Hearts Entwined

Mine

Arthur:

That night was the night I made Merlin mine. He was mine, I was his. And I liked it that way.

I woke up to Merlin standing above me at my side of the bed smiling. "Good morning Arthur. Breakfast is here, also I've done your armory, laundry, and polished your boots."  I stared at him dully. "What- what time is it?" I asked groggily. "11. I let you sleep in today, I felt like you needed it."

I smiled at my boyfriend, and sat up to see him staring back at me with an ear to ear smile. "Also Arthur, you need to get ready, you have a meeting with King Orion. He wants to talk about the crop share." "Who- who is King Orion?" I asked very confused. "King from the far  east, he and your father had a crop share, but now since your king you must sign the peace treaty that allows the crop share to happen." Merlin responded.

I nodded, and Merlin helped me get ready, soon enough we were in the dining hall, sitting beside each other while listening to the seldom king speak of he and my father's old times together.

Merlin grabbed my hand from underneath the table, and I smiled, as did he.

After a while, King Orion had looked at Merlin and said: "You, servant boy! Fetch me some wine." That made my gut wrench, how dare this asshole talk to Merlin that way?

Merlin looked at me, and I nodded, so he got up and fetched the old bastard some wine.

Pouring the man some wine, he accidentally spilled some, which really pissed him off. King Orion had slapped Merlin across the face roughly. That's when I lost it. Before I knew it, I had drawn my sword, and pointed it at his throat. "You touch what's mine again, and I will personally see to it that you are executed in the most horrid, and gruesome way." My eyes burned through him, he hurt my Merlin, he hurt my boyfriend, he hurt what was mine..and for that he'd pay dearly.

"K-king Arthur...he's j-just a serving boy.." He said trying to justify himself. "No. He. Is. Mine. Get out." I said harshly, angerly, and demanding. "Excuse me?" "I said get the fuck out of my sight. Or I will kill you where you stand."

He had left, and after a minute of calming myself down, I looked at Merlin. "My love, are you alright?" I said holding his face, pointing it up so he can see mine.

"Yes darling. I'm fine."
"If anyone ever touches you like this again..I will kill them for hurting what is mine.."
