the new pages look soooo good you're incredible, all the details... i'm making heart eyesss

thorin is probably so used to people leaving so when the love of his life insists that he will stay.......

and bilbo holds him up as best as he can and the kiss ends up being fairly short but it's okay, they'll have longer kisses once thorin gets better

Royal au + Almost kiss

Ok let's do this 😃

Prince Thorin wasn't supposed to be in his 'to do' list but here Bilbo was, thinking only of how much he would like to grab this broody man's tie and kiss him like the many times he fantasized doing it. Kiss and many other stuff.

The situation now wassn't helping that much, with only the two of them on Thorin's office. As his secretary, Bilbo had spent many hours here, mostly with Balin, Thorin's right hand, and even his young nephews, when they insisted spending time with their uncle (Princess Dis wouldn't let any chance spending her time with her beloved husband). So Bilbo's job many times involved being the babysitter or teacher and he would be annoyed if, first, he didn't love kids, and secondly, didn't have the luck in that way to see Thorin's softer side and genuine smiles, like the ones he offered more and more freely and often to his new secretary.

King Thrain's birthday was a big day for the kingdom of Erebor with many celebrations, fireworks and speeches. This year was different though as King Thrain's retire was to be expected soon and thus Prince Thorin's speech would attract more attention than ever. Thorin didn't mind speeches but Bilbo could see his anxiety on his frowned eyebrows and fidgeting of his hands.

If only Bilbo could do something to soothe his nerves.

Well he had ideas but not appropriate for a secretary.

Bilbo sighed as he was looking at the window. "We can postpone it a bit. Be a little fashionably late. Who's gonna dare scold the future King?" His warm laugh made Bilbo smile and feel warm inside. Even more as he stood next to him looking at the window.

"Balin would. You would." Thorin sideeyed him, daring him to play along. Bilbo of course responded, "Me?! I would never! I respect my employers!"

The Prince scoffed and came a little closer, passing his nervousness to his secretary without realizing, or he did? "So all these times you scolded me you didn't see me as your employer? Can I dare to imagine you saw me as something more, Bilbo?"

Bilbo felt his throat dry and his little sense reminded him how inappropriate this was but screw this! He let his Took side win once again as he grabbed his tie exactly like he imagined without taking his eyes away from Thorin's. "You can dare many more things if you wish to, Thorin."

Their faces were so close they could feel each other's hot breath and and their eyes half closed, as their lips were painfully inches away.

The door opened and Dwalin, Thorin's personal bodyguard (and childhood friend), rushed in the office, without noticing Thorin and Bilbo panic. "They're all waiting for you, what the hell-" his eyebrows frowned watching them so close, "-what the hell are you doing?"

"Tie the tie!" They both answered at the same time, their blushes evident. Dwalin couldn't hide his smirk, "Riiight... Then come, your magesty, you'll have plenty of time to tie whatever later!" Bilbo wanted so badly to smash his head on the window while Thorin wanted to do the same with his friend's head.

So this took me forever, my bad! I knew the direction I wanted this to go, but I couldn’t seem to make it fit how I wanted it to. But it finally came, so here it is. This was fun to write, thanks for the prompt :)

Drabble prompts;

#39; What color do you like better?

Bilbo surveyed the options before him with a sigh. Dori was trying to persuade him to go for more traditional dwarven clothing, but the pieces felt too dark and heavy on him. He’d felt the appeal of including the royal colours - Thorin’s colours - but the selection he’d been presented with made him feel as if he were being dressed like a misfit dwarrow, and not a hobbit. He looked awkward and out of place.

Thorin had been resistant to the preparation of the royal garb - he’d not shaken the disappointment in himself for succumbing to the dragon sickness, and so shunned any heavy cloaks or robes that called back to the time he’‘d draped himself in royal furs and nearly brought ruin upon them all.

He was coming around, though.They’d agreed to go for items closer to what he’d worn as a prince, and then in Ered Luin - to build an image of Thorin Oakenshield, leader of a people, as King; not one of Thorin, son of Thráin, son of Thrór - heir to a history of madness. Bilbo had persuaded Dori to leave the clothes in their chambers for them try, rather than having them visit the tailoring rooms; they were both busy enough, and one less appointment in their schedules was a relief.

“One would think those garments have offended you, somehow”

A smile stretched across Bilbo’s face; It was a rare event when that particular deep voice didn’t cause his mood to brighten. He picked up the two best options from the table and turned.

“Which colour do you like better - ” Bilbo trailed off as he turned, his eyes roving up and down Thorin’s form. He looked - he looked imposing, and regal, and breathtakingly handsome. Dori has obviously managed to find enough fabric in the shade they’ve been seeking to match - it’s a bright, royal colour, and it contrasts with Thorins dark hair and brings out his eyes. There’s grey fur adorned with silver chains laying across his shoulders, coming across to meet in the centre of his chest, leaving a geometric window of his tunic visible. His belt is wide, with a large buckle bearing Thorin’s sigil in the centre. Thorin’s thumbs are resting either side of it, adorned in rings. He’s always stolen the breath from Bilbo’s chest, even wearing the old cast offs Bard had provided them in Laketown - but this. This is something else entirely.

By the time he’s dragged his eyes back up to meet Thorin’s, he looks vaguely uncomfortable. Bilbo crosses to him, discarding the clothes he was holding on a chair as he passes, and lays his fingertips on the grey fur on Thorin’s chest. He follows the soft hair down, to where it meets in the centre, and then moves up to skim Thorin’s throat and out across his shoulders.

“Thorin. You look - I’ve not the words. This is... this is perfect”

Thorin seems surprised.

“Dori went a little overboard - but even the King only dares argue with him so many times”

“I’m glad. If you’d denied me the chance to see this, I’d have been disappointed indeed” 

He takes hold of Thorin’s braids, and pulls him forwards to speak the last words against his mouth, so there can be no doubt as to his meaning. Thorin smiles, and his hands come up to Bilbo’s waist - they’re so large they nearly cover his back.  

“Perhaps I’ll allow him his judgement and keep them after all, then, if it pleases my intended consort so”

Bilbo’s fingers toy with the ornate clasp holding the furs joined in the middle, slowly unhooking it and inching the fabric up over Thorin’s shoulders.

“I think I’d like to inspect it all a little more closely, to make sure I approve of it all. Piece by piece. Right now”
