Merlin x gn reader

❃❃❃❃❃

"You could have died!" Y/n wasn't usually one to raise their voice, especially not when Prince Arthur was within ear shot, but they couldn't help it. Merlin stood in front of them, a sheepish look on his face with a serious glint in his eyes.

"I'm sorry but it's my-"

"Your destiny, yes, I've heard it a thousand times!" Their voice grew quieter as they spoke, again mind on Arthur being within earshot. Y/n shook their head, taking a deep breath as they took another step towards Merlin.

"You mean so much to me Merlin, you know that, and I understand that it is your destiny to protect Arthur but please, think about someone else." They could feel the tears welling up in their eyes, willing them to go away. "Think about the life we have in front of us, the wedding and the home we are going to create when we're back in camelot. Think about me."

Merlin was silent, unsure of what to say to y/n as they stood in front of him nearly in tears. Being related to the King of Camelot had often meant y/n's feelings remained their own, no one able to pierce their heart, but now stood in front of merlin, y/n's heart was on their sleeve.

Instead of allowing Merlin to say anything, overcome with emotions, y/n bid Merlin goodnight and took themselves to bed. Merlin watched them leave, Gauis in his head telling him what the right thing to do would be. Away from home Merlin realised that y/n most likely would be overly emotional, especially at the prospect of not even returning to Camelot.

As the night grew on, snores sounded around y/n as they lay in bed. Sleep evaded them, no hint of tiredness in their eyes as they lay staring blankly at the dying fire. A rustle alerted them to someone moving closer, hand inching closer to the dagger they kept under the blanket.

"It's me." At Merlin's voice they relaxed slightly but not fully, not after the way y/n had spoken to Merlin earlier in the evening. "Can I sit?"

"Yeah, whatever." Y/n was glad Merlin still wanted to sit by them but didn't want to appear that way, acting indifferent. There was a silence as Merlin took a seat, sitting close enough that he was slightly touching y/n, able to feel their warmth from under the blanket.

"I'm sorry." Y/n swallowed as Merlin spoke, his voice low so no one else could hear. "I'm sorry that I didn't think of you, that I don't think of you when I go into danger. It's hard, knowing there's someone who cares about me as much as you do, that-" Merlin's voice broke slightly, y/n turning round so they were now facing him.

"That I have a life ahead of me that isn't just my destiny, that isn't just protecting Arthur." He looked down at y/n, love in his eyes as he did so. It knocked the breath out of y/n, realising how much Merlin loved them.

"I understand Merlin, I really do and I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that, I just worry every time you leave to do anything. Not just that you'll die but someone will find out and I'll have to watch you die for the way you were born." Y/n signalled for Merlin to lay down, he did so and y/n moved closer so their head was nestled in Merlin's chest.

"I couldn't bear to lose you Merlin, not when we have a life together."

MANDDYYYYYY.<3 This fluffy goodness is for youuu. <3

(Y/F/S) - Your Favorite Song

Youalways watched Merlin shave in the morning, it was almost a routinein and of itself. He was so meticulous with it but he made it look soeffortless. It was a straight razor that he used because he loved howclose of a shave it gave him but that blade looked absolutelyfrightening. He didn’t know how long you’d been standing therewatching him but when he noticed, he laughed, “Something on myface?” he asked as he shaved a small portion of his neck.

Hewas busy cleaning the blade off in the sink when you asked, “Can Itry and shave you?”

Ofcourse, his eyes widened and he turned to get a look at you. Thereyou were, hands clasped together with a wide smile on your face. Hewanted to say no but he sighed and gave in, “You know, you’relucky you’re cute.”

Hemotioned for you to come closer explained all the technical jargonyou’d need to understand and do this properly, you didn’t want tonick the poor guy. He sat at the edge of the tub you both shared andyou knelt in between his legs, attempting not to shake. Your hand held the back of his head to support him but you were having a hard time keeping steady.  It was makinghim a little nervous, so he did what he always does when you werenervous. He sang (Y/F/S), his deep voice soothed you to the pointthat you could move in, taking a little bit of hair at a time.

Merlinwas laughing, instead of you using the small shaving bowl to wipe offthe excess shaving cream, you kept running back to the sink. You weresexy and adorable and he loved how you could pull both off at thesame time.

“Howam I doing?” you asked him, you were almost done. You just had hisright cheek left to do. He smirked and stood up to look in themirror, you couldn’t help blushing. His crotch was right in your faceand you had to turn your head to stop yourself from wanting to ripdown the zipper. As he sat back down, he noticed your reddened faceand grinned wildly.

“You’redoing amazing, (Y/N) but how’s about we finish this up and I take youto the bedroom for your reward.”

Youbit your lip and a giggle escaped you, “Yes please, Hamish.”

So,that was how you spent the morning, shaving Merlin and havingunbelievable sex afterwards.
