Chapter Text
Thorin Oakenshield paced back and forth fuming with anger.
"Come on, Thorin, do it for me as a favor!"
"Interview? I have no experience in such things! I am not gonna do it!"
Fili looked at him pleadingly with his reddened brown eyes.
"I'm not going to find any chance like that! People like him do not give many opportunities. If I don't go today, I will lose my chance of interviewing him forever!"
Thorin rolled his eyes to his sick roommate and sighed .
"You're hopeless" he finally said.
He stared blankly for a moment
" Who is he, anyway? Why is he so important?"
"So that means you will do it?!" said Fili with a happy gleam in his eyes. "I will own you forever!"
Thorin grunted and said nothing. Fili threw him his briefcase.
'All the things you will need are inside. Now go and make me proud, you grumpy son of a bitch!"
Thorin was pushed out of his apartment with surprising force for someone so fragile-looking. He looked at the door for a moment, sighed again and left to meet his fate, only he didn't know it yet.
Thorin's old-looking car somehow managed to get him there on time. He parked and quickly rushed into the trementously tall building without even paying attention to its breathtaking architecture. He rushed in and quickly lead himself towards the blond secretary who was eyeing him behind his mahogany desk.
''Ehm...I have an appointment with..''
...he paused nervously as he realised that the name of the mystery man that he was going to interview was unknown to him.Damn it Fili you are going to pay for this. Thorin thought angrily and looked helplessly at the assistant.He nodded emotionlessly , talking for a moment to his phone allowing Thorin to stare at his elvish beauty undisturbed.He had long elvish ears, his silken hair was tied into elaborate braids,his eyes a penetrating icy blue. His unsmiling mouth was beautifully shaped and his voice was blunt matching his expression perfectly.His unsettling beauty made Thorin feel more awkward and unfitting to this place.
''Mr. Greenleaf will see you now.''
The young elf said evenly,emerging from the phone.
'' Take the elevator to the last floor and enter the first door on your left.You don't need to knock the door. Just go in.''
Thorin gulped,took a breath to gather his courage and following the secretary's instruction he managed to find the door.Black and wide it was and to Thorin it looked like a gate which lead to another world . Hell, probably , Thorin thought and smiled sarcastically Here goes nothing and made his way to the door.He courageously stepped on the threshold. Mr. Greenleaf had his back turned on him staring out of the window. The first thing Thorin saw was a waterfall of platinum blond hair .Thorin coughed gently in order to make his appearance known.The tall figure turned around gracefully. Thorin gapsed as he was striken by the beauty of the elf.His hair was impossibly long and was shining like the morning sunlight,his cat-like crystal blue eyes were bright with curiosity and intelligence.
''You were late, mister...'' the deep velvety voice send tremors down Thorin's spine.
''Thorin'' he said. ''My name is Thorin Oakenshield.''
The mirage's eyes shined with amusement
''Thranduil Greenleaf...at your service"
