YESSSSS!! MORE BAGGINSHIELDDDD!!
“Thorin, how much further?” Bilbo huffed.
The king merely chuckled as he gave his Consort’s hand a quick squeeze. 
“Just a little bit more.”
“You know when you told me that you had a surprise, I didn’t realize it came with a two mile hike through the underbelly of the city.”
Thorin stopped suddenly, causing Bilbo to run into his back in the low light of the cavern crystals. Turning slightly towards Bilbo, he let his fingers trace Bilbo’s jaw, managing to catch the hobbit’s breath.
“Forgive me, Mudùmel (comfort of all comforts). Perhaps we should turn back to journey another day?”
Bilbo snorted, even as he leaned into his husband’s touch. He wished his eyes worked better to be able to work out the smirk he was certain graced Thorin’s face.
“I traveled halfway across Arda after you. There is no distance too great. Now, enough of your teasing. What is this surprise?”
Thorin kissed the end of his nose before taking both of his hands in his own, walking backwards as he led Bilbo out of the tunnel. Natural light spilled from above, temporarily blinding Bilbo. Once he blinked away the spots though, he was able to see where it was Thorin brought him. He could only gasp in delight. 
It was an underground oasis. A hole at the top of the cavern spilling sunlight into the space lighting up the small stream that fed into a four foot waterfall, and next to it was a stunning old willow tree nestled in a bed of moss. It was like something out of a dream.
“Thorin, this is beautiful.” Bilbo gasped in delight. “How did you find such a place?”
Thorin’s smile turned melancholy as he pulled Bilbo further into the cavern.
“Frerin and I stumbled upon it in our youth when we were escaping our lessons.”
“You were quite the troublemaker, weren’t you?.” Bilbo teased.
“Well, we weren’t terrorizing the local squirrels and birds.” Thorin raised an eyebrow, grinning at Bilbo’s scowl.
“I never should have let Siggy tell you that story.” 
Thorin threw his head back, his laughter echoing against the cavern walls. Bilbo swatted him lightly on the arm before moving further towards the tree. The cool, short grass felt good against his toes, and when he leaned his head back it was like he could feel the sun warming him straight through to his bones. A pair of arms slid around his waist.
“Do you like it, lukhudel (light of all lights)?” Thorin mumbled into his neck.
“I think it’s wonderful.” Bilbo mused, turning to meet Thorin’s lips with his own as he wrapped his arms around Thorin’s to keep them in place. “Thank you for sharing this with me.”
“I knew there was no one who would appreciate it more.”
