Merthur: I Love You Part 2

A/N

I decided that I didn't like where I left off with the last one so I wrote a part 2. Sorry that it is so late, I have been in South America for the past 3 weeks. Also thank you all for the reads and the votes especially on my last Merthur fic. P.S. Sorry for the POV switches. Most of this was written on the plane to Miami from Peru at 2 am. Evan

Arthur's POV

"Merlin. I love you." I couldn't believe the words that just came out of my mouth.
Merlin stared at me, not saying anything.
"I did not mean to say that!" I said quickly, afraid that he felt differently.
Merlin smiled and moved closer to me.

Merlin's POV

I smiled at his words and moved closer to him. I didn't know if I was going to hug him or kiss him but I knew that I had to do something.
"Merlin, what are you doing?" Arthur's voice was shakey and his cheeks were red.
"Something that I have wanted to do for a while now." I was surprised at my own words.
This time Arthur smirked and took the last step closer to me and grabbed my scarf. He gently pulled me closer and I willingly complied.
"Best birthday ever." I whispered against his lips before kissing him.

Arthur's POV

We had just finished eating our lunch and were leaning against a tree looking at the waterfall before us. His fingers were together with mine and his head was on my shoulder. Everything was perfect.
"No one in Camelot can know about us. They will have to think that I am still your servent." I looked down as Merlin spoke.
"I don't want to have to keep us a secret." I told him.
He smiled and his thumb started rubbing circles on my hand. I couldn't help but smile as well. I didn't want to lose this before it even started and I really don't want to lose Merlin because I can't keep my feelings in line.
"One day," Merlin started, "Camelot will be yours. And you will need an heir and a queen. I know that this is something that you don't want to think about right now but I don't want to be hurt later on. I love you too Arthur. I just don't know if I can do this."
I couldn't breath. I don't want to lose him because I am a prince. He can't really think that I would hurt him would he?
"Arthur! Breath. You are okay. I am still here with you." I blinked to see Merlin in my face.
"You have amazing eyes." I said before I could stop myself.
He laughed and sat back on his feet. He was kneeling in front of me and blocking my view of the waterfall. I didn't mind that he was the only thing I could see. In fact I perfered it to be that way. Both of us were just supidly smiling at each other when I saw the sun starting to set.
"We have to go!" I said jumping to my feet.
As romantic as it would have been to sit and watch the sunset, we had to get back so people wouldn't worry.
"I can get the horse ready if you pack up." Merlin said, standing up quickly.
I nodded and we both went about getting ready to leave. It only took five minutes for us to finish and before I knew it Merlin had his arms wrapped around me again on the back of my horse.
Merlin was quiet so I decided to break the silence, "Do you want to spend the night in my room?"
I knew that it was too soon to spend the night together but I felt that he needed to know that I would be there for him.
"I've never... I mean..." Merlin couldn't form a complete answer behind me.
"I just meant to sleep not..." I trailed off, unsure how to put words to my thoughts.
"What about Giaus though? He will know if I don't come back."
"It will be dark when we get back. Just say that you didn't want to wake him."

Merlin's POV

"Okay." I told him.
Arthur turned his head to look back at me and I took the opportunity to quickly kiss him.
"You're going to spend the night with me?" He asked, grinning.
"Yes. I don't know why I am saying yes, but I am."
"I know that this is too soon but I don't want you out of my sight for at least a day." I smiled at Arthur's words.

Arthur's POV

I was sad when we had arrived back at Camelot because that meant that I had to distance myself from Merlin until we got to my room.
"How was your birthday, Merlin?" I heard one of the cooks ask as we dropped off the picnic basket.
"Really boring. The food was amazing though." Merlin said with a yawn.
I didn't bother to stay and hear what was said next because I was too busy storming off to my room. Once I got there I slammed the door on Merlin and locked it.
"Arthur? What's wrong?" I heard his muffled voice through the door.
"You were bored the entire time?"
"Of course I wasn't Arthur. I only said that so they wouldn't think anything happened."
I opened the door a bit at these words, "Really?"
He laughed and nodded. I opened the door the rest of the way so he could get into the room and quickly closed it as soon as he was in. I pushed his back against the door and my lips found his in seconds. We were both smiling and I couldn't help but think of what I could do once I am king.
