I don't own anything, we all know it, so I don't have to say it.
*Heart beats fast, colors and promises*
*How to be brave, I can I love when I'm afraid to fall*
*But watching you stand alone*
*All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow*
*One step closer*
The King stood with his bow in hand, watching the beast in front of him as it growled and showed its sharp teeth. The King's dark eyes stared straight into the monsters. His brows narrowed and... swoosh! He let the arrow go and it struck the beast in the heart. His knights watched in amazement as the bear snarled, it took one step towards the fearless king then fell to its death. The knights cheered loudly.
Cenred smirked as he walked towards the dead animal. He used his huge black boot to roll the bear over then looked towards his men. "We have fur for the winter."
The knights cheered even louder.
"Nothing can stand up to you your majesty." One congratulated as he walked up to the beast with a carving knife. "It's very big too."
Cenred nodded and hummed. He looked ahead and his brows narrowed at seeing something he hadn't noticed before. A beautiful clear stream. The king walked towards the water. As he got closer, the sound of the tiny waves hitting rocks could be heard. Cenred walked up to the water and smiled at the orange fish that could be seen through the clean water.
He inhaled the scent of the mist in the air and looked up. The king's smile slowly faded.
There, just at the other edge of the stream under the water fall was a pale back. It wasn't the body of a woman, though, no. It was of a man. It only showed for a second, the next second the body disappeared under the water. The king took a step forward and watched as the body swam from under. The slim body swam gracefully until it reached the middle of the river.
*Time stands still, beauty in all she is*
*I will be brave, I will not let anything take away*
*What's standing in front of me*
*Every breath, every hour has come to this*
*One step closer*
Then Cenred could just make out a hint of the pale face as it swam up and towards the surface. The water seemed to smoothly move aside, knowing that it's beauty was nothing compared to the one that had shamed it, and now the water was no longer in control. The man was.
The head rose above the water. Eyes shut beautifully, like in a movie. The body stood on its two legs, the eyes fluttered open and Cenred could not breathe right. The man stood with his mouth lightly open, amazed that such ocean-blue colored eyes existed. He'd never seen such beauty. His eyes trailed down the body and that's when he noticed that not only was the chest bare, but the whole body had absolutely no clothing. Cenred's eyes quickly trailed back to the blue eyes. The eyes stared back, unashamed.
Thats when the King noticed. This was no man, this was still a boy, no older than 17.
The boy slowly walked towards the King and the man felt his heart beat faster, like it would pop out of his chest, and making his stomach twist with the agony of desperation to touch the boy.
He could see the boy's legs moving under the water as he got closer, how the boy's finger tips trailed the very surface of the water, and how the boy's chest lightly fell and rose with his light breathing.
The boy was shameless. Of course, he had nothing to be shamed about.
Cenred hadn't noticed he dropped his sword the moment the boy's naked body was in the air for all to see. The King gulped too nervous for his own liking. Hell! No one made him feel this way! No one shamed King Cenred!
* I have died everyday waiting for you*
*Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years*
*I'll love you for a thousand more*
The King's thoughts where shattered when the boy stood a foot from him, a tiny smile on his pink full lips. The lips that were suddenly on Cenred's. They were soft, just as the King figured.
The boy pulled his lips away and stood with that same smile as he stared into the dark eyes. Cenred could swear his own knees where quaking loud enough for the forest to hear.
*And all along, I believed I would find you*
*Time as brought your heart to me, I have loved you*
*For a thousand years, I'll love you for a thousand more*
The boy smiled a little more. "How is your morning, King Cenred?"
The man frowned. "You know me?" He said surprised.
The boy's eyes trailed to the floor for a small second before he looked back at the King with a seductive look in his eyes. "Everyone knows the most fearless King around this part of the forest." He said low.
Cenred was even more surprised that the boy suddenly looked shy.
"Would his majesty require any of my services?" He said shamelessly.
Cenred gave a small breathy moan. He would like the boy to do so much at that moment. But he couldn't risk that, no. Not with his men so close and anyone could walk by any moment.
He pulled off his cloak and wrapped it around the boy's thin body. "Why not come to my castle." The King offered, he licked his suddenly dry lips. "You will be...most welcome... to stay." He added.
The boy smiled and walked closer so his head was on Cenred's shoulder. "For how long my lord?"
Cenred gulped dryly. "What is your name, love?"
"Merlin."
The king nodded. "Merlin, will you marry me?"
The boy smiled more. "I'd love to." He brought his lips to the King's and they shared another soft but more passionate kiss.
They heard a clear of a throat and they both turned to see Cenred's men standing and staring.
"Sorry, Majesty. Did we...miss something?"
Cenred shook his head. "Nothing that concerns you." He grabbed Merlin's hand and walked towards his horse the knight was holding. The King brought his hands around Merlin's waist and easily lifted him so he was sitting sideways on the horse, because the boy was, after all still naked. The king jumped on is horse and grabbed the reigns from his knight then he was off, leaving his confused knights wondering about the strange boy.
*One step closer*
*One step closer*
* I have died everyday waiting for you*
*Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years*
*I'll love you for a thousand more*
*And all along, I believed I would find you*
*Time as brought your heart to me, I have loved you*
*For a thousand years, I'll love you for a thousand more*
I was hearing this song and thought of a naked Merlin and Cenred "together", lol.
Review Please :)
