The Hobbit Imagines IV

Imagine Bilbo standing up for you

Imagine requested by someone who wishes to stay anynomous; One with Bilbo and a human reader. Where the two are engaged, but despite that, reader still has small doubt to weather Bilbo truly cares for her due to a bad past of bullying. Then people in the Shire don't like the idea of a human being among them, so they start to do and say things to try to make her leave. He knows something has been bothering her but she won't say anything to him. Then one day he catches wind of what has been going on and he stands up for her, making her realize that he does care for her and love her and that she'll be ok.

"Love, are you coming with me? I am going to pick up some vegetables for dinner!" you called through the small hobbit hole.

Your voice boomed through the empty halls. No answer came to your question. You sighed. Sometimes your betrothed was so caught up in one of his many books that he simply didn't hear you.

~Or he doesn't want to hear you. Maybe he's ignoring you?~

That voice again. A small empty hole started to form in your stomache. That is not something you needed to hear right now. Of course he... maybe he loved you. Why would he propose to you if he didn't?

"Sweetheart?" you called out again, your stomache starting to hurt. Again no answer.

You followed the scent of honey tea until you reached his study. "Bilbo I wanted to ask you if you would like to c-"

He sighed, putting the book down on his desk. "I just got to a very exciting part in my book, (y/n). What is it?" He sounded annoyed. You had disturbed him.

"N-nothing, it is nothing. I'm sorry" you immediately apologised instead of asking him to come to the market with you.

He turned around to face you. The light of the fireplace created dancing shadows on his face. "You decided to disturb my reading time when you have absolutely nothing to ask me?" He rolled his eyes. "That is just splendid."

Tears welled up in your eyes. "I shall leave you to it then."

He threw his hands in the air. "Thank you, that is all I ask!" he said.

You didn't say another word when you left the house. Maybe some fresh air would do you good. This had been going on for some time now. Whatever you said or did it ticked Bilbo off. Maybe it was really you who was causing him so much stress.

He even had to accustom the halls to your size, seeing as how you were a human and he was a hobbit. You now had the largest home in the Shire and beyond.

When it came to a hobbit hole, that was.

It definitely brought the gossip mill down on you after the built was finished.

Not to mention the stares you received after the village found out that you were already living together. And you weren't even married yet. Just engaged.

Many housewives whispered behind your back how you probably had to be pregnant for this to happen. Why else would a member of their respectable village let themselves get trapped in such a love-lacking relationship?

You followed one of the less crowded paths into town. Sometimes you wished you would have been able to grow vegetables on your own ground.

Unfortunately you weren't great at keeping things alive. Apart from yourself that was.

And you even failed at that sometimes.

Not that you died but eating proved to be a difficult task at times. Especially when you were younger and you got made fun of because of being a bit bigger.
