Thanks for all the lovely reviews I have gotten:) I really appreciate all of them!

Here is chapter six:) I hope you all enjoy it:)


Thorin sighed as he stepped out of the house. The little boys had already discovered the paint and were all over it. Kili was painting grass with his hands and Fili was mixing colors, trying to create new ones.

Dis showed up behind Thorin and watched the boys play with paint. She grinned: 'Better make sure there is still any paint left, brother.'

Thorin was quick with rushing over to the dwarfings. He took the cans from Fili and said: 'Fee, we need that paint for the house. And we use paintbrushes for this job. Go grab a brush for you and Kili. And wash your hands.' Fili sighed and stood up. He wanted to rub the paint off on his clothes but Dis was faster: 'No, Fili. That's dirty. Don't rub it on your clothes. Get inside and wash them. I'll grab the brushes.' 'Mother..' Fili started but Dis pointed to the house. He sighed and walked back.

Thorin had picked up Kili: 'Little one, we don't use our hands to paint. Especially not grass. Shall we go clean up to start the real deal?' Kili nodded and gestured to be put down again. Thorin did it and walked with him back inside, hand on the back of his head. Dis smiled and started looking for the brushes.

After all the cleaning up, Thorin gave the two each a brush. Kili a slightly smaller one than Fili's.

'You put the brush in the paint and then you stroke down the house. But don't overdo it. Or it will take forever to dry.' Thorin explained, eyeing his son. Fili nodded and started immediately. He crouched down, did some paint on his brush and started painting at his highest point. Thorin grinned and helped Kili with the paint. He decided to stay close to Kili just in case anything happened. He even called in Dis's help to keep an eye on Fili. Not that she already didn't, always keeping a close eye on her son.


Fili and Kili were loving it. Though the paint wasn't exactly their best work. Kili was too short to reach any higher than one metre and therefore only painted the lowest bit of the house. And that was quite some art. Red, Blue, Green. Every color was on that bit. And Kili was only making it better. Thorin sighed a bit frustrated when he saw what Kili was doing. He turned to Dis, who was giggling and keeping an eye on Fili. She looked up at Thorin and said: 'Isn't he a cute little bundle of light? He is enjoying it, Thorin. You can always repaint it. Besides, now the house has something from the both of you.' Thorin gave her a glance and said: 'True. I can't forbid him to do this.'

Kili looked up and yelled at Thorin: 'Dawddy! Loowk! Thwhat's you and mwe!' Thorin crouched down behind Kili, wrapping his arms around his small waist and put his hand on top of Kili's. He looked at what Kili had painted and he was stuck for a moment. Kili had drawn two people, stickmen, but two people. One had long hair and a beard. The other had somewhat shorter hair and was shorter himself as well. They were holding hands and Fili had drawn a heart between them because Kili couldn't do that. Thorin felt his lips curl up in a big smile and he squeezed Kili close to him: 'I love you, kin. I love you very very much.' Kili giggled: 'Like?' 'Yes, I love it, Kili.' Thorin said and gave Kili a kiss in his hair.

Dis smiled as Thorin's eyes grew once he saw the picture. She was afraid for a second that he would be very angry, but she knew he wouldn't. This was Kili we were talking about and at the moment, Thorin loved everything Kili made. Even a drawing on his house. But this was special. And Dis knew Thorin would never get rid of the drawing.

She looked behind her and saw Fili had given up. She turned around and lifted her son up. She gave him a kiss and said: 'Are you done already?' Fili sighed: 'I'm bored if uncle doesn't do anything.' 'Uncle Thorin is busy with Kili for a moment, Fili. He will get back to painting very soon.' Fili looked over his mother to Thorin.

Thorin was giving Kili another kiss and stood up. Kili stood straight as well and looked up at him. Thorin noticed Fili in the arms of Dis: 'So? Is our warrior giving up already?' he teased his nephew. 'It is boring without you and Kili.' Fili moaned. Thorin laughed: 'Do you think it's a good idea if we continue?' Fili nodded and wanted to be put down again. Dis did it and Fili took Kili's hand: 'Come on, Kee. Let's go make uncle's house much more beautiful!' Thorin grinned and followed the two boys.


At the end of the day, Thorin's house was one bomb of color. The upper part was the color Thorin wanted it to be, light brown. At the lower parts, it was one big rainbow. Kili's drawing next to the door, Fili's doodles not far behind. There was green, there was blue. Fili had painted all kinds of colors over each other, mixing them together into one mash. Kili had ran the brush all around the house with white, Fili had painted little dots on the white paint.

Thorin sighed when he saw the final result. He shook his head, the company was going to laugh their heads off when they saw his house. Especially Dwalin and Bofur. Dwalin, being his best friend, would find it either extremely funny or he would just be shocked. Thorin believed it was going to be the last one. Dwalin adored Kili when he saw him and he loved Fili as well. Bofur was always cheerful and optimistic like no one else. He found almost everything funny, so this was definitely not an exception.

Dis covered his mouth with her hand, to keep in the laughter. She got a deadly glance from Thorin and just grinned: 'Oh brother, look how hard they have worked on it! It now is really your house.' she said, throwing her arm around Thorin. Thorin just shook his head: 'Well, yeah, that's true. I don't mind, I'm just, surprised. That's all.' 'Do you like it, uncle? I do! Now you have the best house in whole Middle-Earth!' Fili exclaimed, bouncing up and down. 'It's very beautiful, Fili. Well done, you two.' Fili and Kili smiled proudly and Fili held up one hand for Kili. Kili was confused and Fili said: 'You have to smash your hand against mine, Kili.' Kili raised his hand and Fili hit the hand with his own. Kili giggled and did it to Fili's hand as well.

The two dwarflings started playing and Dis and Thorin watched how they were rolling through the grass. 'Thorin, whenever I need my house to be painted, can I borrow Kili for a day than?' Dis asked, making Thorin laugh. They heard gasps behind them and Thorin turned around.

There stood the company, including Bilbo and Gandalf who hadn't left the Blue Mountains yet. Thorin sighed and walked over to them.


'Thorin, what in the name of Mahal happened to your house?' Oin asked. 'I wanted to paint and Fili and Kili wanted to help.' Thorin sighed. More wasn't needed to be said. The company erupted in a fit of laughter and Gandalf laughed along. 'Aawh, a drawing of you and Kili! Who drew that?' Bofur asked when he noticed the drawing. 'Kili did.' Thorin said proudly.

Fili and Kili saw the company and walked over to them, Fili holding Kili's hand.

'Hey, little ones. Did you do that?' Balin asked, still giggling. Fili nodded proudly: 'Yes! Uncle Thorin's house is the best one ever!' 'Yeah!' Kili exclaimed after Fili. The company melted at the two's excitement.

'I like it.' Bilbo spoke up. 'You do? Do you hear that, uncle? Boggins likes it!' Fili yelled. The company laughed again, hearing how Fili called their burglar. 'Bwoggins?' Kili asked. Thorin looked down at Kili: 'Mr. Baggins is a very good friend of ours, Kili.' Kili looked up at Bilbo. The first time he saw a hobbit. He noticed Bilbo's feet and his eyes widened. He grabbed Thorin's hand and pulled him along. Thorin grinned and let Kili lead him to Bilbo.

'Lwook, dwaddy! Fwunny Fweet!' Kili exclaimed, pointing at Bilbo's feet. Thorin laughed and said: 'Yeah, little one. Bilbo has funny feet, hasn't he?' Kili looked up at Bilbo: 'No shoes?' Bilbo smiled and shook his head: 'No shoes needed. This is warm enough.' Kili couldn't stop staring at the feet and he fell down on his butt. He slowly reached out and touched the hair on Bilbo's feet. Bilbo looked down in confusion and panicked a bit. He looked up: 'I can't move now, can I?' Thorin shook his head and grinned. 'Let the boy, Bilbo. He is curious and still young. He needs to explore the world.' Gandalf said, smiling at the little Kili stroking Bilbo's feet hair. Bilbo sighed and smiled.

Fili saw Kili touching the hair and rushed over to him. He sat down next to him and looked close at the hair: 'It is orange, Kili. Do you see that?' He lay his hand on the hair and pulled back immediately: 'That feels weird!' Kili giggled at Fili's reaction and crawled to him. Fili put his legs around Kili and from that position, the two cousins played with Bilbo's feet.


The company, Dis and Thorin laughed as Bilbo had been standing still for over 30 minutes now. Fili and Kili found his feet very interesting and couldn't seem to stop. Bilbo shot them a panicked glance and Dis and Thorin thought it was enough now. The two stood up and collected their child.

'Come on, Fili. Mr Baggins can't stay here all night long.' Dis said, helping Fili up. 'But those feet feel funny!' Fili moaned. Dis grinned: 'I know, Fili. But Bilbo needs to eat.' Fili sighed: 'Alright.' Thorin lifted up Kili, who was giggling. 'Little one, I think it's time to leave Mr Baggins alone for a while.' 'Fwunny fweet!' Kili exclaimed and looked down on Bilbo's feet. The hair was all messed up at that point. 'I understand that but Bilbo can't stay still for the rest of the night, can he?' Bilbo gave the two a thankful glare: 'Thank you.' Dis and Thorin gave him a smile and leaded their child to the rest of the company.

For the rest of the day, the company talked with Dis and Thorin and watched Kili and Fili play. Thorin got dragged into their playing and ended up being attacked by the two. Dwalin soon joined them and that night Kili and Fili went to bed very tired but very happy.


I hope you liked it and if you did, review:) xxx
