My first Merlin fanfic! Done for a promt on LiveJournal for the "Arthur and Gwen Christmas Fest 2011". Enjoy! :D
Gwen rubs her nose and brings the bright red cape around her more snugly. She slyly brings it up to her nose, breathing in her husband's scent.
"Look, Guinevere, I made a snow angel!" He gets up and admires his masterpiece, glancing at Gwen every couple of seconds.
"That's wonderful, my lord. But why are we here in the first place?" Gwen walks towards Arthur for warmth, cuddling against him. He brings his arm around her in an iron tight grip.
"Oh, I don't know. I thought maybe we could escape the castle a little while...enjoy the nature." Arthur muses, kissing Gwen on the forehead. He brings his head back, smiling at the white flakes in Gwen's hair.
"What?" Gwen looks at him amusingly.
"Nothing." Arthur grins, and kisses Gwen on the lips lightly. He brings his lips away, and his eyes look past Gwen towards castle.
"Guinevere."
"Hmmm?"
"Let's make a castle."
"What?"
"Our own snow castle!" Arthur releases Gwen and gets on his knees, gathering snow. Gwen looks back at the castle and back again at Arthur. She starts laughing. Arthur stops gathering snow and gets back on his knees, looking up at Gwen.
"Am I to believe that my wife is laughing at me?" Gwen stops laughing and looks at him with an impish grin. She gets on her knees and starts gathering snow.
"Of course not, sire." She tilts her head at Arthur, fully aware he loves it when she calls him that seductively.
Arthur grins back, gathering snow again.
"Let's start with blocks."
Arthur and Gwen spent the next thirty minutes making blocks and stacking them. Occassionally, Gwen would throw snow at Arthur and vice versa.
The final product looked like a cube with stubs for towers.
Arthur frowned. "This doesn't look anything like the castle."
"I think it looks nice."
"It looks nothing like a castle!"
"Arthur."
"Yes, Guinevere?"
Gwen bent forward and kissed Arthur on the cheek.
"I think it looks perfect."
Arthur gazed at Gwen.
"Do you know what's perfect?"
Gwen smiled.
"You." Arthur answered his question, and kissed her.
