Disclaimer: I do not own The Hobbit
When they arrived at the airport, Bilbo was, oddly, not surprised, although he was still petrified. This time it was just the four of them and Thorin seemed to be watching Bilbo out of the corner of his eye. When they finally boarded the plane and it had taken off Kili and Fili went to check the drinks. Thorin's eyes landed on Bilbo and he was scowling. It was scary, but did not overtake Bilbo's fear of flight. "You have been acting odd." Thorin said, eyes narrowing into a sharp glare.
"Don't frighten him uncle!" Kili called from behind a curtain that blocked the store of refreshments from the sitting area.
"Are you spying on us?" He hissed quietly. Bilbo stood up and huffed, clearly very put out.
"Thorin you are simply horrid! I took care of you without pressing for information on what happened. I have done my job exemplary and put up with your family's oddities. I even stayed silent about my fear of flying so as not to bother you! And this is the thanks I get?" Bilbo was seething. "Some boss." He hissed.
"Uncle!" Fili chide as he and his brother returned.
"Insulting our cute little secretary." Kili said putting a hand on top of Bilbo's head.
"You've upset the delicate internal balance of our pet." Fili frowned at his uncle.
"Poor Bilbo." Purred Kili as he yanked an unsuspecting Bilbo into a bear hug. When he released him Fili snatched him up.
"Yes. Poor little Bilbo." He said soothingly.
"Your turn uncle." Kili said as they held Bilbo in place, standing before Thorin. Bilbo seemed unhappy but, oddly, less angry.
"Do as we did." Fili nodded. Thorin sighed heavily before awkwardly indulging his nephews. He slowly and warily curled his arms around Bilbo giving him a light squeeze before releasing him.
"What just happened?" Bilbo asked. He felt like a play thing that Fili and Kili had just used for entertainment, a children's toy.
"Now uncle, tell Bilbo what happened last night." Kili said as he and his brother took their seats.
"He knows." Thorin said.
"But does he know who it was?" Fili asked.
"Smaug." Thorin tried to sound nonchalant.
"Who is…" Kili prodded.
"He is rumored to be the arsonist that murdered my grandfather and put my father in a coma before he too died." Thorin said, his voice even and calm.
"That's horrible!" Bilbo blurted. He felt the need to give Thorin another hug. "But now that he attacked you, you can have him arrested. Right?" Bilbo asked.
"Ask him where we're headed." Fili said, seeming off topic.
"Where're we headed?" Bilbo asked hesitantly.
"The long flight from your little country of Shire to my country, and to my mountain." Thorin said.
"Uncle's running away." Kili said frowning at his uncle.
"I'm sure he's just preparing himself. No need to get into silly fights when one's injured." Bilbo said trying to defend Thorin.
"It was not silly!" Snarled Thorin. "I was insulted."
"And he threw the first punch." Kili added.
"Uncle is right for once." Fili nodded the rest of the flight was filled with Fili and Kili chatting while the other two remained silent.
