Chapter Two
Arthur rode into the darkness of the woods and he did not notice the brown haired boy following his trail. William did not sleep that night, he did not trust Arthur and it displeased him when he found that that Arthur and Merlin were going to be sharing a bed. He never understood why Merlin left, he did not think differently of his friend. Despite all that, right now, he is just curious to why Arthur was going out at this time of night in this night clothes.
William was a sensitive fellow and extremely quiet. He tracked Arthur until Arthur stopped in front of a lake. The moon light was shining down upon Arthur as he took off his night clothes, revealing this toned chest and arms. William felt that his cheeks flushed and he wanted to look away, but the overwhelming urge to know what Arthur was going to do was too great. With a deep breath, he maintained his eye contact.
Arthur had his eyes closed and he seemed to be deep in thought, slowly, he took off his pants too. It revealed his raging hard on. William almost gasped audibly and his face flared up. That is what Arthur of all people choosing to do at this time of night? He was sleeping right beside Merlin too! Instead of what William thought Arthur was going to do, he walked towards the lake and sunk his body into the cold water.
Arthur sunk his head beneath the water and held his breath. He often did this to calm down. The coolness of the water did help his heat, however, he could not get the image of Merlin out of his head. No matter how much he tried. Maybe I should just... Slowly, he emerged out of the water. After all, he was alone and it has been so long since we was even close to doing anything of the sort. He walked to shore, his cock still up from thinking about Merlin and he decided to place his hand on his cock head and squeeze it. The pressure was needed and he started to stroke up and down.
William couldn't believe what he was seeing, and he wasn't sure about what to he keep staring at the sight of Arthur? Or look away? He wanted to keep an eye on Arthur, just in case something were to William would figure out what to do, Arthur decided to moan out, "Oh Merlin." and it froze William. So this is what this is all about. Oh god. He was rivaling a prince? A prince that Merlin served? His feelings for Merlin were buried deep. He did not want to burden his friend with it, Merlin already stressed out enough with his secret magical powers. His heart broke when Merlin left their little village. But this? Now William was afraid that Arthur was going to steal Merlin away. But Merlin does not even belong to you. A voice whispered in his head. That is not important, he decided. By the way things are progressing, Arthur has obviously not told Merlin yet.
When William focused back on Arthur again, he was just about to climax, the sight heating up William's cheeks. Arthur spread his legs out and formed a ring with his slender fingers and he was bucking into his fingers while his other hand played with his balls with abandon. The white liquid exploded accompanied by a strangled sound coming out from Arthur's throat. After taking a few deep breathes, he dipped himself back into the river while William headed back into the village. Arthur was under the water again, his tears were one with the water and he promised himself that no one would be able to see it.
His heart was filled with sorrow, he was a future King and he is supposed to be the perfect knight in shiny armor, accompanied by a fair skinned princess shimmering with beauty. His father would already be furious because he has feelings for a servant, let alone a man. And he did decided to hide these feelings forever and never let Merlin see them. This would be the first and last time Arthur thought about Merlin in this way.
Or so Arthur tried to promise himself.
