The Hobbit Imagines IV

Imagine Thorin after Botfa

This one was requested by dirtydixon_  about two months ago... I am sorry it took me this long to write it, but here it finally is :) I hope you enjoy it! The request; A drabble with Thorin after they reclaimed Erebor. With as much smut as possible for good measure.

I wanted to try something out so that is why there is a Dutch version of this story underneath the English one. It is the exact same story, don't worry, just in Dutch :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you ready for our walk, my dear?"

You looked up from your book. Feeling a little bit disorientated from returning to the real world, you looked at your husband with a blurry vision. "I'm sorry?"

Thorin smiled kindly down at you. "Our walk. I promised you that we would go for a walk this afternoon." He spread his arms as a welcoming gesture. "And so here I am."

It took your mind some time to catch up but when the message sunk in, the book was long forgotten. Softly it landed on the pillows on your bed as you hurried to put your shoes on. "Where are we going today? I was thinking about the higher hills."

Thorin chuckled as he watched you balancing on one leg trying to get the shoe on your other foot. "Perhaps the inside garden? We haven't been there for a while."

"Great idea. As soon as I - get my - shoe on."

A steady arm wrapped around your waist. "Maybe this helps?' Thorin offered, keeping a straight face. His lips wanted to curl into a smile though. 

The shoe was on before you knew it.

"That does sound like a good plan dear husband. Why don't you lead the way?"

Sharing stories about the weather, your day and your love for each other, you made your way down to the inner garden of Erebor.

It was built after most restorations were done to Erebor itself. Noticing that you missed your garden, Thorin had ordered for one to be built. With the help of a certain hobbit it had turned out beautifully.

Whenever you felt a hankering for some fresh air and greenery, you simply had to go to the center of the mountain.

That way Thorin didn't have to worry about your safety, as much, and the guards could stay at their post. Everyone was happy with this arrangement.

Smelling the flowers from afar, you spead up your pace a bit. Thorin smiled when he noticed. He puffed out his chest a little knowing that he had given his wife the perfect courting gift. "Any particular path you would like to take today?" he asked.

The memory of the lavender that grew on the west side of the garden blossomed in your mind. "I would like to see the lavender today. Maybe we can see more if you have the time today" you said, looking up at him with a smile.

Thorin nodded. "Fili is on duty today. As long as war doesn't break out, we should be fine."

And so you took the road that lead to the west side. Roses were placed all around the garden because they reminded Thorin of you.

Most of them were a deep shade of red while others stood out because of their vibrant pink colors.

The sun reached inside the cave through several carefully placed holes. You weren't sure how, but they allowed the sunrays to reach all the way down to the center of the mountain. It was a long time ago when you had learned to ask too many questions when it came to dwarven inventions.
