The Hobbit &The Lord of The Rings Imagines

Bard

"A black arrow! Bard, you lying snitch!" you laugh as you and Bard race through Laketown, Bard's hand gripping the last Black Arrow, the only thing that can kill the terrible dragon, Smaug.

Bard, usually amused by your laugh in the middle of a situation, felt a little annoyed by the fact that you ARE laughing before The Master will chase him and try to arrest him. He grabs your hand and pulled you into a closed shop with him as a group of soldiers passed by.

"Are you ALWAYS this excited about danger?" he asked a little above a whisper.

"Are you always this WORRIED?" you giggled silently back.

He frowns and slowly lets go of your arm as he looks around from the window of the shop. He sees no guards and looks back at you.

"Alright. My son and I will take it from here. I'm supposed to meet him at the docks."

"Without me? You can't be serious!" you start to frown.

"I need you to watch after the girls for me. Take care of them and-!"

"Don't you DARE say goodbye like this!" you snap as you refuse to look up him, you seemed more interested with nervously playing with the strings on his jacket and chest to stall some time with him. You hate it when he says a farewell and then comes back alive, almost giving you a heart attack. You hate it when he constantly thinks it is his DUTY to sacrifice so much for Laketown. Bard chuckles at your nervous gesture.

"Alright. How about a proper farewell?"

"Bard, I meant-!"

But he didn't let you finish as he smashes his lips into yours. You feel tears slip past your cheeks the moment his arms wrapped protectively around you, comforting you like everything will be okay. But it won't be okay. This may be your last first kiss with him if he's willing to put himself in danger...without you. You melted into his warm, passionate, wet kiss as you press up against his body, kissing him back as lean up to him. His hands slip to the small of your back as your hands rest up and down against his chest. He gently breaks the kiss and leans his forehead against yours.

"Do not worry. I shall go slay a dragon to protect my family, then I'll come home and marry you." He whispered.

You giggle with a fast heartbeat and redden ears and cheeks. You press your head against his chest, feeling his heart beat fast with you so close to him like this.

"BARD!" the captain of the guard yells out in the distance.

Bard parts from you with an encouraging smile and he leaves, leaving you in the dark of night, watching your lover run off away from you to make sure you and his children are safe.
