When the time Thorin had promised to pick him up rolled around, Bilbo began to get anxious. And as the time passed, he began to get annoyed. And after a few hours of sitting by the door, jumping at every car that drove by, he decided to give up and began to change from his formal attire to something more comfortable. Just as he finished undressing there came a knock at the door. Bilbo cursed quietly and began pulling his pants back on, before hurrying to the door. He wrenched it open, preparing a scolding for Thorin's untimely arrival. Only, instead of Thorin at the door, there was Kili. His expression was strained and nervous. "You were wearing that to take uncle out on a date?" Kili tried to sound light but his words were soaked with worry.
"I was dressed but he was so late I figured he'd stood me up." Bilbo huffed.
"My uncle?" Kili seemed to take that as a personal offence, insult overtaking the worry painted face.
"Would you like to come in?" Bilbo asked.
"Actually I would." Kili said pushing his way inside and dropping the paper he'd been clutching into Bilbo's hands. He quickly shed his coat and before Bilbo knew what was happening, Fili had dragged Thorin's slumped body inside too. The trio flopped down on his couch before the brothers looked at Bilbo expectantly.
"Do you want anything?" Bilbo asked looking forlornly at his kitchen.
"I'd simply love some beer." Fili said smiling as Thorin's unconscious head rested heavily on his shoulder.
"And I wouldn't say no to one either." Kili said flashing a smile.
"Should I get him ice or something?" Bilbo asked as he looked at Thorin, noting the blood dripping from him onto the couch.
"Oh yeah sure." Fili nodded as if Thorin's lifeless form was an afterthought. Bilbo nodded as he went to his kitchen to fetch their orders. Upon his return, and with cool beers in their hands, the brothers decided it would be a good time for them to leave.
"Uncle Thorin won't be a bother. Just let him lay there. He shouldn't wake till morning." Kili said smiling as he and his brother headed to the door.
"Are you sure he'll be okay?" Bilbo asked looking at the bruised and bloody body taking up his couch. Thorin had fallen over when Fili left and, Bilbo had to admit, it did not look very comfortable.
"He'll be fine!" Kili assured Bilbo before taking Fili's hand and dragging his brother away.
"Oh…okay." Bilbo said after the door had shut behind the brothers, leaving him alone with Thorin. His eyes shifted nervously to Thorin. He let out a heavy sigh before he began scuttling about the house.
