Summer couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re such a romantic, sweet. Just sit here and cuddle?”
“I try.” He said with a smile. “Of course. We could sit here and cuddle all night if you wanted to.”
“I want to know what you want to do.” She prodded him in the chest. “If I had /my/ way, we would have to be somewhere much more private than this. With a locking door.”
He blushed a little, knowing what she meant. “W-We could always do that too.”
“Stop avoiding the question, Arthur. Right now, at this moment, what do you want?”
“You.”
“You are doing that on purpose!” Half laughing and half frustrated, Summer insinuated her hands under his shirt and tried to tickle him.
He laughed as she tickled him. After a minute he grabbed her wrists and caught his breath. Arthur looked Summer in the eyes. “I’m not saying that on purpose. I really want you.”
“Maybe I’m not asking the right question, then. You have me. Captive, even. What shall you do with me?”
He thought a moment. “I’m not really sure.” He said honestly.
She didn’t try to pull away. “Perhaps you should figure that out. Pretty compliments and kisses are wonderful things, but loving someone is more than that.” She gave him a gentle smile.
Summer couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re such a romantic, sweet. Just sit here and cuddle?”

“Maybe I’m not asking the right question, then. You have me. Captive, even. What shall you do with me?”
Arthur smiled. “All that matters is that I love you.”
She raised her brows. “You think this will be that easy? At some point you’ll have duties, and your father … ” She let the sentence slide off, not wanting to say all the reasons she’d kept her mouth shut all along.
“Well I know that I have my duties, but I have nothing to do tonight. So I don’t need to be anywhere. Except right here.”
Summer couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re such a romantic, sweet. Just sit here and cuddle?”
“I try.” He said with a smile. “Of course. We could sit here and cuddle all night if you wanted to.”

“Stop avoiding the question, Arthur. Right now, at this moment, what do you want?”
Tucking her head under his chin, she said, “Tell me something nice?”
“All the stars in the sky can’t shine as bright as you.”
“Such compliments.” She traced her fingertips over his shirt, seeking the outline of muscles. “I can’t even think what you see in me. Someone amazing like you, a prince.”
Arthur smiled. “All that matters is that I love you.”
She raised her brows. “You think this will be that easy? At some point you’ll have duties, and your father … ” She let the sentence slide off, not wanting to say all the reasons she’d kept her mouth shut all along.

“Yes, my lord.” She let him pull her down, and nestled into his arms, looping one arm around his neck so she could kiss his jawline.
He smiled and planted a kiss on her lips. He looked around and saw a yellow flower in reaching distance. Arthur picked it and put it in Summer’s hair. “There you go.”
“Thank you.” Summer let her fingers comb through his hair, tracing along the back of his neck. “I wonder what you would have done if you hadn’t surprised me into confessing.”
“I never would have known.” He said simply. Arthur let her play with his hair.
“That actually seems kind of awful.” Her face was sad. “You make it sound like you never get any choices of your own.”
“I really don’t.” He shrugged. “But I’ve never got any choices.”
Tracing the lines of his face with her fingertips, deliberately she looked up at him through her eyelashes. “You’ve chosen me. What will you now?”
“I will let nothing come between us at all.”
That earned him a laugh. “Simple and clear.” Tugging his head down, she kissed him slowly.
He smiled and kissed her back wrapping his arms around her waist.
Tucking her head under his chin, she said, “Tell me something nice?”
He smiled and kissed her cheek. He wasn’t able to produce words to express how happy he was.
Summer smiled back; she couldn’t help it. Arthur was infectious in his happiness. “What do you want?” she whispered.
“To be here with you forever.” He said not really thinking. But he meant it. He really liked Summer, a lot.
She laughed a little. “Just right here? I think we might be a little tired of standing.”
“Well we can sit.” He laughed sitting on the ground. He pulled her, and sat her in his lap.
“Yes, my lord.” She let him pull her down, and nestled into his arms, looping one arm around his neck so she could kiss his jawline.
He smiled and planted a kiss on her lips. He looked around and saw a yellow flower in reaching distance. Arthur picked it and put it in Summer’s hair. “There you go.”
