A/N: Merlin's POV
I wrapped my arms tighter around Primrose as she slept. She looked so peaceful asleep in my arms. You would have never thought that just a few seconds before that she had been divulging her most painful feelings. I kept thinking about her face as she told me about her parents. You would have thought all that had happened to her. I almost hated myself for making her bring it all up.
The moonlight was dancing on her hair and she looked so beautiful. She snuggled closer to me so that her head was neatly nestled under mine. And she just looked so -beautiful. And innocent. I just couldn't help myself. I leaned in and kissed her on the forehead.
She started to stir a little and I quickly moved my head back, thinking I had been caught. Fortunately she didn't wake up, she never even had a clue I did it.
But that left me with other things to think about. Why did I just do that? I couldn't have feelings for her. Well, I could but it wasn't a good idea. We literally came from different worlds, different times, and I'd be back in mine in a week. And then she would be here, alone again.
I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't be the next person to hurt her, so I vowed to myself that whatever feelings I had I would stuff down inside and never speak of them to her or anyone else.
