A/N I know they seem a little OOC, sorry about that :/ Anyways, enjoy! :)
Merlin lay across the bed, his knees under his chest and his arms folded on top of them. He breathed deeply, trying to keep it calm and steady as he gulped back the cool evening air. Arthur moved his head around the flap of the tent and watched Merlin carefully, his presence only known a few minutes later when Percival called his name. Merlin glanced up, weakly smiling at Arthur, his eyes begging to be held. Arthur smiled back, entering the tent and closing the flap behind him as he stepped towards the bed lightly. With a warm smile Arthur sat beside him, wrapping his warm and strong arms across Merlin's shivering shoulders.
"We'll be okay," murmured Arthur as Merlin fell against him, curving his body.
"I know," was the soft reply from the raven haired man as he slowly released his arms and wrapped them back around Arthur. Arthur chuckled, leaning into his servant and nuzzling his neck. Merlin returned the gesture, breathing in the scent of the King deeply, placing it into the heart of his memory. They sat like that for a few minutes, breathing in unison as they remembered each other's scent like their own. Finally Arthur pulled away, looking deep into Merlin's icy blue eyes before closing his own and kissing him softly. Merlin didn't even act surprised, as though he'd been expecting it for a while. He simply kissed him back, holding him close. Arthur softly moved closer to Merlin, pressing their bodies closer as he ever so gently lowered Merlin towards the mattress. With a smile, Arthur grabbed the hem of Merlin's shirt and pulled it over his head in one sharp tug.
Arthur awoke lazily, his arms slung around Merlin's hips and his hands clasped around Merlin's stomach. He smiled and snuggled a little closer to Merlin's naked back, pressing soft kisses to the nape of his neck until Merlin giggled awake.
"Morning," chuckled Merlin, leaning backwards to stroke Arthur's cheek.
"Morning," replied Arthur with a soft smile, kissing the hand lightly before sitting up quickly. Merlin frowned at him before sitting up too, glancing at him sharply.
"Its time," he whispered, kissing Arthur's shoulder gently.
"The end is nigh," sighed Arthur, giving him a proper kiss before getting up to get dressed.
