Hello people! So the second chapter is finally here (even when it didn't really take me that long) and I hope everyone will enjoy it. I also will apologize for the mistakes I made, but my first language isn't English so please forgive me. Oh and I'm terrible at writing fighting scenes, but it had to be in it so you all just have to life with it. And this chapter is incredibly long! Almost a 1,000 words longer then the first one... I got a bit carried away.. oh, well... And if you have questions about the ending, than please wait till next chapter, it will all be explained.

So enjoy this story and leave an review, they help me write quicker and can help improve my writing skills.

The men stood spread over the clearing, all staring at him and Arthur and Merlin couldn't help, but shiver under their glares. He shifted slightly closer to Arthur, his magic twitching under his skin, ready to defend if needed.

A small brown haired man was clearly the leader, an amused smirk on his face as he eyed Arthur. 'It's good to finally meet you, Arthur Pendragon.' The last name he almost spitted out. 'And of course it's also nice to meet your lovely husband.' In reaction Arthur grabbed, with his free hand, Merlin's arm, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

But Merlin barely noticed his husband's actions as his magic went on panic mode. 'They have magic!' He hissed to Arthur and the king clearly stiffened hearing those words.

'Are you s-.' He couldn't finish his words as a laugh filled the air.

The leader laugh was filled with a tint of madness. 'Yes, we all have magic. That was indeed a good observation, Em-Merlin.' He turned back to Arthur. 'I'm Jarl and these are my men and to immediately come to the point, we don't like you and we plan on doing something about that.' He looked to both sides, eyeing his men with a dark smirk on his face. 'You know what to do... attack!'

The men started to yell, unsheathing their swords, while golden eyes spread through the group.

Merlin had just a moment to process it all before he had to step forward and lift his hands, throwing a shield in front of him and Arthur to block an fireball. The king next to him already swung his sword to the nearing men, plunging Excaliber in the first man's chest before blocking a second sword. Merlin took a deep breath, letting his magic flow out of him as his eyes turned deep golden. His magic reached the man nearing him, throwing him against one of the trees and he could hear the sickening sound of bones breaking.

He saw a sword coming towards him from the corner of his eyes and he was forced to jump away, separating from Arthur and he immediately threw his magic towards his attacker. The man immediately turned back to him, his sword held high befoere it made his way towards Merlin's throat. 'Flint.' He screamed slightly in panic and he was just in time to create another shield.

A small smile crossed his lips, he and Arthur were a great team. He turned around to face the next enemy and as he turned he faced Jarl. 'I do not wish to fight you, Emrys.'

'Then why are you attacking us?' The warlock growled in return.

Jarl's hard expression softened slightly before he said. 'You can't possibly believe that a Pendragon could ever fully understand you, you should be with your own kind. A man like that would never allow you to reach your full potential, he's afraid of your power.'

Merlin didn't know if he should laugh or punch the man in the face. 'He loves me and I love him, we're meant to be together. Camelot has never been as great as it now is under Arthur's rule. The kingdom is at peace and magic is once again allowed.' The raven straightened his back. 'I will never leave him!'

Jarl's eyes darkened. 'I see... As you wish, but remember, I will not give up!' For a moment his eyes shifted to something behind Merlin before he added. 'We simply have to make someone who's willingly to fight for us.'

'What ar-' His words were cut off as he heard a heartbreaking shout and his head snapped around. His eyes grew big as he saw how Arthur hissed, blood streaming from a gash in his arm.

Merlin gasped before he wanted to run forward, but before he could do anything he felt something heavy meet his back, pushing him down to the ground and a shocked yell left his lips. Merlin immediately started struggling, but the weight on his back was too heavy and he was barely able to turn around to face his attacker.

He wanted to yell for Arthur, but as he opened his mouth something hard was forced against his lips and a cold liquid ran down his throat. His eyes grow wide in shock, almost immediately feeling the effect of the potion as his vision started to blur. He tried to keep his eyes open, staring at Jarl hanging above him as the man pushed another potion against his lips. He could taste the sickening sweetness of the potion and he wanted to gag, kick and scream, but his vision darkened even further. The last thing he registered was Jarl, placing a gentle hand on his cheek before everything turned black.

He could feel the soft warmth of the sunlight on his skin, brushing his face and he slowly opened his eyes. It took him a moment before he realised where he was, home, and another second before he remembered what had happened. 'Arthur.' He whispered and he sat upwards, trying to ignore the headache, and his eyes snapped through the empty room. 'Arthur!' He yelled, fearing the worst.

Big tears started rolling down his cheek, his hands tightening themselves in the sheets before the door slammed open. Merlin jolted up, pushing his back against the headrest, but as he stared at the sight in front of him his muscles relaxed somewhat and he met two big blue eyes. 'Arthur.' He whimpered and the king quickly made his way towards him, pulling him in a tight embrace as his whole body started to shake and he started to cry.

'SSshhh... ssshh...' Arthur tried to calm him down, gently brushing his back and he pushed himself against the blond's chest, searching for his warmth, comfort. A long time past before he finally calmed down, his loud cries turning to small sobs and eventually he quiet down. 'See... you're alright, I won't let anyone hurt you.' Arthur softly whispered to him as he placed a gentle kiss on top of Merlin's head. '... I love you... everything will be alright.'

'... Love you too.' Merlin mumbled before he buried his face even deeper in the king's chest. '... What happened?' Maybe the better question was how they escaped.

'Do you remember how you got knocked out?' He silently nodded and Arthur went on with his story. 'I saw you go down, but wasn't able to get to you in time to stop them for forcing you to drink that potion...' The blond's face hardened and Merlin could feel how Arthur's hands started to shiver in anger. 'I'm sorry I couldn't protect you... but the potion doesn't seem to have a lasting effect on you, maybe it was only to knock you out.'

'Probably...'

Arthur smiled softly. 'Not long after Leon's party came to our rescue, but most of them escaped.' The last he said with a slight hint of anger in his voice. 'The others have been pretty worried, you have slept for more than a day.' A snicker left the king's lips as he saw Merlin's eyes grow in shock. 'Especially Gwaine, the only thing he wanted to do was hunt those guys down and skin them alive, but Percy was there to stop his husband.' Arthur turned back serious again as he brushed through Merlin's raven black hair. 'How do you feel?'

'I'm still a bit tired and hungry.'

'Then stay in bed and get some more sleep while I get you something to eat.' He placed a gentle kiss on the raven's forehead before he pushed a somewhat struggling Merlin to the bed. 'And stay!' Arthur said with a stern voice, almost as if he was talking to a child.

And it was one of those rare moments that Merlin actually did what he was told and watched as Arthur left the room. A soft smile spread over his lips as curled himself deeper into the sheets, he was glad that he was home again, it felt safe, even when he still felt the fear deep inside his heart.

He sank back into the bed, closing his eyes as he felt sleep take over... not that he got the chance to sleep as the door slammed open and he jolted up, eyes snapping to the door. It seems like he had only a moment to realise what was happening before someone sprinted to him, scooping him up in his arms. 'You're alright!'

Merlin blinked in shock for a moment. 'G-Gwaine?'

He was pushed back as deer brown eyes looked at him with concern. The warlock watched them for a few more seconds before they shifted to the other man in the room. Percival smiled at him from behind his husband, relief clearly spread over his face. 'It's good to have you back.'

'Thanks.'

The next half hour was filled with Gwaine's tales, something about ale, taverns and Percival refusing him sex because he had done something stupid again, which still happens quite a lot.

It was not long after he felt himself dozing off again that Arthur came back in, a tray of food in his hands and Gaius not far behind him. The king shot Gwaine a glare, while Gaius rushed over to Merlin's side. 'Oh my boy.' He mumbled. 'How do you always get yourself in show much trouble?'

He grinned. 'It's a gift.'

'And I wish you didn't have it.' Arthur mumbled as he placed the tray on the table.

Merlin rolled his eyes before he turned his attention back to Gaius, who was checking if he hadn't missed any injuries. 'You seem fine.' He eventually said. 'I want you to stay in bed for the rest of the evening and go easy tomorrow... Merlin, do you understand?'

'Yes, yes, I understand.'

'Good.' Gaius answered before he turned to Gwaine and Percival. 'You two, out! He needs his rest.' Gwaine started to oppose, but he was quickly pushed outside by Percival as the physician's glare darkened. Once they were outside he turned back to the couple. 'I wish you a good night, Merlin, Sire.' He bowed once to Arthur before making his way out of the room.

Arthur stared from the disappearing Gaius to Merlin before standing up and grabbing the tray with food. 'After you eat something you will go to sleep.'

He eyed the tray for a moment before grabbing it. He quickly shoved a piece of chicken in his mouth, he hadn't realised how hungry he was. It didn't take him long before he finished the meal and Arthur tucked him in again... How old does Arthur think he is?

He watched the king for a moment before asking. 'Aren't you gonna join me?'

'I still have some work t-.' His words fell as Merlin looked at him with a pleading face and a deep sigh left the blond's lips. 'Stop seducing me, you have to sleep and I have to finish my work.'

'I'm not going to sleep without you!' Merlin replied as he crossed his arms.

'Fine, fine.' The king hissed through his teeth as he started to strip. Merlin smiled as Arthur climbed in the bed, throwing his arms around Merlin and they quickly locked eyes. 'Good?'

'Yes.' Merlin answered with happiness as he leaned in closer, snuggling into that broad, muscular chest. 'This is perfect.'

It didn't take long before he felt sleep pulling at his mind, but just as he thought that sleep was going to overtake him he gasped in shock. Suddenly it felt as if his whole body lit up in flame, the heat rushing through every part of his body and he started to pant heavily. His hands pulling on Arthur's shoulders. 'Merlin?... Merlin!' Arthur almost screamed in shock. 'What's wrong!'

'H-hot.' He mumbled before he pulled of the blankets, feeling slightly relieved as the cold air hit his naked skin.

Merlin's breathing got even faster as his desires started to change again, the lust he felt was starting to drive him crazy. He wanted... he needed... He could feel his cock starting to throb, so desperately needing attention.

He pushed himself upwards, lunging over Arthur as he started to passionately kiss his lover. 'M-Merlin!' Arthur asked shocked as he started to push the warlock away, but as that didn't seem to work he rolled over, pinning Merlin under him. 'Stop it, you're burning up!... Merlin, what's happening to you?'

Merlin stopped for a moment, tilting his head slightly to the side. 'I... I...' A deep red blush spread over his cheeks. 'I'm just so horny... Arthur, please take me!'

'Merlin, you just woke up and you're clearly not able to make such a decision!'

He whimpered slightly in return, so desperately wanting Arthur inside of him. 'Please, I'm so horny, I need you inside me, now!'

Arthur looked away as he tried to hide his blush, but he couldn't hide his clearly erected cock and after a few seconds he looked back. 'Are you really sure about this?'

'Yes, now do me!' Merlin roared as he bucked his hips upwards, against Arthur's erection.

The king leaned down, kissing him hard on the lips before he leaned to the drawer, pulling a small bottle out of it. He quickly coated his fingers in the oil as he reached down, brushing along Merlin's dripping member before going down to his tight entrance. Arthur kissed him once more before he pushed a finger inside.

Merlin hissed at first, feeling both pain and pleasure spread through him as Arthur started to move his finger. Soon a second finger was added, starting to scissor him. Merlin moaned at the touch, but at the same time he felt another heat wave spread through him, almost driving him crazy. 'Y... You in me now!'

'You're not ready yet.'

'Just do it!' Merlin growled at him.

Arthur looked once worried at him before he gave a quick nod and retreated his fingers. The blond grabbed Merlin's slender legs, pulling them upwards and laying them over his shoulders. Arthur quickly rubbed the remaining oil on his cock before guiding his member to Merlin's still tight entrance. He slowly pushed the tip inside and Merlin felt the pain from his stretching hole rush through him, it felt so good and the heat inside him started to turn into deep pure pleasure.

Arthur waited a moment for him to adjust before he pushed in further, slowly pushing himself all the way inside. Merlin moaned loudly, feeling himself being filled with Arthur's large dick, to him the most wonderful feeling in the world.

'Ready?' Arthur asked, in a voice that was mostly a deep moan.

The warlock stared at those blue orbs for a moment before a lustful grin spread over his lips. 'Always.'

He didn't had to say anything more as Arthur started to thrust and with every thrust he increased the pace. Arthur slightly changed the angle and Merlin screamed in pleasure as the cock hit his prostate. The only thing he could do was let Arthur fuck him, thrust in him with all his strength and that was also the only thing Merlin wanted, to be fucked by the man he loved

His loud moans filled the room, mixing themselves with Arthur's. He was nearly there, he could feel it stirring in his lower belly and he knew Arthur was also not far from release.

Arthur trusted in one more time, pushing as deep as he could before he released his hot seed deep inside Merlin. The warlock came at the same moment, arching his back as his white liquid stained both their chests.

Merlin froze for one more moment before his body went limp and darkness overtook his mind.
