A/N:Hello! So, after taking ages to update, here it is, the next chapter. Hope you enjoy! Please review, opinions are very important to me!

Thorin stared expectantly at Bilbo for what felt like hours. He felt more and more awkward with each passage second, having just opened his heart to the man he had just heroically rescued. At first, Bilbo was looking back at him with a puzzled look, and then, when he realised Thorin wanted an answer, he started looking a bit panicky. Thorin sighed. This always happened, people got scared with their first look upon Thorin, as if he was going to yell at them at any moment. He knew he had a bad temper, but he wasn't a mad ogre. He supposed it could be his frowning, but he could hardly help it, his whole family had that trademark frown and he made it without even noticing. But he didn't care about people, he cared about Bilbo, so he tried his best to smooth his brow a little.

"So..."

"Wait, just one minute, what you are saying is that we went into that club to screw the frat boys' party because you wanted to steal the leader's boyfriend?" asked Dwalin, his best friend and second in command. He was crossing his arms and looking at Thorin as if he was the most ridiculous person in the world. Thorin looked at him defiantly and was about to answer something very clever, but Bilbo chimed in.

"I'm not Smaug's boyfriend" irritation clear in his voice.

"Of course you're not, it wasn't you who he was holding, was it?" said Gloin.

"Don't be like that, I'm sure he wants to be with him but can't, he's a big deal in his frat, you know" offered Bofur, an encouraging tone always in his voice.

"Pffft, if he wanted to be with him, he would be, everything is possible in love and war" said Nori rolling his eyes.

"Who said anything about love? Maybe he only likes the small one because of his wandering fingers?" said Dwalin again.

"I think that's enough, thank you, I don't think any of you should be commenting on what Smaug and I are or how we feel about each other." interrupted Bilbo with an annoyed glance at Thorin's friends.

Thorin rolled his eyes at the lot of them "Doesn't mean what they say is not true."

"I thought I had made it clear, you don't know me, and I'm really sorry, but I want to leave now."

"But, wait, don't you, you know, wouldn't you like to come with us and have a burger? And a milkshake?" said Bofur cheerfully, stepping nearer to Bilbo and offering him a warm grin.

Thorin was grateful, he wasn't good at making new friends or at making people feel comfortable around him. His friends had been with him his whole life, he couldn't remember a time in which they weren't all already there, and they all grew together and loved each other just how they were. Any new acquaintance was either because of Bofur, or Balin, but no one ever made it inside their group. Not even any love interest or relation. Sure, the group accepted the person whichever of them chose, but only as their beloved ones, not as members of the group.

Bilbo looked hesitantly at Bofur, who's smile hadn't faded, and then turned to look at Thorin, who offered a small smile.

"W-well, I am hungry, and I do like sharing a nice meal. Thank you."

Bofur clapped his hands together and wheeled around "Bombur! Gear up, we're going to Mamma's!"

Everyone cheered at the words, and even Thorin's stomach joined in. They checked the street for any sign of enemies, and when they found none, the made towards the burger place Bofur and Bombur's parents owned.

"You will love it there, I swear, Bombur cooks, when he's not at school of course, and he is brilliant!" said Bofur at Bilbo's side.

It didn't make Thorin too happy, that it was Bofur the one who was making Bilbo comfortable and not him, but he had time. Well, he hoped he had anyway.

"Thorin, what exactly are we doing?" murmured Dwalin walking next to him.

"We're going to The Blue Mountain, why?"

"Don't be stupid, you know what I mean!"

Thorin sighed at his friend "I don't know, Dwalin, I haven't got the faintest idea. I didn't even know what I was gonna do once we were there, I had no plan, I just...I just knew I had to take him, you know? I knew I had to get him out of there and away from him."

"Ok, but for what?"

"Well.. I... I just, think that... I think I..." he trailed off, because he knew he liked Bilbo, but he didn't know if Bilbo liked him back. But obviously not, Bilbo didn't even know who he was! He knew he had to keep Bilbo away from Smaug but the reason and the plan once Bilbo was away were unknown to Thorin, because Bilbo didn't like him back, and so, he wouldn't be interested on being Thorin's anything. He hadn't say yes to Thorin's proposition, right?

A heavy palm patted his shoulder on one side and a gentler one squeezed the other side.

"Well, Thorin, I think you will have time to figure that plan out, right?" said Balin, walking now on his other side.

"Well, Bilbo seems to like Smaug a lot, he put up with his everything, he will obviously go back to him first thing tomorrow! I can't make him do anything against his will, Balin. I don't think I have time." answered Thorin with a dark voice.

"Oh, in that case, we will get that time for you" offered Balin winking at Thorin.
