❝ why are you crying this time? ❞ (from Merlin)

THERE WAS ALWAYS one stain that annabella couldn’t get out of one of merlin’s trousers  ,  and on the days she washed all of the clothes it drove her  c r a z y  .  of course he often tucked the bit that was stained into his boots and the only one that saw it was anna  ,  but it irked her when she did  .  she should have given up on it after attempting to scrub it out for over an hour  ,  but when she had tried to stand up she had gotten so dizzy that she quickly sat back down again  .  probably stood up too fast  ,  try again in a few minute  .

SHE SNIFFLED AND REACHED to rub her nose with the back of her hand when she heard footsteps approach her  .  dark eyes glanced away from the trousers and sniffed again before she smiled up at merlin  .  ❛❛ i’m not crying  ,  just sniffing  .  did you forget something this morning  ,  or are you home for the day  ? ❜❜

           MERLIN :

        He was painfully oblivious to Anna’s distress, the dogs behind their gate causing such a distraction as he poked his fingers into the spaces—they barked and nibbled and licked at his fingers, expecting morsels that he was so known for bringing. He grinned as he opened the gate. No one dared to go so far to play with the dogs… after all, their bark was typically much larger than their bite. But seeing as it was Merlin’s sole responsibility to feed and exercise the dogs, their was little fear in entering their quarters.

        Admittedly, he hadn’t given much thought at all to just how comfortable Anna might or might not be around the animals. He’d told her to follow her, excited for them to meet a new friend—his friend. The animals were curious, cautious, sniffing the air and watching for movement behind Merlin but still too distracted with the promise of potential treats to approach the girl just yet.

        And then the words broke out, Merlin turning fully with shock stealing his grin—and oh he hadn’t noticed it before but Anna was clearly SO uncomfortable. Acting quickly, he ushered the dogs back behind the gate, swinging the door shut even as one of the bolder puppies jumped up playfully.

        He turned back to Anna, more perplexed than anything else. “What do you mean you ‘don’t like dogs’?”

ANNABELLA LET OUT THE BREATH THAT SHE had been holding when Merlin closed the gate. There was not MUCH comfort in that, however, she could still see and HEAR the animals far better than she would have liked. Her teeth slid forward to worry her bottom lip when he turned back to her and her hands left her sides. She began to play with her fingers out of NERVOUSNESS in front of her, cheeks tinting pink before she finally met Merlin’s eyes.

❛❛ I... I DON’T LIKE THEM... THEY BITE YOU AND... and they chase you. ❜❜ Anna shook her head and looked back down at her hands. A mixture of FEAR and SHAME was filling her chest and her throat and making it difficult for her to breathe. She knew that for some people the beasts were loyal friends, but she had been on the wrong end of those jaws and of those growls too many times. She couldn’t trust them.

❛❛ IT’S VERY SCARY... ❜❜ SHE KNEW THAT THAT had sounded a bit CHILDISH, but she couldn’t think of another way to say it. She looked back down at the ground, reaching up a hand to pull one of the sleeves of the borrowed dress up her shoulder. She worried her bottom lip. Pathetic, pathetic.

❛❛ I’M SORRY, MERLIN... ❜❜

      ARTHUR.

He nodded when she said his name.  So at least they could understand that much.  This would make for an interesting day.  He wondered briefly about his men,  where they had ended up and if they knew any more than he did about this place.  Perhaps they’d found someone who spoke some English.

❝Annabella.❞  Arthur corrected himself with a sheepish smile.  He followed her gaze over to the open widow,  eyebrows raised in curiosity.  He awkwardly rose,  following her to the window as she held his hand.  He needed to relax.  Perhaps she wanted him to shut the window,   as he noted the others were shut with the curtains closed too.

THE PRINCESS SMILED ONCE THEY got to the window, leaning against the side of the window and peering out until she could see ALL of the men that had been found in the wasteland. It was very rare to find one man in the deserts, much less an entire GROUP of them, so they had all turned heads once they were found.

SHE PULLED ARTHUR CLOSE TO HER side, pointing to the group of them out in the sun with some of the women in the guard. Being as it was nearing midday the sun was bright enough that Anna was squinting when she looked out the window, but once his men decided it was too hot to be outside she wasn’t sure when they would all be together again.

ANNABELLA GLANCED BACK AT ARTHUR and gave him a small smile. ❛❛ Hun... Hungry ? ❜❜

16. Chest

He was crushed—

So many days now, he lived with the weight of what he knew was only inevitable. Every day was just another moment drawing closer to Merlin’s heart shattering, as though it wasn’t already being chipped away fragment by fragment with every opportunity he sat by her bedside, watching, supporting, bloody w a i t i n g.

She was coughing again and there’d be no miracle. No magic to cure her affliction, only time and pain and w a i t i n g.

Water dribbled from the rag into the bucket of cold water. He hadn’t even thought about it, he’d just moved, caring for Anna as he had been for SO LONG NOW on autopilot. And that thought only pained him just as much, that his mind would dare to tune out even one painstaking moment of this tragedy, that he wouldn’t suffer every second of this as Annabella was physically doing. It wasn’t right. It wasn’t fair.

He sighed quietly to himself, brow furrowed as he pressed the cool rag to his wife’s forehead. It didn’t ease the redness of her face or the violent fits of cough—nothing would.

His thumb grazed her cheekbone as he moved his face to her chest, kissing where he often heard her wheezes stir from. “Shh. It’s alright.” He lied to her, face lifting to look back into glassy green eyes. His fingers caressed again, lifted a strand of hair that had matted with sweat by her ear. The once brilliant red now a dark shimmering silver that he’d promised over and over that he admired just as much. “Can I get you anything, darling? Tea? Flowers? A kitten?”

[oftme-blog]

     GREEN EYES FLUTTERED OPEN when she felt Merlin’s thumb on her cheek and her mouth pulled into a smile. She chuckles, sure to keep it soft before she forced herself into another coughing fit in front of him. It was no secret between them that there would be no getting better this time, it had been a KNOWLEDGE that weighed heavy on her of months now when she first began to cough. She tried not to do so in front of Merlin for as long as she could, and now she tried not to show her discomfort to her husband as best as she could.

      ❛❛ YOU’RE TOO GOOD TO ME. ❜❜ She reached a hand up to take his, running her thumb over his knuckles slowly and letting them rest on her chest. ❛❛ You’ve always been to good to me, though… I suppose I should be getting used to it by now… ❜❜ She gave his hand a squeeze. He had always spoiled her, after all, from their first meeting to now. ❛❛ What if I told you I wanted a kitten, hmm ? ❜❜

     SHE WANTED TO SLEEP, but she still wanted to spend as much time with Merlin as she could manage, too. Her eyelids drooped for a moment, but she continued to smile. ❛❛ Do you remember that time with the sweet rolls ? I’d never been able to have them… and you got us so many we couldn’t finish them… ❜❜ She took a deep breath and nearly winced when she wheezed. It was getting harder to breathe as the days went by, but she tried her best not to let it show to her husband. 

      ❛❛ I LOVE YOU, YOU know. ❜❜ Anna gave his hand a second squeeze as her smile faded from her face. There was SO MUCH that she wanted to say, so much that was left to say between them, that she didn’t know where to start. She took a labored breath through her nose. Tomorrow, she decided. Or perhaps tonight…  ❛❛ Have you had anything to eat ? You look like you could use a nice meal. ❜❜

❝Okay  –  maybe I ought to consider the sunburn a bit more before making such a rash decision.❞  He grinned, taking her hand and allowing her to lead him away from the blazing heat.   He squinted as he looked up toward the bright, bright sky. 

He grinned at her words,  heart swelling a little at the idea of Anna joining him at his Kingdom,  being his Queen.  ❝We have   plenty of hearths around the castle, and animals pelts for   keeping warm.❞  He assured her with a sly smile.  At least they were both considering sacrifices they would have to make.

ANNA SQUEEZED HIS HAND and grinned over her shoulder at Arthur. ❛❛ I’m sure that you can help keep me warm too. ❜❜ Once they were in the shade she turned to face him and reached up to brush his hair from his forehead. Her thumb brushed along one of his cheeks and she puffed out her lower lip at the heat she already felt from it.

❛❛ And besides, it’s not fit to take a King from his land, especially if there is no one to watch it for him. ❜❜ She stretched up onto the tips of her toes to kiss his cheek. ❛❛ Do you know when you’ll be going back to Camelot ? ❜❜

“I hadn’t noticed, my apologies,” he chuckled. “Although upon revision, what is the phrase, ‘Meλi ako’?”

ANNABELLA’S JAW DROPPED AS he repeated the phrase she knew she’d told him MANY times. ❛❛ You’re not supposed to say THAT to me, Sheik !! ❜❜

❝    —-   Oh.❞

It dawned on Arthur that they had traveled so far away from their own lands,  that the woman did  not  speak English.  And Arthur certainly didn’t speak  —  well,  he wasn’t even sure what the language was.  Eyebrows furrowed,  the prince decided from her gesture,  that she was introducing herself.

A light blush spread over his cheeks,  partly from embarrassment and also,  because she leaned close to him and they were already so close. Luckily it was probably hidden by the sunburn on his cheeks.  If you would call  ANY  of this luck.

Well that wasn’t fair.  This beautiful and kind woman finding them was pretty lucky.

❝Your name is Annabell?❞  He said,  making a face when he realized that she still couldn’t understand him.  So,  he pointed at her,  ❝Annabell.❞  He nodded, placing a hand on his own chest as she had done.  ❝I’m Prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot.❞  So used to a formal introduction,  he grinned sheepishly.  ❝Arthur.❞

THE PRINCESS KEPT HER SMILE on her face even when he gave her the same long winded introduction that she had given him... or at least that was what she assumed. She wondered where exactly he was from, because he didn’t look Hylian and of everything he and his men had on them none of them bore the Hylian symbol. 

She chuckled when he finally introduced himself, bowing her head in a sheepish  yes when he repeated her name. Of course, her name wasn’t Annabell, it was Annabella, but she didn’t mind it too much. Perhaps it would grow on her, and if it didn’t she could call him ART for revenge.

❛❛ ART... ARTHUR. ❜❜ SHE TOUCHED his shoulder as she tried to say his name briefly, then her hand moved back to her chest. ❛❛ Annabella. ❜❜ Dark eyes glanced towards one of the open windows. She had been trying to close them all, but he’d woken up before she could finish. Although she supposed in the end light still bled through the curtains, but it would hopefully be enough that he could sleep. She reached for his hand on the blankets before standing and giving him a gentle tug towards the window.

“Oh god.” He wasn’t grinning—not like Anna was grinning, the corners of her lips the marionettist that brought the sun to life. There was a certain RELIEF at the word ‘there,’ though Merlin almost missed it in light of her enthusiasm. But it implied that Fritz wasn’t still waiting in the car. “I think St. Bernard’s are proof that misfortune exists—closely related to the hell hound? Also, B e e t h o v e n, you’ve heard of him, yeah? The movie, not the composer. He was beautiful too but the house, well. Not so much.”

❛❛ WITH THAT ARGUMENT THEN we should never get a dog. EVER. ❜❜ Anna’s grin turned into a pout, pausing before she began to take the groceries out of the bag and place them on the counter.  ❛❛ What does the house matter, we’re the only ones that really see it !! And they spend most of their time SLEEPING, you know !! ❜❜

“You haven’t won yet,” he smirked, though his heart fluttered at her elation. “And if I tell you how, you won’t LEARN, right?” He was teasing.

❛❛            THAT’S NOT FAIR, SHEIK !! ❜❜ Annabella began to pout, although it wasn’t long before a grin broke through.

[oftme-blog]

SUN’YA :

It took him a fair few long, thick moments to be able to look up and meet her gaze. It was hard – her emerald eyes melted his heart ( and sometimes, he was sure, the rest of him ), and FROZE him to his spot. His mouth went drier than usual and he had to push through the tight weight that clamped down around the centre of his chest.

“Thank you,” he said softly, not knowing what else to say. He wished he could properly articulate the toe-curling EUPHORIA her mere presence elicited. Annabella’s reassurance honestly did help him feel better. Having her take this moment out of her stressful life to make him happy. Sheik hoped he did the same for her, sometimes. Or would get the chance to return the FAVOUR at least.

Her surprise at his ‘intruder’ remark came as a surprise to him, as well. Had she truly not noticed that the other Gerudo very clearly did not want him around? Sheik supposed it was easy not to notice such things if they were not happening to you. At least, that was the IMPRESSION he had gotten from observing how blind non-Sheikah could be over his lifetime.

He sighed, glancing away again as he spoke. Somehow this was hard to ADMIT, too. He really did not want to put more on Anna’s plate. “The women in the palace,” Sheik said. “They…” he paused, hoping he didn’t sound childish. “They make disparaging comments when I’m near. In Gerudo, of course, but they aren’t attempting to conceal their intent. Or they simply ignore me, which I honestly prefer.” Sheik almost wished he could lie to her. It would be so much easiser to retract his STATEMENT and pretend it wasn’t bothering him.

ANNABELLA’S BROWS WERE FURROWED over her eyes as Sheik continued explaining just what she had been missing when she was so focused on her own work. Perhaps he was not their KING, but he was her HUSBAND. If they cannot show him respect then Anna would have to deal with it, and she would not be gentle with them. ❛❛ Do you know who has been doing it, Sheik ? Or has it just been... everyone ? ❜❜

SHE BROUGHT THEIR HANDS UP to kiss the back of his knuckles. A plan to address the situation was already stirring in her head, so she gave him a very small and gentle smile. She squeezed his hand and rose from her chair. ❛❛ Could you join me for lunch tomorrow, sun’ya ? ❜❜ She gave his hand a small tug. ❛❛ I have a meeting, but it should be over close to then... Why don’t we go to bed, yeah ? ❜❜ She smiled a little wider.  ❛❛ I’m sleepy. ❜❜

❝    —-    UH. ❞

Ungracefully fell from Arthur’s lips as the woman sat next to him.  He was quite distracted by her beauty  –  and he mostly blamed it on his earlier state that he was still recovering from.  Apparently,  she had helped him and he was grateful for that.  ❝Yes.  Thank you,❞  He said after a quick moment.

He drank from the water,  thinking that water had never actually tasted so good.  He was also a but mesmerized by the color and style of her clothing,  which was much different than anything he had seen before.  It just added to the beauty and the mystery.

❝I’m grateful for the water,  but also for your help.    We underestimated your lands.❞

ANNABELLA GAVE THE MAN a gentle smile when he hummed. Perhaps uhm was one of the few words that could be understood across many languages along with the shock or discomfort that could accompany it. She hoped that her smile was disarming, and she hoped that it would earn her a smile BACK as she began to realize that the only thing she had understood him say thus far was water.

IT WOULD BE A SHOCKING experience for anyone, Annabella thought. She didn’t blame him for still being a bit disoriented even after rest and water. He was much more pale than she had ever seen, and Anna was a bit distracted by his bright hair and his bright eyes. She had only seen the Princess of Hyrule once when they were both children, so Anna was unused to seeing yellow hair and VERY unused to seeing such pale eyes.

SHE DIDN’T BOTHER TRYING to figure out something she knew she didn’t understand, so instead she thought to change the conversation ( if one could call it that... ). She placed her hand on her chest and said, ❛❛ És ata Annabella, zyva  Žu tif va  Gérudo šék. ❜❜ I am Annabella, princess of the Gerudo... but after a brief moment of pause, she chuckled and leaned a bit closer to him. ❛❛ Annabella. ❜❜

SHEIK :

“I think you may have,” he hummed, glancing at the SHOGI board. “Your win in four moves, I believe.” Sheik leaned back, a smirk beginning in the corners of his eyes.

❛❛ REALLY ? ❜❜ ANNABELLA GRINNED.  ❛❛          How do I do that, again...? ❜❜

SUN’YA :

Her continued grip on him was unexpected. Perhaps Anna was not as trapped in her own worries as he had thought. While this would not have been much of an ISSUE (of course she had a right to worry), it had weighed on him. It was not her fault, he knew that. But it was easier to take out his frustrations on her, unfortunately, in small ways. Looking from their HANDS, still clasped together, to her face, he felt a pained lump form in his throat.

The last thing he had wanted was to HURT her. His grip tightened again, hopefully in something akin to apology.

He took a deep breath, staring into her emerald eyes, wanting to absorb her pain, take it within himself, and feel it so she wouldn’t have to. Sheik stepped back to her chair, kneeling at her SIDE. Part in shame and part in comfort. He had spent much of his life in this position - REVERENT to the crown, or to the Goddesses. Thumbing over her knuckles in return, his other hand coming to clasp hers between them, he decided the silence must be broken.

“Not you, dahl sadir. I - “ Sheik paused, rethinking how he WANTED to explain. “I am in a foreign place, and I am unused to being so…useless, I suppose.” The last thing he wanted to do was to make this all about himself. He was hurt, of course, but she already had so much on her place. Yet the way Anna spoke, like when she was unburdened by the PRESSURES of a nation, it forced the truth from him. This was the one person he could never lie to. “The other women treat me like an intruder, still, and I feel trapped. You are not the cause of this problem, but when you shut me out, I cannot help but feel as if I am intruding.”

ANNABELLA SQUEEZED HIS HAND in return. If she could she wanted to take any pain or sorrow from him and place it upon herself, but he would not be a fan of such a thing. He would tsk at her and tell her never to think of such a thing again. Neither of them wanted what they were given when presented with their current situation, but gods they had been lucky so far. It was nothing short of LUCK that they had met, and it was nothing short of luck that they had developed feelings for each other.

❛❛ YOU ARE FAR FROM useless, Sheik. ❜❜ She frowned and brought his hand up to press a kiss to the back of his knuckles. It was true that he didn’t have a duty, per se, but he was far from useless to HER. He was her everything. ❛❛ You help me keep my head on my shoulders, and you help me keep from going insane. You are far from useless. ❜❜

NORMALLY, ANNABELLA WOULD HAVE left it there. She would reassure her husband of his usefulness as best as she could manage in the moment and return to her own work soon after. If he needed more reassurance she would return to him when they were laying down for the night. However, his next comment struck a chord in her. They treat him like an intruder ? 

❛❛ AN INTRUDER ? WHO TREATS you like that, Sheik ? ❜❜
