The Hobbit Imagines: Volume I (DISCONTINUED)

Nori - Moonlight Shadow

Hi guys, I just wanted to tell you that my imagines will now be either in 1st or 3rd person's view. @LukeHemmo_0716 ,this imagine is a gift for you, to a good writer and friend, happy reading!

It was a typical night, when nothing exciting or new happens. I walked into tavern that was full of various merchants and workers, who just wanted to relax after work and have a good time.

One of my fellow thieves, Nori, told me to come here to have a talk with him, though I don't now why he would ask me to do that. I guess his brother Dori talked him into it as he is the 'mother hen' to his younger brothers, who tries to keep them in their best behaviour. But for Nori, I think it's too late, as he has proved to us all, that he doesn't care about behaving like a good citizen, he wants to be free of 'petty laws' as he calls them.

Forty nine years ago, when I was still considered a child, I didn't care much about freedom. My parents or rather my mother, always pampered me, i.e dressed me up like a princess she thinks I am, though we are a commoner family, no royalty in our blood at all. 

Nori, who back then was still a starting thief, said to me those six words 'Be a slave or be free'. I'll never forget what he said as those words still sound like a vow to me. They are my vow. But let us get back to the present. 

As I order a pint of ale, from the corner of my eye I see a shadowed figure coming inside the tavern. I take my ale and walk to where that figure was sitting- in the farthest corner, near a small window. 

"Well, well, well, look who's come here." I say as I take a sit in the opposite chair. 

"It's good to see you [Y/N], although I still surprised, that you have actually come here." chortles Nori before taking off his hood. He still looks handsome even with this 'starfish' hairstyle that looks quite weird, but is still very nice. There is an awkward silence between us as we look at each other. I somewhat nervously twirl my [Y/H/C] coloured hair between my fingers. The piercing blue eyes that stare at me are making me nervous. 

I decide to break the silence "So why did you call me here to have a talk Nori? Is it about new job or something personal? Hey don't just stare at me, say something, please." He looks at both sides, to check that no-one is listening to our conversation.

"Yes, I have some new jobs ready to be done, but there's one matter, that needs to be talked about. [Y/N].....I.....want to ask you something.....,but not here, let's go outside. I know just the place we can have a talk without extra pairs of ears." This sounds a bit secretive, but I still give him a slight nod and we walk out.

When we stand outside the tavern, I breathe in the cool air. Although dwarves don't fear the cold so much, I can't help but shiver a bit. I think Nori noticed that, because in the next moment a warm fur cloak was put on my shoulders. I blushed a bit for that gesture of politeness. I looked at Nori and gave him a small smile as a 'thank you'.

We walked for about thirty minutes until we reached a small clearing that looked very beautiful in the moonlight. It looked kind of romantic to me, but nevertheless it was still a magnificent place.

"Now, I think you had something to say to me Nori." I say to him with a raised brow."

He walks around a bit then comes to a full stop, facing the clearing. I see him taking something glistening out his pocket. He breathes in and out a few times and then I hear him mumble 'It's now or never.'.

He turns around and opens up his palm, where some silver beads with intricate carvings lay on it. I let out a soft gasp, because I know that it could mean only one thing.

"[Y/N], as we have known each other for many years, I come to realise that you are my heart, my One. Would you give me an honour to officially start courting you?" he says, looking me in the eye. I never thought that he would love someone like me, a girl with hard past and a bounty on her head, worth over thousand gold pieces.

"I....I-I don't know what to say Nori. I had no idea that you harboured such feelings towards me." I take a slight pause "But I want to say.....that I love you too, my prince of the night."

His eyes are now full of hope. "So you accept?"

I give him a smile. He shouts 'Yes!', takes my face into his hands and passionately kisses me. I feel the spark between us, that should have been lit before. Butterflies fly in my stomach and my head gets lighter.

When we finally end the kiss, he quietly whispers while moonlight is shining upon us"I love you my moonlight shadow, now and forever."

I had to use a good portion of my khm khm 'romantic' khm skills. You know there are so little imagines made about the rest of the company besides our 'favourite trio', so that I decided to write an imagine about Nori. I hope you all liked it though, vote and comment,
