The Lionheart (The Hobbit)

Chapter 27: Drunken nights

Thorin POV

I watched as Tygr smiled and laughed beside me at Kili and Filis antics. I turned to go and get another pint of ale, though not even a minute after I turned my back I heard the entire bar chanting "Chug". I sighed and turned back around and in shock saw Fili and Tygr, chugging pint after pint to see who can last longer. Needless to say I was impressed by how much Tygr can handle. Soon enough, Tygr was 12 pints in and Fili was at 14. I smiled watching them, that is until Fili slipped off the table. Tygr spat out her ale and laughed hysterically on the table. I laughed as Ori pulled Fili off the ground. "You loose!!!" Tygr cheered as she slid off the table. I watched her wobble over and sit in the stool next to mine. "I told you *hic* I could jump really high." She slurred. "What?" I asked. "What?" She instantly retorted. I laughed and asked for a water for her. "Drink this." I said. "Kay~" she said before slowly but drinking the water in one shot. "That tastes like liquid ice..." She whispered. I covered my mouth to keep from laughing at her awestruck face. "Mhm, that's because it is!" I said. She looked at me and smiled, "really?!?!" She asked. I nodded, "would I lie to you?" I asked. "I honestly have no idea." She said with a straight face. "Well, no. I wouldn't" I said with a smile before suddenly Tygr slid herself to sit on my lap and kissed my cheek. "Awe~ yay!" She giggled. I held an arm around her waist making sure she wouldn't fall off. "Well~ you two sure are getting cozy!" Bofur laughed as he leaned against the bar. Tygr smiled, nodded and slapped one of the wings on his hat. "Just making sure she goesnt go face down to the floorboards." I said. Bofur nodded and clinked his mug with mine. "Where's your drink Tygr?" Bofur asked. She growled and poked my face. "He said I wasn't aloud to have anymore." She said. I smirked and rolled my eyes. "I said nothing of the sort." He said. She smiled, "then can I have more?" She asked before batting her eyes and looking up at me, flattening her ears in the most adorable way. "...fine." I said. She smiled and jumped off my lap before running over to where the bartender was. "So I'm guessing you told her your feelings?" Bofur asked. I nodded, "I did." I replied taking a drink. "And I'm guessing she returned them?" He asked again. "She did." I said with a grin. "She's a keeper Thorin, she really is." Bofur said before patting my back. I nodded and looked over my shoulder at Kili and Tygr who where arm wrestling.

Balin POV

I sat peacefully in a booth looking at my surroundings, though my focus settled on Thorin and Tygr. I grinned knowing that they where now courting. Dwalin came and sat beside me. "I think she would make a lovely queen." I said. "Who? Tygr?" He asked. I nodded, Dwalin sighed. "I'm going to be honest, I didn't like her very much in the beginning but I've noticed two things about that lass." He said. "What's that?" I asked. "One, she brings out the best in him. Two, that's the only lass I've ever seen butt heads with him and never back down." He said with a laughed. I laughed and nodded, I looked to see Tygr extremely close to beating Kili in arm wrestling. "Aye, she's tough. Very tough." I said. "I wouldn't mind her standing on the thrown beside Thorin." Dwalin said. I nodded in agreement.

Tygr

I slammed Kilis arm down onto the table and cheered in success. "I DEFEATED THE DURIN PRINCES!!!!" I yelled jumping onto the table, the other in the bar cheering. Kili and Fili laughed and helped me down. "We let you win!" Kili laughed. "Nooooo you lost fair and square." I said. I looked outside to see it was rather dark and yawned. "I'm tired, bye~!" I said to the brothers. I walked over to Thorin who was speaking with Bofur. "Thorin..." I said politely tapping on his shoulder. "Yes?" He asked taking my hand. "I'm going back to the inn, just so you know where I am." I said before kissing his cheek. Before I could walk away he grabbed my arm. "Here, stay in my room. Here's the extra key." He said handing me his spare. "Why?" I asked. "I don't want that disgusting man coming near you, and I know he knows which room is yours. Be careful my love. I'll be there in a little while." He said before kissing my hand. I smiled and nodded, "goodnight, just incase I'm asleep by the time you get in." I said before walking off.

I made my way quickly through the town and back to the inn. I went into my room and grabbed my things before going into Thorin's room which was down the hall. His room was nicer for some reason, with a bigger bed and a beautiful view of the lake from his window. "Wow..." I muttered as I set my stuff down. I looked in the mirror and scowled, I had ale trailing down my stomach and chest. "Ugh." I muttered before going into the bathroom and quickly taking a bath.

After doing so I combed through my bet hair and got all the knots out. I put back on the shirt Bards daughter gave to me. I yawned and pulled back the covers to the bed. I crawled in and layed my head on the rather cushy pillow. I moved around quite a bit before finally finding a comfy position...which happened to be laying on my side and taking Thorin's pillow as well and hugging it while mine moved down for me to wrap my legs around. I closed my eyes and smuggled my face against the pillow.

Still slightly awake after a little bit I heard the door opened and close quietly. I kept my eyes closed, because I could already tell it was Thorin from the way he smelled. I heard him walk around for a little while, then I heard the bathroom door open I peeked my eyes open and saw him walk in and shut the door, since I was facing the direction of the bathroom. I heard silence then the water for the tub run. I stayed silent and tried to go to sleep. After a small while I heard the water draining and Thorin open the bathroom door. I peeked my eyes open slightly and saw Thorin with a Towel around his waist come out. I closed my eyes quickly as he walked to the other side of the room. I heard him rummage through his things and the sound of him pulling on what I would think where his underwear. I peaked open my eyes and looked over slightly though not enough for him to know I was awake. I saw him, in nothing but his underwear re braiding his hair. I closed my eyes again and hugged his pillow.. I then felt the bed shake as he got in. I could instantly feel the warmth his body offered as he laid beside me. Soon enough felt him poke my shoulder. I groaned. "You took my pillow." I could tell he was smiling from the tone in his voice. "...I have no idea what your talking about. Suddenly he gently pulled the pillow out of my arms and took it. I sat up and looked at him. "Hey...I was using that." I pouted. He laid his head down and looked up at me. His arm was stretched out to where my head where to lay. "Fine then I'm using your arm." I said before plopping down with my head on his rather toned bicep. I then felt his move to his side so his body was pressed against my back, his other arm moving to hug around my waist. I then felt his arm I was laying on curve, so his hand rested on my upper arm. I then realized be was actually using me like I was using his pillow...before he took it. I felt him gently kiss the upper part of the back of my head. "Goodnight Tygr." He said in a husky tired voice. I smiled slightly and moved my hand over his that was over my arm and held the top of his hand. "Goodnight Thorin." I said happily.
