DISCLAIMER-...yeah I might just start giving up with these...y'all know that I don't own anything but my OC's and this plot... :/

Chapter 20 – Confessions of a Dwarfaholic

Daisy played with a dagger. She twirled the blade in her fingers absent-mindedly and looked up at the sky. They'd stopped for a breather after walking for five hours straight. The blonde looked down to where her friend was lying on his back. Kili had his eyes closed and was pondering. He was pondering on whether or not he should act on his feelings...it was a reckless thing for him to do, to kiss his friend, but his mother always said he was reckless. He pulled the Rune Stone, she'd given him, from his pocket and tossed it in the air. The stone flew up and then fell down. Kili caught it in his hands and threw it up again. This time another hand shot in and caught. Daisy smirked at Kili's pout and turned the stone in her hand. She admired the carving and the pretty colour within the stone.

"Isn't this Dis'?"

"Yeah, Mum told me to take it."

Daisy chuckled.

"I'm surprised. I didn't expect her to give you something breakable!"

Kili huffed.

"As I recall it was ANNE who broke that pot, not me. And she gave me so I would remember my promise."

Daisy looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Your promise?"

Kili looked down embarrassed and laughed.

"That I'd come back to her...it's silly really."

Daisy crouched and smiled gently.

"No it's not. She just wants you safe."

"Mhm, she thinks I'm reckless."

Daisy snorted and Kili looked up.

"She has obviously forgotten about me then!"

The girl sat next to the dwarf. He draped an arm round her shoulders and shook her gently, laughing.

"Nah she could never. You and Anne made a HUGE impression on her. She kept complaining that she wanted a daughter for years!"

The pair laughed. Daisy placed the stone in Kili's palm and curled his fingers over it. She looked at him lovingly and smiled.

"Just remember to look after it, you know how careless you are sometimes."

Kili nodded and his eyes met hers.

"I will."

Daisy grinned and then stood up. Her heart was racing and she walked over to her knife and picked it up. Tucking it into her boot, she watched as Kili put his stone away and got to his feet. The dwarf brushed himself off and looked to his friend.

"Ready to keep going?"

Daisy picked up her pack and slung it over a shoulder. She walked past and turned round.

"Yup!"

She held out her hand, which Kili took, and they both started walking. Kili laced his fingers with hers and they carried on walking and talking.

…

CRASH! Anne growled when the chair broke into pieces. She looked around the room to see what else she could throw at the door. So far she'd smashed a vase, two chairs and she'd even started pushing the bath out of the washroom so she could charge at the door with it. The girl went to the fire and picked up the poker. She then started stabbing and prodding at the hinges on the door in a desperate attempt to break some part of the door. She was in mid-stab when she heard the lock of the door click. She threw the poker to the side and stepped back when the door opened. Tauriel's eyebrows shot into her hairline when she saw the damage the girl had inflicted on the room within the space of a few hours. Anne's eyes darkened and she glared at the she elf.

"What do you want? Come to gloat!"

Tauriel leaned against the door-frame and folded her arms. Her long red hair draped over one shoulder and a smirk danced on her face. Anne growled and sat against the bed. The elf walked gracefully into the room, she closed the door behind her.

"I don't gloat...not my style Miss Anne."

"Oh please call me Anne considering I'm stuck here till I die!"

The girl's tone was harsh and she threw her head onto the bed. Tauriel chuckled and sat lightly on the bed.

"Would you like to see one of them?"

Anne looked up.

"Huh?"

"Your dwarves. Would you like to see one of them...just to let them know you're alright."

Anne's eyebrows creased.

"What?...Why...why would you?"

Tauriel sighed and folded her hands.

"I don't believe that you should be confined to this room. Nor do I feel that it is justified that these dwarves should be locked in our cells. However I am not about to go and release them, but I can allow you some time with one of them..."

Anne gawked at the elf. Tauriel wanted to HELP her? The elf female rolled her eyes and stood.

"Look you can be silent and stay in this room for the rest of your days, if that's what you want."

She turned and opened the door, her back to the small girl on the bed.

"Wait!"

Tauriel turned, a small smile graced her features. Anne stood and walked over to the elf.

"Please let me see them."

She looked down at the brunette.

"Who do you want to see?"

Fili sat on the floor of his cell and flicked a piece of dust along the floor. Everyone else had fallen silent and he felt like the only one there. He rested his elbows on his knees and stared at the gloomy ceiling. His gaze drifted round the walls of his cell, then onto where his coat sat discarded on the floor, and then to the ceiling again. The prince sighed and closed his eyes. He heard light footfalls approaching, but he assumed it was just the elf-guards walking past to jeer at them again. The steps stopped and he heard a cough.

"Dwarf."

Fili cracked open an eye and saw the red-headed female elf standing outside his cell. He closed his lid again. The elf huffed and he heard her shuffle on her feet.

"You have a visitor dwarf."

He didn't open his eyes, but merely grunted. The elf's footsteps moved to the side and another set walked up to his cell.

"Fili..."

His heart froze, eyes snapped open and he shot up. There she was. Anne was standing, her arms behind her back, right outside his cell. Warmth flooded through him and he chuckled emotionally.

"Anne."

He leaned against the bars and looked at her, taking in all of her. She smiled gently and wrapped a hand round the bars. His eyes met hers.

"What..what are you doing here?"

"Tauriel said I could see one of you..."

"And you chose me?"

She blushed and lowered her eyes, nodding. Fili felt himself smile even more. Anne lifted her head and looked at him.

"I..wanted to talk to you about...about what I said in Mirkwood."

Fili's eyes fell. Anne looked down and her hand fell from the bar. The blonde dwarf tilted his head as she started to speak.

"I...Fili...I meant..."

"Anne I meant every word of it."

She stopped and stared at him. Even he couldn't believe that he'd said it.

"Wh..what?"

"I meant what I said to you. About...how I felt. I think..."

"I meant it as well."

She looked at him and smiled a little. Fili stretched a hand through the bars and cupped her cheek. Anne leaned into his touch and held his hand in hers. Fili beamed and held the bars with his free hand. Anne had meant what she'd said, his heart started doing backflips and his stomach had gone a bubbly. He took a step closer to the bars and Anne moved a little closer. Fili lowered his voice so only she could hear the words.

"I think you're amazing, funny, beautiful and I think I love you. You mean the world to me Anne."

Tears filled her eyes and she smiled.

"I think I love you too."

Fili took her other cheek in his free hand and gently brushed away the fallen tears. Anne put her hands through the bars and rested them on his chest. Not hesitating, Fili pulled her as close to as he could, the bars being their only barrier, and claimed her lips with his. Anne closed her eyes and fisted his shirt, the smoothness of his lips against hers, nothing else mattered. Fili desperately tried to bring her closer and Anne pressed against the bars trying to not break the contact with Fili's mouth. The dwarf opened his mouth and his tongue darted out and danced along Anne's bottom lip. The girl moaned quietly and her mouth opened. His tongue moved against hers and, in all to short a time, they drew back for air. Anne's breath was ragged as her eyes rolled back as Fili kissed her face lightly. She giggled at the way his beard scratched against her face. Fili cupped her face again and she kissed his palm lightly. His eyes were full of love as he kissed her gently. Tauriel reappeared, from wherever she'd been, and put a hand on Anne's shoulder.

"That's time."

Anne glanced quickly to her, then to Fili. He kissed the back of her hand and whispered.

"We will get out of this. I love you."

Anne blushed and nodded.

"I love you too."

Then Tauriel led her away. Fili sighed happily and leaned against his cell bars, watching her until she was gone. It was a low cough that brought his eyes to look across the way. Thorin and Balin wore looks of amusement, whereas Dwalin looked murderous. He cracked his knuckles.

"When I get out of this laddie. Yer deed!"
