Arthur Pendragon [1]

The first thing Aurora felt when she awoke was his arms around her waist, holding her in place so her back was practically pressed against his chest. She smiled to herself, her eyes opening slightly to see the sunlight pouring into their room. She knew that they should get up, that Merlin would come in sooner or later to get them, but Aurora simply couldn't resist closing her eyes and hiding her face deeper into her pillow, fully aware that her husband was awake, due to being able to feel his heart against her back. He had been awake a bit longer than she had, she was sure.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of familiar lips at her earlobe and Aurora shivered, turning so her own green eyes met the gorgeous blue gaze of the man she adored beyond anything. She opened her mouth to ask how long he had been awake, as he knew she hated it when he watched her sleep, but his lips caught hers in a kiss before she could. She shifted onto her back, his hand that was previously wrapped around her instead falling to her hip, and she allowed her fingers to get lost in his hair. It wasn't often that they had time to themselves in the morning, so she was glad to finally have some. They were making the most of it.

She felt her leg lift to entangle with his, her hands straying from his hair to his chest until they were hovering beneath the baggy shirt he had worn to bed. Aurora could feel his skin against her fingertips and she smirked as he groaned, his teeth biting her bottom lip before he attached them to her neck, trailing his lips down to her collarbone. He hovered above her, using his elbows to shift his weight so he wasn't crushing her. Aurora's eyes rolled to the back of her head as she started to get lost in him....until of of course...

"Morning! Oh, Sorry!"

Arthur pulled himself away from her, groaning loudly as he fell beside her onto the bed. "Merlin!"

The sheepish, blue eyed boy Aurora had known all her life tried to hide the disgusted laugh that still managed to escape his lips. He ignored her chuckle, his expression changing as he continued on, starting to gather Arthur's abandoned clothes across the room. It wasn't anything that happened last night (since Arthur had been training with the Knights and Elijah and thus, too tired, as she was with Amara) but simply because Arthur was rather lazy. He wasn't with the Kingdom, with her or their children. It was only because, she thought, he enjoyed the fact that he could make Merlin's life harder than it needed to be.

"I told you to not come in until Mara was awake." Arthur sat up, resting his elbows against the mattress, but she was now awake and decided to make the most of the day She got up and proceeded to choose the dress she would wear for the day.

Merlin smirked knowingly, looking to her husband, his master and his surrogate brother, though Arthur would do anything to deny that he felt the same for his servant. "She already is. She started crying for Rory, but Gwen managed to calm her."

Aurora was ever so thankful for her friend, who had taken up the role of nanny and babysitter since she was fully aware of her duties as Queen of Camelot, and Arthur's even more stressful role as King. Don't get her wrong, Aurora adored her children, but having them so far apart in ages was a little bit of a kick back, though Elijah enjoyed helping her with his sister, now that he was old enough to be able to, that is.

"Is Lancelot on duty?" Rory asked her friend as she ventured behind the changing screen, beginning to put some fresh clothing. The dress she had chosen was fairly simple and in no need of any lacing, as she was a simple woman and liked simple things. Aurora was a peasant before marrying Arthur, a servant, and so she wasn't used to such luxuries even after being his wife for almost fourteen years.

God...That made her feel old.

"He was, though I think he's with the Knights in the training grounds at the moment." She heard Merlin say. She lifted her head in time to see the shirt Arthur had over the changing screen being pulled off, so she knew Merlin was helping her husband get dressed.
