Prinboycess 2/2
"Err....not exactly Arthur," Merlin mumbled not sure how to quite explain it to this little Arthur. Arthur frowned as Merlin moved away from him. He lashed out, grabbing a hold of Merlin's ridiculously large ears. He tugged him closer so he could place a kiss on one of those sharp cheek bones. "You are my princess, Mewyn! Mine!"
Merlin was completely taken aback by the possessive tone in the small boy's voice. He stumbled through his next sentence, "...I...I'm not.....a girl though Arthur. Princess are always girls." Arthur's eyebrows drew together in child-like concentration. He's become frustrated and Merlin was fascinated at how much the expression was that of adult Arthur's.
"Fine then Mewyn," a slow, proud smile spread on his lips. " You are my prinboycess! See, I included that you weren't a girl!" Merlin can see he was fiercely proud of himself for coming up with such a term. He just couldn't figure out why Arthur was so caught up in Merlin being his princess.
"Arthur,...um....That.....erm...that," he stumbled through his words not sure how to seriously explain to the young child what he was implying.
"You don't want to be my prinboycess?" he frowned, tears welling up in his eyes.
"No!" he nearly shouted, frantically back tracking. He didn't want to make the little boy cry and truthfully if this was older Arthur asking him to become his prinboycess, Merlin would happily accept. "I'm more than twice your age, Arthur," he murmured. That seemed to perk the boy up.
"So if I become big Arthur again you'll be my prinboycess?"
"...We still wouldn't be able to get married," he said absently.
"But I love you!" Merlin froze. "When I become king I'll be able to do whatever I want! Which includes marrying my prinboycess!"
Face red, Merlin breathed, "Arthur." He wasn't sure anything he said could deter him. He was a stubborn prat even as a child! "Fine, I'll be your prinboycess!"
Arthur beamed up at him, taking a hold of his ears once more to place a sloppy kiss on his other cheek. If he was expecting a kiss in return the child didn't say. "Let's play hide and seek!" he said not even waiting for Merlin's answer before rushing off. Merlin covered his face with his hands, shouting into the slightly as he counted to fifty.
"Ready or not, here I come!" he yelled, jumping up and spinning in the direction the boy had run off in only the crash into a much bigger body. Calloused hands gently held his face still as lips descended on his. Merlin was to surprised to do anything but let the other kiss him. Finally, the other bored with Merlin's unresponsive lips and trailed kisses to his ear. "Mine," Arthur's voice breathed in before nibbling on his earlobe.
"Yes," Merlin whimpered, his ear being extremely sensitive. Arthur released the lobe to look at his manservant's flushed face and glazed eyes.
"I guess I should reward you for taking such good care of me," he said, a cocky smile twitching his lips. Merlin hummed in agreement before kissing the smirk off his face.
"I am your prinboycess after all!"
