Hearts Entwined

What are we? (pt 2)

Merlin:

I went straight to Morgana's chambers, and knocked before she told me to enter.

"Merlin, what a lovely visit." I looked down, and nodded. "Come sit." I did as I was told, and sat at the foot of her bed. "My lady, may I ask what this is about?" She nodded and proceeded to tell me about the events last night, and how they lead up to this moment; giving a lecture of her support. And of course I was grateful.

"Thank you for the support my lady." I said giving her a smile, she gave me a smile back. "Merlin, what are you and Arthur?" I sat there dumbfounded by the question. "I-..I don't know.." She took my answer as a invitation to continue the questions. "Very well. What do you want to be with Arthur?" Again I was fumbled, and I hesitated before answering. "I want to be his whole life- I want to be his."

"His what?"
"His everything."
"Are you in love with Arthur?"
"Yes."
"How much?"
"Madly.."

She sent me on my way back to Arthur, and I knocked on the door hearing a aggravated: "Come in!" I stepped inside. "I can come back later if you'd like?" He looked up and smiled. "Oh no Merlin, please come in."

I walked over to him, and stood before him, while he stood by his window. "Something on your mind Arthur?" I asked with a hint of worry in my voice. "My father..he-" Tears started to pour from his eyes, and all I knew to do was hug him, I hugged him tight and warm, giving him words of comfort, and peace.

After a while, I sat him down, and told him to sleep. That I'd be back tomorrow to check back up on him, but before I left he grabbed my arm and stopped me. "Merlin.. will you sleep in here tonight?" I smiled, and nodded, taking off my boots I sat down next to him. He pulled me into his arms and layed down, my head under his chin, I could his heart beat.

"Merlin?"
"Yes?"
"Will you be my boyfriend?"
"Yes Arthur. Yes."
