Summary
Arthur’s voice was barely above a murmur, roughened by exhaustion and something deeper. “Let me make you feel better.”
Merlin exhaled shakily, his pupils blown wide, his breath warm against Arthur’s lips. “You already have,” he whispered, but he didn’t resist when Arthur’s hands slid lower, fingers pressing into the dip of his waist, steadying him.
“Not enough.” Arthur’s words were quiet, but there was an edge to them—a promise, a plea, something neither of them had the strength to deny anymore.
----------
In the aftermath of a brutal battle, Arthur finds himself face-to-face with Merlin, alive but wounded, their bond tested by the chaos of war.
Amidst the silence of victory, they share a moment of raw, desperate connection, as their unspoken feelings finally break free beneath the weight of everything they've survived.
