Character(s): Gwen & Arthur Pendragon
Location: Gwen's dorm
Rating: PG most likely.
Open/Closed/Finished: Closed
Summary: Gwen and Arthur have finally decided to discuss the unfortunate timeline issues plaguing them.
The prospect of this meeting made Guinevere anxious. Over the course of the past week notes and messages had been exchanged back and forth between her and Arthur through Merlin to arrange their rendezvous. She felt bad to do this to him, though it seemed neither she nor Arthur had worked up enough courage to see one another face to face just yet, and Merlin obliged happily each time (for her, at least). She tried not to worry too much about it, but she made a note to herself to thank Merlin once things had settled a bit.
Meeting in Gwen's dorm made the most sense. For the time being she had a double room to herself and aside from the sewing patterns and fabric spread out on the table, she had to do very little tidying to make it presentable. Even after spend time on that, however, she found herself pacing and fidgeting in anticipation of the knock on her door.
There were a wealth of things that she wanted to say when she first arrived, but Merlin dropped a number of details on her that simply left her confused. There was no way she and Arthur could go on avoiding one another. Hopefully their meeting would sort all of the awkwardness between them out once and for all.

The doubt flooded back to her, making the smile fade from her face. She raised her eyes back to his and bit the inside of her lip as she thought of how best to voice her concerns. It was a delicate matter for him, she could tell how seriously he'd taken all of this, and she didn't want to hurt him because she said the wrong thing.
"...So much is different. I must be different as well."

"This is the sort of thing I'm talking about. We may have come from... different points in time, but right now, we are sharing one. You are entitled to learn what I know, as entitled as I am to have the knowledge. You-" He cut off, haltingly finishing the sentence. "...Will be my wife, one day. If you so wish it."
He'd been trying to avoid wording it that way, but it was too late to take it back now.
"Gwen... I will not deny that much has changed since your time. But you have always had a good heart. That will never change."

"It's not what I thought would come to pass when you kissed me the first time...But in a way I think I hoped for it from the start."
She romanticized the idea of him ignoring his father's wishes for a moment. It was silly, thinking of being Queen consort when you scrub floors for a living. All of that got tossed away when he let her down for the sake of Uther.
"This must have been hard for you. I was confused and scared when I arrived. I'm so sorry." She bridged the gap between them, wrapping her arms around him in a warm, gentle hug. Perhaps it wasn't as intimate as the one he gave her before, but she felt the need to return the gesture.
