Summary: On a sleepless night, Thorin stays up, hoping not to bother anyone. Bilbo notices him, and decides to have a chat with him, and Thorin reveals to him one his most dearest secrets.

The holidays are here, and Bilbo and Thorin are hosting a fun dinner party for the boys, which involves them wearing ugly holiday jumpers. And for New Year's, they decide to just spend it alone together. Heavy on fluff, and some humor. Some implied naughtiness in later chapters.

The battle on the field may have been over, but the battle within Bilbo would not end there. There is one last thing that he must do. **This is the first fanfic I have written in almost a year, so please excuse any mistakes.
