The next day Ori decided to visit Dain. When he arrived at the elegant house he saw Dain packing.
"Are you going somewhere?" He asked in a trembling voice. Dain was one of the only people in the village who openly acknowledged him. He was his rock and support, always with a kind word. He even paid for Ori's studies, so the elder wolf was his idol in any aspect.
"I'm moving. Don't worry I'm not leaving the village. Do you want something?" Dain asked curiously.
"Could we please sit down and talk a bit in private?" Ori told him in a shaking voice. Dain sighed and led the boy into the house.
"What's bothering you?" He asked gently.
"I've been thinking a lot recently." Ori began.
"About Kili and Fili?" Dain asked impatiently.
"Not that. That too a bit, but that's not what I want to talk about." Ori clarified.
"I'm all ears." Dain told him.
"I was thinking about the past. About the Luin family." Ori came on topic. "I've recently read again the diary of Sali Luin. And I've noticed some bizarre things."
"Continue." Dain told him when the boy stopped speaking.
"She wrote that the family had to move, and in one of the entries when she describes Erebor she talks about how she misses the rich Blue Mountains, and expresses pain that the family had to move. Which clearly suggests the family moved not because the ore in the Blue Mountains ended, but there much have been a different reason." Ori told the Council leader.
Dain glanced at him lost in thought. He loved Ori, he loved him in any aspect. His son was perfect, cute, smart and timid. He deserved to know more, especially that he was the only one who could have the knowledge to understand and accept the past.
"There is one more diary." Dain told him suddenly.
"One more?" Ori was perplexed.
"I'm the only one who knows its contents. And I'm the only one apart from you who can read it. It's written in Cumbrian, and not in Irish or English as the other diaries." Dain told him.
"Why isn't it known by the tribe?" Ori asked in a shaken voice.
"Because of the topics hidden within the diary. It's not a diary about family or travelling. It's a diary of the paranormal. In it old Fali Luin hid the facts about the family's powers, about why they came to America and what they were running from." Dain slowly told him. "And you're the only person I can trust with this diary."
Ori looked at him with wide eyes. "It's time one more person knows the past in case something happens to me." Dain spoke in a cold tone.
"Follow me." He told the boy. He guided him towards the basement of his house. He showed Ori the hidden door at the back leading to one more room.
"What is this place?" Ori asked curiously, he saw many strange objects gathered in the room.
"Here I hid many things. Some are just token of the past, both from the Khuzdul tribe and the Luin family." Dain explained. He went to the wall and opened the safe. He reached into it and took out a special case for securing old documents from witling away. "I won't be using this house for now, so I'd like you to take care of it. You can come here as much as you want and go through these things, but you are not allowed to take anything out. And you are not allowed to make a copy of this diary."
Ori was shaken by the trust shown by his idol. He took the offered keys to the house with shaking hands.
"You might as well move in." Dain told him with a smile.
"I can't leave Dori and Nori." Ori spoke disturbed by the idea.
"Nori will probably do something crazy anyway you look at it. There is no way he'll be separated from his vampire, so either the vampire will ask for permission to stay here, or Nori will leave the village." Dain slowly told him. "I think it's also time Dori didn't have to take care of you two. I know he's the oldest and he loves you, but his life was devote to both of you. He should start his own life, find a mate or wife and start a happy life for a change."
"I can't accept this." Ori glanced at the keys.
"You're like a son to me. You're the only kid around here who wanted to learn all the old languages. You're the only one who has the intellect and knowledge to analyze our history. You're the only one I trust to keep this house and this knowledge safe." Dain spoke with confidence. "Treat it as an order, if you prefer." He smiled at the boy.
"But I've never lived alone…" The boy was clearly hesitant and timid. "I have no real income to keep a house like this."
"You'll get a normal salary for writing your book." Dain assured the boy.
"You've already done too much for me, you organized the money for my studies, you've always helped me a lot, I cannot accept anything more…" Ori spoke confidently or a change, clearly his pride was slowly coming into focus.
"Trust me." Dain held him by the arm. The boy looked at him with hesitation and a mixture of emotions, finally he nodded and accepted the keys.
By the end of the week the house was finished so Bofur and Dwalin moved to Dis's house. Kili helped her chose the colors, and Fili drove to town to buy the paint. The shifts were split in two. One wolf always at Fili's house, and one wolf at Dis's house. Nori stayed near Bofur all the time, helping as much as possible and fighting with the vampire at any given chance.
Kili finally set up his computer room in the grey room upstairs and began spending some time working on his latest project. Narvi kept him company working on his laptop. That way he could do the shift and his work at the same time.
Fili cleaned out the garage and at the end of the following week Kili painted a huge car on the side of the building and an information about the new car garage.
"Officially open!" Fili joked seeing the huge painting.
"Most people will come just to see my masterpiece!" Kili smirked looking at the huge classic red old Chevrolet on the building.
"I bet they will. I hope to bring some money into our relationship, I don't feel comfortable with you paying for everything." Fili dully noticed.
"I don't really care about money. And anyway you look at it, you brought in a huge real estate value, so it's only fair I bring in the money to maintain it." Kili noticed with a smirk.
Fili looked at Kili with sad eyes, both of them were feeling the passage of time, and both were in fear what the future will bring. He saw a spark in Kili's eyes, and within a second he was pulled into the garage and Kili was kissing him wildly. In the last days he was insatiable sexually, and Fili felt the same way. They had to get as much as possible until it lasted.
He didn't care where they were they just dropped the clothes and jump each other and fuck senselessly. Now was the same, his jeans were down and Kili was on the floor taking him into his mouth. Before he could even express what he wanted Kili's legs were around him, so he just grabbed him and fucked him there standing and holding him tightly.
"I'll never have enough of you." Kili gasped before biting in tenderly.
"I love you." Fili whispered to him tenderly.
"I know." Kili replied gently licking his neck clean.
"Someone is coming." Fili realized and both of them quickly readjusted their clothes.
Borin and Farin just smirked knowingly seeing the couple a bit flushed.
"We love the painting Kili!" Borin yelled taking a closer look at the huge car.
"Can we be your first customers?" Farin asked with a smirk.
"What do you want?" Fili asked curiously.
"Our mom's car is making a funny noise." Borin pointed to the small red old Honda on the driveway.
"Fine, give me the keys and I'll take a look." Fili smiled.
"So how is your work going?" Farin asked Kili with a grin, the news that heir's boyfriend was a game programmer spread across the village like wildfire.
"Great! I'll invite you for trials when I finish!" Kili assured them.
"We'd love that!" Borin laughed. "We never had real equipment to play so we wouldn't miss the chance for anything in the world."
"We'd like to invite you both for dinner tomorrow." Farin suddenly told them. "Our dad and mom want to meet you, so please drop by the bar at seven. Dad said he'll prepare something special for the occasion."
"We'd really like that." Kili smiled feeling this gesture was a chance to get to know more people in the village.
"Do they know about Kili's feeding issue?" Fili asked seriously.
"Of course they do, they come from wolf related families. Don't worry they're not prejudice or anything." Borin assured them.
"We'll see you tomorrow!" Farin bid them goodbye. "We have to get Moli and Dainy from school."
"You'll meet all the kids tomorrow so be prepared for hundreds of questions!" Borin made them realize.
"So apart from Borin and Farin they have six more kids?" Kili asked worried.
"And one more on the way." Fili reminded him.
"I'm going shopping!" Kili announced and ran to get his car keys.
"What are you planning to buy?" Fili asked as Kili ran back to his car. And Kili just smirked and replied "You'll see!"
