Rose was waiting for them at the top of the stairs, the moment she saw the horses enter the courtyard she ran down to meet them. "Lady Lilly!" Lilly smiled and got down from her horse. "Rose, you have no idea how good it is to see you." Lilly gave her friend a hug. "It has only been three days my lady." Rose said confused. "It's a long story, I'll tell you everything later. Right now you might want to say 'welcome back' to a certain knight?" Lilly used her head to point to Leon. Rose quickly ran away to meet Leon.
"Rose." Leon said pleasantly surprised when he saw the girl walking his way. "Sir Leon." "I would like to thank you again for the wonderfull gift you gave me rose. Lilly told me how much work you put in it. I will cherish it with my life." Leon said playing with the wristband. Rose's cheeks grew a bright shade of red. "It's nothing Sir." "Please, call me Leon." Rose could not have looked happier. "It was nothing, Leon. So how did it go with those awful, you know…" Rose started "We defeated them. The prisoners were freed and the criminals were killed." Leon had known what Rose didn't want to say. "Good. I'm glad to see all of you safe and unharmed. And it even had a positive effect on Lady Lilly and Sir Gwaine I think. By the looks of things." Gwaine had just escorted Lilly back inside with a protective arm around her waist. "Oh it did. After Gwaine saved her he hasn't left her side." The both of them were now walking in the meadow. Rose stood still, shocked. "Saved her, from what?" "She didn't tell you?" Leon asked. "No, she told me to go and say hello to you." Leon chose to shake of that last comment and tell Rose what had happened. "Let's find a spot to sit down, and I'll tell you everything." The sat down underneath a tree, Rose curled up to Sir Leon. Leon started to tell Rose what happened, leaving out some of the scary details. Not even halfway through he felt her hand grasp his and holding it tight. "When the fight was over Gwaine took Lilly in his arms. Now I've seen him kiss a few girls in the tavern, but none like this. I think he's really in love with her." He ended his story, Rose had curled up to him even more, their faces were very close. "He was beside himself with worry when he found out she was gone." Leon tried to sneak his arm around Rose. "Have you ever been so worried about someone?" Rose asked. "Almost." Leon's arm was now around Rose, pulling her closer to him. "Almost?" Rose asked confused. She put her hand on his chest, trying feeling his muscles beneath the heavy chainmail. "When I got to protect you." Leon's spare hand had found a way to Ros's face. Both of them were slowly leaning in, all very carefull untill their lips met.
The kiss started innocent enoung, but it quickly turned passionate. Both of they were desperate to pull the other as close as they could. Leon rolled them so that Rose was lying down and he was on top. Carefull not to put any of his weight on her and making sure she was comfortable, he deepened the kiss even further.
"Let's get you to Gaius. I know you said you were fine, but a short visit won't hurt." Gwaine said to Lilly once they were back in the castle. "I'm fine Gwaine, really. There is no need to bother Gaius." Lilly protested. "He won't mind c'm on." Gwaine tried to wave her into the right direction, but Lilly didn't budge. "We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. But you're going to see Gaius." Gwaine said walking towards Lilly until their bodies touched. Lilly said nothing and was being stubborn. "Alright, have it your way." Gwaine said, lifting Lilly of her fee tand hoisting her on his shoulder. "What, Gwaine! Put me down!" Lilly screamed. "Not until you swear to come to Gaius." Gwaine said teasingly, and he started walking.
Lilly's scream was heard by Percival who was still close enough to hear noise, but not what she said. He only reckognized her voice and ran towards it. When he saw what was happening he just laughed and started to walk behind Gwaine. "Lady Lilly, if I may ask what are you doing on Gwaine's shoulder?" He politely asked, trying not to burts into laughter. "I'm trying to prove a point." She said, clearly annoyed. "And how's that going?" Gwaine teased. "Not well, now put me down!" Lilly yelled. "Are you going to run?" "With you and Percival here that would extremely foolish, now wouldn't it." Lilly said. "Alright." Gwaine put her down, the moment her feet touched the ground Lilly started running. She got in three steps before Percival sweeped her off the floor with one arm. Gwaine just stood there, smirking. "What, worth a try." Lilly said matter-of-factly. Percival and Gwaine started walking again. "You're a crazyperson." Gwaine said to Lilly. "And you're only now figuring that out?" Lilly shot back, making Percival laugh. "We're still bringing you to Gaius." Gwaine said. Lilly just let her head fall down in defeat.
Leon and rose were both panting for breath. "Have you ever kissed a girl in the tavern like that?" Rose teased. Leon laughed and rolled them around so she was on top. "I've never kissed a girl like that. Only you." Leon admitted, earning himself another heartfelt kiss. "You? Have you ever kissed anyone like this?" Leon asked, suddenly feeling very self-consious. Rose sighed. "You have." Leon let his head fall down in the dirt. "I'm sorry Leon. But it wasn't anything serious, not for him anyways. We were young and and I was foolish." Rose rambled. "Did you…, the two of you, did you have…?" Leon tried to ask. "I still have my virtue, if that's what you want to know. He wanted to bed me, but I never had the same urge as him. Only one man has me wondering about his bed." She decided to tease him a bit at he end. Leon softly stroked Roses side. "Really? And who's bed may that be?" He had clearly found his confidence back. "What kind of linnen does Percival have?" Rose teased. Leon rolled them around again, pinning her down to the grass. "Fine, it's you. It's you. I want you Leon."
"Told you I was fine." Lilly playfully pushed Gwaine once they were outside Gaius's chambers. "Then why didnt you come freely, if you knew there was nothing special?" Gwaine asked. "Its fun to rile you up." Rose teased walking backwards from Gwaine. "Is it now?" Gwaine grunted, cathing Lilly by her waist and pulling her close. "Hmmm. It is, because then you do things like this." They shared a kiss, starting tender and sweet, but growing more passionate by the second. Once they came up for air Gwaine rested his forehead against Lilly's. "I love you Gwaine." Lilly panted, Gwaine was shaking his head. "Lilly…"
"I do, I really do. I love you."
"Lilly, don't."
"Why not, I love you Gwaine. And I know you have feelings for me too." Gwaine stayed quiet for a moment. "You do right?" Lilly broke free from Gwaine's arms. "I am such an idiot." Lilly voice had broken, tears were welling up behind her eyes, and she started to run away.
"Lilly!" Gwaine shouted, then ran after her.
Lilly was fast and good at hiding, she was hiding behind the little wall. It was the same place as where he had kissed her afterr she had defeated him in their fight the first day in Camelot. Gwaine found her sobbing. "Lilly." He breathed relieved. "Go away Gwaine." "No, not until you let me talk." Gwain said stubbornly. Lilly said nothing, Gwaine took it as a sign to speak. "I love you too Lilly, I really do. But you shouldn't lose you're heart to me. I live a dangerous life, every queeste, every patrol, it's never certain that I will return." Gwaine was now crouching next to Lilly. "Dont you think I know how dangerous this all is? I was the one who got captured, or did you forget?" Lilly was mad again. "How could I forget the most terrifying moment of my life! I was kicking myself for not being able to protect you. Our first queeste together and I already failed." Both of them calmed down a bit, lilly placed her hand on Gwaines cheek. "You didn't fail. You saved me. I know the risks you face, and the bravery you face those risks with makes me love you even more. You don't even seem to think about any of those dangers. As long as the cause is true and noble, you are the first who's ready to fight. I know that, I know it is a dangerous life, but I don't care." Lilly assured Gwaine. "I love you." She said. Gwaine sighed and looked his love in the eyes. "Damn those beautifull eyes. I love you too." Gwaine said, then kissed her with everything he had.
"Leon, Leon, oh Leon!" Rose was panting and screaming as the strong knight was thrusting into her. He had taken her to his chamber and layed her on his bed. They undressed while kissing each other senseless and now Rose was lying naked on Leon's bed, legs spread wide while Leon was on top and making love to her. "Rose! Rose!" Leon panted. Rose let out a particular high pitched scream and Leon stopped. "Am I hurting you?" He asked quickly. "No, no, you're not. This feels so good Leon." Leon smirked then continued his actions. He had bedded a few girls after a long night in the tavern, but he never enjoyed it quite like this. Rose was definately special. He was kissing her neck while she was pulling him closer. Rose moved Leon's face to kiss him, tongues were swirling around. Rose was getting close and told Leon to pick up the pace a little bit. A few thrusts later Rose felt herself explode around Leon's member. Leon kept going for a few moments befere he too had reached his bliss.
The two lovers collapsed in eachother's arms. Leon held Rose close, softly stroking her. "I hope I didn't ruin your reputation." Rose joked. "What reputation?" Leon asked, knowing full well what she was talking about. "The famous loyal and honourable knight Sir Leon" Rose gushed while stroking Leon's chest, he pulled her closer. "Hmm, that reputation. I don't really care. As long as I can hear that last part from your lips some more." He started kissing her neck again. Rose started giggling. "Ooh Sir Leon."
