Azalia p.o.v

The next morning I woke up alone in bed. Fili and Kili were nowhere to be seen. Usually I was the one to be up early. Since I was half elvish, I had not the need of sleep sometimes. Slowly I got up and dressed. When I entered the living room, I saw father, Kili, and Fili at daddy's work table discussing something. They immediately went quiet as they saw me. I could tell there was something off in today's mood.

"Good morning sweet heart." Dis said to sweetly. I smiled to Dis.

"Morning Dis." I greeted as I sat down to eat her breakfast stew. I looked outside the window. There was no sign of the sun, just dark grey clouds. Dis noticed me looking out the window.

"Looks like a storm is brewing." Dis hummed "I was hoping to go to the market before it starts to rain. Would you like to join me Azalia?" Dis asked me. I looked at her and smiled.

"I would love to." I said to her, taking a spoonful of the steaming stew into my mouth. Dis nodded.

"Good, then get ready after you're done eating. You to Thorin, if you want to be at Dwalin's on time" Dis commanded. I raised a brow.

"You're going to Dwalin's?" I asked. Father nodded.

"So are the boys." Father said. I looked at Fili and Kili. None of them looked me in the eye. Something was definitely up and I had to find out. After breakfast, I went into my room to get dressed. I took my time knowing that either Kili or Fili would come in to check on me for taking forever. As I expected, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in" I said softly, but loud enough to hear. The door opened revealing Kili. I smiled warmly at him.

"Ma said you'll be going in a bit." Kili said taking a seat by me.

"Thank you for telling me." I said looking him in the eyes trying to find out what he was hiding from me. There it was! The guilt formed in his eyes. After awhile of silence Kili spoke up.

"Umm I guess I should be going." Kili said and got up walking towards the door. He was leaving! I had to stop him. I grabbed in by the forearm.

"Wait Kili!" I said to him. Kili stopped and looked at me.

"Yes Z?" Kili said.

"Um... could you do my hair for me?" I said. Kili smiled warmly to me

"I would be delighted to." He said coming behind me and setting my hair loose. My white hair spilled over my shoulders. Kili's delicate hands slowly ran through my hair making goose bumps appear on the back of my neck. As Kili was working on my hair, I tried to think of a way to ask him about what they were hiding from me.

"I saw you." Kili said out of know where.

"What?" I said turning to him very confused.

"Yesterday night… with Fili." Kili said. My eyes widened. He saw the kiss.

"Kili..." I started.

"You really feel that way." Kili said, his voice filled with sadness. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I bit my lip.

"Kili yesterday night we were all drunk." I said, but Kili just looked at me.

"Do you feel that way about Fili or not?" Kili asked me firmly.

"I-I d-don't k-know" I stuttered while looking down in shame. I closed my eyes shut. I felt Kili's rough hand run over my left cheek. Kili's finger then forced me to look up at him. I looked into his innocent eyes.

"Maybe this will help." He whispered. Before I could question him, his lips crashed down onto mine. The kiss wasn't passionate as it was with Fili, but it was all the same. To my surprise I found myself kissing Kili back. After awhile Kili separated from me and looked me straight into my blue eyes.

"I never may have the chance to tell you, but I care about you Z and I always will. You made me feel in a way I never felt in a way and if you feel this way about Fili. I respect your decision." Kili said and left the room quickly as a flash. I blinked rapidly. Did Kili just confess his feelings to me?
