Ours

by Princess Shania

While in Rivendell, it comes to the Dwarves' attentions that their burglar is infatuated with the Elves...and that they're infatuated with him! In their own ways, they try to show that Bilbo is theirs...and learn a few things along the way. R&R!

8. Ori

I don't own The Hobbit. If I did, a lot of things would be different. like Bagginshield would be canon and..anyway, enjoy and don't forget to review!xx

I nearly fall over as a small force knocks into me.

"Ori!" Small hands grip my arms and haul me to stand up straight. "I'm so sorry! Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." I say, smiling at the Hobbit. "Where are you going in such a hurry, if I may ask?"

"I need to speak to Thorin."

"Oh. Why?"

"Because he's hiding something apparently."

"Thorin?"

"That's what I was told."

Who'd be foolish enough to tell Bilbo of Thorin's feelings for him? "Who told you?"

"Oin and Gloin."

"Did they say what?"

"Just that there was a reason for the fact I'm not allowed to have relations with the Elves and that he could tell me." He says. His eyes are dark and curious.

"Well, make sure you don' agitate him, Bilbo."

"I don't care if I do. He can't tell me who I can and cannot be with."

"Who d'you want to be with?" I ask before I can stop myself.

He blushes. "I...oh, it doesn't matter." Quietly, he mutters. "I doubt he feels the same way."

"Is it one of us?"

"He doesn't feel the same." Bilbo murmurs and he silently sweeps by. I don't know, but I think I'm starting to realize who that someone might be.
