Thank you to cathcer1984 for your help :) x

There is a bit in this chapter that I took from series 1 episode 10. Can you spot it?

I apologise in advance for any mistakes I may have made :)

Arthur was on his way to the knighting ceremony the next morning when he saw a couple of maids giggling and chatting away, so much so, they didn't even notice him.

"Anyway, he has finally agreed to it." one of maids said to her friend. "I want it to be romantic but he drew the line at candles. He said making love surrounded by a single candle light was enough."

"Don't it bother you because you wanted more?" asked her friend.

"Oh no. I am actually grateful for the candle. Candle light flickering makes his cock look bigger than it is." the two maids burst into giggles and turned the corner leaving a shocked Prince stood there. Arthur got over his surprise and after remembering what Merlin said the day before, Arthur had finally remembered what he did for Merlin twice before. Once the knighting ceremony was over, he would set to work. With a lot of luck he will be sharing his bed with his husband once again.

Arthur was starting to get hard at the thought. It had only been two nights away from Merlin and the thought of having to share his bed again made him hard.

Arthur moaned and try to will his erection away by thinking of anything but Merlin. He couldn't stand there and watch his new set of men get knighted with tented breeches.

Once the men were knighted, Merlin frowned at Arthur. Normally once the knighting ceremony had finished Arthur would stay behind and congratulate his new set of knights and offer to take them for a drink. But as soon as they were knighted, Arthur congratulated them and rushed from the room without even a backwards glance.

"Merlin are you alright?"

Merlin turned his gaze away from the closed door and looked at Percival. "I don't know. Arthur is up to something."

"Do you want me to go and find out what?"

"No. It's alright Percival. I will find out soon enough."

Merlin, because Arthur had disappeared, offered to treat the newly appointed knights to a drink.

Merlin was in Raven's chambers saying good night to his daughter. "Have you seen your father at all today sweetheart?"

"Only this morning daddy." she answered as she got into bed.

"Okay." Merlin leaned forward and placed a kiss on his daughters forehead. "Goodnight sweetheart, sleep well."

"Night daddy."

Merlin distinguished all the candles except for the two on the table before leaving the room and heading for his youngest daughters rooms.

Merlin entered Evie's rooms and smiled when he saw his youngest sat on a big cushion in front of the fire.

"Are you alright darling?"

Marie-Eve looked up and smiled at Merlin. "I'm fine daddy."

Merlin took a chair from the table and sat it near the fire and sat down. "Come and sit on daddy's knee a minute darling. I want to show you something."

Evie did as she was told and holding Evie with his left arm, Merlin used his right arm and moved slightly forward, he picked a log and said a small incantation that split the log into eight small pieces, dropping the rest to the floor beside the fire, Merlin held the small but thick piece of wood in his hand and held it near the fire until the tip started to catch alight. He then held it up to his face and blew the tip causing the fire sparks to drift from the wood.

"Draca." Evie watched in awe and squealed happily when the fire sparks shaped into the form of a small dragon before disappearing altogether. "You like that darling?"

"I loved it."

Merlin chuckled. "Thought you would."

Evie jumped off Merlin's knee and ran over to her bed. Merlin dimmed the fire and followed. After saying goodnight and kissing her forehead, leaving two candle alight on the table like with Raven, Merlin headed to his chambers with a frown on his face. He hadn't seen Arthur since this morning. Where was he and more importantly, what was he doing?

Merlin had decided to take the long way round to get to his and Arthur's chambers, knowing in order to get there he would have to pass the chambers Arthur had spent the last two nights in, hoping to get a glimpse of his blond husband who he hadn't seen all day.

Merlin stopped when he reached the doors and put his ear to the wood in hopes that he could hear Arthur moving about.

"Baby?"

Merlin jumped a little and turned to see Arthur walking up to him. "What are you doing?"

"Never mind that. Where have you been all day?"

"Why? Have you been worried?"

"Of course I have. What kind of question is that. I may be still mad at you but I still worry. I need to know where you are in case anything happens Arthur."

"I know that Merlin. And I am sorry for making you worry but even though you haven't seen me, you haven't left my sight all day."

"Arthur what have you been doing all day?"

"Do you trust me?"

"With my life."

Arthur smiled and pulled a long piece of material from his pocket and turned his husband around and covered his eyes, tying the material loosely at the back. "Let me show you what I have been doing all day." Arthur breathed into Merlin's ear, smiling when he saw and felt Merlin shiver.

Arthur, keeping a tight hold of Merlin, led him to their chambers. "We have a couple of steps here Merlin."

"Okay. Just tell me when to lift my foot."

"I have a better idea." Arthur said as he turned to the side of Merlin and lifted him up the two steps before placing him on his feet once more. "Not far now Merlin. Are you alright walking?"

Merlin couldn't help but laugh a little. "I am fine Arthur."

When Merlin came to a stop and felt Arthur move away from him he knew they must have reached their chambers. He heard the doors in front of him open and Arthur held onto him and guided him forward a little before letting go. Merlin heard their chamber doors shut behind him and heard Arthur slide the lock firmly into place. "Arthur?"

"I'm here Merlin."

Merlin felt Arthur remove his blindfold but kept his eyes shut until Arthur said he could open them. He felt Arthur move round to stand in front of him, taking his hands and holding them gently as Arthur stroked his thumb across Merlin's hand. "Open your eyes sweetheart."

Merlin opened his eyes and gasped at the sight surrounding him. There were candles lit and sitting on every surface, lighting the room up giving it that warm romantic glow. Looking over to their bed, Merlin saw rose petals scattered on the floor around the bed whilst on the bed itself was a shape of a love heart that was done by rose petals.

"This is me showing you that I am sorry and that I love you. Is this what you meant? Am I forgiven?"

Tears in his eyes, Merlin turned and face Arthur, giving him a watery smile. "I forgive you Arthur. I love you too and yes this was what I meant."

"Does this mean I can be back in here again?"

Merlin laughed. "Yes Arthur." Merlin's eyes flashed gold and Arthur looked down to see that they were both naked. Looking back up at Merlin he smiled to Merlin looking at him lovingly. "Make love to me Arthur."

What do you think?
