【Merlin】

"I'm a little upset that I couldn't help the other guys find their partners so I really want to help Jack find his!!" Is what she told me, but... I can already feel Frost's nervousness radiating. He's right by me as we watch Y/n leaving to get this girl he's been talking about. We head down to the ballroom again. We both try to act as natural as we can with each other but fail horribly.

When we stop trying to act we both sigh. I put my hand on his shoulder to get his attention, "Listen, I've only been with Y/n for a while now so I don't know if I can give that much good advice but what I want to say is just be yourself, she'll see you as a nice, cool," He gives me a look like I offended him. I start feeling a cold sweat. "... Guy so let's see where the night takes you guys." I give him one more smile and a pat on the back.

Finally, Y/n comes over with the new girl and looks over to us as she continues talking to her. "This is my fiancé, Prince Merlin and Jack Frost, my good childhood friend!"

"It's nice to meet you. Princess Y/n was just telling me that, Jack, you also have powers?" She looks directly at Frost in the eyes, he almost stumbles but I catch him with a pat on the back. "Y-yes I got them when I was young, I didn't know how to control them at first though..." Her eyes brighten. "So how did you control them??" She moves closer to Frost, both Y/n and I nod to each other. Our work here is done, as we leave Frost and the new girl alone together.

...

Later that night it seemed like it worked out okay because they're hugging each other close on the ballroom dance floor. Frost notices us staring and blushes down. We both give them a thumbs up. We also see the rest of the guys with their dates. I look back to Y/n, "Would you like to continue dancing, my lady?" I take out my hand and she grabs it. "Yes." We head back to join everyone else as we dance till morning.

【Y/n】

Wow, that night could have lasted forever! But this is fine too... I wake up to Merlin holding me in his arms. I go to feel my shoulder and Yep, it's covered in drool. I shake my head as I get up and grab a towel in the bathroom. I start to change for the day. Merlin wanders into the bathroom half asleep, not even noticing I've taken my bra off. "Good morning, Y/n." He kisses me on the cheek as he takes off his shirt.

I look over to him in shock turning bright pink, does he not know the situation?? I take a few good looks at his bare chest as I said, "G-good morning, um, did you sleep well?" After I say that Merlin does a double take on me. I try to cover my chest up as he drops his shirt on the sink. He looks me up and down as he blushes deeply, staring at me. "I... Ugh..." I-I wonder if he likes what he sees. "I'm sorry, I-I didn't know you were um... Continue on." He smiles nervously as he rushes out the bathroom shutting the door. I sigh and smile to myself, Probably?

【Merlin】

As I shut the door I fall to my knees and hear the shower running. I've never seen Y/n that beautiful before, fuck- ... I've never cursed before... I might use it more... I hold my fist to my face feeling the heat that has left me in. I can't take it I want- I hear the shower then stop. That quickly!? I'm in disbelief as she gets out... "Merlin?" I get up. "Um.. ah." I look up to her and she's only in a towel. "Look, Merlin, we need to talk." She motions over to the bed and we go to sit down.

But that doesn't happen, instead, she accidentally trips over one of the toys Lunar was playing with earlier. Falling over I try to catch her. I hold her waist and we both fall back on the bed. Her dripping wet hair on the bed and- she's fully naked!? I must've accidentally pulled it off as we were falling. Both of us stare into each other's eyes as our faces get closer and closer. "Merlin..." I feel her hot breath grazing my own. She starts to turn red... Oh no. She's probably mad.
