When Kili managed to drag Bofur into his room, the older man was undoubtedly amazed. Even though it was pretty small for the size of the apartment they were in, it was still big- in Bofur's eyes- just for one person to live in.
It seemed barely lived in, for the walls didn't have anything on them and the only real furniture inside was a bed, a desk, a window frame, a nightstand, and a wardrobe. The walls were a light green color and the furniture was all brown.
"And this is my room!" Kili announced with a sweeping gesture, most probably imagining Bofur fawning over the grandeur he saw.
Bofur really was amazed by it, but he wasn't about to start fawning over the lad's room. That wasn't too respectable in his eyes.
"Swell room, lad." Bofur remarked, trying to loosen his hand from the iron grip Kili had it in. "But I don't really think I-"
"Will really fit in here?" Kili finished for him, even though Bofur was pretty sure he knew that wasn't where he was going. "Nonsense, Mr. Funny Guy!"
With that Kili led Bofur towards his bed and threw him on it, making the older man grunt in slight shock at the force he was thrown with, then look on in slight confusion as Kili bent to the bottom of the bed and started pulling out a bed from there.
"Tada!" Kili sang as he sprang up, pointing at the roll-out bed he had just produced.
Bofur looked at him with slightly disinterested eyes, but that disinterest left when a knock was heard on the door.
"Kili, I brought Bofur some clothing."
Kili pursed his lips at this, walking over to the door. "But he could have just borrowed some of mine."
"Yeah, but you're too tall. I'm pretty sure my size is closer to his than to yours."
Bofur nodded at the logic, completely agreeing with it, then he pursed his own lips.
Was he really going to let these kids have their way with him? Why wouldn't he just stand up and tell them he really was going to leave?
"You're a mean older brother, Fili!" Kili groaned while crossing his arms, slouching as he knew that he had lost this small argument.
Fili smirked at his younger sibling but instead of boasting at the victory the blonde turned towards Bofur with a kind smile.
"They're just some pajama pants Kili bought for me a year or two ago that I never wear and a worn shirt." He explained as he handed them over to the older man who eyed the black garments slightly warily.
Once he had both things in his hands Bofur unfolded them only to be surprised with what he found. The pajama pants were all black, extremely soft, with two pockets and even had a small design of a star in a circle at the right hip. Underneath of the circle were the words 'Supernatural Join the hunt' which Bofur, of course, had no idea as to what it meant.
The shirt, on the other hand, was also extremely soft and pure black, but Bofur actually knew where this reference came from. It was a Joker shirt, the psychopath posing proudly at the front with a broad smile while Harley hugged him from behind..
Bofur quirked an eyebrow at both items, and Kili smiled brightly at him.
"It was from a friend of ours! He said Fili and I have a Harley-Joker relationship where I'm Harley!" With this the young man wrapped an arm around his shorter brother as if trying to further explain without using any more words.
Bofur was thoroughly confused by this.
Fili shrugged him off- albeit with a smile- and opened the door to Kili's room. "The bathroom's right in front of you. It's kind of hard to miss, too. Has a large sign that reads 'bathroom'." Fili told him.
"And why would you make it so conspicuous?" Bofur asked as he folded up the clothing and draped it over his left forearm.
"Because our friends kept getting lost in the apartment." Kili answered then shrugged. "It was actually our uncle's idea. If it were up to Fili and I there wouldn't be a sign there."
Fili nodded, "That's true. If they can't find the bathroom themselves they shouldn't be allowed to use it."
"That is... Kind of harsh of you two..." Bofur breathed, unsure of what else to say.
Both brothers looked at one another, shrugged, and smiled at Bofur. "Oh well. What can you do, Mr. Funny Guy?" Kili asked, only to push him softly towards the doorway. "Now go change and come back as soon as possible! I want to play truth or dare with you and Fili!"
Fili quirked an eyebrow at his brother, just as surprised to hear this as Bofur apparently.
"Just... Why would you think we'd play that childish game, Kili?"
The younger shrugged, "Just thought it might have been fun, bro."
Fili rolled his eyes at his brother's words and turned to Bofur. "Good night, Bofur."
With that the eldest brother left Bofur alone with Kili. And, for some odd reason, Bofur did not like that at all. He actually felt deep inside himself that if he allowed Kili, the younger would make do many things Bofur would normally not consent to. He just seemed to have that gift of gab that made anyone agree with him.
As if sensing the elder's trepidation Kili turned to him, broad smirk in place. Fortunately, though, before he could do anything, Bofur neared the door and ran to the bathroom. "Going to change!" He gave as an excuse before he slammed the bathroom's door, huffing loudly.
Just what what was it about these kids that he still couldn't say no to them?
Luckily enough for Bofur, the night wasn't as eventful as he would have expected. Apparently Kili really had tired himself out during the day, so when Bofur had come back to the room dressed in Fili's pajamas the younger was already in bed, hugging a stuffed bear tightly to his chest.
He yawned loudly as he saw Bofur enter the room, and with a complacent smile on his face told him, "Goodnight Mr. Funny Guy. Please don't run away while we sleep."
Bofur quirked an eyebrow at the request but shook his head and allowed a small smile to graze his lips. It may have been a forced outing, but in retrospect, having met these brothers was certainly one of the best things to have happened to him in a long time.
So without even thinking of leaving Bofur got comfortable in the roll out bed Kili had prepared for him, placed his hat down on the nightstand beside him, and closed his eyes. This also proved to be the first time in a long time that he actually slept in a comfortable bed without having to worry about anything of his getting stolen by another bum.
In the morning he was awoken by poke on his cheek while someone- undoubtedly Kili- whispered for him to get up.
"Come on... Fili's making some of his famous pancakes with bacon... It's bacon, dude..."
Bofur allowed one eye to open so he could softly glare at the young man poking him, but only found him smiling brightly.
It was actually kind of cute. Kili reminded Bofur of himself back when he was that age. Of course, he had been less rich at that time and living in his cousin's home with his younger brother, but that was beside the point. It seemed as if Kili just couldn't keep the smile off his face. That was actually pretty refreshing for Bofur.
"Can I not sleep for a few more minutes, lad?"
"You know, I really like that. You calling me lad." Bofur sighed as Kili continued poking him, letting him know that he had to wake up right now. "Starting from today on you can't call anyone but me lad. It's your nickname for me now and can't nobody else have it."
"That's a double negative brother, it means he can call someone else lad."
"Fili! I thought you were making breakfast!"
Bofur silently thanked Fili as Kili's constant poking left him, giving him at least a few more seconds to keep his eyes closed.
"I was." Fili sighed as Kili's arms wrapped around his shoulders, huggin him tightly. "But I came up here while the pancakes cooked because I was worried you would be bothering our guest."
Kili smiled broadly at his brother and motioned to brother. "Well, as you can see, I was not bothering but instead waking him up."
Fili looked at him with an unimpressed gaze then turned to Bofur with a soft smile. "You will be joining us for breakfast, right? I'd be upset because I already made yours."
Bofur looked up at both brothers and much to his disappointment both were giving him pleading looks, especially Fili. The older man groaned softly as he threw one arm over his face but used the other to wave at them.
"Sure. I'll stay."
