At first it was stolen glances across the hall and in corridors. Then it turned into non-incidental touches when no one was looking. Then gradually he’d stay later and later in her chambers while delivering her medicine. No once seemed to notice, and if they did, they kept it to themselves. For the King’s Ward was so achingly lonely that she reached out for the slightest warmth of a hand, his was there.
He didn’t have many friends either, at least not close to his age. They seemed to shy away from him as if they knew how really different he was. So when Morgana showed interest, he too reached out. He knew that she was different also, though he dared not share this with her. Their friendship bloomed and quickly became something more, something better.
When she decided to leave Camelot, he decided to go with her. Out in the world, they could be what they wanted. They could learn magic together. Who cared what the cranky old dragon said anyway. Wasn’t love more important than mere destiny?
