Nimue enjoyed the quiet of this world, at times. Mordred had gone to bed already. She was sprawled out over the couch, book in hand. Most of the lights in the apartment were out, but she had a lamp on the end table providing illumination for her to read.

She could hear Mordred's quiet breathing in the next room, and was glad to know he was safe. This world afforded them more certainty, which was a blessing. They didn't have to worry about Uther's knights raiding them in the middle of the night. She wasn't bound to a fate that she needed to follow through on. They could make their life into what they pleased, and that's exactly what she was doing.

	Merlin did get flustered when he saw her in the dress. He blushed and turned away. "Um, hey, we need to talk, Nimue." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smirked. "Do I need to put on a sweater first?" she teased, amused by his inability to even look at her. "Perhaps a parka?" She stepped back, letting him inside. 'We need to talk' wasn't exactly the most inspiring conversation starter. Maybe she should be a little more careful. "What is it, darling?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Merlin laughed a little, looking at her. "You're beautiful, just surprised me a little bit." "Nothing too serious, just. Can we sit down?" He didn't know how long this discussion was going to take and he didn't want to stand the whole time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled when he looked back up at her, pleased by his compliment. "Mm," she said, walking over to the couch and sitting down. She didn't stretch out this time, giving Merlin room to join her. "What's on your mind, love?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He walked over and sat next to her, one knee up on the couch so he could face her better. "Arthur wants me to move to the castle. He's actually convinced the queen to take me in as a ward," he bit his lip, waiting for an answer. He had no idea how she would react to this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Nimue raised an eyebrow. "As a ward?" she repeated. Nimue had expected Arthur to suggest Merlin live in the castle as a servant of some sort. But he was to become a royal ward? "Merlin, that's.. That's really.." She honestly wasn't sure what to say. "It sounds like things are going well between you and Arthur. Maybe he's finally starting to grow wise." She knew one day Arthur would appreciate Merlin, but she thought he would have more grey hairs before that day came.

	"Things have actually been better since he learned of my magic. I think not having to hide things from him and lie to him made him trust me more." He shifted a little uncomfortably. "It's nice, I just feel strange about leaving you. And Mordred. I like living close to you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Nimue shifted on the couch, moving to lean against Merlin and cuddle into his side. "It's hardly 'leaving', darling. It's nice having you across the hall, but you would still be able to get here just as quickly," she said, fingering the necklace she had given him that allowed him to teleport to her side at will.

"And you will always have a place here... Though, I suppose there would only be one bed between the two of us.." She still occasionally teased Merlin, though she didn't push hard. She had agreed to move slowly out of respect for him, but she had to throw him a line every now and then to let him know she was still interested.

	Merlin smiled, "I guess your right. It's not hard for us to reach each other" Merlin blushed lightly but moved a little closer to her. "Maybe that wouldn't be a problem." He knew she had been wanting to move forward and he wasn't really seeing any more reasons to put up any defense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think Arthur worries about losing your attention. This could make him feel more secure. And you might enjoy living in a castle." She smiled. "Stranger things have happened." She turned toward him, nuzzling his neck. "Really now?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He can be insecure for a prince." He said laughing. He put an arm around her, pulling her close. "I mean, if it's not a problem for you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toloveuncharmed 2011-06-19 07:31 pm UTC (link)
	"For what it's worth, Merlin, you don't need to worry about any insecurities from me. Mordred and I will be fine here." She smiled, draped over him now. She was closer than she had been to him in some time, the contours of her body pressed against him. "It isn't a problem for me, no," she purred. "You know how I feel, Merlin."

	Merlin took a deep breath. He'd never really had a girl this close to him. "I. I love you, Nimue" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toloveuncharmed 2011-06-19 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	Nimue smiled. She had loved him for a long time, and had told him so before. This was the first time he had said it, though. "I love you too, Merlin." She stroked her fingers over his cheek, looking into his eyes. "More than anything." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He could feel his heart flutter a little when she said that and thought, 'I am such a girl'. He leaned in and kissed her. It was nice. Very nice (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She kissed him back, her eyes closing. "Darling, Mordred's asleep. If you'd like, you could stay here tonight." She'd gotten a machine that made white noise to help Mordred sleep. It had 'nature sounds' that made him feel more at home. It would also help drown out any noise that she and Merlin might make. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Merlin smiled at her, he looked at the door. "Okay. I would like that." He kissed her again. (Reply to this) (Parent)
