Arthur's Chambers, Citadel, Camelot, Monday Morning Fandom Time

The whole mess was over and done with, and now Arthur had even managed to sweep the last scraps of trouble under the rug. It had been trying, and it had been bloody dangerous, and how could he have been so stupid to begin with?

He had all this adrenaline still coursing through his body, and the morning's training had only taken the edge off. So now that things had been settled, and spoken through with his father, he was in his room. Prying bits of rock off the wall with his sword.

While brooding.

This was a spectacular combination.

Merlin smiled faintly, more a muscle twitch than anything. "It will get better. It has to."

"Camelot needs to be better," Arthur said, fingers skimming back until they were petting over Merlin's hair. "We all need to be better than this."

"You will be," Merlin assured him.

[personal profile] bitchprince 2011-02-09 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Not just tomorrow, Merlin," he said, the ensuing sigh like a release of tension, and his fingers stopped moving. "We need to start getting better now, don't you see? Before there isn't anything left to salvage."

He was rambling, he was aware of it. "I just don't--" He cut himself off.

Merlin leaned over, kissing him quickly. "You're already working on it, Arthur. We both will make it better."

Arthur's hand slipped to the back of Merlin's neck. He kissed Merlin again, prolonging the contact.

So maybe he was feeling a little clingy today. Shhh.

Which was good since someone hadn't spent all that much time in Arthur's chambers since guests had arrived. Merlin kissed him again, closing his eyes and shifting closer.

It was almost graceful! If nearly flopping over onto Arthur's chest counted as grace.

[personal profile] bitchprince 2011-02-09 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if they were relying on grace from Merlin, they might as well give up. However, Arthur had long since gotten used to being the graceful one in this relationship, and he reached to shift Merlin a little until he was pressed up well against Arthur's leg.

His fingers slipped back into Merlin's hair, where they stayed; Arthur's eyes slipped shut and he tilted his head a little, deepening the kiss.

After a moment, Merlin pulled back slightly as he grinned. "If you went away with me, that would make you like the girl in those sort of stories."

Yes, he just realized this.
bitchprince: (...que?)

[personal profile] bitchprince 2011-02-09 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
"...Are you calling me a girl?" Arthur asked, staring up at him, nonplussed.

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2011-02-09 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
"You do have nicer hair..."

[personal profile] bitchprince 2011-02-09 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Arthur smacked him in the chest. "You're the one who weeps over otters," he said, though he sounded a little-- amused. Relieved. One or both of the two. "I don't think it's any contest."

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2011-02-09 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Did you even look at them?"

[personal profile] bitchprince 2011-02-09 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
"It's hard not to have seen them by now," Arthur said, rolling his eyes a bit. "You do keep mooning over them whenever you have a second with your phone."

He reached down for a cursory grope of Merlin's arse, now that the worst fraughtness had dissipated.

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2011-02-09 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Of course he'd go for a grope when talking about the otters. Of course.

Merlin just gave him a look, tugging on Arthur's jacket to help it off. "Oh, like you're any better with your spreadsheets."

[personal profile] bitchprince 2011-02-09 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
"At least my spreadsheets are useful," Arthur said, sitting up a little to help with the jacket removal.

And then let his hands drift for Merlin's, to tug that one off, too.

"I doubt you need to organize your training sessions so strictly."

[personal profile] bitchprince 2011-02-09 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Arthur cast Merlin's jacket to the floor behind him. "Discipline is the greatest virtue of any knight," he lectured, reaching up to untie Merlin's neckerchief.

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2011-02-09 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Heeeey. Merlin would need to clean that.

Rolling his eyes, Merlin pushed him back down against the bed. "I'm sure they'd agree."

Really.

[personal profile] bitchprince 2011-02-09 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Obviously," said Arthur, who let himself be pushed. He was a bit solid otherwise, obviously.

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2011-02-09 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Which could only mean that the one why to silence Arthur was with another kiss. Don't you judge his tactics.

[personal profile] bitchprince 2011-02-09 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Judging. Judging so hard.

Arthur took hold of Merlin's shirt this time, kissing him back with his knuckles brushing against bare skin.

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2011-02-09 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
"When," Merlin asked between kisses. "Are you next expected?"

[personal profile] bitchprince 2011-02-09 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Not for another two hours," Arthur murmured. "I'm supposed to be getting ready for a council meeting, but reading the proposed treaties can wait."

[identity profile] bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com 2011-02-09 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not to mention boring," Merlin added helpfully, pushing up on Arthur's shift.
