Fate/Grand Order: Queen of Magic
A/N: Gah! I am sorry for the long wait! I have been working on this sense Holloween. I have only just now got everything together and readable. I am still not too happy with it but it is more of a background chapter more than anything. Well, that and shameless fanservice but I don't think you will have any problems with that! XD Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading it!
Chapter Two: Shopping and The Old Man of The Jewels
Waking up to a horny half incubus with his face in between your legs was something that would require some time to get used to Arturia supposed. After a rather thorough 'cleaning' with his tongue Merlin decided that she might also enjoy an early morning romp in the sheets. Which she did. As the two lay intertwined after he was finally sated again Arturia glanced at the small analog clock on her end table by her bed. It was, like most things in the small house, a rescue from an old abandoned home that she had gone through as a small child. When she had gotten it the small little mantle clock did not work and it had required some cleaning on the inside but she had finally gotten it going, the pretty dark wood clock was now one of her favorite things that she had saved. Checking the time the green haired girl relaxed as she realized that it was still only about six thirty in the morning. The rotation on her 'guards' where some of the more 'Lazy' sort and did not keep the best watch on her, the only ones she had to worry about would not even be there until late that evening. Mad-Eye would be one of the ones on duty then.
Stretching a bit on the rumpled sheets Arturia glanced at Merlin who was watching her with an odd look on his face. It was half amused half calculating. Normally something like that would put her hackles up but she did not think that he wanted to do her any harm, more like he was curious about her rather than anything else. Smiling at the white-haired man the teen ran a hand through her long emerald green hair with a sigh as she felt the tangles in the long strands. Pushing herself up Arturia grimaced as slight pain twinged from her abused lower muscles. Pulling the blankets back she glanced down at the junction in between her legs with a frown on her pretty face.
Merlin who had been laying on his side pushed himself up a bit and looked down at her lower body as well with a curious look on his face that became slightly smug as he saw the sticky white streams of liquid staining her legs. A small frown crossed his face a second later however as he also saw that a bit of blood was mixed in with it. Glancing at his 'Mistresses' face he saw the well-hidden look of slight pain in her eyes before he reached down, pausing with his hand hovering just shy of touching the young woman's most private area. He waited until she looked at him to silently ask if she did not mind him checking down there. Receiving a slight nod from the teen, the man gently brought his fingers against her nether region.
For several minutes Merlin prodded her slightly, making note of every time she winced or showed pain before taking his hand away from her abused orifice. As he pulled his long fingers away however he noted the fresh blood staining the tips with a slight scowl on his face.
"I think I may have torn something this morning. I was a bit rough with you." Merlin stated before sitting up completely, shooting a contemplative look at his fingers as he rubbed the blood in between his fingertips. Glancing at his new lover he could see the worry on her face and smiled gently to reassure her.
"Oh, it's nothing too bad. It happens sometimes when a woman is as small as you and new to these types of things. I can easily heal it up if you let me." The Magus of Flowers stated confidently as he smiled at Arturia. The teenager blinked and then nodded slightly to show that she did not mind.
The Magus was quick to heal her up before covering himself with the bed sheet while allowing his contractor to get dressed for the day after a quick shower. He watched as she pulled on some burgundy underclothing ( That he leered at playfully earning a giggle from Arturia. ) Then a black dress that came to her thighs and left her shoulders exposed while riding high on her neck. Under it where dove gray thigh high stockings that were thick to protect her from the still slightly cool weather. Again Merlin noticed that the clothing was in good condition but obviously second hand. Frowning to himself he tucked the information away to think on latter before tilting his head to the side when Arturia looked at him thoughtfully.
The teenage witch, on the other hand, was contemplating what she had that she could fit the man lounging on her bed. She had some of Dudley's old clothing still but even as baggy as it was, it was much too small for the tall well-muscled man. Biting her bottom lip while she thought Arturia's eyes wondered about her room as she pulled her hair up into a high tail. Just as she finished pulling the hair band tight, her jade colored eyes widened as a thought came to her.
"Um," Arturia began slightly strained before continuing when Merlin raised a brow at her. "I have some silk and cotton fabrics that I rescued from a department store that tossed them out after no one bought them. Do you know any spells to help make clothing, I don't think I have anything that will fit you otherwise and I can't use magic right now… well, none with a wand anyway."
Merlin blinked before giving a small nod and waving a hand at her.
"I know a few spells that I can use until we can get some proper clothing. Would you mind grabbing out the fabric?" The half Incubus asked with a thoughtful hum. Arturia nodded before walking over to a beat up steamer trunk in a corner of the room and flipped the lid open. Out of the faded blue trunk, she pulled out several bolts of cloth. One, silk in a deep plum color while another was black in the same material. The last two were larger than the other bolts and were cotton rather than silk. One a deep blue color while the other was white. She brought them over to the man still seated on her bed and placed them down on the rumpled bedding. As she sat them down Merlin smirked and pulled her down as well so that she sat beside him. Arturia blinked at him only to receive a rather heated kiss from the man before he pulled back to look at the fabric in front of him. Flushed from the attention the teen watched as the man looked at the fabric, ran a hand over each one then gave a nod and with a wave of his hand flicked it over all four of them.
With a gentle flash of light all three bolts were gone and in their place where two cotton slacks, one pair white while the other was blue, two silk button-up shirts. One was made of the deep plum silk while the other was black. The rest of the fabric she saw had been made into a deep blue jacket with black silk lining and to her amusement several pairs of socks. Wondering at the buttons and zippers on the pants as well as the shirts Arturia shot a questioning look at Merlin who smiled at her.
"While I do have my normal body we do still share a link like one of the Master/Servant bond seen during a Grail War. I saw some of your dreams and though incomplete I noted the clothing style of nowadays. The metal/plastic bolts holding the fabric was used to make the additions." He stated as he moved to get to his feet. Normally Arturia would squeak and turn around if she saw a naked male but she had seen all of him during the last day and a half so just watched him with a slightly flushed face.
Merlin noticed the look and made sure that she got a very good view as he pulled on the blue pants, black button up shirt and lastly the blue jacket. Then he sat back down on the bed to pull on the socks. Arturia giggled when she saw him look a bit puzzled at first then his eyes lit up with understanding when the socks did not quite fit right.
Arturia almost laughed again when he finally got them to sit straight and he shot her an amused look through his heavy ash gray lashes. The teenager flushed as she caught the slightly soft look on the man's face as his lips twitched upward in amusement and his violet eyes stayed on her slight form. For a long moment they just stared at each other before Arturia finally glanced away asking:
"Are you hungry? For real food I mean?" With a light flush as she realized how he may take that.
Merlin smirked but then gained a thoughtful look before nodding. Inhuman though he was he still had an urge to eat normal food and even derived nutrition from it so he was quite hungry now that he thought about it. A small rumble from his stomach made the green haired teen blink then let out a laugh before standing.
"I guess that answers that then. I have some fruit and muffins put away but that's all as I don't have a cold box or anything similar put into the house yet. Hell, I don't even have electricity and barely have working water. The stove is an old wood burning one that was the original that came with the house. So if you want hot food we will have to pick some up at the store while we get you some more clothes." Arturia rambled on as she made her way out of the room and into the small kitchen. Merlin followed with an amused look on his handsome face as he watched the girl make her way around the tinny room and grab things out of the cupboards. By the time she was finished, she had put out two tea cups along with an odd little basket that held several small capped cups.
Merlin moved closer to the battered old table to read the wording on the caps only to realize that it was cream. Wondering at that because he knew that when he had last been free that specific thing needed to be kept chilled the Magus glanced up only to raise a brow in surprise as he saw Arturia run her fingers over some runes on the cast iron stove. A spurt of flame sprang up from the grate where she had put on a dinged copper Kettle as the runes glowed a light blue. As a matter of fact, now that he thought about it the bathroom held runes too on the old copper faucet. Pushing it out of his mind for right then his amethyst eyes followed Arturia around the room as she also pulled out a packet of four muffins along with a bowl of fruit from another cupboard then put it on the table. Then she scuttled back over to the kettle right as it sounded with a great whistle.
After getting the kettle off the stove Arturia asked him to pick out a tea that he liked as she kept quite a few of them on hand. Looking at the small jars full of tea leaves he picked up some, opened them, took a whiff then sat them back down until he found one he liked. The young woman glanced at the bottle, squinted when she realized that she had left her glasses in her room again. Reading the label on the side the teen nodded then got out some sugar cubes as well. The tea was one of the stronger ones after all.
The two then sat down and ate slowly, making conversation. Arturia explained some of the things that they were likely to come across that day and asked what exactly he had in mind for clothing while Merlin listened to her explanations and gave a few of his own on clothing choices. After they finished the green haired witch cleaned out the cups then grabbed her glasses, satchel and shoes that she slipped on. Glancing behind her she saw Merlin pull on his boots which were thankfully still intact due to runes on the inside of them and did not look too odd with his chosen outfit. After he pulled them on she opened the door and waved him outside before shutting it again and locking it. Turning around as she put the key away in her satchel Arturia smiled and asked:
"Ready to go?" to which Merlin respond to with a nod and they were off. Soon they came to a trolly stop where Arturia explained that they would have to wait for the trolly to the closest shopping district. Even though they were some blocks away from Privet Dr. the green haired teen kept a sharp eye out and asked Merlin to make sure that no one magical was up and about while they waited. The tall white-haired male raised a brow but did so.
Thankfully no one showed up by the time the trolly arrived and Arturia had finished explaining just why she wanted to avoid any magic users right then. Merlin was scowling softly while glaring at nothing in particular. He did not like the thought that someone was trying to control his contractor. And that was what this was about, control. The so-called wards where obviously not effective as of the minute her blood had been taken and to add insult to injury he was not even all that sure that there were true 'wards' there in the first place. Blood wards require emotion just as much as a blood relation after all. Pushing it to the back of his mind to analyze later on the white-haired male stepped onto the subdued tram and took a seat with his little mistress not giving any mind to the stairs he received from various women. He knew he was handsome, even otherworldly, to human females so he did not pay much mind to them as he already had a partner who would likely be with him for a good long time… and to be honest he wanted to keep it that way.
Glancing at the small young woman beside him the half incubus let a smile curl across his face. Truly little Arturia was something of an enigma. For all that she said she was human and truly believed she was, she was not. When he tasted her, her first blood along with her essence when she 'feed' him he had realized that the young woman had divinity flowing through her veins. Divinity that was doubling its potency by the day it seemed. Soon she would likely become something of a lower godling. Or rather a goddess. Also, he licked his lips as he glanced away from her, she was truly the best 'food' he had ever had. Normally he would have had to drain five or six moderately powerful magus's alive to sustain himself after such a long bout of little food but it only took a couple of rounds with the small woman to make him sated.
Thinking back on that a slightly smug expression crossed the incubus's face. He could still recall how the pretty young woman had come apart for him so many times. That it had made her all the more beautiful was something that just made his interest in her all the sharper. Soon, however, he was drawn from his revery as the trolly pulled up to it's stop and Arturia motioned for him to depart. They waited until the heavy traffic was out of the way before they moved to get out.
Merlin looked around in wonder as he saw the slightly crowded streets, which were much cleaner than they had in his time and the brick buildings that looked better made as well. A slight tugging on his hand made him look down at the slim young woman that was holding it. Arturia looked a bit amused at his awed expression but wanted to get out of the way of the heavier traffic that was starting to congeal the sidewalk. Smiling down at the green haired young woman Merlin allowed her to lead him away from the more populated street to a slightly less populated one. The stores here were a bit less showy but also a little more upper class than the ones on the other street. The emerald-eyed girl glanced up at him before motioning to one store in particular.
Siegfried's
Was emblazoned on the top of the glass door in a nice golden old English print. Glancing down at Arturia he saw the slight flush on her face as she pulled him towards the store.
"It's a store that I heard about from some of the Muggle-born students in my year. A few older male students said it's a good place to get both loungewear and the more formal wear. It also is not all that pricey compared to some of the really high-end places but has good quality goods." She stated as they approached the door. Swinging the door open they both glanced up as a bell sounded and saw the silver old-fashioned doorbell hanging over the open door. Merlin leaned over Arturia slightly, pulling the girl closer to himself as he saw a young man in his late teen's early twenties hurry over to them as they stood looking around. He managed to catch the faintly interested expression in the other males oak brown eyes as he stared at the tiny female in Merlin's grip, then the man glanced up at him only to blanch slightly at the annoyed look in his lavender eyes. With the possessive arm he had wrapped around Arturia's middle he most likely came off as a rather possessive boyfriend but he really did not care, the girl was his and that's all there was too it.
"Ah… Hello, My name is Able may I be of service to you?" The man asked as he came to a stop in front of the two beautiful people who had entered the store. Oh, not that he had never seen physically beautiful people before, the store attracted them like flies to a carcass after all, but these two were something well… More. The man had an otherworldly beauty with his long white hair that hung down his back to his knees in a long sheet of starlight while the top of it was a riot of spikes and soft curls. The face underneath was strong without being too hard and held sharply slanted eyes along with a straight slim nose. He had to stand at about a hundred and seventy cm or so and was built slim. The female was much smaller than her companion but no less beautiful. Sixty-Two cm He estimated as he eyed the girl subtly, he did not want those inhuman sharp amethyst eyes on him for eyeing the girl with interest again.
The girl was clearly a bit younger than the man but Able could not tell just how old she was, the small girl could have been anywhere from sixteen to nineteen with her face and body type. Her long green hair, which he could see was natural… how odd, was up in a high ponytail with only her bangs framing an aristocratically pretty face with small frameless glasses sitting on her nose highlighting her deeper green eyes. A full mouth without any kind of makeup painting it was pretty and pink anyway. She had a small body but curvy for all that she was tiny. Truly a natural beauty even in her obviously second-hand clothing. Able quickly cataloged the girl then glanced away so as to not agitate the clearly possessive male with her.
"Merlin here, yes I know he was named after that Merlin too how neat is that!, needs a new wardrobe as his roof collapsed due to that bad storm we had a few days ago knocked a tree into his home. It completely flooded his room, luckily he was visiting me as…" Arturia was cut off by Merlin sliding a hand up her side to just under her breast and spoke as she trailed off on her fib.
"We finally had some time together after my job took me away from London for a while. I was so excited to see her I did not even think to check the weather but it worked out perfectly fine for me because not only did I miss getting what would have undoubtedly have been a very unpleasant surprise but I also got to cuddle with my girl." the man purred out as he ran his hand back down her body to her hip while pressing himself tighter against her back. "However, I do need a full wardrobe again. I have to get back to work tomorrow after all."
Arturia flushed as Merlin eyed the slightly flustered sales clerk before pushing away from the posturing male and grabbing a cloth shopping bag with the store's logo on it. She then pulled on Merlin's hand and flashed the clerk a smile which got him to turn an, even more, deeper shade of red before stating that they would find what they needed but thanks for the offer. She quickly pulled Merlin away from the man before he could do more than bare his teeth in a parody of a smile at the poor man. Really what had gotten into him?
Pushing it out of her mind the teen walked over to a rack of button-down shirts and eyed Merlin for a long moment, getting his coloring and body type committed to memory, just to be sure, then began to grab a few shirts after making certain that they would not clash with his coloring. The male on the other hand just watched the sixteen-year-old with some amusement before his eyes fell on her bottom that wiggled about as she moved around the rack of clothing. However, as he stared rather lecherously at the inciting sight for a moment he noted the poor quality of her own clothing and wondered just why she never bought better as she obviously had the money for it. Deciding that keeping quiet would never get him anywhere he spoke up.
"Arturia," He began and waited until his little lover turned to look at him before he went on. "If you have the money for this why don't you use it to get some clothing for yourself as well?"
For a moment the teen froze as she looked over her shoulder at him before letting out a sigh then in a defeated tone explaining the reason.
"My relatives, the Dursleys, dislike me because I'm different, I already told you that. They fed me, clothed me, yes in second-hand clothing but it was still clothing and did not once raise their hands to me but that's about it. They deeply dislike me and made it known all throughout my life." For a moment Arturia looked downtrodden before she inhaled and continued. "However, they are greedy down to there core. If they knew I had money then they would try to take it in a heartbeat, even though they did get a stipend for raising me and the fact that they hate anything 'abnormal', I don't want to check and see if that also includes money. Plus my clothing is not that bad. It's second hand yes, but it's not falling apart, fits me well and that is good enough for me." She stated in a brisk tone before going back to looking at the shirts.
Merlin, however, frowned more as he remembered her underclothing along with some of the other articles of clothing that he had glimpsed in her chest of drawers. Her underclothes barely fit her right and even he could tell that some of them were on their last threads before they fell apart. For a young lady, a noble-born one at that, it was an atrocity that she was clothed so poorly. Leaning over her, acting like he was looking closely at a particular black shit with lavender thread at the hem and embroidered into the sleeves, while he whispered into her ear.
"If I am getting new clothing so should you. You needn't worry about your relatives, I'll take care of that if need be. Plus," He ran a hand along her behind, stopping on her lower back. "I noticed that your underclothing is getting a bit threadbare and tight around your chest and hips. You need at least new underclothing." Arturia froze under his touch but after a moment nodded reluctantly. She knew that truthfully she did need some new clothing and really she did not need to shop at such a high-end store for herself.
"Alright, after we are finished with your stuff we will go get some things for me as well." The teen stated then shoved a bundle of cloth into his arms before ushering him into a changing room. It took maybe an hour in the store before both were satisfied with the amount of clothing that they had purchased. In total they had brought about twenty-five shirts of various designs, five different dress vests along with blazers that went with them, ten cotton slacks of various colors, ten pairs of jeans (That Arturia sort of drooled at when he tried them on, she would be surprised if he was not jumped whenever he wore them, was ignored at least by her. Merlin, on the other hand, looked very interested in her flushed face.), some socks, and a nice hooded coat that they had found in the back of the store. She did not even flinch as the clerk, the same one from earlier actually (He still would not look at her without flinching when catching sight of Merlin), rang them up. Not batting an eye at the three thousand five hundred plus pounds she slid over her card for the more mundane aspect of Gringotts, they actually had certain accounts for those frequently in the Muggle side of the world, and paid it without blinking.
After everything was bagged Arturia pulled Merlin outside the shop into an alleyway at the end of the street before sliding all the purchases into her satchel, which she explained was enchanted to allow for her to carry a good amount of stuff before getting full.
Merlin waited for her to put everything away before pointedly asking where they could go to get her own clothing. The green haired teen sighed before walking back out to the shopping area and looking around for a boutique, tugging at her long ponytail as she glanced about. It took a while before she found one that was not for more 'girly' women. She did not have a problem with pink but that much of it could not possibly be healthy. It was again an upper-class place with nicely made clothing that would last a good long while. Glancing at the name of the store Arturia was not surprised to see that once again it was named after a European legend. Most of the stores here appeared to be.
The Lady Of The Lake
Eyeing the loopy silver writing Arturia's bright green eyes slid across to Merlin who was also looking at the writing with a somewhat amused expression on his face before putting the worry out of her mind. She had been worried that he might find the name offensive but he just looked vaguely amused so she shrugged it off and entered the store with Merlin a step behind her. This time no sales clerk was present to ask them if they needed any help but Arturia was alright with that and she could see that it looked like they were busy helping out a stressed looking blond woman at the counter. The green-eyed girl glanced around at the selection and was pleased to see that it catered to both grown women and elder teenagers. Walking into the racks of clothing after grabbing a small shopping cart Arturia began to pick out clothing carefully. As she gathered her choices Merlin would occasionally put something in that he thought she would look good in, things a bit more girly than she was used to but he had a good eye in clothing as proven by his choices in his own clothing so she let him do what he wished. By the time thirty minutes had passed she had a good selection of clothing and even tried on what she had been unsure about before going to the cash register with the pile of clothing.
Merlin once again mentioned her underclothing but Arturia explained that she would have to go to a separate store to get some… she was awfully tempted to go to Victoria Secrets just to see how he would react to such a place. Again not wincing at the high price of around three thousand pounds, most of which paid for the lovely black ankle-length coat she grabbed as soon as she saw it, Arturia then took the bags noticeably smaller than Merlin's own purchases and dragged him out of the store as he looked to be close to protesting the 'small' amount of clothing. It was not until they were once again in an alleyway so that she could put the bags into her satchel that Arturia explained that her clothing was both smaller and not as bulky as his that he let up on it.
"Now," She stated briskly as she stepped out ahead of him after making sure that no one was watching the alleyway. "We both need to get some underclothes. I know of a few places but as you said as a noble I need good quality clothing. That means even under clothing. So that crosses out a few places and leaves maybe two to three left. The closest one is just down the street and they sell male underclothes as well." Merlin blinked and turned to look at Arturia as she made her way down the street. She did not see the surprised look on the handsome face as he scurried after her.
"Er…" Merlin began then paused as Arturia shot a questioning look over her shoulder at him. She blinked at the confused look on his face before raising a brow in question. "I don't wear underwear."
Arturia squeaked then went red as just what he said crossed her mind. She stuttered at him for a moment before scowling and whipping back around almost hitting him with the end of her ponytail. Merlin just laughed and followed her as she stomped across the sidewalk to the next store. Arturia was so flustered that she made her way into the store without waiting for him, almost swinging the door closed in his face. The half incubus did not particularly mind however as he had been messing with her and just kept an eye on her as she stomped over to the section of the wall that was decorated in what he would call scraps of lace but knew was rather risque underclothing of this era.
Merlin was about to make his way to his little lover when he was suddenly cut off by a very curvy woman in what appeared to be the stores uniform. The brunette woman wore a flirty smile on her conventual pretty face and her brown eyes were not dull but the white-haired man had little interest as she began to subtly flirt with him as she asked about why he was in the store in the first place. While once upon a time he would be flirting right back with impressively raunchy suggestions the Magus was pretty taken with his new little lover and did not want to ruin his chances to bind the small woman to him completely, hey he was truly a half-blooded demon so why would anyone be surprised by his possessiveness towards the very pretty young woman who saved him from a lifetime of confinement on the edge of the world? So with a slightly fixed smile on his face, Merlin pointed to Arturia who was glancing at some particularly risque sets of underclothing with a bemused look on her aristocratic face. The brown-haired woman glanced almost dismissively at the green haired teen as the Magus of Flowers stated in a peppy tone:
"I'm just here with my little love, Isn't she pretty?!" The woman's smile became fixed as she eyed the younger woman with a pout and an inner whine about some little rich girls being so lucky with incredibly handsome men before looking back as said man. For a moment the woman wondered if she could seduce him away from the little girl but decided with a resigned air that he looked entirely too interested in his significant other to likely stray from her. Which was really too bad as he was one of the most handsome men she had ever seen.
"I see, well if either of you needs assistance there is the clerk station just down there." The brunette woman stated before walking off, not even introducing herself which left a rather bad impression on the half incubus. He had realized that she was quite attracted to him however it was too bad for her that he had gotten snared in the pretty green-haired witches enchanting eyes and body. With her, there really was no need for anyone else, especially one that smelled of several other males.
The tall white-haired male made his way over to Arturia who was holding up a pretty sapphire number that he noted would look quite good on her and was conservative when compared to the rest of the store. She glanced up at him as he walked up, a small half smile on her face as she tossed the item into the shopping cart before looking around at other ones. Merlin took a peek into the basket and saw several more sets of underclothing in various shades just about as conservative as her other choice. A part of him was disappointed until he saw some things almost buried underneath the regular pile that looked to be bits of lace fabric bound by silk string. A flush came to his face when he realized that one of the lacy bits where almost the same color and shade of his eyes. A wicked smirk came to his face then.
With one of his long fingers, he pulled at the lacy amethyst colored underclothing and then brought it up to where he could get a good look at it. His eyebrows rose while a look of astonishment tinged with pure lust crossed his face as he stared at what his mind helpfully named a 'thong' and a bra set that was both almost see-through, though not quite but just enough to hint at her body, and the exact same shade as his eyes. Sliding said eyes over to Arturia he saw the slightly embarrassed look on her face as she looked at him out of the corner of her eyes. A small smirk lit his face as he eyed his lover with appreciation before decided to not comment, the telling bulge in his pants was clear enough on what he thought about her choice. Smirking at the girl he gently tossed the articles back into the basket with a lewd look aimed at her body making the teen flush all the more before he turned back to the wall of 'undergarments'. He pointed out a few pieces that would look good on her while not making her look like a whore. He was more attracted to restrained subtle seductions rather than blatant ones after all... well at least with her anyway.
He helped her pick out several more sets of underclothing, making sure to compliment her every so often as he pointed some out. Then he was dragged into the night ware section… which he blatantly drooled at when he caught sight of some of the more sheer variety. Arturia rather shyly grabbed some of the ones that would look good on her and then grabbed some silky slips that were more in line with what she normally wore to bed. Then two sets of regular silk pajamas that were for when it got cold out. In the end, the basket was almost halfway full and Arturia was blushing brightly from some of his more colorful comments. The brunette woman was manning the cashier desk and gave Arturia a sidelong look of question when she saw the green haired teen with the unnaturally pretty man. She saw said white-haired man give her an annoyed look before mentally pouting while ringing up the purchases.
This time the total came out to three thousand five hundred pounds. Arturia paid it without much thought as Merlin was running a hand up and down her back and whispering rather naughty things into her ear. Apparently, he had gotten a bit too much stimulation while watching her pick out her underclothes. Brushing the thought off, however, Arturia grabbed a few of her bags as Merlin grabbed the majority. A tiny smile crossed the teen's face as she watched the man open the door for her. He may be a horny arse hole but he was a gentleman of a horny arse hole.
The two once again made it to another alleyway where Arturia put away her purchases only for a large male hand to grab her and stop her from leaving the alleyway after she was done. Arturia blinked then glanced up at Merlin who held her upper arm gently but tightly as he stared down at her with dark amethyst eyes.
"You were teasing me in there weren't you?" The half incubus asked as he backed up the small teen until she rested against the stonewall of the alleyway. The green haired young woman inhaled sharply as her back met the wall and his front pressed tightly against hers. Arturia could feel his arousal pressed tightly against her belly and flushed with embarrassment when she felt her own body respond to his. Her face turned a dark red as the white-haired males other hand slid down her side to her hip, coming to rest on the gentle swell of the side of it. Merlin smirked down at her then took her mouth with his own. He kissed her roughly for a long moment, making the teen forget for a long few minutes that they were out in public before she felt his hand slid under her dress. Arturia's bright green eyes snapped open and she made to protest but froze when his long fingers slid against the crotch of her underwear.
The teen let out a moan into the tall man's mouth as he stroked at her through the thin fabric of her underclothing. The green haired teen gasped as his hand moved from the crotch of her panties to the upper hem of it, thinking that he was going to pull them down Arturia allowed him to slid his hand up. She, however, was not expecting him to suddenly grip the warn fabric and rip it swiftly along the seams of the hip area. She didn't quite get to see what he did with it before her mind was more occupied by what his hands and later other things, were doing to her more than anything else.
Several minutes later the white-haired man was zipping up his pants as he allowed the rather exhausted teen to rest against his chest. Merlin conceded that he might have been a bit… er… rough on the teenager as it was only the first day after the loss of her virginity along with the fact that he pounced on her rather constantly but in his defense, he had been starving for several hundred years locked away in a tower. Brushing back a few strands of her long hair the half incubus admired the way the green strands shown in the dull light of the alleyway before he glanced down at his dear little mistress. Arturia still had the flush of a good orgasm across her face while she panted quietly trying to catch her breath. He could also see a bit of liquid trailing down her legs that made something like masculine pride surge up as his eyes watched a trail of it slid down her thigh. Taking out a scrap of cloth that he kept for a handkerchief Merlin whipped at her thighs and inner legs, cleaning her gently before sliding the soiled cloth into his back pocket. He would burn it latter as he did not want a repeat of what happened to his King happen to him. Sliding Arturia's dress back down the Magus straightened her clothing a bit before looking her in the face again as she came back to herself.
"You did not have to rip my undergarments you know!" The Witch hissed under her breath as she flushed brightly when the telltale wind against her nether regions made her quite well aware that she was no longer wearing under clothing. Merlin just raised a brow and looked at her with a slightly amused look while he pushed a strand of his long hair behind his ears, which she just now noticed where under a glamour of some sort making them appear to be gently rounded like a normal human ear. Rubbing her legs together a frown crossed her face as she felt her thighs touch each other without any cotton in between them.
Merlin just smirked and stated that he would be keeping 'it' as a souvenir as he waved the torn scrap of maroon fabric in her face before sliding it into his pants pocket. Arturia just watched him with an exasperated face then reached into her bag to pull out a pair of underwear that she had just bought but was distracted by Merlin grabbing her arm and pulling her out of the alleyway after dismantling a ward that she only now noticed. He had apparently thrown it up before their little trist so that they would not be interrupted. The green haired teen made to protest but did not have the time to as the tall male dragging her pulled her out into the open.
Arturia glared slightly at Merlin before sighing and trying to ignore the odd feeling of not having underclothing on. Releasing a deep breath the teen followed the half incubus down the road as he glanced about with inquiring eyes. The green haired girl watched in slight interest as Merlin paused for a scant few moments until he finally found whatever he was looking for then proceeded to drag her over to a rather nice looking cafe that was not overly crowded. Remembering that both of them had hardly had anything classified as 'real food' that morning Arturia mentally noted that she too was getting rather hungry so she allowed the tall man holding her arm gently to lead her over to the small cafe.
As the approached the rather tiny brick building Arturia once again noticed the attention that the half incubus was incurring as he strode towards the glass door, leading her along beside him. A minuscule half smile crossed her lips as she eyed some of the women (And men if the truth be told) gape silently at the inhumanly pretty male. Really, it was no small wonder that they had not yet been accosted by one of the moony-eyed crowed yet. Arturia was not aware that Merlin was rather specifically giving off a 'Not Interested' vibe as he did not really want any interruptions of his 'Courting' of her. Not that she knew that of course, and he rather keep it that way until he was absolutely sure that she could not escape him, only then would he allow other men around her or women around him.
After opening the door and guiding the smaller form of his lover into the cafe Merlin looked around the compact room then spotted a rather lovely alcove that held a tiny two-seater table. Deciding rather quickly that it would be best to keep out of immediate sight of someone walking into the room the white-haired male lead the teen to the table before pulling out a chair for her. Arturia looked slightly startled at the kind courtesy that he gave her, unknowingly making him even more pissed off at just about everyone in general in her life, but then smiled up at him with a soft look on her angular face. Returning the soft look Merlin went around the table then plopped himself down on the other plush chair with more grace than one truly had a right too.
In only a few moments a hurrayed looking waiter came over to take their order. He was young, perhaps no older than Arturia herself and looked to have had quite a hectic day. His blond shaggy hair was sticking up like he had been pulling on the honey-colored strands while his bright amber eyes darted about looking slightly on edge. While taking their order, A spicy tea for Arturia along with a breakfast sandwich while Merlin got a pot of earl gray tea and a bowl of oatmeal, he nearly dropped his pen three times before rushing off like the hounds of hell were about to leap upon him. The two Magus's shot each other a look before Arturia just shrugged. She really did not care to wonder just what was wrong with the man but he was making her slightly nervous with his jumpy act. Merlin, on the other hand, wondered just when whatever had been following them for the last few hours would make an appearance.
He did not have to wait long. Not even a second after the thought crossed his mind an elderly gentleman with rather distinguished looks and bright blood red eyes plopped down at the table just a few feet away from their own. Arturia froze as she glanced over and caught sight of the male while Merlin just looked at him with a rather quizzical look on his face. Taking in the almost grin on the elderly males face Merlin felt his own sense of a fellow troll ping.
For a long moment there was only silence, until the Vampire, for that was what he was, spoke.
"Magus of Flowers." He stated in a friendly open tone.
"Kaleidoscope." Merlin nodded back with the same friendly tone.
Arturia wondered just who cursed the Potter line and if she could somehow resurrect them before killing them again as she looked at the two most troublesome Magus's to ever walk the earth Smile at each other. The green haired girl barely withheld a whimper that wanted to crawl out of her throat. Just what had she done to deserve this?!
A/N: I am soooo sorry that this took so long. Quite frankly a number of things piled up, not the least of it being that I had to go get another tooth removed then being told that I will likely have to get caps on nearly all of them if I don't want them to rot in my mouth at a later date. Apparently, it was not just my wisdom teeth that were the problem but I also have brittle teeth period. Also, A lot of ideas just would not leave me alone making me write them out and plan them so it took me a while to get back into the swing of writing this. *Sigh* A lot of personal issues have also caused me to swing between depression and my normal moods. Anyway, I am working on everything and it may be a bit late on some of my stories but I have not abandoned anything. It may take me a while to write more but I am writing so please don't be too angry with me. Thank you for reading and I hope you have enjoyed it. Please drop a review or a PM if you have any questions or would just like to say how you like the story so far.
