Title: Gazing

Pairings: Arthur/Merlin

WARNINGS: slightly UST? And slightly angsty…

Disclaimer: Merlin not mine *sob* It's the BBC's though I want to rob them and get away with Bradley and Colin ^_^

Summary: Arthur catches Merlin star gazing.

Notes: This was written while I was panicking over a deadline of another fic. Hence why drabble!

He walked over to the wall where a familiar figure already stood gazing up at the stars.

"Mother told me stories about the stars." Merlin whispered as Arthur stood beside him. "And I would gaze at them for hours." He sighed happily. Arthur was gazing at the man beside him, knowing Merlin wouldn't notice. "I always wished I could touch one. But mother always said there were some things that could only be looked at and never touched." Beside him, Arthur knew exactly what he meant.

Merlin was as bright as any star but he was not to be touched.
