So sorry to everyone who has been waiting for this one! I know it's taken so long but I hope it's worth the wait!

It was a normal day, all was well within the hobbit burrow that Kili and friends found themselves in.
"Hobbit, another round for all the dwarves!"
Kili proclaimed, earning cheers from all of his companions, and an exasperated sigh from Bilbo.
The dwarf was his usual self, rowdy and friendly. Unknown to him he wouldn't be for much longer. You see beside himself sat one of his most treasured and trusted companions. You.
Unfortunately, the long journey that had taken place just before this gathering had took its toll on you, and you found yourself feeling the grownup feelings slipping away. The familiar fog had settled over your brain and sure enough salty water began to brim your eyes.
Bam. Within a second all that hard work and effort had given way and you had regressed.
Kili, remained unaware of your change in state. Like the young dwarf he was all he currently could focus on was drinking and socialising.
And so here you are, terrified to say anything or move, lest someone senses your distress and figured out your secret.
"AND THIS ONE! I cannot count on five let alone two hands how many times they saved me!" Kili proclaimed, wrapping a comforting arm around your shoulder. You in turn pulled back, frightened by the sudden noise and touch. The dwarfs laughter suddenly died down as he turned to face you, greeted with unshed tears.
The lightbulb moment clicked in his head.
Who dare bring you such discomfort?
No, no one had upset you... you regressed.
Cue Kili suddenly standing up and yanking you out of your seat, but gently of course. He slung you over his shoulder, trying to get you out of the house in the least questionable way possible, and in his mind it looks like he is just playfully terrorising you. Before any of the others could say anything Kili muttered something about checking steel and then fwoosh,
He whisked you away at the speed of light.
"Oh my tiny fighter! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"
The burly man checked you up and down, knowing full well you wouldn't of had any injuries but his instincts took over, and all he could think of was your well being.
"I'm so sorry I didn't notice my pet..."
Was all you could muster, not wanting to keep him from his pals. You knew his friends meant the world to him and even your smaller self could not bare to make him part with them.
"No. Not without you, and not till I know you are okay. Fighters stick together."
And thus came his usual sign of affection with you, holding up a closed fist he waited for you to do the same. When you eventually did he placed his fist upon yours then grabbed your head by the nape of your neck, and he held his small one tightly, placing his forehead against yours.
"Fighters stick together..." you mustered out, opening your fist and slipping it into his hand.
Happily he took it and led you back into the hobbits home, where he kept watch of you throughout the night.
