"So you're the new guy, eh?" A very drunken but cheerful dwarf sat beside Bilbo and took a big sip from his drink.
"Yes, I believe I could be referred as such. I'm Bilbo, by the way." He said and minded his language even more than usual to hide the fact that the multiple drinks he'd been offered did actually have an impact on him.
"Bofur! Nice you meet ya Bilbo!" The dwarf introduced himself and gave then Bilbo a once over. "Say now, how did you do it?" He asked with a smirk.
Bilbo was a bit taken back by this sudden stare and quite rude, he thought, manner Bofur was now talking to him. "I am sorry," His words slurred more than necessary, "but I have no idea what you are talking about." Bilbo drank from his glass and averted his eyes away from Bofur. He was uncomfortable by the growing smirk that the dwarf was looking at him with.
"Don't know what I'm talking about! You Bilbo, mustn't hide it like that, everyone's talking about it." Bofur said and playfully nudged Bilbo's arm with his elbow. "You see, there's no way such thing could go unnoticed."
"I'm sorry," Bilbo looked at him puzzled, "but maybe you're mistaken? I still don't know what you could possible be referring to." Bilbo said in a voice that clearly stated his mind being set on Bofur misunderstanding something.
"No, no! It can't be! I saw it with my own eyes, you can't fool me. Now tell me, Mr Bilbo, I absolutely must know."
"Know what?" Bilbo was growing impatient with the dwarf.
"I'm curious! Tell me!" Bofur pleaded Bilbo, who was getting embarrassed, for Bofur's raised voice had a few people looking at their way, looking fairly amused. "If you only told me, what it is that you want to know of! For as long as I know, I haven't done much today to people be speaking about." Bilbo said trying to sound not as angry and embarrassed as he was.
Bofur gave Bilbo a look. "Oh, really. Like you don't know that you've got our King totally smitten by you?"
"I," Bilbo looked at the King's direction, there he was talking with Balin, who Bilbo had met earlier at the drinking party. "I what? Thorin and… me? No, no. I am sorry but we- We are just friends. He and I." Bilbo stammered, his face flaming hot with embarrassment by such an assumption.
"Oh is that so?" Bofur asked amused as he too was looking at the King's direction.
"Yep. That's exactly how things are." Bilbo nodded and then saw Thorin turn his head and their eyes met.
Bofur wrapped his arm around Bilbo's neck suddenly and pulled him close to his side. "Just friends you say, eh? I believe the change in his expression is for… what, exactly, do you think?" Bofur smirked as he and Bilbo both saw Thorin's brows furrow. They saw him turning away to say something to Balin who shook his head after the King headed his steps towards his honour-quest of the night.
"Thorin! What a great party!"Bofur cheered once he was at the hearing distance from the two. "And excellent music, I must add!"
Thorin ignored him completely and spoke to Bilbo in stead. "Are you feeling ill, or cold perhaps?"
Bilbo was surprised by the questions. Dwarves sure had him confused with their manners. "Amm, no, I'm fine. Thank you." He answered anyways. Thorin's angry look had Bofur take his arm off the hobbit's shoulder and he simply bowed and took his leave.
"I see. Was there a reason for Bofur to be holding you then?" Thorin asked, badly hiding the tone of jealousy from his voice.
"No, not really. He just sort of, did it." Bilbo said and looked up at Thorin. "I'm quite enjoying your party."
"You are?" Thorin asked still sulking.
Trying hard to get the other's mind off of the weird behaviour of Bofur, Bilbo continued. "Yes, I even was taught how to dance properly."
Thorin cocked a brow, "Have you not danced at the Shire?"
"I have, I have of course. But our dances are different. I believe it's the music, different dances to different music, am I right?"
"That sounds very likely. Shall we hear your play tonight as well?" Thorin's proposition made Bilbo first frown but he then said with a wishful smile, "Ah, I wish I had learned how to play. I did hear you're very fond of harp, though. Is there any truth in that rumour?"
Thorin studied Bilbo's expression, which he though was reddish by the alcohol, and then said, "I play a golden harp, so what you've heard is right. I imagine you now are going to edge me to play it?"
Bilbo smiled when he saw the King already taking steps towards the stage where all the instruments were.
After delightful songs and singing and dancing to them, story telling, more drinking, laughing and generally having a good time, it was well over midnight when Thorin noticed Bilbo's steps being less and less coordinated. He gently placed his hand on the other's shoulder, getting his attention. "Hmm, Thorin, what is it?" Bilbo slurred and took a hold of Thorin's jacket once he was about to trip over. "I think you've had a bit too much to drink." Thorin let out a laugh and watched the hobbit blink a good few times. "Naah, I'm fine. And it's so fun too," Bilbo smiled whole heartedly, "Everyone's so funny! And the dancing!"
"Yes yes, you drunktard." Thorin said even if his voice was slurred too and began to walk the happy hobbit away from the crowd. "The feast's not over yet, Thorin!" Bilbo tried to argue but walked where Thorin was leading him to. "It might as well be, the others will be done partying too in no time, we can head to bed already."
After walking for a while in the halls of Erebor, Bilbo stopped Thorin. "Just, where are we going again?"
Thorin was almost amused by the look Bilbo directed at him, but the alcohol in his own blood was making him kind of tired. "Bed, of course." He said, as if the hobbit had just asked a very silly question. "As I already said when we left the party."
"Yes, but whose bed is it, exactly?"
"Mine of course, why would I be planning to sleep in anyone else's bed but my own?" Thorin said and tried to continue towards his bedchambers but Bilbo wasn't budging. He had taken his thinking-position, and was repeatedly poking his forehead with his index finger. "You sleep on your bed, it is custom to sleep on one's own bed but where would a person without a bed sleep in?" He said and seemed to be thinking hard for the answer to the question his drunken mind had come up with.
Thorin was taken back. There was sense in what the hobbit was saying. A solution was not hard to come by, though. "The King's bed is large, you are small. I think," Thorin paused and gave Bilbo an asking look, "I think we could both sleep on it since it's so roomy. Then," Thorin paused again for both of them to simultaneously nod for the brilliant idea, "Then we both would have a bed." He finished. Bilbo saw nothing wrong with such clever thinking and motioned Thorin to lead the way again.
Once they reach the destination, Thorin let Bilbo in and locked the door after them. Bilbo gave him an unsure look to which Thorin simply answered with an explanation of having nephews who had no idea of privacy and had a liking to pranking. They talked only for a short while, mostly about the carvings on the walls, which Bilbo found very interesting. They'd most likely have to have this same conversation again some other day, when neither of them would be intoxicated. Thorin took off his shirt but stopped undressing when he saw the surprised look on the other's face.
"Oh, sorry 'bout that. Just thought I'd hit the bed now."
"Y-yes, that's a good idea. I-I'll just turn around so you can get under covers." Bilbo stammered and then turned Thorin his back. The King cocked his brow, but thinking then of the hobbit's shyness as cute.
"Okay, you can come to bed now too." Thorin said from the bed, he had made sure to leave to other lots of room so he'd feel confortable. Bilbo didn't answer Thorin, but simply began taking his jacket and trousers off leaving only his underwear on, like Thorin had done too. After out of his clothing, Bilbo placed his knee on the bed, trying it out. He then pushed his weight on it, with the intention of hopping on it. "Oh, could you blow out the candle?" Thorin said still turned away from Bilbo and not moving from his position. "Ah, yes." Bilbo blew out the candle and then made his way to the bed.
Thorin's bed was big, just like he had described it. It had wooden legs and headboard, with beautiful carvings on them. Bilbo thought he'd need to ask about the meaning of them too, but some other time since it was too dark to read them now. The pillow Bilbo laid his head on was heavenly soft and Bilbo couldn't help the wide smile spreading on his face. He snuggled onto the warm covers and closed his eyes. "Good night, Bilbo." He heard Thorin mumble softly. "Night." Bilbo sighed content.

After what seemed like almost an hour Bilbo had had enough. He had tossed and turned, again and again, never finding a spot were he'd be able to fall asleep. He was so tired but the dreams would not start playing in front of eyes. So he turned to Thorin. Bilbo looked at the Dwarf's back, his neck and how he seemed to be sleeping. Would he dare wake Thorin up? After everything the King had done for him, would it be selfish of him to say he wasn't feeling safe enough to fall asleep here?
Just a little bit.
A little bit closer would be good, Bilbo thought. He moved slowly under the covers, inching himself closer to the sleeping male. He pulled his pillow to lay right next to Thorin's and settled down again. His body was only inches away from Thorin now, he could feel the other's body heat. Bilbo was feeling good for moment but still couldn't fall asleep. He damned his luck but reached out his hand. He pressed it against Thorin's back.
Bilbo felt Thorin's heart beat, felt him breath and he felt warm. So incredibly warm he could not help himself from pressing his other hand on the dwarf's back too.
"Is something wrong?" Hearing Thorin's voice took Bilbo by surprise and he quickly pulled back both of his hands. "N-no, nothing."
The sheets rustled as Thorin turned on his other side so he was facing Bilbo. He tried to study the hobbit's face, but in the dark, he couldn't see the other's expression. "What is it?" He asked again, with a very gentle tone.
Bilbo swallowed once but then admitted, "I can't sleep… I think it's because of all the things that happened today, and this being a new place for me… Sorry." His tone was a whisper but Thorin heard him well. The distance between their faces was barely appropriate.
The sheets rustled as Thorin moved his hands. He opened them in a gesturing manner. "Come here, maybe cuddling will help you feel safer."
Bilbo blushed mad and was happy the room with no windows was dark enough for the other to not see his face. He was tempted to take the dwarf's offer, and without thinking about it too much he went with it.
Thorin's hand went under Bilbo's side and hugged his lower back when the other held his upper back and neck. Bilbo's own hands were trapped between their bodies but not in an uncomfortable way, they were quite small and slender after all. Thorin's hairy legs tickled Bilbo's but oh how warm the dwarf felt against him. Their bodies were in line and the hobbit's head lied on the King's shoulder and neck. He felt safe, as the dwarf had hoped, but the quickening heartbeat of the omega gave out the fact that Bilbo was getting excited. All the speak of the King being smitten by him at the party and the said man now pressed tightly around him and holding him close had Bilbo's head spinning.
The change in the hobbit's heartbeat and breathing rhythm had Thorin unsettled. All day had he been watching the other, unable to take his eyes off of him. Now he felt the small body next to him, pressed to him, getting excited for him. It was getting harder and harder to stop his hands from studying the other's body. The alcohol, however, was still eating away his sense of reason and at last, he gave in.
Bilbo arched his back at the touch of Thorin's warm hand moving up and down his back. Being an omega as he was, Bilbo smelled Thorin's excitement coming from the spot behind his ear. Bilbo's head still lied under the King's jaw and the smell was hitting him hard. He wanted Thorin. He wanted him closer, and he'd get what he wanted.
The hand on Bilbo's back was searching lower, experimenting the small one's bum and thighs. Thorin pushed on Bilbo so the hobbit now lied trapped under his body. Bilbo moaned, the dwarf had kissed his neck.
The kisses continued to travel up to his ear, back down his jaw and on the other side. Light yet heated kisses turned into occasional sucks and licks and Bilbo was far gone in the pleasure. Thorin's hands were now massaging the hobbit's butt, his hips humping down on Bilbo's.
Small hands took a hold of the dwarf's head and brought it up so their lips could finally meet. The kiss was sloppy; both of them inexperienced in the field but the emotion came across, the hunger for the other was evident. Thorin pulled his hips back enough for both of them to get out off their remaining clothing and the hobbit then spread his legs when the dwarf lied back on him. The two didn't wait long before connecting to each other in their growing heat.

The morning came with headache and ill stomach from the late night partying. Bilbo stretched his back but noticed the hands wrapped around his torso when he could barely move around. He opened his eyes but saw barely anything in the dark room. He was taken back by the situation; he was obviously pressed against a sleeping person who unmistakably smelled like Thorin. Bilbo kept his eyes open, trying to get them to adjust to the dark. He turned his head slowly from side to side in his confusion. Then the events of the previous night started pouring in his memory.
"Stop turning your head, your hair tickles me." Thorin sounded like he was still half asleep and true enough, he hadn't bothered to open his eyes when he'd woken up to Bilbo moving around in his arms.
"S-sorry." Bilbo whispered, but had to clear his voice before he was able to speak. He was blushing, and being pressed to Thorin's chest unsettled him greatly. Just where did they stand now in their relationship, the hobbit wondered. "Thorin-" "Bilbo-" They both began at the same time.
"Sorry, you go ahead and speak first." Bilbo said quickly, feeling relieved the other also had decided to break to silence. Thorin laughed out slightly and squeezed Bilbo tighter for a second. "Relax, Bilbo. I am no monster."
"I don't think of you as one."
"Of course, for if you did, I doubt you'd lie here with me?"
"I certainly wouldn't, Thorin." Bilbo smiled a little. Their conversation was pointless but it made him feel more at ease.
For a while, neither spoke anything. The silence wasn't awkward; they both were simply gathering their thoughts together and trying to think of a way to put them in a sentence. Bilbo felt Thorin's fingers gently run through his curly hair and finally, the older one broke the silence. "I feel like I need to apologize, Mr Baggings, for I had wished I could've courted you properly. One could say I'm disappointed in my own behaviour and am apologizing to you because you had to witness it. But it doesn't change the fact that my mind was set on courting you, in hope you'd agree to marry me. So, what I'm saying is-"At this point poor Thorin was quickly putting words after others in a hurrying manner and Bilbo cut him off. "You have nothing to apologize for. If anyone's, this is my fault." He said a bit amused.
Thorin sat straighter on the bed and looked down at Bilbo, his eyes now adjusted to the dark as much as to see Bilbo's silhouette. "I am one hundred per cent sure it was I who took you, and not the other way round." Thorin said cocking his brow.
The blunt way Thorin put it had Bilbo cough in surprise but he explained himself none the less. "We omegas are, well at the loss of a better word, weak against the smell of musk, which males smell strongly like when they're intoxicated. And last night I knew you'd been drinking and I still placed my nosed considerably close to your ear, so I got sucked into it. And we omegas tend to have a strong affect on males around us so it's hardly your fault you took my initiative." Out of breath and not quite sure what exactly had he just said, Bilbo waited for Thorin to comment.
The dwarf sifted on the bed, he turned to face the hobbit better. He opened his mouth to say something, but changing his mind, he closed it again. He sighed and leaned in to press his lips on Bilbo's. The kiss was gentle and returned after a brief moment of confusion. Pulling away Thorin told Bilbo. "I still wish you'd take my hand in marriage," He placed his hand on Bilbo's cheek and kissed his nose. "and I hope you didn't have to make the decision only because I've now marked you."
Frowning at Thorin's sad tone Bilbo assured him. "Believe me I've bitten everyone's nose who's tried to touch me without my consent. I choose to stay with you last night and I'm not gonna regret my decision!" The top it off, he placed a kiss on the dwarf's nose. The dark didn't prevent him from seeing the genuine smile spreading on Thorin's face and Bilbo kissed him again, only now on his lips. They didn't stop with that one kiss though.
"Should we get up for breakfast?" Bilbo asked after Thorin had showered him with too many kisses.
"Ahh, sure. Right after we sleep here for another hour or two. My head feels like it's gonna split open and my stomach feels weak." Thorin said and lied back down on his back, bringing Bilbo with him.
"As long as you won't throw up on me." Bilbo said while secretly being happy for the extra sleep since his hangover was still there also.
