The Lionheart (The Hobbit)

Chapter 26: I need you to know

Tygr POV

After I somehow got swept away by Bofur to go find our room. "What room are you in?" He asked as we walked toward the inn. "Um, 7. You?" I asked. "9!" He said with a smile. "We're in 8!" Kili and Fili said popping up behind us. I smiled at Kili. "You feeling better?" I asked. Kili smiled, "yeah! Hey what was that thing you made me eat?" He asked. "Oh, well...their these special pellets I acquired. Their magic, they can heal any wound...even fatal wounds." I said. "You...didn't use your last one on me right?" He asked. I shook my head and showed him a bracelet around my wrist. "I never even noticed that!" Fili said looking closer. I pointed at the five small white pellets inside. "I had ten and I used had now used five of them, counting Kili." I said. They nodded then I was suddenly hugged tightly by Kili. I squeaked in surprise then hugged back. "Thank you for using something so valuable to heal me." Kili said sincerely. "Of course...I would do anything for you guys." I said. He let me go then I was hugged by Fili. "Thank you for saving my brother." He said. I hugged him and nodded. "Of course~" I said. "Where did you even get those lass?" Bofur asked. "Oh, I got them on an adventure I went on with Gandalf a few years ago." I said. "What did you use the other ones for?" Kili asked. "Oh, who of them where on myself, the other one was on an elf who got his throat slit by an Orc but was still alive, however I had no idea where we where and he did. Another one was actually on Gandalf. Then the other one was on you." She said. The three where surprised when I mentions Gandalf however dismissed it when Balin and Dwalin came up to us.

"What are you three up to?" Balin asked with a kind smile. "Well we where going to the inn but got a little side tracked with conversation." I said smiling at the elderly dwarf. "Kili, Fili let the girl go get settled in her room. You'll see her later." Balin said. I laughed then snuck away through the town to find my way to the inn.

I walked quietly along the various board walked. Suddenly I was pushed with my back against a building. "Why hello there you pretty little broad." I immediately knew it was Alfrid. "L-look...I'm going to be very nice because I feel bad for you. Please, let me go and leave me alone." I said calmly looking away. He grabbed my face and pulled me to look at him. "What you say? You feel bad for me?" He asked. His breath smelled like fish, making me want to gag. "Y-yes. I do. Your so low and pathetic that you do this to a girl because you don't have anyone who actually wants to be around you!" I said. He glared at me, I then felt his dry hand slide down my waist and tug at my pants. "Well, I'm not hearing you say no." He said. I felt my angry in as much as possible. "I-I hope you know, there are thirteen dwarves here that would tear your creepy disgusting ass to pi-" suddenly Alfrid was torn away from me and knocked in the face. I was shocked to see Dwalin looking as angry as hell. I looked at Alfrid holding his face in intense pain. "You touch her again and I'll rip yer arms off you filth piece of trash." He snarled before taking my arm and pulling me away from the scene. "Thank you Dwalin." I said. He looked down at me. " I figured something like this would happen so I followed a little ways behind." He said. I nodded, "well...thank you anyways." I said. He nodded and walked me to the inn. He escorted me right to my door and said he would see me later. I quickly went in and out, not really taking in the accessories of the room. I quickly headed back out into the town and made my way to the inn. On the way Oin and Ori joined me. I happily talked with them until we found our way to the bar. Inside...not surprised Kili and Fili where having a drinking contest. Dwalin was drinking and speaking with Balin. I looked to find Thorin...speaking with some woman who looked like a tramp. I instantly felt my blood boil. I watched as she trailed her finger down his chest in a seductive way. He never did a thing back but him allowing her to do that was enough for me. Suddenly Thorin made eye contact with my cold icy glare. He instantly pushed past the woman and came towards me. "There you are!" He said. "Yep." I dead pinned as I walked to the bar and ordered an ale. "What's wrong?" He asked. "Oh nothing. Why don't you go back to your tramp over there, she's waiting for you." I said as I glanced over at the woman who was indeed looking at Thorin with a lustful look. Thorin shook his head, "I don't really want to. I'd much rather be with you." He said. I laughed, "ha! Sure you would. Look Thorin, a mans a man, do what you please I won't hold it against you or be mad but don't you dare feed me the bullshit of "I'd rather be with you" okay?" I asked looking at him before downing the entire pint. Thorin looked utterly shocked. "Tygr I think you misunderstood that situation." He said. "I don't care." I stated before standing and leaving the bar. Thorin, being the stubborn dwarf that he is followed me. "Tygr! I didn't do anything with her nor did I want to!" Thorin yelled. I rolled my eyes. "It sure shit looked like it!" I yelled before turning an walking briskly away. "Wait, Tygr!!" I heard the disgusting voice of Alfrid. I looked back to see him running after me. I also watched Thorin growl and deck him across the face before he could get close to me. "Tygr please! I actually needed to talk to you! I want to tell you something." He yelled. "Then talk to me later Thorin! I don't wanna hear it right now!" I yelled before sprinting off.

I sighed and unlocked my door and went in. It was a cozy room with a rather large bed. I threw myself onto the bed and closed my eyes for a moment. My heart started to calm and I thought about what Thorin said. "What could that bastard possibly want to tell me..." I said to myself: I layed peacefully in silence for a small while...at least it was peaceful until someone knocked on my door. I groaned and pulled myself up. "Who is it!" I asked. "It's me." The voice I recognized as Thorin. "Come in." I said. He opened the door and looked at me with saddened face. "Can I talk to you now?" He asked. "Yeah, well I suppose." I said. Thorin walked in and closed the door behind him. "I want to apologize." He said. "I don't want to hear it, I just want you to be honest with me, do you swear that there was nothing going on between you two?" I asked. "No, nothing. She wasn't my type anyways." He said. I slightly laughed, "oh yeah? Well what it your type. I said as I turned my back to him and looked out the window. I yawned and stretched my arms up, extending my body. Suddenly I felt two warm hands trailing up my waist. "Well, 4"9, long black hair...green eyes...wolf ears and tail." He said before lightly kissing my shoulder. The scratch of his beard on my skin sent shivers down my spine. My face blushed and I smiled. I turned and faced the king. I couldn't find words so I only grinned. "You know...I care a great deal about you Tygr." He said looking into my eyes. "I-I care about you too...a-a lot" I said. 'Why am I shuddering?!?!?!' I screamed in my head. "I've been holding off telling you, because I wasn't sure if you felt the same...but I need you to know...I love you." Thorin said looking slightly more towards the ground. "Really?" I asked, honestly surprised he was saying this. "Yes. Really." He said. I felt my heart pound and I was speechless...this was the first time since Azog all those years ago told me they loved me. I watched Thorin sigh and let go of me before backing away across the room towards the door. . "I'm sorry...I should have known you didn't feel the sa-" I cut him off when I jumped onto his strong body, wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck, pinning him to the wall. I pressed my lips to his lovingly. I pulled away and placing my forehead on his. "You didn't even give me a chance to reply!" I giggled. I then saw the most beautiful smile appear on his face. "I love you too, Thorin." I said placing a kiss on his bearded cheek. I could see a faint blush on his cheek. "Oh my god...did I make the king under the mountain blush?!" I laughed. Thorin tried to keep a stern face however broke out in a smile. "Shut up." He laughed. I got off of him before he laced his fingers with mind. His hands where larger and stronger than mine, also warm. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. I reached and opened it and the two brothers fell through the door. I yelped and backed up. They struggled up and smiled at is then frowned. "D-did we *hic* interrupt something?" Fili slurred. I looked at the brothers and Kili made a look as though he just figured out why the world existed. "Fili I think they where about to do the uh...loving stuff." Kili said. I felt my face heat up and Thorin looked utterly shocked. "N-no...we weren't!" I said panicked. "Ohhhhh then come drink with us!!!" They happily said. I giggled and nodded. "Okay!" I said happily before taking Thorin's hand and dragging him out of the room following the drunken dwarf brothers that sloppily made their way down the hall.
