    “We should pick a wedding date,” Arthur tells her over dinner. Gwen has made them homemade 鱼 and chips.
    “Got anything in mind?” she asks, actually surprised that he brought it up before herself.
    “Well, we could elope this weekend if that’s what 你 want,” he says, taking a bite of fish. “But somehow I don’t think your father would be too keen on that.”
    “Nor Morgana.”
    “Ah yes, her as well. Would October be too soon?”

    “Guinevere? Are 你 coming back out?” Arthur calls back. Gwen had gone to use the bathroom. He heard the flush, but she didn’t come back out to the living room.
    “Nope,” she calls back.
    All right, then. Arthur had been further perusing the book and the other materials Gwen had found. He walks back, book in hand.
    Gwen is lying on the bed, now wearing Arthur’s t-shirt. She is staring at the ceiling, 迷失 in thought.
    “Gwen,” he says, “listen.”

    “That was... unique,” Gwen says.
    “What, you’ve never made 爱情 on the floor, sandwiched between a sofa and a coffee table, before?” Arthur laughs, 接吻 the end of her nose. She is lying on 最佳, 返回页首 of him, still on the floor.
    “And 你 have?” She leans back slightly and raises an eyebrow at him.
    “Oh, yeah, all the time,” he teases. She bends down and nips his earlobe. Then she climbs off of him, picking up her clothes.
    He sits up and stretches his left...

    They lay together in Arthur's bed, neither speaking. Arthur caresses her back, gently stroking. He holds her hand against his chest. The 下一个 移动 is up to her, he thinks.
    Gwen is no longer crying. In fact, she is so still that Arthur wonders if she has fallen asleep. He angles his head down to look at her. She looks up at him, still awake, and he kisses her forehead. Reaching his hand over, he pulls open the drawer and withdraws the packet of tissues and removes one. Arthur lifts her face and gently wipes her tears. She smiles, a...

    A few 分钟 later she leaves his lap, helps him clean up, and they wander back to his bedroom. It is relatively early yet, and Gwen puts on Arthur’s t-shirt that she has stolen and Arthur puts on a pair of shorts. She helps him take his 衬衫 off.
    “Can I please leave this 吊绳, 吊索 off?” He is practically begging. “I don’t have to wear it to sleep tonight, honest.”
    “Okay. But be careful. I’ve been put in charge of 你 for the evening, 你 know. If I see 你 doing anything… suspicious, I’m slapping...

    Arthur had set his alarm clock for Guinevere, since she has to work again Thursday morning. He has to be back to the firehouse at noon as well, and he wants to make sure he sees her before she leaves this time. He is really getting accustomed to waking up with her in his arms, just as she as getting accustomed to waking up in them.

    He decides to leave her alone this time so she isn’t...

    Merlin hurries to Elyan’s house. If I can find the girl now, I won’t need to come up with a way to go with Elyan later, he thinks as he walks. He reaches the house and knocks on the door. Elyan opens it a moment later, candlestick in hand.
    “I had a feeling it was you, Merlin,” he says. He holds out the candlestick. “I was going to bring this with me when I returned to the castle. I saw she had left it on the table.” Merlin takes it.
    “Thank you. She missed it immediately,” he says.

    This is the longest walk ever. My 心 is pounding. The wedding wasn’t even this stressful.
    I can’t do this. I can’t do this. I can’t do this. Yet my feet keep advancing, one in front of the other. Towards the front. No. Towards Arthur.
    Focus on Arthur. He is there, he is waiting. My love. My husband. My husband. Oh my God, it still doesn’t seem real.
    Okay, kneel. Do I look up? Do I look down? Straight ahead? He looks so handsome, so… proud? Is he proud of me?

    Gwen turns on the shower. It is an amazing shower, with several showerheads all pointing different directions. She’s never seen anything like it, and smiles in anticipation as she reaches her hand in to feel the temperature before stepping in.
    There’s nothing worse than stepping into a spray of cold water, she thinks, wiggling her fingers under the water.
    Humming quietly to herself, she waits a few 更多 秒 to make sure the temperature is stabilized, and is just about to step in when she feels a pair...

    Arthur sends Gwen a text message Sunday evening. No calls today. Still alive.
    Monday comes and goes. He calls her around lunchtime to hear her voice. She can tell he is squirreled away someplace private to avoid the inevitable teasing he surely would receive should the other guys hear him. He asks after her day, telling her that since it is raining, he’s been spending his 日 playing video games. He tells her that he misses her. He attempted to make an egg 三明治 for himself that morning and he almost got it. His egg got all stuck...

It's going to get steamy up in here, y'all. You've been warned.

    Arthur takes another 淋浴 that afternoon. He is anxious about seeing her again and has spent most of the afternoon working out, just to pass the time. The time that seems to be mocking me with its slowness. He walks out the door at four thirty-five, knowing exactly how much time he needs to get to the library. He drove past on his way 首页 from the gym, even though it was completely out of the way.
    He walks through the doors at exactly four forty-five. She is behind the...

Gwen sits alone in the garden, watching the birds chirping away happily on a branch. It seems like a robin from far, but she is never good with birds, so she can only guess. But whatever the birds are, she isn’t interested in knowing them. In fact, she isn’t interested in anything at all. She’s been sitting down here since she finished her rounds with Mithian. Mithian has left to tend to her husband and had asked Gwen to tag along and meet Arthur. But Guinevere lied again, saying she wants to have a look at the garden instead. Mithian, despite feeling suspicious, fell for her words...

    “Dare,” Arthur mutters in Gwen’s ear, 接吻 her neck.
    “Arthur, we are in the middle of a restaurant,” Gwen protests mildly, pushing his shoulder lightly.
    “We’re not in the middle,” he says smirking at her. “I specifically requested a secluded booth.”
    “I thought 你 were being romantic, not perverted,” she says, a smile tugging at her lips now.

    12:28 p.m. finds Arthur sitting on a park bench beside a 鸭 pond. He sets a small shopping bag beside him and glances at his watch.
    “Did 你 honestly think I would be late?” a deep familiar voice says, a voice that seems to always sound tired 或者 irritated.
    “No. New watch. I like looking at it,” Arthur says as the other man sits beside him on the bench.

    Evening gives over to night, and passers-by look with interest through the front windows, mainly at the small group conversing in the leather chairs in the front. Annis has been talking animatedly with Arthur and Gwaine, and the trio make an interesting sight: the older woman, distinguished if a little Bohemian, completely engrossed in conversation with the two punks, who are equally absorbed. Add Guinevere’s sweet form in her red dress, now perched on the arm of Arthur’s chair, his arm around her waist, and people stare as they pass.

    “Gwen, I’m freaking out,” Merlin’s frantic whisper comes through the receiver.
    Gwen sighs. “First, stop whispering. Second, you’ll be fine, I promise. Mr. Gaius is a great person, I promise.”
    “But he’s Will Fucking Gaius, Gwen!”
    “Well, I don’t recommend 你 addressing him thusly when 你 meet him, but he’s actually very down-to-earth. Not superior 或者 posh at all. I promise. So breathe.”

    While Merlin is having his rather stunned conversation with Gaius, the phone rings at Excalibur again.
    “Calling back to yell at me some more?” Gwaine says into the phone, not even bothering with a hello.

    “Because no one rings here before 10 a.m.”

    “Let’s see if these guys are any good, shall we?” Arthur asks, sliding his new record from its cardboard 夹克 and paper sleeve, spinning it between his palms as he walks to the stereo.    “Not too loud, though, I’m trying to rest,” Gwen says from her place curled on the couch. Arthur’s brought her a blanket and a decent pillow, and Iggy has curled himself behind her bent knees.
