Kili kissed Fili deeply, and grabbed his car keys.
"Moving time!" Knowing they were alone he could revert back to talking out loud.
"This is just crazy!" Fili noticed and kissed his lover yet again.
"Let's go!" Kili pushed several big empty bags at Fili, and guided him to his beautiful black Audi, the car had black shaded windows.
"How do you like it?" He asked his lover already feeling the boy loved the expensive car.
"I hope you have a second parking space."Fili noticed.
"I've got three." Kili replied with a grin. "What kind of car do you have?" And as a reply he saw an image of an old retro red truck.
"That will make moving easier." He just replied with a grin. "By the way my uncle wants to meet you." He told his lover with a smile.
"And how do you imagine that to go?" Fili taunted gently. "Dear Uncle this is my boyfriend, by the way he's a wolf."
"More or less. Thorin should like you, and don't expect to get hungry Bilbo will cook his ass off finally happy he's not eating alone." Kili gently laughed as they drove to Fili's flat.
"Bilbo?" Fili asked and saw a person in Kili's mind, short blond with a gentle smile.
"Uncle Thorin's soul mate." Kili explained. "He's still human."
"So we're not the only couple like that?" Fili became really curious. "By the way what we call this thing between us?"
"I have no idea, maybe we should simply get married once we sort out if your wolf will tolerate me around." Kili gently chuckled.
"You're on." Fili told him with a smirk.
After an hour they packed Fili's truck and emptied the flat. Fili called his landlord to cancel the rent, and called his boss about dropping his job. He knew his family would say he was acting too rash but Kili was very insistent. And the idea of living alone was unacceptable for both of them. They were one and they just had to be next to each other. Kili even complained about the notion of being separated a part of the day for Fili's studies, but the blond firmly said he plans on passing his year.
He called Thorin and agreed on introducing his mate in several days. Fili decided not to contact his family just yet.
The evening with Thorin and Bilbo didn't go as smooth as planned. Bilbo was truly delighted to have another live person around to cook for, but Thorin immediately cringed his nose seeing the blond. He had met wolves in the past, the gentle alluring scent was easily identified. He greeted them with reserve, but the clear enthusiasm and connection Kili and Fili were sharing finally broke his distance.
"So do explain further, how is it that you two are connected?" Bilbo asked gently, he was Thorin's opposite in many aspects, but he could be stubborn as well, and he liked the blond the first moment he saw him, no matter wolf or not.
"My powers and Fili's power's are correlated. We are of the same type, in some aspects we are the same, in other we supplement each other." Kili gently explained. "At first we were blocked, so my powers or his would never work, but then when we both realized we were soul mates we simply connected."
"So now it's really funny. I'm always in his head and he's in mine." Fili gently added, he liked the short blond man immediately.
"So you can read in each other's minds?" Thorin wanted to get a clarification.
"It's not really mind reading." Kili tried to explain. "It's a permanent connection, we can talk in our minds and share information. It was thanks to Fili's fear about me before the battle with the wild vampires, he saw the last details we needed for the battle."
"So you can tell the future?" Thorin suddenly realized.
"Just random bits and pieces." Fili specified. "If I hadn't seen what I saw, Kili would have died, so I just had to do something."
Thorin gazed at boy in wonder, his mixed feelings towards the wolves always made him avoid them. He knew about them, he knew their basic abilities, but till now he managed to avoid any contact despite the close distance to the nearest wolf tribe. He had no idea wolves could have any special abilities like himself or Kili.
"It's just the alpha family who have real special abilities, most wolves are just normal strong fighters, few can do things like me." Fili answered the unsaid question.
"So you're going to be an alpha?" Thorin spoke in a firm voice.
"Well, perhaps, my uncle is the current Alpha wolf. And he's not planning to give it up anytime soon." Fili clarified.
"Will you continue living in the city after you transform?" Thorin's eye narrowed.
"That would be difficult." Fili lowered his head, Kili immediately sensed the anxiety and worry in his lover. "Half of the time I'll be a wolf, the transformations at the beginning happen by random."
"We'll think about it." Kili replied. "We could move to a more secluded area in the forests."
"Are you ready to make such a sacrifice for your boyfriend?" Bilbo gently asked.
"I'd do anything for him." Kili grabbed Fili's hand with force.
"I'm more worried if you're ready to face a pack of wolves on your own." Thorin slowly spoke. "I'm not certain your wolf will be this nice after he transforms, you are still by definition natural enemies. I've never heard of a mixed couple before, more so I have never heard of any positive relations between any shape shifter and vampire."
"There are more shape shifters? Aren't they just werewolves?" Bilbo asked gently.
"Werewolves are created by biting humans they are just as bloodthirsty and evil like crazed younglings, the tribes change shape on basis of blood and genes. It's a predestined genetic condition." Thorin slowly explained. "I've heard of a native American tribe in Alaska who can shift into polar bears, and there is one south from us who can shift into grizzlies. But those are very rare now."
"We've never heard of other tribes who can do such things." Fili slowly added. "But my tribe the Khuzdul are obsessed with purity of the blood. Few people from the outside were introduced into the tribe. The whole wolf things is one of the most guarded secrets."
"You don't look Native American at all." Bilbo noticed dully.
"Two hundred years ago an Irish family married into the tribe, some say they brought in some of the supernatural skills. Those who are related to them happen to have red hair. But the blond hair and blue eyes are unique for the alpha family, only my uncle and I look like this." Fili explained.
"Since it's a genetic trait it would only be logical that mixing the bloodlines might make the shifters rarer." Kili noticed. "I was wondering since it's a genetic trait, and by definition shifters are immortal like us, why aren't there many around?"
"Because they can chose not to live forever." Fili added in a low voice. "Some like my uncle are very old, over five hundred or more, and some chose not to shift and die along their families and spouses."
"Convenient." Thorin added grimly glancing at Bilbo. "I have to kill my spouse and make him a vampire in order for us to stay together."
"That's convenient as well, I got used to the idea." Bilbo smiled at him meekly, he knew his spouse was hurt by the very idea of changing Bilbo into a vampire.
"I haven't." Thorin noticed grimly.
"Anyway, since this is your decision, and you're my favorite coven member, do as you please. And if you get in trouble with the wolves just call me, I'll get the whole coven and our allies to back you up." Thorin made a promise to Kili.
"Thank you." Fili bowed his head gently to the older vampire. "I never thought you'd be this nice and reasonable."
"Don't worry if he gets stubborn about something he stops being logical." Bilbo gently laughed. "But he will defend his family as all cost." Bilbo took the strong vampire by the hand.
Time passed by fast and the two young lovers adjusted to each other's lifestyle. Kili would work at night or when Fili was at college, and the rest of the time they would spend together. Fili was fascinated with Kili's work and loved testing the new games and giving new ideas for them, while Kili was really helpful when it came to homework and exams. Being bored in the past he took up many different studies at college, and had several degrees. Fili was still fascinated with the idea that his lover did many different types of jobs and took up many different things before settling down to computer games.
Their life together was bliss, they were closer than ever, reaching a sync in their minds. They complemented each other in life, Kili loved cooking and Fili loved eating what Kili cooked. Fili loved helping Kili, and Kili for the first time in centuries didn't feel lonely or a freak. Being open mentally meant they could trust each other more than any other couple.
The only surprise Fili had was that Kili liked to smoke from time to time. Especially when going out with his friends.
"My mother is going to hate you for this." Fili gently chuckled taking the cigarette from Kili and inhaling. "I've been trying to quit since I was seventeen."
"I can't drink, I can't do drugs, I can't eat. But I can smoke." Kili gently laughed. "If you don't mind that is."
"I do mind a bit, but if we smoke we're smoking together, so it won't make a difference who has bad breathe." Fili joked.
Dwalin and Bofur, Kili's best friends inside the coven, at first had their reservations towards Fili, but the cheerful open blond wolf slowly go on their good side as well. Especially when they saw how much Kili and Fili were connected. Both vampires had a crude sense of humor, but Fili's wit proved to be on par. It became a habit to meet with them once a month and go out. Usually Kili and Fili would spend the evening together on the dance floor, while the two single vampires would roam about seeking a light dinner. At first Fili was apprehensive about it, but the reality was the vampires had to eat, and as long as they didn't kill or hurt anyone, he had no right to protest.
The real problem was confronting Fili's family. Fili has been twisting and turning, but his mother soon worked out he had moved in with his 'friend'. And soon she started insisting he introduce his girlfriend to the family. First of all, Fili had no idea how to break the news that he wasn't at all interested in girls. And then came the fact of the nature of his 'girlfriend'.
