We found love in a hopeless place

[ayoungboy]

It's been 5 years since this whole nightmare began, and both sides had sustained incredible casualties. The whole of Europe was fairly decimated, but England was definitely the worst. Perhaps the worst of it all was the fact that Merlin didn't know if Arthur was dead or alive. Yes, he thought about him often. How stupid they'd both been. Merlin was willing to fight for what he believed in, but it hadn't been about him - it should have been about them, about working it out together. It should never have come to this.

He still wears the engagement ring on his finger. He's almost lost it once or twice, but it's still there - and he makes sure to take care of it and clean it, repair it. But that's not what this meeting it about; he's been selected to represent the magical community in the negotiations. All they wanted was their freedom back. Magic wasn't inherently evil; it was people that used it for nefarious purposes, people that mistreated it. They were willing to help put those people in jail. If only the non-magic users would understand.

They're meeting on what used to be Parliament, reduced to rubble, now. Merlin's fiddling with his hands, twisting the ring nervously. They've set up wards already; there are a few other magical delegates and guards there, but Merlin is to do the central talking. Still, there's only so much they can guard against, and if the non-magic users decide to attack…well, the magic users weren't going to be too keen on reopening negotiations after that.

"Later." Arthur strokes Merlin's cock for a bit before abandoning it in order to rid Merlin of his pants.

Now that they're both naked, Arthur kisses his way down to Merlin's chest until he settles in between his legs. He licks a few wet stripes over his dick, grinning up at Merlin.

[ayoungboy]

"Oh god," Merlin groans, tilting his hips up into Arthur's grip. "Fucking hell..."

[royalpratness]

Arthur lifts Merlin's hips and spreads his legs, flicking his tongue over his hole.

[ayoungboy]

"Arthur!" Merlin cries out, arching his back, up towards Arthur.

[royalpratness]

Arthur smirks, tightening his grip on Merlin's hips. He presses his lips against the tight ring of muscles, pressing the tip of his tongue inside.

[ayoungboy]

It's been too goddamn long, and Merlin is quickly devolving into a series of noises.

[royalpratness]

Arthur works him open with his tongue and eventually adds a finger too.

[ayoungboy]

"Arthur..." Merlin groans helplessly, writhing underneath him.

[royalpratness]

"I don't think we'll need the lotion now." Arthur smirks, kissing Merlin's thigh.

[ayoungboy]

"You're impossible," Merlin laughed breathlessly.

[royalpratness]

"Oh but you love it." Arthur leans up, licking the tip of Merlin's dick.

[ayoungboy]

"Fuck yes, of course I do." Merlin groans. Bastard. Knew exactly what he was doing.

[royalpratness]

Arthur grins, pressing a kiss to Merlin's stomach. "I know." He pushes Merlin's legs apart, settling in between them. "Can I?"

[ayoungboy]

"Yes," Merlin says, much too quickly. "Please."

[royalpratness]

"Okay." Arthur rests his hands on Merlin's hips, slowly pushing inside, inch by inch.

[ayoungboy]

Merlin shivers and arches to make it easier.

[royalpratness]

Arthur thrusts his hips forwards, moaning as he sinks deeply inside Merlin's tight heat.

[ayoungboy]

"Arthur - " Merlin moans, clinging to the man as he pushes in deep.

[royalpratness]

Arthur doesn't move for a moment, leaning in for a deep kiss.
