Sorry for the long update. I have a huge case of writers block :/ I'll try to update sometime next neek.
Chapter Seven
I ended up staying longer than I meant to, but the stars are just so pretty tonight. I hear some twigs snap behind me, and I grab my sword. "It's just me Bilbo," Ori says, clutching his book. "Oh, hello Ori," I say, and let go of my sword. "Thorin was getting impatient, so I offered to come get you," He says, smiling. I sigh, and smile. "Sorry, I was just enjoying the stars," I say, and he nods. "They are pretty," Ori says, as he sits next to me. "Won't they get upset if we don't go back inside soon?" I ask, and he nods. "If they can come get us, but I want to watch the stars with you," he says. I nod, and we watch the stars in silence.
After a few minutes, we hear more twigs breaking. "You were supposed to bring him in, not join him," Dwalin said, gruffly. He sits next to Ori, and pulls him close. Thorin frowns, and stands next to me. "What is so special about these stars?" he asks, and I laugh. "I just like looking at them, they're pretty," I say, and he sighs. He looks at the sky, and nods. "I guess they are, but it's getting cold," Thorin says, putting his coat around my shoulders. Dwalin puts a blanket around Ori, and Ori blushes. "We will take watch, why don't you go back in. Thorin is still recovering," Ori says, and I nod. I get up, and Thorin grabs my hand. We walk inside, and notice everyone's asleep. We pick a spot away from everyone, and lay our beds down.
Thorin lies down slowly, and I lay next to him. He pulls me close, and I put his jacket around us. "Can I ask you something hobbit?" Thorin asks, and I nod. "Of course," I say, wondering what he wants to know. "When this trip is over, and we take back Erebor. Would you stay there with me, and help me run it by my side?" He asks, and I freeze. I'm shocked; I didn't know he cared so strongly for me. Do I say yes? Or will he leave me if I say no? "A-are you sure? I'm just a simple hobbit," I say, and he shakes his head. "You are much more than that and I am very sure," he says, and kisses my cheek. "w-will I be able to visit the shire still?" I ask, worried he'll say no. He chuckles, and puts his hand on my cheek. "Of course, and maybe I will visit with you. I know Fili, and Kili would love to see it again," Thorin says, thinking.
I lay there thinking for a while, and can tell Thorin is getting nervous. I know what I'm going to do. I look him in the eyes, and smile softly. "I would love to stay with you, and help you rule," I say, and Thorin grins. He pulls me into a deep kiss, that I can't help moaning. "T-Thorin the others," I pant out, as he kisses down my neck. He sighs, and nips my ear. "I will stop, if that is what you want," Thorin says, and looks at me. I nod, blushing. He smiles and kisses me one last time. "Goodnight my little hobbit," he says, and I pout at being called little but smile when he yawns. "Goodnight my king," I say, falling asleep. The last thing I see is Thorin's face turning bright red, and a soft smile on his face.
(Thorin's Pov)
HE SAID YES! I watch him sleep with a huge grin. I am glad the others are asleep, or I would never live it down. I rest my hand on Bilbo's waist and kiss his forehead. How can one little hobbit, have so much of my heart already? He mumbles something in his sleep, and I move closer to hear him. "Thorin mm love you," my little halfing mumbles in his sleep. I blush a little and kiss him. "I love you too," I whisper, and get ready for sleep to take me. Soon, I will have my kingdom back and my lovely hobbit there to rule beside me. It can't come soon enough. I yawn, and descend into the land of dreams.
