Hobbit One-Shots Book 2

Irish Hearts (Bofur/Bel) (part 1)

A/N: Song is Drive By- Train (Gaeilge version)if you want to hear more of what Kili, Bofur, and Tauriel sing go to youtube and look up TG Lurgan or Seo Linn Band...I love all their songs they sing which are gaeilge (Irish language). Kili, Bofur, and Tauriel's band name is Mac Tire Ceol (wolfsong) pronounced (mac teir ke-ol.). I have never been to the U.K...wish I could visit someday, so if I am incorrect in any description of these places then I apologize...I have only seen pictures and have become enchanted with what I have seen.

***************************

The mid spring air was filled with the loud chant of "Ce-Ol! Ce-Ol! Ce-Ol!" that echoed around Regents Park, an open air theater in the heart of London, as a sea of people's voices coaxed the Irish band Mac Tire Ceol (wolfsong) up onto the stage. The Mac Tire Ceol was a new upcoming group that loved to take popular songs and sing them in Gaeilge, an Irish language that was still spoken in mass upon those Emerald Isles that were filled with tales of magic and ancient myths. In this group was Kili Durin, the lead singer and the voice that lured the listeners in with its magical dark velvety sounds. His two vocal back-ups were his childhood best friend, Tauriel Greene who's voice spiraled around like an angels and his other close friend, Bofur Broadbeam whom he met in college a few years ago. Both men connected on a deep level at University when during a party they sang together and discovered how Bofur's rich mellow voice blended so perfectly with Kili's rich deep one. When they sang together that night magic seemed to happen and neither of their lives were the same again. Shortly after that night they found themselves during any spare time converging to sing together, along with Tauriel who provided a lovely infusion to both men's own. Overtime they decided to put their schooling on hold and formed a band that grew into what it was now two years later..a popular and fiery group that inflamed something inside their listeners to hear more of their Irish sounds. Their manager was Kili's Uncle, Thorin Oakenshield , who gave support to his nephews dreams along with his other nephew, Kili's older brother Fili Durin who played various instruments like the guitar and violin/fiddle. Their own mother, Dis Durin also joined in with her support by helping to manage the group and play a few instruments and taught dance to some of the backup dancers.

The chanting began to swell louder as it spiraled up into the night air...enticing the band to begin in weaving their enchanting musical spell upon them. Suddenly the lights dimmed as the melody of the ocean's waves lapping on the shore with a cello resonating over the speakers into the night air being swiftly followed by the strumming of a guitar to provide a steady tempo as a light upon the stage illuminated a blond haired man with braided mustache playing the sonorous apparatus. As the blond haired man played upon the stage a rich voice floated out of the darkness from behind the audience off of the stage...a light fell upon a lone figure with dark hair that was bound in a tail that trailed down his back with multiple braids cascading from it..displaying the golden hooped rings in his ears. His eyes were hazel as they scanned the crowd that gazed upon his form swathed in rich midnight black open fronted shirt and loose pants with a dark red and burnish gold fringed wrap around his hips. It was the second lead singer, Bofur Broadbeam. The light reflected off his golden earrings and necklace that hung down upon his chest that was open to reveal the dark hair gathered there as his rich mellow voice caressed the ears of the crowd before him.

He flashed a smile out to the crowd and gave a wink to a few ladies close by just as on either side of him lights lit up to display two others dressed similarly as him with the exception of hip wraps of different colors...one was rich blue with silver fringe and the other was emerald green with silver fringe. It was none other than the other two lead singers and his closest friends Kili Durin and Tauriel Greene. Their voices joined his as the melody spiraled around to gather others that stood upon the stage before them to join in singing a body moving song. The crowd stood to cheer as the three singers strolled down the aisles that laid between the audiences seats and led to the stage where they joined their mates before the throng that came to listen to them. Through the long night they spurred the crowd on as they sang and danced for them upon the stage, propelling the roars of delight into a feverish pitch that swarmed around the park. Hearing the sounds of the crowd enjoying themselves made the three singers hearts escalate as they belted out popular songs translated into gaelic. Finally the night came to an end and the band was able to retire for the night, convening together backstage one last time for the next few months. As they made their way inside their lounge room, Tauriel grabbed two cold waters out of the small fridge and went to sit on the couch next to her friend, Bofur, who took the soda from her..grateful for the cold fluid to relieve the bit of dryness in his throat. Her red hair that was tied up into a high tail swaying with her movements as her bright green eyes focused on the ruggedly muscular man's gleaming hazel eyes.
