Title: Seventeen Again
Author: JeGarr
Info: Uh…just something I thought of while I was hanging out with one of my favourite "guy-friends" yesterday. I thought it'd be cute if I used my game of chase in a Merlin fic. Enjoy!
Soundtrack: Ok Go, Bon Iver, Muse and Snow Patrol.
Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin or a decent watch.
~Seventeen Again~
Their footsteps echoed through the forest. Her new dress was blowing out behind her, almost camouflaging with the trees. He had agreed that emerald looked beautiful on her skin.
As she ran, her shoes, which were tangled around her hand, clinked together loudly, her bare feet sinking into the forest floor. Her hair, even longer then it was a couple of years ago caught in the wind, the brown curls tangling into knots as she threw back her head and laughed.
Not far behind Guinevere, was Arthur, who was chasing after her. His appearance hadn't changed much. Quite a few more scars were scattered on his skin from recent battles and he was far more physically built, sculpted as Gwen had put it.
The two of them had grown up so much since they're early days where they'd had to keep many things in the dark. Away from Uther, away from Camelot away from everyone practically, the risk of being separated had been far too great back then. But where did they find themselves now? As carefree, slightly immature twenty three year olds running around a forest.
He was catching up with her now, her feet were getting tired, but of course he dare not say anything because she'd accuse him of discrimination against the strength of females. She was rather opinionated these days.
Taking a couple more steps, he had grabbed her waist with his hands, causing them both to fall to the ground. Guinevere fell conveniently on top of Arthur and they both burst into hysterical giggles having just run through the streets of Camelot and into a forest for no reason what so ever.
Arthur then rolled over, trapping Guinevere under him and placing a rather passionate kiss on her lips. They broke apart soon after, starved of oxygen from their frantic running. Arthur soon detached him self from Gwen and lay down next to her on the forest floor staring up at the canopy of trees and feeling as if they were both seventeen again, seventeen and carefree.
Thanks for reading! Thanks to everyone who reviews my stuff. I really appreciate! :D
