“Not that last time.”

“No. That time you fell into a stream.”

[poetryincamelot]

HC: Merlin purposely scares away the animals because he thinks hunting is unfair. And also because he knows it annoys Arthur.

I always figured that was canon!

Merlin & Hands 

Requested by pluviophilicwitch

Arthur’s shoulders were so tense, he knew that he needed to relax and was going to have to go back to his duties. It was going to be a rough afternoon alone with his advisors. Yet, feeling Merlin’s hands on his shoulders did cause Arthur to relax a bit. He could feel his shoulders relax slightly. He hoped that they were going to stop talking about everything, at least for right now. He didn’t want to keep arguing with Merlin about marrying a queen.

“I know that we’ll talk about this again soon, but I am thankful for the break for today.” He knew this wouldn’t be the end of it. He was sure that him and Merlin would come round to this talk very soon in the future.

“I’m not completely helpless. I do know how to dress myself.”

“I’ve taught you well then.” Going back to teasing Arthur seemed like the way to go. They always ended up laughing when things went down that road and Arthur looked like he needed a good laugh, or other things. Speaking of -- Merlin’s hands moved down from Arthur’s shoulders, traveling down his sides until they reach the hemline of the tunic. “Arms up, Sire.” While it was great that the King of Camelot could dress himself, it was not so great for his boyfriend who enjoyed his mornings with a naked or half naked King. “I want to enjoy my morning before I have to carry armor and deal with the knights. So while I’m very proud of your effort.... I need you to undress now.”

[notjustmerlin]

Arthur watched the pillow miss him completely and missed the food. How could Arthur not think that Merlin wanted to end things? He wanted Arthur to marry, that sounds like a break up if he’s ever heard one. He thought they were happy and now everything seemed to be falling apart. They weren’t supposed to have secrets and now Merlin wanted things to end between them.

He made a face as he was told to shut up. Only Merlin could get away with telling the king to shut up. But his words that Merlin didn’t want to end things made him feel better and he began to come closer to Merlin, to join him on the bed, by sitting on the edge of it.

“I don’t want to do that to you. It wouldn’t be fair.” He couldn’t just make Merlin ‘the other woman.’ He didn’t want Merlin to have to watch him with a woman and marry her. “My heart is yours.”

Oh and there it was. Arthur’s broad shouldered back tense as it could be. It was just a little bit weird that Merlin knew the way Arthur’s muscles behaved, even under that tunic. Too much time together, maybe.  Merlin got on his knees behind Arthur on the bed and he placed his hands on his shoulders, massaging them in an attempt to get some of that tension out. They had the morning to themselves but soon enough it would be over and Arthur had to go back to being King. A tense King was a moody one. Merlin would know.

“We don’t have to talk about this anymore.” For the time being. The conversation was bound to come up at another point in time. Merlin had to think of a way to make Arthur more accepting of that reality he was trying so hard to ignore.

“I still can’t believe you’re dressed this early. And all by yourself.”

[notjustmerlin]

sonofpendragon‌:

“You’re not making me feel any better about this between us with you calling me those names.” Yes, he knew that sleeping with his servant wasn’t the best decision the could do. Yet, no one says anything if it was a king sleeping with a female servant. Sure, this was dangerous, but everything was dangerous in their lives.

Arthur watched Merlin, after four years things were supposed to be better, not harder. He already felt too much pressure from the kingdom, now he needed to be pressured from Merlin as well? He would have easily gone back to being alone, if he knew that it wouldn’t have hurt.

With breakfast over, Arthur doesn’t move to join Merlin, he stays seated and listens to Merlin’s words. “I’m not going to die anytime soon. So, what, now after four years you want to end this because of my duty to Camelot? I’m not going to be pushed into a marriage that I don’t want. My father couldn’t do it, and you certainly aren’t going to do it. I have all the time in the world for an heir but if you want to end this, after everything, that’ll be on you.” Arthur was not going to be forced into anything he didn’t want to. He only wanted to marry for love, he’ll be damned if he’s forced into a marriage just for an heir.

Merlin could argue, of course, but instead he flung a pillow at Arthur’s head. It missed his head, landed on the table, missing the food by about an inch. Merlin needed to work on his aim. He was just offended that Arthur understood that he wanted to end this. How could Arthur think that? This was the happiest either of them had been. There were no secrets, they were best friends and they got to enjoy carnal pleasures as well. Only Arthur would assume Merlin meant ending it.

“Arthur?” He pauses. “Please shut up.” Look at that, Merlin telling the King to be quiet. It was one of the many perks of being Arthur’s boyfriend. “I won’t end this. Not now. Not ever.” Well, that wasn’t entirely true. If Merlin truly believed it was in Arthur’s best interest, he would step aside but Arthur was a better person now, a better King, if possible. 

“This wouldn’t end with your marriage.” Yes, Merlin was willing to be ‘the other woman’. But Camelot needed an heir and that was the one thing Merlin could not give Arthur. “I know your heart belongs to me. I don’t doubt it.”

[notjustmerlin]

sonofpendragon‌:

“I don’t need an heir. I might not even live long enough to have a child or a wife. I don’t need to make myself or her miserable but us being forced into an unhappy marriage.” He grew up doing what everyone told him, why wasn’t he allowed his own happiness?

Arthur wasn’t stupid, he knew that in everyone’s eyes, Merlin was just a servant. To Arthur, he didn’t view Merlin that way, so there had to be something that he could do to make things right. Everyone expected him to marry a woman, but that just wasn’t what he wanted. He always wanted to be a king who did right by his people, but what about his own heart? When was he able to follow what he wanted instead of just doing what he was told to do?

“I guess that’s better than being a dollophead then?”

“You’re still a dollophead, and a clotpole. You’re not getting any smarter by sleeping with me, you know.” From a strategic point of view, sleeping with his man servant was the dumbest thing Arthur could ever do. Merlin knew it and he couldn’t believe that after four years, Arthur still didn’t see just how problematic their relationship was. It would be adorable if it wasn’t so dangerous.

Merlin got up from the table, taking a sip of Arthur’s juice from his goblet before making his way back to the bed. He didn’t bother with his clothes but he did toe off his boots. If he got the sheets dirty, he was the one that had to wash them. Then again, after the night they had, they probably needed to be washed. Merlin had been doing a lot more laundry these past four years.

He doesn’t lie down on the bed, instead he rests his back against the headboard and watches Arthur gobble down his breakfast. He was quiet for a moment, just watching the King of Camelot and then he spoke - “I don’t want you to not get married because of me. I was born to serve you, to protect you, Camelot and what will one day be known as Albion. That requires an heir, otherwise my work will be for nothing because when you die, Albion would die with you. You won’t hurt me, Arthur. I know what is required of you and I know my place in history.”
