written across the hobbits face, Thorin gave a startled gasp when a sharp pain lanced in his chest, he knew this pain, it was the pain his sister had suffered since she had rejected Donna, Thorin had feared this pain ever since.

The mighty dwarf king fell to his knees and wept, his mate had rejected him, balin came and spoke quickly to his king,"he believes he's not worthy of you, go to him prove him wrong, do not sit by like dis did, make him see that he's the only one for you" 'thorin looked to his friend brokenly, nodded cleared his eyes and stood with determination.

Meanwhile ori had coaxed bilbo into letting him into the study, 'you know I found my one too, I thought myself unworthy' "how did you change your mind" 'he did, he wouldn't let me believe that, Thorin won't rest till you believe that your worthy, Dwalin didn't, now we've been together for a year, much to the annoyance of my brothers, but tough luck, he's my one, the only one I could be with and be happy' "thankyou ori".

After ori had left, Thorin walked in 'master Baggins, I have seen your whole life, watched you take your first steps, your first fight, your first adventure, your first smile and what a smile it is, your life amazes me how you could be so happy and strong even after that winter, you are everything that my soul desires bilbo, only you, there is no other that could complete me, no other that could hold sway over my heart, you are worth more to me than all the gold in Erebor'.

'Thorin, I... I never thought we would meet, my mother recognised your name but would not tell me about you, but to find out your the uncle of my brothers, the leader of this group and the king to your people, well... Well it's a lot to take in, how can I a simple hobbit be worthy of a mighty warrior like you, a king no less' bilbo asked dejectedly "what do you mean your mother recognised my name" Thorin asked confused 'it's on my back in dwarfish runes' shock showed even if briefly in Thorin's eyes.

"May I see" Thorin asked breathlessly, bilbo hesitantly removed his suspenders and lifted the back of his shirt and slowly turned so Thorin could see the most detailed tatto he had ever seen, in big bold written khuzdul was his name in a banner at the base of a runic ancient oak tree, it was an exquisite masterpiece that almost brought Thorin to his knees.

(A.N) art of bilbo's tattoo is to follow, it will become the cover pic, I just have to finish drawing it.
