Title: Shooting Stars
3rd person POV
You walked around the castle, with a basket of laundry in your arms. A neighboring kingdom has come to Camelot to sign a peace treaty. And you were the lucky maid to serve the princess Adalaine. Don't let her long brown hair, and her crystal blue eyes fool you. She might be pretty. but her personality is quite the opposite.
" Y/N!" Adalaine yells from her cushioned bed.
" Yes miss?" You make sure to look at her, other wise it was "rude not to look at your superiors."
" Get me some food," the princess walks over to the window," I'm hungry."
Your eyebrows knit together, " are you sure miss? You just ate." You take a step away from the princess, knowing you should have not said that.
" Are you," Adalaine takes a step towards you, " calling me fat?" She crosses her arms across her chest, walking to you faster with each step.
" No miss," your eyes widen," not at all." Your body tenses.
" Good," She glares at you, lifting her head," now go get me some food." Adalaine points at the door. You nod, walking to the door, hearing " peasant." You stop in the doorway. You close you eyes, and inhale a deep breath, then continuing to walk to the kitchen. On your way, you pass Prince Arthur, your best friend. You and Arthur have known each other since you could walk. Your father was a knight in the Camelot army, your mom a maid, so you grew up in the castle. One night, you father went into war, where he died. For your mother, she died from sorcery. During those times, Arthur was there for you when no one else was. He understood what it was like to loose a parent. He understood your pain. As time past, you started to grow feelings for the blue-eyed prince. You couldn't help but fall for Arthur. He is willing to give up his life for his kingdom and friends. After your parents passed, Uther let you live in the castle. As you passed Arthur, you gave him a look, he laughed, walking over to you.
" Meet me in the usual spot." He whispers. Arthur and you, meet up everyday and take a trail ride though the woods, talking about your day, or something on your mind. Arthur always complains about Merlin, but deep down you know that he can't live without him.
" Yeah," you scoff, rolling your eyes, "bring some wine. I'm gonna need it after today." You sigh, shaking your head. Arthur just laughs. " I'm glad you find my pain, amusing." You turn, to look at him.
" Oh come on Y/N," He crosses his arm over his chest, "she really can't be that bad."
An exasperated laugh escapes your lips, " oh yeah, she's worse than bad ." You say, running your hands over your face. You sigh, " well I guess I have to get her more food." Your hands drop to your side.
" What?!" Arthur looks at you, a confused look on his face,"we had breakfast a half an hour ago." He looks at you.
You turn around," heh, I know!" You wave to the blue eyed prince, continuing your way to the kitchen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a day of hearing " Y/N do this." " Y/N, why did you do that?" " Y/N, I'm bored." " Y/N." Y/N." Y/N." All you want to do is complain to Arthur about how horrible Adalaine is, and relax.
" Alright Y/N, you can go for the night. Go do whatever you simpletons do in your free time." Adalaine, almost pushes you out of her room. Once her door shuts, you let out a sigh, running a hand though your h/c locks. You make your way back to your room before you meet with Arthur. You open the door to your simple room. White drapes hang from your bed, a dresser in the corner, next to a closet with a fire place. It's high class for a maid. Uther gave you a better room than most, your parents were friends with the king. You take a lilac cloak out of your closet, that goes with your white and lilac dress, then sit down on your bed for a moment, thinking about your day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You walk down to the edge of the forest, waiting for Arthur.
" Hello Y/N." A familiar voice says from behind.
" Took you long enough." You smile, nudging him.
" Hey," Arthur says smirking, " look what I brought." He holds up a bottle.
" You did seriously?!?" An amused smile crosses your face, laughing.
" Well," Arthur crosses his arms over his chest, " when you gave me that look, I know you needed it." He nudges his horse forward. We continue down the trail for a while until we reach a fork in the road. Arthur dismounts off of his horse.
" What are you doing?" A confused look crosses my face.
" Well, he says tying his horse to a tree, " I was thinking that we could do something different." Arthur walks over to my horse, seeming a little bit nervous, holding him while I dismount.
You raise your eyebrow at him, " like...," you tie my horse to a tree.
Arthur takes his hand in mine saying, " Y/N M/N ( middle name) L/N, will you go on a date with me?" I look into his sapphire eyes, full of emotion. A blue so clear you can see the loss, regret, stress but also the happiness,and carefree Arthur I've grown to like no love.
" N/N ( nick name)?" Arthur's blue eyes still looking into my e/c ones.
A huge smiles breaks out onto your face, " yes." You chuckle, as his eyes light up, his hair becoming an even gold color in the sunset's rays.
" Ha!" He scoops me up, spinning me around in the air. A squeal escapes your lips, not expecting that reaction, but loving every second of it. Arthur set's you back down, a pink glaze lacing his cheeks.
You gasp, " is that what I think it is?!?" A devilish smirk appears on your face.
" No! No, that was not a way to treat a lady." He looks at the ground.
"Good thing I'm not a lady,
you rest your hands on your hips,
I'm a maid."
" Come on," Arthur grabs your hand, breaking into a run.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arthur leads you down a secluded trail down the darkened, moon light trail. Rose petals start to sprinkle the trail, as we continue. Candle light reflect off the lake, flower petals float on lake. A rug is laying on the lake shore with two gold goblets and a picnic basket. Two gold plates are displayed, on the red and gold rug. You stop walking, Arthur turns around looking at you, when his eyes reach you. He grins from ear to ear. Your hands covers your smile, taking in what Arthur did for you. The blonde haired boy takes your little hand in his, leading you away from the woods, and towards the picnic with a devilish smile on his face.
" Art," you say, " this is beatuiful." You look around, adoring the rose pedals on the sand. He whispers something you can't hear, but continues to sit down.
Arthur's POV
Y/N looks around at what I set out for her. The candle light making her precious e/c eyes glow darker, but still illuminating a sparkle. She smiles at the ground, her H/L H/C falls slowly, as she sits down on the rug across from me.
" So, what is so bad about Adalaine?"
Y/N's POV
" So, what is so bad about Adalaine?" Arthur asks, the blue in his eyes becomes darker in the candle light.
I roll my eyes, " this morning she told me to look at her because ' it's rude not to look your surperiors.' Oh and when she let me go for the night she called me a simpleton." I say playing with my hands. Arthur's eyebrows knight together.
" Well," he clears his voice, " we're going to need to forget about today." He says, picking up the picnic basket. He puts on my plate a mix of veggies and meat. A confused look appears on your face.
" Is this what the knights eat." You laugh, not at him, simply with him.
" yes," he pauses, "that is what we eat." He points at the food.
" Hm," You say slightly amused, " I didn't know you guys have a special diet."
3rd person POV
Arthur and you eat the rest of your dinner, with a mixture of laughing, smiles, happiness. It was nice to get away from the castle.
" Sooo," you grab Arthur's hand, walking away from the rug, sitting down in the sand looking up at the stars. " What if you ran away?" You ask, turning to look at him, his eyes are big.
" Sometimes I think if I wasn't a prince what my life would be like, but I've never thought about running away. I don't think that's even a choice for me, if I ever thought about it." He shrugs. " What if you had magic, would you tell me?" He smirks, looking over at you. You turn back to the stars, thinking.
" Hmm, I don't know what I would do. You know I trust you but, hearing that might make the person harsh towards them, and you being prince you could put me in jail." You don't look at him. A star shoots across the sky," did you see that!" You sit up, looking at Arthur.
Merlin's POV
Arthur has been telling me about how much he wanted to ask Y/N on a date. Everyday I would listen to Arthur talk and talk about Y/N, so when he told me that he was going to ask her on a date today. I knew I had to do something special.
After the sun sets I look out the window, my eyes glow gold, I look up at the sky. Some shooting stars pass the lake above Arthur and Y/N.
1st person POV
" See what?" He asks.
" The Shooting star!" I say, eyes glued to the stars above. The two of us sit for a moment or two looking at the sky. " My mom always told me to make a wish whenever you saw one." I smile at the memory.
" there," Arthur points at the sky" I saw one." He chuckles.
" Okay," I lay on my side, facing him, " you have to make a wish." You study the features of his face. His blonde hair falls right above his eyebrows, Arthur's cheekbones show even in the nighttime. His blue eyes still a shocking blue.
" Okay," Arthur says looking into your eyes, a smile crosses your face, " I wish Y/N M/N L/N would kiss me." He smiles. Heat rushes into your cheeks, a small laugh escapes your lips.
" Ok..." I get cut off with a pair of soft lips on mine . I immediately melt into the kiss. My hands tangle themselves in the prince's hair, as he wraps his arms around my waist.
I pull away from the blue eyed prince, his eyes still wide.
" Maybe I should look for shooting stars more often." Arthur smirks. I laugh, resting my head on his chest, listening to his heart beat. I close my eyes, the sound of his heat calming me.
