Imagine: Falling in love with Thorin , not expecting him to love you in return

Part one

After a long, hard day of working in Erebor's armory cleaning weapons, and practicing your fighting skills; you were ready to just collapse and fall asleep. You went to gather your things and got ready to go back to your chambers, when a familiar deep, velvety voice caused you to jump and turn around. "Y/N?" "Oh Thorin, sorry, you've scared me," You said with a laugh, "I did not know you were right behind me." Thorin chuckled and winced as he answered, "Sorry, I just came to tell you, you did really well today. You've come so far in your skills, you are actually getting to be far better than the men." You blushed a little, and thanked him. "I am actually heading off to my chambers, I am absolutely exhausted after all of that today." You tried to hold back a yawn, but failed to do so. Thorin heartily laughed and said, "No doubt, indeed." you sighed internally and your heart skipped a beat, you could listen to that laugh all the time. "Would you like me to escort you home?" he asked, "I would like that very much, thank you." I said without hesitation. Thorin gave a light smile as he offered you his arm, you hooked yours in his, and walked home. 

You have fallen in love with Thorin since you have been joined him and his company, but you've been the best of friends since the beginning. You thought that there could be no way in Mahal's good green acres that his feelings were mutual, no, you knew he did not love you: how could a king court and marry a common girl. To you, Thorin was the greatest of men, with a heart so steadfast and true (not to mention the fact that he was incredibly handsome). Deep down, you hoped that he felt the very same as you did for him. As the two of you walked through the halls of Erebor, you looked at the corner of your eye to glance up at him, and you noticed that he was looking down at you, "You seem out of sorts, Y/N, are you quite well?" My head shot up from out of my daydream, "Oh,.....Um...yes, thank you, Thorin" you stammered "Forgive me, I was just deep in my thoughts." you looked down at your feet. " There's nothing to forgive, my dear friend." Thorin said softly. You walked the rest of the way in silence.

"Here I am." you stated as you approached your chamber door, "here you are." Thorin repeated. He looked down into your eyes with a look you've never seen before, almost loving, your heart began to beat rapidly in your chest as he lifted his hand towards your face to move a lock of loose hair behind your ear. You couldn't hold it in any longer, so you worked up the courage to finally say it. "Thorin?" you asked, "Hmm?" Thorin hummed still looking into into your y/e/c eyes, you took in a deep breath before you said, "There is something I want to tell you." I wish to tell you something, too, but you first." he replied. "Alright, here it goes." you thought to yourself, "Thorin........since I joined you, in the armory, I have grown very close with you." you started, beginning to stutter, "What I mean to say is....I love you." You looked up at him, and his eyes had a certain gleam in them, they sparkled in the candle light. He bore the most handsome and brightest of smiles, then he cupped your face in his hands, and leaned in slowly. You fluttered your eyes shut and his lips met yours.

You slowly wrapped your arms around his neck to deepen the kiss, he then pulled away and said, "Oh my dear Y/N, you have no idea as to how much this has made me happy, for I have loved you from the moment I met you." You both looked at each other in tearful happiness, "I love you, Y/N L/N." Thorin whispered, I giggled "I love you too, Thorin Oakenshield." And he wrapped you up in his arms and spun you around. When he put you down, he fumbled around in his pockets, then to take out a beautifully, and intricately detailed silver bead with a pale opal in the middle. "Y/N, my love, will you do me the honor of courting me?" You looked at the bead awestruck, and replied, "Of course I will." Thorin smiled, then took a lock of hair from behind your ear, and began to braid your hair in the most intricate plait. When he finished, he placed the bead in it. "Amralime" he said, and wrapped you in his arms once more, and then kissing your cheek gently. "It is beautiful, Thorin." "Just like you, now, dearest one, I do believe it is time for you to get your rest" He  cooed. You yawned, and he tucked you in your warm bed, before you shut your eyes, you said, "Wait." "What is it, Y/N?" He asked, "Will you stay with me?". Thorin turned around and got under the covers with you, you laid your head and hand on his chest, an he wrapped his arm around you. "I always, will stay with you, no matter what." Silence answered him, "Y/N?" and he heard your relaxed breathing, as you fell fast asleep. "Good night, my ghivashel" Thorin whispered, and kissed the top of your head.
