AN: Bilbo and Thorin are slowly getting their man.
Thank you every one who has read, favorited and followed this story with special thanks *pulls out a tray with desserts, drinks and toothpicks* to Belieber Twihard, viridianaln9, DragonFireCheetah, Alonia143 , Anime Princess, Iridescent Bellisle Cullen for the comments.
So should I cover what happens with the Ring in this story or just leave it hanging or make it a sequel?
People often overlook him, thinking him to be stupid that he would not understand what they say. In a way that helps him. It lets him see things, like how his Bombur found his One, a baker who makes the best desserts. Like how his Bofur is trying to snare a certain thief. Like how the Prince is starting to lose hope, that his anger is slowly slipping away and going into slow acceptance. It also helps him see when Thorin makes his move. He nearly smacks his King for that. It hasn't been very long and Bilbo is like a rabbit, easy to startle and scare. Thankfully unlike rabbits their Burglar won't die of shock… Hopefully.
Bofur is sitting beside him nursing a hangover and Bifur can only chuckle at his cousin.
"You got what you deserved drinking so much," he grunts not keeping his voice down at all.
"You did not get asked what I was asked."
He laughs loudly, he is going to enjoy his stay here.
So of course if he notices slow overtures between Bilbo and Thorin over the next couple of days it's not his fault new information is added to Nori's growing book. He also greatly enjoys the company of the little ones. It's always the little ones who accept him despite the axe in his head. Bombur's very large hoard, and he says that lovingly, of children will love these five. Although he doesn't know how ofter the little Man will be able to come to Erebor.
It's been three weeks that they have been in Rivendell and Dis has started to send worried messages. As much as she wants her brother to reconnect with his One, the Council of Elders however are vicious and she's close to murdering them. Dis's letters, when not filled with threats to her brother's person are often passed around for amusement and because they often have side notes from their families.
"Mister Bifur! Mister Bifur! Come quick! Mister King is about to give Mister Bilbo a bad bunch of flowers!" the shouting of a little one shakes him from his thoughts and he sees Sam, the one who likes him and Bombur the most, waving his hands. He grimaces and follows the little blond to the gardens. Thorin is staring at the other three Hobbit babes like they have grown heads. The Elven gardens are magic, having flowers that bloomed even if they are out of season. His King is holding a bouquet of Anemone, Striped Carnations, Rhododendron, and Lobelia flowers. Bifur shakes his head and takes the flowers from the gobsmacked King. Pippin pats Thorin's hand in a way only a child can.
"What is wrong with those? They look pretty."
"Flowers have Meaning Mister Thorin. And those aren't something you want to Say to Uncle Bilbo. Don't worry Sam will make ya a good one."
Sam pales slightly but he nods his head before rushing about to do just that. The little one chooses pink and red Tulips along with Ranunculus, Poppy, Peony and Daisy flowers. He presents it to Thorin with a very serious face.
"And he will like this?"
"Will I like what?"
Both of Bifur's eyebrows raise when Thorin jumps at the appearance of Bilbo. Thorin holds out the flowers to Bilbo who blushes and happily takes them with a soft look.
"I'm glad I found you Thorin… I wanted to talk to you."
