Percival's Love
Your job was to travel and cook for the knights of Camelot while they were on their quests. You considered them all your friends but one in particular made your heart beat a little faster when he was near. Everyone knew that you and Percival both had a thing for each other. You always would cook his favorite foods. He would always offer to help you clean up and would always just happen to fall asleep closest to you. Y'all were on your way back to Camelot having just completed a quest for King Arthur. Everyone stopped to make camp for the night. You went into the woods to look for certain herbs you needed to cook with before it got too dark. All of a sudden you were grabbed and a dagger was pressed against your neck. You screamed. Your captor pressed the dagger harder and said “do that again and it’ll be the last sound you ever make.” He led you back to the camp. The knights had heard you scream and all already had their swords drawn. When you came into view, you looked over at Percival. You had never seen Percival look so scared and angry before. “Let. Y/n. Go.” He gritted through his teeth. Your captor laughed and said “give me what doesn’t belong to you.” He must be wanting whatever the knights had retrieved on the quest. Percival started moving toward you but the man only dug the dagger even tighter in your neck. You whimpered trying not to scream again. You could feel it cutting into your neck. Leon said “ok. We’ll trade. Just don’t hurt her.” Percival said “fine. I’ll get it. But you have to let her go” your captor said “you have my word”. Percival started walking to his weapons bag. He rummaged around in it for a bit and pulled out a crossbow. He quickly fired at your captor and in shock you were released. Leon charged the man and Gwaine came for you and led you away from the battle. You were trying to keep up but you tripped over some roots and fell, injuring your leg in the process. Gwaine stopped and leaned down to look at your leg. The other knights came running up behind you. Leon said “Percival killed him.” Gwaine said “y/n’s leg is injured. Y/n can you stand?” You tried but you couldn’t. Percival reached down and lifted you up in his big strong arms. “We must get her back to Camelot tonight” he said. They all packed up and Percival put you on his horse. He sat behind you so he could hold onto you. They took you straight to Gaius. He said you would be fine and just needed rest and to stay off that leg for awhile. Percival carried you to your room while the other knights went to theirs. He laid you on your bed and sat on the side. “I thought I was gonna lose you…” he whispered. He brushed your hair back and started to get up to leave. You grabbed his hand and said “Percival.. please stay… I don’t want to be alone…. please..”. He nodded. It hurt him to see you so worked up and frightened. He said “I’ll sleep in the chair” he placed his sword on the table. “Percival… will you hold me?” He looked at you and took off his chainmail. You could see a light blush on his cheeks. He climbed in bed beside you and wrapped his arms around you. You snuggled into him and said “thank you. Truly. I feel so safe with you.” and leaned up and kissed his cheek. He then leaned down and kissed your lips. By this time the knights were wondering where Percival was. Gwaine said he would go look. Gwaine made his way to your room and listened at the door. He heard y'all making out and “I love you, Percival” “I love you, y/n”. Gwaine smirked and went straight back to the others. The next morning when Percival walked onto the training grounds. Gwaine whistled. Leon said “Its about time! I thought we were gonna have to spell it out how you two felt about each other!” Percival turned his head to hide his blush and said “I don’t know what you idiots are talking about.” Leon said “Gwaine went to check on you last night and he heard you and y/n”. Gwaine smirked and said “you go man!”. Percival said “I don’t know what you thought you heard but I just held her all night because she was frightened.” Gwaine said “man I heard some k-i-s-s-i-n-g.” Percival opened his mouth to speak but quickly closed it. Arthur came walking over and said “ok that’s enough teasing. Let’s get started so Percival won’t keep his woman waiting long”. They all laughed.
