Note: This is the last day! I hope you all enjoyed the 30-days of fics!

Pairing: Bilbo x Reader

It shouldn’t be this hard.

Kissing the love of your life to show affection. Shouldn’t be hard at all. But for Bilbo, it was like facing Smaug all over again. Terror ran through his veins as he thought of your reaction. You were only courting for a few months, your personality and charm winning him over instantly when you first met. So why is it so darn hard?

‘It’s because you’re scared of pushing them away’ Bilbo’s inner conscience answered, his eyes widening as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. Just having washed his face, water droplets dripped from his eyelashes, nose, and chin, making a pitter-patter sound against the sink.

“No more excuses.” He told himself, his Took confidence coming out as he dried his face quickly.

Today would be the day.

Or so he thought.

As the Erebor Yuletide party continued around him, Bilbo wondered if he’d ever meet his goal. When he saw you arrive, he was breathless. Your clothes accentuating all the right places, your hair not even a dash out of place, your smile wide and glowing. Bilbo’s confidence deflated completely, so he decided to resort to moping in the corner.

Nursing his mug of ale, Bilbo observed the room, seemingly unseen by the party goers. Several drunken couples kissing clumsily in the corner got his brows furrowing as his mouth imitated the movement of kissing.

“What are you doing, Bilbo?” You raised a brow at him, walking up with your own drink in your hand. Jumping, Bilbo sloshed the drink over his sleeve causing him to mentally curse. “N-nothing, just observing the party is all, e-excuse me, I need to go wash off my sleeve,” Bilbo stammered, remembering why he was avoiding you. ‘If I can’t even kiss (Y/n), what am I doing trying to win their affection,’ He scolded himself as he made a dash to the bathroom to go wash his sleeve.

Pacing in the bathroom, Bilbo thought through a million different scenarios on how to approach the topic, while the Took side of him just screamed ‘Go kiss, no talk!’

Sighing, Bilbo rubbed his temples as he tried to come up with a solution.

When Bilbo left, a wave of concern flew over you as you tried to think of why he was avoiding you. Did he not want to court anymore? Did he find someone else? Biting your lip you took a deep breath and sat down your drink on a tray, following where Bilbo ran off to only minutes before.

“Bilbo?” You called, worry clear in your voice as you knocked on the bathroom door. Nearly jumping out of his skin, Bilbo’s heart raced a mile a minute, panic settling in. “Just a second!” Bilbo called, his voice high and nasally as he struggled to come up with an excuse for why it’s taking him so long.

“Bilbo, are you alright?” You questioned in a softer tone, getting no response this time.

“Bilbo, I’m coming in.” You announced, turning the doorknob to check to see if it was locked.

Opening the door, your gaze softened when you saw Bilbo leaning against the wall, his hands covering his face. “What’s going on Bilbo?” You questioned, walking up to him and carefully prying one of his hands away from his face. “I-I..” Bilbo didn’t want to say it, he didn’t want you to break off the courtship, he didn’t want you to leave.

“I’m sorry.” Bilbo started, suddenly looking up at you with a glint in his eye. “Wha--” Before you could finish asking him what for, his lips were on yours in a deep kiss. Eyes widening you squeaked slightly before slowly pushing back, responding to the kiss happily.

When the two of you pulled away you were breathless and Bilbo had a smug smile before it turned into a worried frown.

“I’msorry(Y/n)IjusthadtogetitoutanddoitalreadyIwasstressingsomuchoverthethoughtofyouleavingmebecauseIhadn’teverkissedyoubecausewearefarinourcourtshipandItrulydocareaboutyouanddon’twanttoloseyouandI’msorryIdidthatwithoutyourpermissioncanyoueverforgiveme?” Bilbo rushed, his face bright red with embarrassment as he rambled.

“Bilbo,” You interrupted, pressing your finger to his lips with a smile as he muttered a small “What?”

“Just shut up and kiss me.”
