This imagine was requested by @Lexxidoe and was based on this imagine from imaginexhobbit: Imagine Bilbo asking Fili and Kili advice on how to court you.

It was quite amusing to watch. The small hobbit was walking back and forth to were the two youngest Durin's were seated. They themselves were also watching the little men coming towards them and then walking away again. Doing nothing to help. It was apparent to everyone that he wanted to ask something. For some reason however, he wasn't sure if he could or should ask the two brothes. You couldn't blame him. As a dwarf yourself you had met the brothers before and knew what they could be like when they were at their worst. 'Master Baggins, can you finally decide whether you will talk to my nephews or no?' Thorin's voice thundered through the calmness of the forest.

Poor little fellow. Now he was startled because the King couldn't take his pacing forth and thro anymore. Bilbo finally found the courage to walk up to the brothers and ask them what he had wanted to ask them all along. You decided you weren't going to eavesdrop this time. The little men had finally did what he wanted to do in the first place and you weren't going to listen to his private conversations. Not after the first time he caught you. So instead you sharpened your axes.

'Can we help you master Baggins?' Kili mused. Both brothers were smoking their pipes, sharing secret smiles with each other. 'Well, I... you see I was thinking... maybe you could... that is... uhm... yes' Bilbo struggled to form full sentences. Fili and Kili exchanged amused glances. 'I'm sorry, I didn't quite fetch that, did we, Kili?' 'No brother, I didn't hear our burglar correctly either.' Both brothers were looking up at him with innocent faces. 'There is this lass... maybe you would be so kind... to tell me... Tell me what? I... I just... Tell me something about...' Bilbo didn't finish his sentence but instead looked at you. Fili followed his eyes and understood what Bilbo tried to ask them. 'You want us to tell you how to court (y/n)?' he asked, trying to help the poor hobbit out a bit.

Bilbo's cheeks were flushed and he looked down at his feet. 'Yes, how do I... can I even court her?' he asked. Kili smiled brightly at him. 'Aye, you can court her. I can't tell you how other dwarves are going to react but you can always ask her.' Bilbo turned white at that remark. 'What do you mean?' Fili shrugged. 'Well, dwarves are very protective over their own people, especially their woman. Many of our kind won't like it if a hobbit is courting one of our own. There may be axes involved in the end.' Helpful Fili had disappeared in the blink of an eye. Bilbo was looking at the Durin brothers with his mouth wide open. The brothers snickered and the hobbit managed to get himself together.

'I do not care. If she happens to love me in return and I love her for the rest of my life, and I am sure I will, then nothing should be in our way' he said, quite sure of himself. Kili jumped up and patted the man on the back, almost knocking him over. Instead he pushed him down by the shoulder so that he was now sitting on a log across from him and Fili. 'We will tell you all about dwarf courting our dear friend' Kili said. 'Aye, you will walk away an enlightened hobbit' Fili added. Bilbo seemed ready to leave at that point, no sure if he made the right decision when Thorin had given him two options. 'First, you need to kill the dragon' Fili began. Bilbo's face turned as white as a blanket. 'P-pardon me?' 'Well, you need to show her you can provide for her. And you already have to steal something from Smaug, why not kill him immediately if you are there?' Kili asked matter of factly.

'Let's not waste our time over such small details' Fili interjected before Bilbo could say anything else. 'Then you should braid her hair. But don't ruïn her hair or Thorin and Dwalin will chasing you around until you get it right' Fili explained. 'Why?' Bilbo managed to ask. Kili frowned. 'You have been traveling with us for many months now, and you are telling me you still don't know how important our hair is to us?' Kili asked, his nose wrinkled. 'Of course I do, I'm sorry for that question. Please, continue.' Kili showed him one more confused look before he continued. 'The next step you can do already. You have to protect her with your own body.' 'Aye, next time we are attacked by orc's you should put yourself in front of her to protect her. It is something you need to do or she can end the courtship' Fili explained.

Bilbo was trying to remember everything but the brother's didn't pick up on this. 'Then you will need to show (y/n) you trust her.' 'And don't forget to sing her a song!' 'Aye, a song that was created by you and you alone.' 'Otherwise it doesn't really count.' 'No, it doesn't.' 'Is it all clear to you up until this point master Boggins?' Kili asked kindly. Just as Bilbo wanted to point out that the brunette got his last name wrong, again, they continued on again. 'I already told you about the trust step, and the next step is...' Kili started but got lost at the end. 'What was the last one brother?' Fili straightened his back and looked smug. 'First Bilbo will need to create a gift for (y/n) and then he will need to show her he respects her. Then she needs to create a gift for him and we will all have the talk and then he will be a part of the Durin line.'

'In one way or another' Kili said, winking at the poor little hobbit. 'You moved a bit too fast, can you repeat that?' Bilbo asked. The two brothers smiled at each other and got up. They both patted him on one shoulder and walked away. 'You will do great Bilbo, we're sure of it.' Bilbo was left to his own thoughts and Thorin rolled his eyes. He had followed everything they had told the hobbit and knew that he had to explain everything to the hobbit so that he would understand. The brothers passed you as they left and both smiled at you. 'Did you frightend our little friend?' you asked, not looking up from your weapons. 'We did nothing but help him (y/n)' Kili quickly responded. That got your attention. They quickly left, afraid to get familair with your torture methods. Across the camp, you noticed Thorin moving to Bilbo. A jealous feeling built up in your stomache. This was not alright with you.
