Summary
Bilbo is a self-reliant hobbit thank you very much. He may not be as strong as Dori, or as intimidating as Dwalin, or even as clever a thief as Nori, but he did just fine on his own. At least he seemed to think so. But what did they expect from him right out of the gate? A wizard-strengthed hobbit? He knew he was not what they expected, or even wanted. Especially Thorin, and he did not need to be reminded of it with every hitch, every mistake in the road he made. And what is worse? The patronizing aid. Bofur especially being overly helpful, overly caring at times for him when all he wanted was to prove he didn't need their coddling. But what if it was a mistake on his part to jump to conclusions about Bofur's actions? He could just be friendly, he was friendly. One of the few he could say with certainty would miss him if he left. Not because he was their burglar, but because they were friends.
Bofur enjoyed the simple halfling's company. And as when most strangers meet, it was not all pleasantries and easy going. But they started getting along and he felt rather fond and protective. Then it grew. Well, one thing for it that was for sure. To court another, one must make all efforts to their safety and comfort.
