-Hey, i'm back with the next chapter! Hope you enjoy!
Thorin's P.O.V.
I wondered on where that blasted hobbit had gone! I walked in the direction on where he went, but there was no sign of him anywhere. "Bilbo...where are you?" I whispered to myself.
"I'm right here, Thorin. Why, is there something wrong?"
I jumped and whipped around to find the hobbit sitting on a rock. He wasn't there a moment ago...
"Where were you, if I may ask." I said to hide my embarrassment of being caught off guard.
"Just went for a stroll to clear my head." Bilbo said quickly. I noticed that his hair was wet.
"Well, come along, burglar, or else the rest of the company will wonder where you've been." Bilbo nodded and jumped nimbly off the rock and the two of us made it to the campsite.
Bilbo's P.O.V.
'I'm lucky that Thorin doesn't suspect anything.' I thought as I settled down to sleep. At least now that I had drank, I wouldn't have any problems for a long time.
"Say, Bilbo, you look refreshed." Ori complied, looking over at me.
"Yes, I feel much better than I have for many years." I explained, stretching my tired limbs. It was a revolting feeling, but, sadly, it was true. I felt refreshed and strong once more. I hadn't felt this powerful since long ago.
"Well, goodnight, Ori." I whispered, turning my back on the group so they couldn't see my tears.
'Oh, when will this hell end?'
Thorin's P.O.V.
I noticed the look on Bilbo's face when he explained that he felt better. It was twisted in loathing, and a large amount of sadness. I didn't know why it pained my to see Bilbo like that, but it did.
"Are you alright, laddie?"
I looked from Bilbo's sleeping frame to see Balin make his way to sit beside me. "I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
Balin looked me straight in the eye. "I noticed on how you were staring at Bilbo just now."
"I wasn't staring at him." I proclaimed, looking away so Balin wouldn't see the lie.
"Laddie, haven't you noticed that the rest of us have seen how the two of you stare at each other. Trust me," Balin continued when he saw Thorin's look of shock, "Bilbo has looked at you the same way whenever he thinks no one is looking."
I watched as Balin stood up and walked over to his brother.
Well, I guess I'll have to be more careful...
-Hey, sorry it's short. I'll work on it, i promise. But, here is chapter two!
