↳˳⸙;; ❝ BONUS CHAPTER ᵕ̈ ೫˚∗:

Yawns escaped from both kids,as the women with a warm smile on her face,looking at both her son and daughter,sitting at a chair and closing the book in her hands before she asked,

"Tired?"

They nod,implying as a yes.She chuckled.while tugging both her beloved ones in their perspective beds.Her husband who leaned at the door frame,smiled upon his wife and childrens,he loved to see them like this.Moreover,longing for it to happened,it's like a dream and a wish come true,

"Mother?",the daughter asked.

"Yea?"

"Who is your favourites among the F7,asides Father?"

Her husband gave his wife an unknowing look before the wife shrugged,

"I don't know,everyone is actually my favs though...",she replied while placing the book to where it belonged.

"Oh,I thought you're gonna said uncle Hans though",she added,"I also kinda love it,you and uncle Hans made a cute couple!"

The husband pouts,
"Hey,how about me?Your own father?As far as I know that I'm the best match for your mother...well,every girl and your mother.But still,your mother"

"Ahhhh,but I like Hans and mother more",she bluntly stated,"But I love my dad more",she smiled.

Merlin chuckled softly yet melodic enough as he leaned in and kissed his childrens forehead as a goodnight kiss,

"i know...And I wouldn't want anything to trade for the life I now have happily lived in...",He spoke as he tucked them suit,"Now go to sleep okay?Its getting late..."

Both of the childrens nod at their father's words as they mumbled a tired goodnight and I love you's leaving both of you together as you walked out after closing the lights.As you closed the door,he pulls you to a warm and gentle embrace,nuzzling his head near your neck and chin on your shoulder as he let out a small sigh in happiness and awe,

"I'm happy that I get to have this life and lovely family with you...",He spoke as he pulled away and caressed your cheek which you replied with him a small smile as you spoke,

"i'm happy I get to spend my time with you and live with our childrens...I love you..",You hugged him close as if he was your only lifeline which he gladly returns it as he planted a small soft kiss on the crown of your head.

"i love you more,Honey",He replied with a soft and small smile as he rubbed at the small of your back in comfort and reassurance while his other hand seeks for yours,bringing your right hand towards his lips as he placed a gentle kiss on to the wedding ring on your finger along with your knuckles,"I love you more than anything..."

[End]

"And done!!!!!",She squealed as she fist bumped to the air,standing from her chair before she realized the prying eyes glaring at her figure .

Her eyes widened as she closed her mouth in both embarassment and sheepishly feeling flustered at the awkward situation she's in until her co-worker spoke,

"For the last time [Y/N],please focus on your tasks/assignments,you don't want the boss to know you're slacking off writing a stupid fanfic you know...",She sighed.

[Y/N] frowned and huffed at her co-workers words,

"Its not stupid when its a priviledge to finally blurting all of my creative brain and ideas to this fanfic.Its a masterpiece for my fantasies came tru-"

"[Y/N]"

She felt her body tensed as she recognized that voice.Her boss.

[TIMESKIP]

She shifted at the place she stood infront of the CEO's desk,Merlin...

"So,you wrote fanfic about me huh...",He stated as his brown orbs looking at her as he studied her facial expression.

"Wait!I can explain-"

He chuckled at her flustered state as he waved a dismissive hand towards her,

"Its alright,its not like you're the first honestly..."

She looked stunned at his words.[Y/N] blinked, stunned at her boss's response.

"Wait... Not the first? Are you saying other employees have written fanfics about you too?"

Merlin smirked, leaning back in his chair with an amused glint in his eyes. "I don’t mind a little creativity around here, as long as it doesn’t interfere with work. Although, I admit I never expected such a... romantic plot." He held up the pages she’d forgotten to close on her screen, raising an eyebrow. "In fact, I had no idea you saw me as a family man in your... fantasies."

Her cheeks flushed. Why did he have to read the whole thing? She stammered, "I... I mean, it’s just... You know, creative freedom. It doesn’t mean anything!"

He chuckled softly, resting his elbows on the desk and folding his hands. "Doesn’t it?" he asked, his gaze holding hers steadily. "To write something that is detailed, it must mean something to you."

She couldn’t believe he was this composed about it. What’s going on here? “It’s just a story,” she insisted, folding her arms in a poor attempt at self-defense. "Just for fun.”

He tilted his head slightly, amusement still dancing in his eyes. "Would you mind if I made an edit?"

She blinked in surprise. "What? An edit?"

"Well, just a suggestion." He picked up a pen, twirling it between his fingers, a playful smile tugging at his lips. "What if the husband in the story didn’t wait until the kids were asleep to share his feelings? What if he... I don’t know, made them known a little sooner?”

[Y/N] felt her face heating up again, her heart thudding. "You're... you’re saying you want to rewrite my fanfiction?"

“More like a collaboration,” he said, leaning forward. "How about it?"

His words caught her off guard, but an unexpected thrill coursed through her. This was definitely not how she'd pictured the day going when she started writing the fanfic. Taking a deep breath, she mustered her courage and nodded. "Sure. Let’s see what you’ve got, boss."

His eyes lit up at the challenge. “Oh, I think we’re about to write something very memorable.”

[END!]

[Y/N] got Merlined indeed
