Thorin allowed Bilbo to snuggle in closer to him, and he rested both of his own hands on the hobbit's hips. This was certainly closer than Thorin would have ever allowed anyone else to get to him, but Bilbo was different. Thorin enjoyed it when Bilbo was in his arms, and he didn't feel caged in or uncomfortable in any other way. Somehow it just felt natural, and he knew that it was something that he would long for all of his remaining days.
"I have no intention of leaving you here, so let us both hope we can live out on our days here together" he replied, knowing that it was the very thing he had already been hoping for. "I love you as well" he added, wanting to make sure that Bilbo knew of his feelings.
