A/N: Drabble fill for the following hobbit-kink prompt:

"'He stole some bread to save his sister's son.' That's a line from Valjean's Confession in Les Mis. I saw it and when Valjean said "sister's son" I thought of Fili and Kili. So that's the prompt: Thorin steals bread to save his sister's son. Whether he gets caught like in Les Mis or not is up to filler."

The King under the Mountain is afraid, afraid of what he's tempted to do.

The loaf of bread lies on the counter, just within reach. The baker snores loudly and it would be so temptingly easy.

He thinks of his nephews—of Fili, valiantly giving his portion to Kili, and Kili crying from hunger—and he is no longer afraid.

He looks around quickly, no one sees him, and the baker still sleeps soundly.

Quick as he wields his sword, Thorin reaches for the loaf of bread, and hides it beneath his shirt.

And it's so easy it scares him.

The King under the Mountain has become a thief.
