Warning- smut. Top Arthur, bottom merlin
Arthurs p.o.v
Ruling camilot has been easier now more then ever. This is because I have merlin by my side. I was never going to make him a knight but the others said he needed training so i did.
I knighted him a few weeks before I made him my consort and ever since it feels like I can actually handle being king.
Morgana and I talk a lot specially since she is with Leon my best and oldest friend while I am with merlin who can understand merlin's situation.
She is the one who reminded me valentines day was coming. I had forgotten with all of my kingly duties so when I got the moment I started to plan
I wanted to make it special for merlin since it would be our first valentines together.
Sure last valentines i sent flowers to merlins room but i forgot to sign the stupid letter so merlin had thought he had some secret admirer.
I am determined to make it perfect this time. I've spent weeks getting flowers and planning a trip.
I didn't tell merlin anything about it wanting to make it a suprise. We are to leave at first light so I went to sleep and sent merlin to bed early.
Merlin's p.o.v
Valintines day is coming and I thought me and Arthur would do something but he hasn't said a single thing about the holiday. I wanted to ask but he seemed so busy that I barely got to say goodnight most nights.
Now it is only two days away and I am sure Arthur forgot or just doesn't care. It's probably the latter with the fact everyone in the castle can't stop talking about their plans for the holiday.
I try not to let the fact I'm disappointed show on my face as I listen to the kitchen staff talk about their lovers and what they are doing or got.
Sure he could say he had plans and lie but he just didn't have the effort to even try and lie. Giaus said that Arthur might just be too busy to celebrate but I can't help the way my heart sinks
Valintines day is tomorrow and I am pissed. I haven't gotten anything from Arthur and I had gotten him a gift. All I got was told we are going on a trip. Is he serious? A trip on valintines day?
I of course still helped Arthur into clothes and into bed. Even though he sent me away early and didn't even say anything. Sure since we told eachother we love eachother we haven't said it again but that can't mean anything right?
As I get to my room I look at the item I got Arthur and dicided to pack it anyway. Of course I'm not going to Just keep it.
Times like these make me wish everyone knew about us then I could yell and demand an answer infront of everyone so he couldn't change the subject or run off.
All night I felt like I was never going to sleep and once I did I felt restless.
The next morning I was up and ready to go before even Arthur was supposed to be awake. I went to wake him and found him up and dressed all by himself
I know usually I would feel relieved i don't have to help but right now all I can feel is worry. What if Arthur regrets admiting we love eachother? what if he doesn't need me anymore? What if this trip is to tell me he no longer loves me?
As my thoughts spiral Arthur spoke. I barely heard him say it was time to leave. I felt like my throat is dry and can't even speak. All I do is nod and follow him out to the horses.
The ride was long and quiet everything I tried to ask about the mission was simply answered with Arthur saying you'll see like that makes it any better.
