Evangeline was still mad st her uncle even as night fell and they were settling down. Even as she sat beside Fili, her head resting on his shoulder, she glared st her uncle.

She couldn't believe that he said that about her, and even if he didn't mean it like that, he shouldn't have said it. Why did he think that she would do something stupid? And even if Fili and herself were intimate, it wouldn't have been any of his business.

"Stare at him any harder and you'll make his head explode." Eva ignored Kili's unwelcome comment by continuing to stare at her uncle.

"I'm sure he's sorry." Eva finally turned away from her uncle and faced Fili. She looked up into his warm blue eyes and smiled softly.

"I love you." She leaned up and pressed her lips to his in a soft, gentle kiss. She felt his hands move to her cheeks where he stroked the soft, supple skin.

"I love you too, amrâlimê." She sighed against his lips as he pulled her closer.

Fili was already such a huge part of her life, and she loved him with her whole heart. She couldn't imagine losing the blonde prince and hoped and prayed that it would never come to pass.

The very idea of losing Fili, to anything, made her heart feel like it would break. Anytime Eva thought about Fili not being in her life, she felt sick to her stomach. Her stomach would churn and she would feel like bile was rising in her throat.

"Please stop. There are others who don't want to see you two attached at the mouth." Eva pulled away and looked away shyly. She could feel Fili's body shake with laughter, and while she was embarrassed, it made her smile.

"Just wait until you have someone to kiss, Kili." Eva placed her hand on her mouth and yawned loudly. She groaned and repositioned herself in Fili hold until she was halfway on his lap, with her head on his chest.

"Are you tired?" Eva nodded and yawned once more before Fili shifted her and placed her on the bed roll beside him.

He pulled the blanket around her shoulders and placed a kiss to her temples. His fingers ran through her curly hair, working any knots out.

"Good night, ghivashel."

Fili couldn't help but stare at her. It was just something he couldn't avoid. Every time she moved, every little thing, caught his eye. It was like the first time he saw her every time he saw her.

That night when they first went to the Shire, when the door opened and he saw her, he was a goner. He wasn't sure if it was the moment their eyes met, or the moment he heard her sweet, delicate voice, but something drew him to her and kept him locked there.

And when they were on their journey, all their late night talks and secret glances, made Fili fall hard and fast. He cared about her and wanted to take care of her with his whole being.

When they had been taken by the trolls, when she hit her head and blacked out, was horrible for him. He couldn't believe that she had gotten hurt when he was supposed to protect her.

That's all he had to do was protect her and he felt like he had failed. But when she came to, and felt better, she didn't blame him. She wasn't angry with him, in fact she hadn't gotten angry, really angry, with him yet.

"I think you may be under her spell, Fee." Kili would and could joke as much as he wanted, Fili didn't give a damn. He just cared about his beautiful little hobbit. All he cared about was her safety.

"I may be under her spell, but I think you may be jealous, Kee." If the roles were reversed, Fili would've felt a pang of jealousy. For a dwarf to find their One was amazing. It truly was a spectacular event as there were few darrowdams, and if there were more, a lot of dwrves wished to mine anyway.

"She's really something special." Fili didn't need to be told that, he knew. Evangeline was more than special. She was everything.

"I'm going to marry her, Kili. One day I'll marry her." Fili brushed her curls behind her ear. He continued to run his fingers down the shell of he ear, smiling as she squirmed in her sleep.

"She'll make a wonderful wife. And amad will love her." Fili kept his eyes on Eva, even as Kili was speaking. He couldn't help it, he really couldn't.

It didn't matter where they went, or how much they would go through, Fili would love her for the rest of his life. He would never stop worrying or caring about her. She would be, and will be, his whole world.

"Rest for the night. We leave tomorrow." Fili stretched out his own bed roll beside hers and lay upon it. He watched his brother move his bed roll a few feet over, giving them some more privacy.

"Thanks, Kee." Fili lay beside her, one hand under his head and the other rested on her waist. Even though she was sleeping, and they were safe, he still was cautious.

"Go to sleep Fili. We're fine here."

Fili stirred in the middle of the night and stretched his arm out, intending on pulling Eva to his side. As he stretched out and met nothing but air, Fili shot up on his bed roll and looked Elrond.

"Eva? Evangeline?" Fili tried to be as quiet as possible, but he was getting worried and panicky.

"Eva!" As his panic grew, so did his anxiety. Fili grit his teeth and grabbed a few of his knives and stood. He made his way away from the corner they were sleeping in and to the middle of the house.

"Eva?" He called out for her and once more, got no answer. Just as Fili turned to walk back, her slight form caught his eye.

"Uncle?" Eva was sitting beside his uncle, her head on his shoulder and a blanket wrapped tightly around her body.

"She couldn't sleep and didn't want to wake you. I was on watch and she came to talk to me. She fell asleep not too long ago." Fili walked closer and slowly lifted her into his arms, careful not to jostle her too much.

"Thank you uncle. For keeping her warm." Fili tightened his grip on his One, relieved to have her back in his arms.

"She's your One. She's family, Fili." Fili grinned at his uncles approval and quickly excused himself with a nod and s goodnight.

Fili walked carefully back to their bed rolls and cautiously and tactfully set her down. Fili got her situated before he lay behind her and wrapped an arm around her waist. He pulled her close to his body and placed a kiss to the back of her neck.

"I love you Evangeline Took."
