Merthur and Reader x Sir Leon

Noises in the dark

Your P/O/V:

I smile at Leon across the room before turning my gaze back over to Arthur who is explaining some council matter. The meeting comes to an end and I stand walking over to Arthur "Great job big brother." he grins "Running a kingdom is tiring." I smile and kiss the top of his head "Well you do a great job of it." he laughs and Morgana walks over "Y/N may I speak with you?" I nod "Of course." the two of us walk out of the council chambers and down the corridor outside "How are things with Leon?"

I smile brightly "Great." she nods "Please tell me you plan on telling everyone soon." I nod "Definitely, sneaking around is getting really hard." she smiles "How long?" grinning we stop outside my room "Next week when I win the bet." laughing she hugs me gently "See you later." I open my door and let out a little yelp "Leon?" he grins "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." I put a hand to my chest taking several deep breaths to calm my racing heart. "Don't worry about it." he walks over kissing me gently "So it would seem I've lost the bet." I smile "I hate lying to them all, should we tell them soon?"

He nods "Tomorrow?" I nod "Tomorrow." he smiles "Should we tell them outright or..." I smile wrapping my arms around his neck "Where's the fun in that?" he chuckles "True." I yawn and look out the window "I'm hungry." he smiles "I'll leave you to eat, see you tomorrow?" I nod and pull away "Can you sleep here tonight?" he nods kissing my cheek "I'll sneak back after dinner." I smile and nod "I'll see you later then." he leaves and I sit at my desk pulling one of my books towards me.

"Good evening Y/N." I smile "Hi Erin." she puts a plate of food in-front of me and I smile gratefully "Thank you." she nods "Of course. Do you need anything else?" I shake my head and she lights the candles by my bed and pulls the curtains shut "I'll see you tomorrow then." I nod and start eating "Sleep well." she walks out the room and I finish eating. I stand and walk over to my wardrobe taking one of Leon's shirt out from the bottom that stole a few days ago. Pulling it over my head I lay on my bed pulling the duvet up over myself.

The door opens and Leon walks into the room smiling "Hey." I smile and sit up "Is that my shirt?" I blush slightly and nod "Yea." he grins and kicks of his boots and takes of his shirt before lying down next to me "How was your day?" I smile rolling onto my side "It was alright. How was yours?" he smiles "Tiring. I think Gwaine saw me sneaking over here." I nod slightly moving closer "Well it's a good thing we're going to tell them tomorrow." he nods and rolls onto his back. I lean my head on his chest and he wraps an arm around my waist "Good night, princess." I smile and close my eyes "Good night."

A loud bang echoes outside my room and I sit up with a start blinking slightly in the dark "Leon," I whisper shaking his shoulder gently "Leon." he stirs opening his eyes "What?" I shake my head slightly whispering "I don't know but there was a loud bang outside." he sits up and another bang comes from outside. I use my magi to scan the corridor "I can't sense anyone." he stands pulling on his shirt, he walks over to the door opening it slightly and looking out "I can't see anything either." he closes the door and locks it before walking over and lying back down "I'm sure its just the wind." I nod slightly and snuggle up to his side before closing my eyes again. But I can't shake the feeling that something isn't right. I fall asleep slowly listing to the steady rhythm of Leon's heart.
