On Saturday morning, Kili was so relieved. Today was a normal day, he had nothing to care about, he just had to get up, have his breakfast and hang around. This day, him and Thorin just stayed at home and ordered chinese food for their lunch so they would not have to go outside. Kili was still preoccupied though. He didn't know how long he would be able to handle this situation with Thranduil and when Fili would be back, would it be different ? He couldn't tell. During the afternoon, Kili heard a phone conversation between Thorin and his date. He didn't know who she or he was. Probably a « she ». He only understood that they were going to have a date on sunday afternoon at a café called Lake something near from the restaurent Erebor. He and Thorin used to go to this place before the owner changed. Anyway, Kili didn't like that his uncle will leave him but he felt bad for thinking that. His uncle, after all, deserved to have some fun with other people than him. Plus it was just for an afternoon.

The next day, when Kili got up and met Thorin in the kitchen, he really saw excitement on his face and also a bit of stress. He wanted all to be perfect, which Kili didn't really understand, it was just a date like another but whatever he was happy for him to have someone. The morning happened really quickly and when he was finally ready, Thorin left the house. It was about 2 p.m. Kili just watched his uncle close the door and then got back to his bedroom and fell on the bed. It was one of the place he prefered the most in the house, it was his sacred place where nothing bad could happen. He picked up his phone in his right pocket and started to type a message.

When Thorin entered the car, he turned his head and watched the window of his nephew's bedroom, a bit worried. He knew that something was going on with his nephew but he also wanted to keep seeing his boyfriend regurlarly and after all it was just an afternoon. Kili should be fine on his own. When he started the car and drove to their meeting place, he felt a lot of joy growing inside of him. The two of them haven't seen since a week and it had been very brief, he missed the sound of his voice and the softness of his lover's lips on his. When he arrived, he saw his lover's face through the window and started to doubt if he wasn't late, so he rushed out of the car and nearly broke the door while entering the café. The brunet got up and rushed into Thorin's arm, and they started to kiss passionately in front of all the costumers and waiters. Some were smiling at them, others a bit wondered but Thorin and Bard didn't care, they just missed each other too much to liberate the other from the kiss. Then the urge to breath appeared so they both stopped and Bard lead his boyfriend to the table he was sat at before Thorin entered the café.

« So ?

- So what ? Thorin looked at him a bit disconcerted.

- Well you know. How is Kili doing ? Does he fit in ? I know he already had some trouble in the past.

- I'm a bit concerned. I think he's hidding something from me but I can not tell what. Maybe it's about his brother coming back. They've been away from each other for so long and they shared such a profound bond. He says that everything is okay but...

Bard took Thorin's hand and pressed it.

- Listen to me, I'm sure everything's okay. It's just the beginning, he doesn't know anyone so he's affraid but I'm sure when his brother'll be back it's just going to be fine.

- I guess you're right. You know I don't want to bother you with all of this.

- You don't !

- Still. Let's talk about something else. I didn't have the chance to ask you but what were you doing in Thranduil's office ?

- So now... It's not boss but Thranduil ? I see.

Thorin didn't smile anymore, his face showed how panicked he was. Bard started to laugh.

- Hey I'm kidding ! I was there for some new disfunctional products. Whatever.

With a dull tone Thorin replied

- You know that there's nothing between us. This man repulse me and I won't ever leave you for anyone else.

- Hey it was a joke. I know you won't. You love too much my cooking skills for that. »

They both started to laugh and got closer to kiss. And they kept chatting like that as Bard ordered a coffee and Thorin a beer. About an hour later, Bard suggested them to go to his appartement, it wasn't far from the café and would allow them more privacy. When they arrived in the building they didn't even bother to wait to be in Bard's appartement to start kissing. They started to take their jacket off as soon as their entered the elevator. It was too much waiting and they didn't had the patience to.

Kili picked up the phone and searched his brother name in his contact list. He started to type :

« Hey Fee :-) ». He waited a few seconds before locking the phone and droping it on the sheets of the bed. Nothing happened during several minutes. Maybe he was busy and didn't have time for him. The phone lit up, and Kili rushed on it.

« Hey Kee:D ! How you doing ? ». Kili was so happy that his brother replied, he couldn't have stayed all alone for hours. Kili felt bad for thinking that his brother wouldn't take the time to reply even if he was occupied. He swiftly pressed the buttons to reply to his brother and they kept on chatting :

- I'm fine, what about you ? Have you started to pack your stuff ?:-) I can't wait to see you ! I missed you so much, you have no idea.

- I'm fine. Haha I know I know ;-). Are you with uncle Tho ?

- Nah, he left for a date. Idk with who.

- Reaaally ? Our grumpy uncle finally found someone ?!

- Yeah and he seemed really stressed, I think it's serious.

- I want to know who is the one !

… That means you're all alone ?

- Don't worry, I'm fine !

- What are you doing ?:O

- Well, talking to you and just laying on the bed.

- You sure you're okay ?

- Of course I am ! Only wish... you know..

- What ?

- You were next to me.

The next reply from Fili took a minute. Kili thought his brother left the conversation but then he received a picture of Fili laying on a bed and smiling. Kili missed the blond face more than anything. His perfect blond hair falling on his shoulders and that small goatee beard. His eyes were so shiny and that mile made him look even more perfect. Fili simply looked like an angel. His angel.

- I'm next to you ;-)

Kili did the same and sent him a picture of him.

- Thanks Fee.

- I'll be here soon. I have to go pack some stuff, see you.

- Bye.

Kili held on tight to the phone observing every single pixel of the picture his brother sent. And he stayed there like that for few hours before his uncle came back. When Kili heard the sound of the door opening he got up, letting the phone behind him and walked downstair. Seeing the expression of happiness on his uncle face, he obviously had a good date. Kili spotted a little mark in Thorin neck.

« - Hey Kili. Did you have a good afternoon ?

- Yeah I talked with Fili, he's fine. Packing stuff.

- Good.

- Huh.. uncle...

- What ?

- You.. Nothing.

Kili pointed him akwardly and just left and went to the kitchen leaving Thorin confused. He turned and looked into the mirror, eyes wide open, and observed a big red mark in his neck. It wasn't small and everyone could see it. Thorin realised that Bard gave him a hickey. Damn. How was he going to hide this. A part of him was a bit embarassed but somehow he was proud of this hickey and wanted to show it to Thranduil. Show him that he wasn't his property, show him that he already had someone. However, he would find a way to cover that tomorrow. Right now, all he wanted was to spend the rest of the evening with his nephew and relax.

After dinner they just sat on the couch and started to watch a movie. Kili didn't pay much attention and Thorin fell asleep really quickly. When the movie was over, Kili left Thorin on the couch and went to his room. He took off his shirt and his pants and went to the bed. There was his phone, he took it and saw that there was an unread message. It was another photo from Fili. It was a picture of him asleep in his bed with the message : « Sleeping next to my brother ». Even if Fili was under his sheets, Kili noticed that his brother wasn't wearing a shirt. Kili sliped into his bed thinking about the skin of his brother. Fili's soft skin against his. Kili was so peaceful. Nothing mattered. He quickly fell asleep thinking about his brother.

The following day was really calm, nothing happened. Fortunately no one noticed the hickey on Thorin's neck and Thranduil was nowhere to be seen which was a relief for Kili. It was a completely normal day. Kili spent most of his time daydreaming about when Fili arriving in two days.
