69. Threads of Love - Kili x female reader (The Hobbit)

Y/N stood in front of the mirror, her brows furrowed in concentration as she examined the array of garments spread out before her. Each piece had been meticulously chosen for this momentous occasion, yet none seemed to convey the perfect blend of confidence and respect Y/N sought to present to Kili's mother, Dis.

Frustration bubbled within Y/N as she tugged at the fabric of yet another outfit, the weight of anticipation settling heavily upon her shoulders. This meeting with Dis was more than just a simple introduction—it was a chance to gain the approval of someone who held immense significance in Kili's life.

Lost in her thoughts, Y/N didn't hear the soft footfalls approaching their shared chamber until the door creaked open behind them.

"Y/N? Are you ready?" Kili's voice cut through the quiet, warm, and concerned.

Startled, Y/N spun around, only to freeze in place as she found herself face-to-face with Kili, Y/N's heart pounding in her chest. In her haste to find the perfect attire, she had forgotten to dress fully and now stood before Kili in nothing but her undergarments.

Heat flooded Y/N's cheeks as embarrassment washed over her, and she scrambled to grab the nearest garment to cover herself. "Kili! I-I'm so sorry, I didn't hear you come in," she stammered, cheeks flushed with mortification.

Kili's eyes widened briefly in surprise before a mischievous grin spread across his face. "No need to apologize, Melamin (my love)," he said with a playful wink, using the Elvish term of endearment that never failed to make Y/N's heart flutter.

"I... I just got caught up in trying to choose the right outfit for meeting your mother," she explained, giving a small, awkward smile.

Kili stepped further into the room, his grin softening into a warm smile as he approached her. "You look beautiful no matter what you wear," he said sincerely, reaching out to gently tilt Y/N's chin up to meet his gaze. "You look even more beautiful without clothes, Y/N."

Y/N's cheeks flushed deeper at Kili's unexpected compliment, a mixture of embarrassment and flustered amusement coloring her features. She bit her lip, unsure of how to respond to his bold statement.

"Kili..." she began, her voice trailing off as she met his gaze, her heart fluttering at the warmth and sincerity in his eyes. Despite her initial embarrassment, she couldn't help but feel a surge of affection for the dwarf standing before her.

Suppressing a laugh of her own, Y/N reached up to gently brush a strand of hair away from Kili's face, her touch light and tender. "You always know just what to say," she murmured, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Even when it's... unexpected."

Kili's grin widened at her response, his eyes twinkling with mischief as he leaned in closer. "Well, I speak from the heart," he said with a playful wink, his voice filled with warmth. "And my heart tells me that you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."

Despite the lingering traces of embarrassment, Y/N couldn't help but feel a rush of affection for Kili, his words melting away any doubts or insecurities she had about her appearance. With a soft sigh, she leaned into his touch, her heart swelling with love for the dwarf who had captured her heart in more ways than one.

"Thank you, Kili," she whispered, her voice barely above a breath as she met his gaze with a tender smile. "For always making me feel special, even in moments like this."

Kili's smile faltered a little as he searched her eyes for a better explanation. "What'd you mean by moments like this?"

Y/N's smile faltered slightly as she met Kili's curious gaze, her cheeks flushing with a deeper shade of pink. She took a moment to gather her thoughts, unsure of how to articulate the whirlwind of emotions coursing through her.
