A/N: Okay here is day four! This prompt is Arthur and Merlin. Just two men in love. Enjoy!
Arthur smiled, content in that moment with the boy in his arms. Merlin's features were smooth and relaxed, the moonlight through the window casting his skin in a pale glow. The king studied his companion's face, taking moments to just stare into the bright blue eyes, completely entranced as he ran his fingers over the warm skin of the raven haired man's cheekbones. His other arm was securely wrapped around the narrow shoulders, holding him close. The raven haired boy was cuddled into the blonde's bare chest, happy and warm in contrast to the cold outside they were hunting in earlier.
Their day had gone well, just the two of them enjoying their time together. No interruptions, or problems, except for Merlin's occasional slip and scare of the game. Not that he was really hunting anyway. He was more focused on holding Merlin's hand and talking about everything imaginable. After a while they returned to the castle and finished any duties, then proceeded to retire for the night.
Now they lay there, content with studying the others face. Merlin watched through half lidded eyes as Arthur pampered him with kisses every so often. The blonde smiled at the boy, affection was shining in his eyes, mirroring the pale boy's. Merlin would lean up from time to time to steal a kiss, much to the other man's delight.
Here they could throw the day away, forget about rank, duties, and what not. Here they were just Arthur and Merlin. Two men in love. Arthur was just Arthur to Merlin, and Merlin was Merlin to Arthur. Not prat, servant, king, sire, or idiot. No Once and Future King or Sorcerer. Just them.
Arthur and Merlin.
