Protected By Magic

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away

Arthur smiled as he watched Morgana; she was happy, laughing, and smiling with Gwen. Her quite and gentle chambermaid, friend, and so much more, was smiling back their eyes sending sparks to each other, hidden from those who didn't know what to look for.

Blue eyes turned to the window and he smiled at the peaceful and beautiful scene of the courtyard. Snow had settled and there were a few footprints from some knights, there was one knight chasing his son around whilst his wife watched holding their baby daughter wrapped up from the cold.

Last year it had been him and Morgana down there pelting each other with snowballs, flushed with excitement and cold. Last year it had been him kissing Morgana under the mistletoe. Looking back he could see that it had never been love he had just fooled himself with her beauty, but it didn't stop his heart feeling torn. Last year, it was Gwen, Morgana kissed good morning, he kept quiet and knew they had not seen but he had distanced himself from her, telling Morgana it was a mistake.

This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

This year it was real, the night they had spent watching the snowfall curled up by the fire drinking hot coco. This year he knew his heart was safe, he knew it would be protected in the most thorough and adorable way. He knew that he would never cry because of a torn heart again, suddenly Arthur loved the winter, the excuses to curl up and request his love to sleep beside him, to share body heat. Arthur did not mind Morgana's smile directed at him with that knowing look in her dark green eyes.

Smiling at the two girls who sat on his bed drinking wine he walked to the man standing at the fire staring into the flames as if they held the answers. Black hair, blue eyes, pale skin. Arthur's arms slipped around the thin but toned form from behind and the man lent back. A head settled on the blonds' shoulder soft blue eyes meeting his lighter ones. He smiled down at his manservant, friend, and so much more. Smiling softly he pressed his lips to Merlin's red ones.

This year his heart was protected by magic and it forever would be.


Have I made anyone throw up?
