Sorry, I didn't see you there

Summary:

Fanart of the following scene: Bilbo and Thorin run into each other in the library – literally. Bilbo is there to pick up some guide books on parenting he desperately needs after finding out he's been appointed as guardian to his orphaned cousin and they've had a somewhat bumby beginning. As he’s turning around, he walks right into Thorin.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Thorin and Bilbo in a dance-like dip pose.

Bilbo barely managed to let out a surprised “oof” before the books fell out of his hands, and he lost his balance. Despite his arms waving furiously through the air, he started to tip backwards. Before he could land on his arse, however, a pair of arms wrapped around his back and pulled him snug to a surprisingly comfortable chest. 

“Oh, um,” Bilbo said as he looked up into the startlingly blue eyes, his breath hitching just a little at the sight. 

“Er,” Thorin answered, returning his stare. 

“Sorry, I didn't see you there.”

Notes:

For the wonderful Lesbian_aunt, who writes so very entertaining and heartwrenching stories and is so much fun to be around. It was such a pleasure to get to draw Bilbo and Thorin's run-in in the library and getting glimpses of the story to come!
