I Love You More Then Gold (Mature)

Set after smaug dies and before the battle

†***********************************************†

You sigh in frustration as again your digging through mountains of gold looking for that stupid glowing hunk of rock that the stupid, arrogant, obsessed dwarf..called Thorin..was searching frantically for. He refused to let anyone rest ,if they did then he gave them such scathing looks that they immediately went back searching for it. Your hands and body ached so bad as you hunched over digging thruogh the blasted yellow pieces of metal searching for the Arkenstone. As your moving your hands around you feel one of many blisters that had formed on your hands burst open and burn painfully...you had enough and standing up you stomp your way over to him seeing his glare wash over your approaching form.

"What you think your doing (Y/N)..go back searching. No resting till my birthright is found" his displeasure evident in his tone as he spoke to you.

"No! No more Thorin." You shout as you get close to him." Look at us..look at me. See what your doing to all of us?" You gestured around at everyone there who are watching you with distress clouding their features as some try to get you to stop...you just ignore them as you keep on." Can't you see what's happening to you? This is madness..searching for that absurd hunk of rock you call your blasted birthright!"

"Lass..just let it go. Don't make it worse..we're okay." Balin grabs your hand hoping to get you away as he notices Thorins face become enraged.

"No Balin! I wont let it go ,,hes consumed with the gold sickness..just like his grandfather and look where that got everyone." You turn back to Thorin" Well you can shove your birthright where the sun doesn't shine oh great King Under The Mount..." your words are cut off as a loud crack is heard through the room making you stagger back away from Thorin who just struck you. Balin grabs his arm ...while telling you to get out of the room. You start backing away looking at the man you have loved since the moment that you layed eyes on him..not noticing how close to the edge of a steep drop off you were.

"How dare you question me! " he roared at you .

"I dare cause I...I..I love you." you whisper out as a tears start falling down your face over this admission and you turn to get away so you dont have to see his disgust, encountering nothing but air under you as you plummet down over the edge you hadnt noticed behind you.

"(Y/N)!" you hear as you fall then your body makes a hard impact on the gold down below knocking you unconscious not seeing the look of horror crossing over Thorins face as you disspear over the edge.

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

You feel something cold moving down you cheeks as darkness fades and you come into wakefullness. Slowly opening your eyes you see Thorin sitting next to you on a bed ,that your body is laying on, dipping a cloth into a bowl of water and wringing it out to gently wipe your face with it. You see his face written with concern all over it and unshed tears in his crystal blue orbs as he stares into your (E/C) eyes that are filled with pain. He looks away from your eyes for a moment and then taking your hand into his own large one you hear his tormented whisper reaching your ears.

"You are right. I am afflicted with the madness..like my gamal khagam before me." he sighs heavily and then looks at you." (Y/N) ..Im the one who did this too you..Im the cause of your pain. I have no right to ask for your forgivness and i know I do not deserve it nor do I deserve your love..but please ..i beg of you to forgive this disgraceful dwarf ." he chokes out as a tear begins to fall down his anguished face." Please stay with me. I cant fight this sickness alone anymore..men lananubukhs menu." those words that you have longed to hear for the longest time from this dwarf who bowed over your hand weeping openly made your heart sing in joy.
