ag_fics Mini Challenge Two (50-150 word fics). Prompt: On their wedding night, Arthur is embarrassed to have to tell Gwen he's never...er...you know.... Theme: Virgin
"Do not try to tell me you're a virgin, because I know that's rubbish, Arthur Pendragon. I have heard first-hand accounts." Guinevere raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, a stance which should have been hindered by the draping sleeves of her wedding gown, but which she somehow mastered.
"What? No!" he exclaimed, and then froze. "You have?"
Her unamused expression confirmed it, and he was momentarily distracted, wondering what she had heard.
"What is the matter, then?" she finally demanded in exasperation.
"I've never... you know..." He sighed. "I have never been fully undressed with a woman."
As he glanced at her self-consciously, Guinevere smiled-- and not the compassionate smile he was used to. This was a sensual curve of her lips; and, as she reached out and undid the clasp of his cape, letting it fall to the floor behind him, she murmured, "Let's remedy that."
