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.

Moaning, Arthur complies with Merlin's request and picks up his pace. "Shit.." He reaches in between their bodies, starting to stroke Merlin's cock.

"We should do this every night," Merlin laughs breathlessly.

[royalpratness]

"Yes, absolutely." Arthur grins, stretching out by Merlin's side.

[ayoungboy]

"How was your day?"

[royalpratness]

"Very long." Arthur wraps his arms around Merlin. "Yours?"

[ayoungboy]

"Mm, same. So much to do..."

[royalpratness]

"Maybe we really should run away and live on a farm somewhere far away." Arthur sighs, wishing this was an option.

[ayoungboy]

"A nice little house on a hill, yeah?" Merlin plays along, smiling fondly.

[royalpratness]

"With a vegetable garden." Arthur smiles, kissing Merlin's shoulder.

[ayoungboy]

"And an apple tree. Love an apple tree."

[royalpratness]

"Sounds good." Arthur closes his eyes, yawning.

[ayoungboy]

"Sleep, sweetheart." Merlin smiles softly. "You need the rest."

[royalpratness]

"So do you." Arthur tilts his head, catching Merlin's lips with his own.

[ayoungboy]

Merlin hums, kissing him back warmly.

[royalpratness]

Arthur smiles, settling down again. "Sleep well."

[ayoungboy]

"You too," Merlin murmurs softly.

It doesn't take long for Arthur to fall asleep, holding Merlin in his arms.
