LOTR/Hobbit Imagines

Kíli - Stranger Danger

You were in danger and the first one you called was him. His chest swelled at the thought.

He ran through the streets and reached your building in record time. Taking the stairs two at a time he bolted to the second floor. He stood in front of your door, panting like crazy.

From inside the apartment he could hear shouting and the clattering of kitchenware being thrown around. He took the plate with the house number and turned it sideways, so he could take the spare key out of the hole in the wall.

He'd made fun of you when you had shown him your hiding spot, but now he praised whoever was in charge up there that you had.

When he entered the apartment, he closed the door and quickly scanned the hallway and living room.

You were in your kitchen, he heard you yelling.

"Take this!"

The sound of a plate being thrown to the ground echoed through the apartment.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"

A chair fell over, and Kíli could hear you whimpering in fear.

He looked around for something he could use as a weapon. Grabbing a small bronze statue, he silently walked towards the open kitchen door.

"Get away from her!" he yelled, raising the statue above his head, ready to throw it at whoever was threatening you.

He widened his eyes at the sight before him.

Several chairs were toppled over, there were shards scattered on the floor and some other various kitchen items you'd clearly used as ammo. And then there was you, crouched down on your kitchen table.

But to his surprise you were alone.

"Kíli? Oh thank God you're here," you sighed in relief.

He lowered the statue, slowly walking towards the table.

"Where did he go?" he asked you, still clutching the statue.

You pointed towards your stove. "There!"

He looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Come again?"

At that moment, a huge wolf spider crawled from underneath the stove and made his way to the kitchen door.

You screamed. "Kill it! KILL IT!"

When Kíli realized you were talking about a spider all along, he roared with laughter.

"Don't you dare laugh at me, Kíli! Please just kill the damn thi-aaaaaah!"

You screamed again when the wolf spider decided to go in the direction of the kitchen table. Kíli took a glass out of the cupboard and used it to catch the spider. He went to the living room and took a magazine, shoved it under the glass and took the spider outside to set it free.

When he returned to the kitchen, he took your hand and helped you get off the table.

"It's gone now, you're safe," he smirked.

"Don't look at me like that. You've seen it yourself, he was huge!"

"First of all, it's an 'it', not a 'he'-"

"You don't know that," you interrupted him.

"Let me finish," he continued, picking up the chairs and he pushed at your shoulders to make you sit down. "Secondly, don't you ever scare me like that again okay?"

"Scare you? I thought I was the one being scared?"

"I thought your ex or some other criminal had broken into your home. You really made it sound like that, Y/N..." Kíli rubbed his face with his hands. "God, I was so worried."

"You were worried about me?" you repeated, eyes wide.

"Of course I was, you're my friend aren't you?"

Kíli noticed your cheeks flush. You looked adorable.

"Yeah... friends. Of course!" you murmured softly.

"Friends come to each other's rescue," he smiled, flexing his muscles.

"Ah yes, my knight in shining armor... but without the armor." You rolled your eyes. "So, since you came all the way here and acted all heroic, I need to thank you with... pizza?"

"Only if we're watching a movie. My choice!"

"Deal!"

You got up from your chair and ordered two pizzas.

When you sat together on the couch half an hour later, with your pizza between you, you leaned towards Kíli and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.

Kíli immediately went red, his hand brushing over the spot where you kissed him.

"What was that for?"

Not that he complained, but he didn't want to read too much into it.

"Saving me," you answered, eyes locked on the tv screen.

"Anytime Y/N..." He rubbed his cheek softly, the place where you kissed him still tingling. "Anytime..."
