Relationships: Thorin x You (Modern girl in Middle Earth)

Content: Fluff, angst, rated T

Summary: You come from our world and arrive just before the quest for Erebor. You will accompany the company pretending to be a boy, yell at Thorin and all of Durin's heirs will survive.

Chapter 3: The party

The following days, you try to be useful. Now that the company knows you are a girl, even though you are still dressed in your men's clothes, some treat you differently than on the trip. On the other hand, you are happy you no longer have to hide your gender. No more bandage on your chest. You can finally breathe! But you're glad you kept your bra out of your world. Fortunately for you, Bofur and Bifur accept your help. During several days, you help to clean the rooms which accommodate the wounded of the battle. Sometimes you even help Bombur serve meals; just like you did during the quest.

You ended up meeting all the members of the company except one: Thorin. This is convenient for you because you still don't know how to apologize after everything you have said to him. Ferin. You yelled at him about his brother's death, right!? You don't want to go see him either, because he certainly has more to do than listen to a human as he prepares to be king. If he wanted to kick you off his mountain, he would have done it a long time ago, no? Finding your place in this world, as Gandalf told you, seems more complicated than it sounds. The uncertainty of your situation makes you anxious, so you prefer to spend your time cleaning the rooms to avoid thinking about it.

Once the dead are buried, the dwarves begin to celebrate their victory. Thorin's coronation is due in a few months. He wants to wait until his sister and other Blue Mountain dwarves return to Erebor first. The first few evenings you helped prepare for the festivities with Bilbo's help. When it comes to partying, the hobbit knows how to give great advice! Bring the ingredients to Bombur, serve meals and drinks, etc. You only stop to bathe and sleep. In truth, you don't mind. You are happy to see all the joy in Erebor!

One evening when you are wiping glasses, Fíli and Kíli come to pick you up to join them for a drink together. Little by little, they have resumed their habits and attitudes with you. That is to say, annoy you or make jokes. You agree to follow them and they lead you to the hall of festivities. The table where they lead you is already full. Bofur, Bifur, Nori, Dori and Bilbo are already seated. Dáin, Balin, Dwalin and Thorin are a table further from yours. You've never seen these four laugh so hard!

Your gaze eventually refocuses on the people around your table. They all smile when you arrive and make room for you.

- "So," begins Bofur. "A cold beer or wine?" - "Wine!" you answer with enthusiasm. "I haven't stopped all day, that's exactly what I need!" - "All right my lady!" he says, holding you a glass. - "(Y/N). Um, my name is (Y/N) actually... but if you prefer Arthur, you can-" - "(Y/N)!" Kíli shouts, sitting down next to you, putting an arm around your shoulders. "It's pretty!" - "Kíli is right," Nori says, smiling. "It fits you well." - "Wait," Bilbo begins, half annoyed, half disappointed. "Hasn't anyone asked her her name since you found out she's a woman?" - "It-it's nothing Bilbo," you say with red cheeks as you hear them compliment your real name. "Right, let's drink to the reconquest of Erebor!"

The evening, which is already well started, continues. Dwarves drink, sing, dance, shout, yell! It has been a while since you have had so much fun! You dance with all the dwarves from your table. Some dwarves in the room are looking at you strangely. Certainly because you are still dressed as a man, with no bandage flattening your chest and your hair down. It is now easy to understand that you are a woman.
