Inspired by this lovely fanart @cheese-ception​​ made for me  And if you’ve been sleeping on it, shame on you because Arty looks amazing! 

          Storytelling before bedtime had become a pleasant ritual for Arthur and you, and that night was his turn to tell you a story. So, nuzzling into his arm, you locked your expectant eyes on his bright, sapphire ones.
          “Say, Luv, have I ever told you about the undines?
          You shook your head. “What’s an undine?”
          “Undines are water nymphs. They are usually female, but once every blue moon, a male undine is born into the world.” Your lover could not hide the smile of delight that drew itself on his face upon noticing the spark of interest flashing in your charming eyes. “The story I’m about to tell you happens to be about a male undine who was born many a century ago. This lucky creature was the only male around a sea of cute, little female nymphs.” He saw you rolling your eyes which evoked a light chuckle from him. “This handsome undine was having the time of his life chasing after all those cute nymphs when he met a female human that would turn his world upside down.”
          “Oh, what was she like?”
          “She was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes on.”
          “More beautiful than the other nymphs?”
          “Indeed! She was lovely. However, what made him fall in love with her was her kind heart, contagious laughter, assertiveness, and that childlike curiosity that brought them together in the first place.”
          “She sounds really cool,” you mused aloud.
          “She was! She had him wrapped around her little finger. He wanted to be with her and show her how much he loved her. He was so head-over-heels in love with her that one day he himself became human.”
          “This is quite the romantic story. I like it.” Your lips quirked into a small smile as your weary eyes fluttered closed.
          “One would think so, Luv,” he said, lowering the tone of his dulcet voice. “However, undines are doomed to die if their partner is unfaithful to them. And he was very aware of that.”
          “Oh… did she—”
          He interrupted you. “No. Fortunately, she loved him just as much as he did. She even helped him overcome his silly insecurities.” He let out a dreamy sigh. “She was amazing for him.” He pressed a tender kiss atop your head. “And you know what? If their partner is loyal, undines make sure to give them everything. And so he did. The flame of his love was everlasting. His love was pure and intense. So intensely he loved her, that he never forgot her, not even after his death. That’s precisely how strongly undines love their partners.”
          “Aww, that’s so…” A yawn escaped your parted lips and you felt your lover pulling you closer to him as a soft giggle rang in your ears.
          “What’s more fascinating is that when undines reincarnate, they spend all their life looking for their partner —their one and only,” he whispered, staring fondly at you as he let his slender fingers ghost over one of your hands, toying with the wedding band around your ring finger. “When they find them, they do everything they can to woo them. And once they win their heart, they never let their partner go.” He wrapped both of his arms around you, holding you securely against him.
          You buried your face in his chest, taking in his comforting scent. “So, that means the woman forgot about him, right?” you mumbled, words coming out muffled.
          “Naturally. She was only human, after all.”
          “That’s kind of sad,” you snaked one arm around his lithe form, gently caressing the bare skin of his back with your thumb.
          A shiver ran down his spine and he let out a low hum. “Mhm. But that did not deter him from winning her heart again and again.”
          “Would you… woo me again if you were… an undine?” Sleep was slowly but steadily taking over your consciousness, yet you managed to hear his answer before you finally succumbed to it.
          “I already have, Luv.” He pulled up the blankets, ensuring to keep you warm as you slept in his arms. “Quite a few times,” he added in a hushed tone. “And I shall continue doing so, my sweet dove. Forevermore.”
