Like a Child in the Dark (part 2)

Merlin just wanted to go back to his room, get inside his bed and not leave it until Arthur had cleared his mind. But it seemed that life had other plans for him, cause when he got to his room Will and Gwaine were there.

"I take that you two have talked." Merlin wasn't in the mood for this, he had just had a conversation that could change the most important relationship he had ever had and he didn't want to discuss it. Not right now anyway. But Gwaine and Will were like a dog with a bone and they wouldn't leave him until they got what they wanted, so it would be better if it was fast.

"Yeah, your ex-roommate told me how you two made out in front of the caveman. I though you were the smart one in our friendship?" Gwaine hit him on the head and went to hug Merlin and he let him. Gwaine was a touchy-feely person and Merlin had always appreciated it because sometimes you just needed a hug to feel better. His mother used to hug him when he needed comfort and being held always helped him. If he wanted other arms around him it was his problem, not Gwaine's.

Somehow, while hugging Merlin, Gwaine had moved them to the bed and helped Merlin sit down.

"Okay. Tell me what happened? If you tell me he did something to you I'll kill him. I bet the others would help me hide the body." It made Merlin laugh. They both knew Arthur wouldn't do anything too bad against Merlin. Arthur was always throwing things at him but they never hurt because Arthur would never hurt Merlin - at least not physically.

"No, Gwaine, he didn't do anything. He just… We talked, okay?" Merlin was too embarrassed to tell the truth of what had happened in the laundry room.

The look on Gwaine face was one of disbelief. "You… talked. About what?"

"Us?"

"Is that a question or an answer, Merlin?" Gwaine was trying to have a serious conversation. It must have been a first for him, so Merlin felt bound to answer.

"Us, we talked about us. I told him to choose what he wants us to be." Will had been drinking a coke while listening silently – another first - to Gwaine and Merlin from the other bed. But as soon as Merlin pronounced the words he spat all he had in his mouth all over the floor.

"You did what? This must be the first sign of the apocalypse!"

Gwaine ignored Will's outburst and looked at Merlin again. "What did he say?"

"Nothing, not yet, I gave him time to think about it."

"Good, that's good. He will come around, you'll see. In no time you're gonna be getting laid! Cheers mate!" Gwaine was trying to cheer him up, but Merlin wasn't feeling all that confident of his possibilities, not really, but he smiled nonetheless. There was something stopping Arthur from choosing him though Merlin didn't know what it could be, but there must be something that stopped him if Arthur's words about his feelings for him were true.

Gwaine looked at his watch and started fidgeting. "If you have to be somewhere else you can go. I'm fine." In fact, Merlin would have been even better if he could get Will to leave the room too. He wanted to be left alone with his misery and wallow in it for a little bit.

"Yeah, I guess. But I could stay, I wouldn't mind." Merlin didn't doubt it was true but he wanted to be alone.

"Nah, it's okay, go. I'll see you tomorrow."

Gwaine left the room and Merlin thought that he would have peace now. He was wrong.

"Okay, now that the pretty boy is gone, you and I need to talk. What the hell were you thinking when you gave golden boy time?"

Will had jumped on Merlin's bed as soon as Gwaine had closed the door.

"Will, I don't want to talk about this anymore, okay?"

"Too bad, because we are talking about it. You need help with Goldilocks and I'm going to give it to you."

"You 're gonna help me get Arthur?"

Will looked at Merlin with a serious face. "Yes, I am."

Merlin couldn't hold the laugh. Seeing Will talking seriously was a rare thing, but Will talking seriously about matters of the heart was something out of a dream. It just didn't happen, ever. Sometime Merlin even wondered if Will knew where or what the heart was.

"Come on, Will, you haven't had a girlfriend in your life, you don't know how to keep them."

"You don't need help with keeping Arthur around, you need help to get in his pants, and I'm awesome at that." Merlin didn't know what to answer to that. Of course he wanted to get in Arthur pants - more than anything - but he didn't want a one night stand and he was afraid that if he followed Will's advice that's what would happen despite what he said about him being able to keep Arthur around. Of course he knew how to keep him, as friends, but that's not what he wanted out of this.

"Okay, first thing you have to do is forget about the time thing. You can't grant him space, you have to be all over him, day and night, Merlin. Day and night."

"Will, don't. I don't think this is a good idea." Merlin just wanted to forget about all this, sleep for a week and wake up from this hell. But Will wasn't listening.

"And you have to show him what he will miss if he doesn't choose you. You have to make him horny and hot for you. And made him jealous. We will have to find a guy who doesn't mind losing a couple of teeth or that doesn't now who Pendragon is. That's going to be hard, but I'll find him. Don't worry, leave it to me."

"Enough, Will. Enough." Will would have kept ranting about his plan all night if Merlin didn't put a stop to it. "I'm not going to do any of those things. I promised him time, and that's what he's going to get."

"So what, your plan is staying away from him? Make him miss you? Is not as good as mine but it might work." Will was considering it when Merlin grabbed his shoulders and shook him to make him look at him.

"No, Will. That's not what I'm going to do. I'm just going to be his friend, like I have always been."

Will face was one of confusion. "So, what you're telling me is that things are going to be the same as always?"

"No, not the same, because now he knows how I feel and he will do something to end this situation. He just needs time to think about how."

"And here I thought you had grown a pair! This is not different to how things were yesterday mate. Things will go on as normal until you get tired again. Guys like him don't choose if they don't have to. At least tell me you gave him a dead line…" Will looked at him with hope.

"No, I didn't, I just…" Will left the room after that, shaking his head and rambling about stupid roommates.

Merlin didn't mind what Will thought about it. He went to bed and hid under his covers, trying to make the day end faster.

It was funny that the first thing Will was right about… ever, was that.


The morning after 'the talk' he woke up afraid of what he would find at breakfast, but when he got to the dinning hall everything looked normal. Arthur looked a little bit nervous but he had saved Merlin's seat beside him, and he brought Merlin's breakfast to the table, like every other morning.

Arthur was looking at him as soon as he sat down, like he was waiting for Merlin to do something. Merlin smiled and started eating his cereals, which seemed to be what Arthur was waiting for because he smiled and turned around to start devouring his meal.

Breakfast was normal, everyone talked about the classes they had that day and what girl they had their eyes on as usual. Arthur didn't talk about any girl, which Merlin considered an improvement.

"Bring your Latin notes with you today, I think I got something wrong last week because I can't understand the third conjugation." Arthur was talking about their study meetings, which Merlin had forgot all about, but if Arthur still wanted to have them it was a great signal.

"You still want to…?"

"You don't? You said everything would be the same I just thought…?" Arthur looked confused and hurt.

"No, yeah, of course I want to. I just didn't know if you would." Merlin lowered his head and started walking out of the dining hall with Arthur by his side.

"Okay, so… see you this afternoon after practice." Arthur speed up and before he could disappear around the corner he stopped and turned around. "Don't forget to clean under the bed. It's been weeks since you did it and I think I have a whole dust bunny family living there."

"There are no bunnies living under your bed, dust or not dust, thank you very much." Merlin wasn't above yelling in corridors so he did it, gladly. "The only things living under your bed are your porn magazines, and I'm NOT touching them."

Arthur looked mortified at being yelled at about porn magazines in front of everyone, mostly because it was a lie. Arthur's porn magazines weren't under the bed and Merlin knew it, but the prat deserved it. Merlin smiled and went back to his dorm to grab his bag and go to his first class.


That afternoon Merlin went to Arthur's room before practice ended to clean before Arthur was back. He even cleaned under Arthur's bed though it wasn't all that bad. Merlin's room was far worse.

He had already finished by the time Arthur arrived.

"Hey, what are you doing procrastinating on my bed? Don't you have things to clean?" Arthur left his bag by his desk and went to push Merlin off his bed.

"Nah, I already finished. I was just waiting for you." Merlin smiled while being pushed to the other bed where his bag was. He took out his Latin notes and handed them to Arthur. He was expecting Arthur to say something about yesterday, acknowledge it somehow, but he didn't and they started working on their homework like always.

Arthur couldn't be silent more than ten minutes so after a little he started talking.

"In two weeks it's Morgana's birthday, do you know what I can get her? I've been thinking and it has to be something that says, 'I hate you but you are my sister and I love you, kind of'. So, any ideas?"

"Just that? You sure you don't want it to say something more?" Merlin was laughing and he had tears in his eyes. Arthur and Morgana always made him laugh. The way they hated and loved each other was absurd. They made their lives a living hell but if someone tried to hurt the other they were the first one to fight back.

"Less joking and more thinking Merlin. She promised to do something bad to me if this years present wasn't perfect. I think she didn't like my present last year".

Merlin looked at Arthur in disbelief, "Arthur, last year she bought you a new pair of boots – which you loved – and you forgot to buy her anything so you stole my ipod and gave it to her." Merlin was waving his ipod in front of Arthur so he would remember it better.

"You stole the ipod back?" Arthur looked affronted.

"No, Arthur, she gave it back to me. It has my name on it."

"Okay, this year my gift has to be perfect, and you have to help me. We don't want anything bad happening to me, do we?" Arthur looked hopeful.

"No, we don't. God knows why but we don't."

"What do you have for her? And better yet, what do you have for me?"

"The feminine mystique by Betty Friedan." Merlin had seen it in a bookstore and thought about Morgana so he had bought it. Arthur made a face and went back to his homework, but not for long.

"You still haven't answered the other question."

"That's because I'm not telling you what I have for you, you idiot." Arthur didn't try to get an answer because he knew Merlin wouldn't tell him, so he smiled and started to conjugate Latin verbs again.

"What about a gift card to one of her favorite shops? I bet she would love it." Merlin smiled and kept writing while he answered.

"Yes, she would love it, too bad you can't give her that."

"Why? It's perfect, I give her the money and she buys whatever she likes!" Arthur was smiling brightly, like he just had the best idea ever.

"You can't give her that because that's what your father is going to get her."

"What? No! It was perfect! I hate my father, he's an idea stealer!" He pined around for a bit but then his expression changed to one of enquiry. "And how do you know what my father is going to get her, Merlin?"

Merlin snorted and set his pen down. "Because unlike you, I don't avoid your father's calls. I talked to him last Friday and he asked what I thought she would like and voilà!"

"You talk with my father regularly?" Arthur looked surprised, though he knew they get on well. His father had always treated Merlin like a son and Merlin saw Uther like a father, but knowing someone would talk to his father gladly was a little strange. Uther tended to get intense about classes and curricular objectives; Arthur loved him but sometimes the pressure was too much.

"Yes, Arthur, I talk with your father. I talk to him about classes, about you and Morgana, and a little bit more about you."

"I can't believe you talk with my father." Arthur shook his head and laid back in his bed.

"One of us has to do it, Arthur. And don't make a fuss about it." Thinking the conversation was finished Merlin went back to his homework, ignoring Arthur's stare.

"Okay, but you still have to help me find a present for Morgana, and it better be perfect, Merlin." Merlin nodded and promised him to think about it if he shut up and let him do his homework. Arthur accepted and stayed silent for another half hour.


He and Arthur spent hours together talking about whatever came to mind, but they never touched 'the subject'.

It was kind of frustrating and Merlin wanted Arthur to acknowledge their conversation in some way. He wanted to know that Arthur was still thinking about it or something. But Merlin was scared to push Arthur into giving him an answer, so he did nothing and kept things normal. Frustratingly and confusingly normal.

He was taking pictures of his room ceiling, bored to death, when Will entered their room grinning.

"Hey you, get up and get ready we are leaving in twenty minutes." He didn't even look at Merlin, he just talked while changing his shirt and shoes.

"Where?"

"To the cinema and then to the ice rink. A boy's night, what do you think?"

"That I'm in for anything." He shoved his camera in his bag and straightened his hair. "I'm ready." He wanted to hang around with the boys and try to forget about his life for a little while.

He expected to distract himself with the film but it was a lost cause. What had been planned as a boy's night turned out to be boys iand girls/i had invited Gwen and she had brought Morgana, and with them came the other girls from their college.

Morgana, Gwen and Arthur had known each other since kindergarten. Gwen was the daughter of one of Uther's friends, and she used to spend a lot of time at Morgana and Arthur's when they were kids. That's how Merlin met her, when he came to the house after his father's death. They had all lost a parent at some point in their life, something they all had in common.

Igraine had died giving birth to Arthur and Morgana so they had never known their mum. Merlin lost his father when he was seven because of a cancer and Gwen's mum had an accident when Gwen was five.

When it was finally time to go to high school the girls where sent to a girls only college and the boys to a boys only one. The colleges were close so when they had free weekends they spent it together, something that the other boys were grateful for because Morgana and Gwen always brought some of their classmates. That's how they knew Vivian, Sophia or Freya.

So it was safe to say that all the boys were pleased with the change except for Merlin. It would have been all right if Vivian hadn't come. Merlin had wanted to sit besides Arthur but Vivian took his place and Arthur had done nothing to prevent it. So Merlin ended up sitting beside Freya and looking at Arthur and Vivian all trough the film. At first it was just two persons sitting together side by side, but as the film went on Vivian got closer and closer to Arthur. She even dared to put her hand on his thigh and Arthur didn't move it away.

Merlin had been all right until that moment, but seeing Arthur letting Vivian put her hands on him killed him. If that was what Arthur wanted at least he could be honest with Merlin and not have him waiting for an answer that wasn't coming.

Freya saw his face and caught his hand and held it till the end of the movie. She didn't know anything about the conversation but she did know about his feelings for Arthur.

When the film ended, it was obvious this had turned into a couples' night. Percy was fooling around with Sophia, Will was all over Morgana who seemed more entertained than interested in Will though it didn't seem to bother Will - nothing did -, Lance was holding hands with Gwen and Leon was by Merlin's side flirting with Freya, who was flirting back. Gwaine and Elena were talking and he was flirting with her which made her blush all over and be more clumsy than normal, but Gwaine laughed and she smiled and they looked perfect. And Arthur… Arthur was with Vivian who was hanging off his arm and Merlin was feeling stupid, like an… eleventh wheel?

So what was going to be a great night turned into a nightmare. At least he had his camera with him and could take some photographs - something that always made him happy. His father had always loved photography and he took photos for birthdays and weddings as favors to his friends. He gave Merlin his first camera and taught him how to use it, how to wait for the right moment to take the picture. He taught him that anything could be beautiful, you just had to make it shine under the right light and take the photo with hope in your heart, cause it always touched the picture. He said that even painful and sad moments were worth a shot, that it was them what made the happy ones shine brighter.

They were all skating in the ice while Merlin and Freya sat in the corner.

"You should go with Leon, Freya."

"And leave you alone? No way." She was a good friend but Merlin didn't want her to lose her chance to have something great with Leon because of him.

"Go, really. I'll be fine. I'll feel better if I know that one of us is having fun, so please, go have fun."

She left and he kept taking photos of his friends, all having fun - even Morgana and Will - who were skating together. Merlin had expected Morgana to slap Will at one of his sexist and crude comments but Morgana seemed more amused with Will than offended.

He had tried not to look at Arthur at all that night, but when Vivian jumped him and they started kissing in the middle of the rink Merlin's eyes turned to them of their own volition. He couldn't believe it. So this was what Arthur wanted to use the time Merlin had given him for? He was almost crying when Morgana and Will sat beside him.

"Hey, baby, don't look at him. Look at me, alright?" Morgana was trying to avert his eyes from the scene before he could do something stupid like crying. When he finally looked, he saw her smile sadly. She had always been like a sister to him. Merlin was sure that if Arthur hadn't ever existed and Morgana weren't so scary he would have fallen for her. But he didn't believe in incest and thinking about her as a potential girlfriend gave him a headache, no matter how beautiful she was he wasn't going there.

"Will told me what happened."

Merlin looked accusingly at Will. "What? Have you seen her boobs? They distracted me! I can't be held responsible." Morgana and Merlin started laughing and Will didn't even look embarrassed.

"The thing is that I know and I'm going to help you because I love you. But I'm just going to do it because I think he makes you happy – God knows why - and not because I think he deserves you." Morgana and Arthur had a strange relationship, they loved each other but they would never admit it. It was an unspoken agreement between the two of them that amused Merlin.

"You don't have to…" Will put a hand on Merlin's mouth before he could finish the sentence.

"Shut up, Merlin, the lady is talking. Don't be rude." Morgana smiled and winked at Will.

"Now that that's clear, this is the plan: You do as Will told you."

Will was grinning so hard Merlin was afraid his face would somehow get stuck like that. He hadn't taken his hand away from Merlin's mouth so Merlin bit him.

"Are you serious?"

"I'm completely serious, Merlin. You can't give my brother time and space because he would think the problem is over and solved. He's like a child. You have to stay all over him all the time to get him to do something. And that… my friend… is what you're going to do."

"And how do I do that? Besides, I think he just stated pretty clearly his position in all this." Morgana looked offended at Merlin's pessimism.

"Are you going to give up so easily? I thought I knew you better… I guess I was wrong." She made a move to leave but Merlin caught her hand.

"Okay, okay, what do I have to do?"

"He knows what being with a girl is like, it's comfortable and easy, so you have to make him desire you, make him go crazy. You have to show him what you've got."

"He knows what I got, he's seen it." Merlin didn't feel embarrassed at that point, he just wanted all the facts out there to make the plan work.

"Okay, that's good. This way he can picture it better. I'm not going to tell you how to do it, but you have to be creative, make him know what he would be giving up if he doesn't choose you."

"I love this girl, she's like my dream girl but with brains!" Will was fascinated with Morgana, one could tell by the smile in his face.

Merlin would have made a witty remark to Will but he had his mind occupied planning his next move. If he was going to lose Arthur, we would fight for him first. The war was on.


Merlin put his ice-skates on and after getting hold on the fence to steady himself he went to where Arthur was skating with Vivian.

"Hey, Arthur! Didn't you promise to teach me how to skate?" It had been years ago and Arthur backed down on the offer when he realized Merlin couldn't stand up on his feet for more than two seconds.

Arthur let go of Vivian and came closer to Merlin. "You know that's not a good idea. You could kill someone in those things." Arthur was trying to approach the matter with humor, but Merlin wasn't buying it.

"If you're too busy to do it, I'm sure I can find someone willing." He said looking at the twenty-two year old instructor that was always around the ice-rink.

Arthur glared at him with jealousy and recognition in his eyes and took a step forward until his mouth was on Merlin's ear. "I know what you're trying to do, Merlin."

"Oh, but I didn't pretend to keep it a secret. The only question here is what you are going to do about it." Merlin looked again to the side and waved to the young instructor with a charming smile on his face.

Arthur looked at the both of them for a while and then went back to Vivian to whisper something in her ear. Merlin knew it was good news by the way she glared at him, and all he did was smile brightly with his most innocent smile.

Vivian looked angry and about to make a scene, but something stopped her. She looked sweetly back at Arthur and told him that of course he could spend some time with a friend. Her face changed as soon as she looked in Merlin's direction and when she walked past him she said something about stupid friends who wanted to separate her from her prince charming.

Arthur came back to him and grabbed his wrist with force and tried to take him to the center of the rink, but Merlin's clumsiness wasn't a joke and Merlin ended up with his ass on the ice.

"Don't be such a prat, Arthur. You have to be patient and careful with me, you said it your self, I'm a public danger."

Arthur huffed and helped Merlin stand up and tried to take him to the center again, but Merlin didn't move.

"What now, Merlin." Arthur looked exasperated.

"Can't we just stay by the side at first? I don't want to kill anyone…?"Merlin was a little nervous for he was really awful at keeping his balance and didn't want to hurt anyone. He just wanted to get Arthur away from Vivian, not provoke a blood bath with the ice-skates' razors.

Arthur smiled and took him back to the side.

He tried to help Merlin for almost half an hour but Merlin's inability to stay firm was getting on his nerves.

"Okay, Merlin, one more time and this time try to move your feet. They are there for a reason."

Merlin was trying hard but his body didn't want to do as he asked and he was hurting all over. Even the rest of the boys had stopped laughing a while ago. Merlin guessed that after seeing someone hit the ice on his ass a hundred times it stopped being funny.

Arthur was in front of him holding his hands and trying to make him move forward, suddenly they were moving and Merlin wasn't on the ground and he was so exited that he tried to speed up his feet, a terrible mistake because he lost his balance again and fell forward knocking Arthur down in his fall.

Falling Arthur hit his head and Merlin his stomach when he fell on top of him. Merlin moved over quickly to attend to Arthur's head.

"It's okay, Merlin, I'm fine." He was sitting down and touching his head while he looked at Merlin. "But you're not to ice-skate anymore. You're too dangerous." He smiled and punched him on the shoulder.

Arthur stood up and went to the bathroom leaving Merlin alone on the floor. He was feeling stupid, in films when you asked the guy you liked to teach you it was always romantic and you ended up kissing, but all he had achieved was a sore ass and public humiliation in front of his friends and a bunch of strangers.

Will came to his rescue and helped him out of the ice-rink.

"God, that was pathetic! If you're trying to make him horny, clumsiness is not the way, mate."

Morgana tried not to laugh but it was clear she agreed with Will. This friendship between those two worried him.

Merlin didn't want to hear another 'go for him' speech so he took his ice-skates off and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

But when he entered the bathroom he saw Vivian attached to Arthur by the lips and it made him see red. He wasn't thinking straight when he grabbed Arthur by his shirt and pulled him away from Vivian throwing him against the wall.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Of course, Vivian and her shrill voice wouldn't shut up. "You can't keep us apart, we're meant to be together."

Merlin laughed and carried her out of the bathroom locking the door after her. Even if she kept banging at the door he didn't care.

Arthur seemed amused by the situation, which only infuriated Merlin more.

"Looks like I'm not the only who is jealous here." The prat even dared to grin self-consciously.

Arthur may have been playing with Vivian but Merlin wasn't in the mood for that kind of thing. He was going to show Arthur he was no saint and that this wasn't a joke. Merlin smiled and got closer to him.

He was so close that they were sharing their breaths and Arthur started breathing faster while Merlin's determination kept him calm. Merlin didn't take the last step between them, he just let the tip of his tongue out and traced Arthur's lips with it. Without moving away he started talking.

"Yes Arthur, I'm jealous because you do to others what I want you to do to me." He said it while he placed his hand on Arthur's bulge and started pulling down Arthur's zipper. He was tired of Arthur's indecision; tonight he would get something out of him.

Arthur groaned at the feel of Merlin's hand on his groin, took the last step forward and kissed Merlin furiously. Merlin felt like he was melting under Arthur's kisses, he couldn't believe they were finally doing it and all he wanted was more, more, more. Merlin bit Arthur's lower lip until he dragged blood to the surface and then licked and when it wasn't enough he pushed Arthur further against the wall and explored his mouth with his tongue.

It was delicious and weird and it felt so right that it was killing him. His cock was growing harder and harder and Merlin didn't know what to do but then Arthur moved and it felt brilliant, so Merlin let Arthur's cock go and moved against him aligning their cocks so they would touch every time they moved.

Somehow everything went to shit because Merlin was being pushed backwards, away from Arthur and his warmth and it felt wrong and Merlin wanted to scream and go back to Arthur's arms. But it was Arthur who was moving Merlin away and Merlin didn't understand it, he thought Arthur had wanted it, for he had been the one kissing him first.

Arthur kept pushing Merlin backwards until he left him against the sink, and then he walked backwards until his back hit the toilet door in front of Merlin. He was sweating and breathing hard, his hair was messed up and his lips red for the abusing, and Merlin had never seeing him look more perfect and beautiful.

Merlin tried to go back to him but Arthur stopped him with a look.

"We can't do this Merlin, you promised me time." He wasn't looking at Merlin and Merlin laughed because, whatever was holding Arthur back, he had broken the barriers once and he could do it again.

"The deal ended the moment you kissed that bitch, Arthur. Right now you're fair game." Merlin walked up to Arthur and grabbed him by his shirt. Arthur's face was one of shock and surprise but he let himself be manhandled by Merlin, who walked back till his lower back hit the sink. Merlin let go of Arthur's shirt and lifted himself up to sit on the sink.

Merlin got Arthur closer and kissed him sweetly. It wasn't fast like the first one but languid and warm and full of promises. He lowered his hand and caught Arthur's cock in a tight fist. Merlin felt Arthur's whimper of surprise on his mouth and it was perfect. He tangled his tongue with Arthur as his hand stroked his cock and moved up and down his length. Merlin lifted his legs to wrap them around Arthur's waist and brought him closer to feel him better. Arthur's hands grabbed Merlin's hair and pulled his head back giving him a perfect view of his neck which he devoured ferociously with open mouthed kisses and teeth and tongue before going back to Merlin's mouth. Arthur's kisses were getting more and more erratic as his climax grew closer and after a while they weren't kisses but tongues colliding and twisting outside their mouths. When Arthur's orgasm hit him he hid his head on Merlin's neck, biting and licking with every spasm.

Merlin's hand was smeared with Arthur's come and he didn't know what do to, what the protocol was after you had jerked your best friend off in a bathroom and you had his come all over your hand, warm and sticky. He wanted to taste it, see how Arthur tasted and he took his finger to his mouth and sucked on it while Arthur watched him intensely. He cleaned his hand and then tucked Arthur's cock back into his pants and fastened his zipper.

"Merlin… that was…" Arthur was out of words, and it made Merlin smile.

"I know, Arthur. I know." Merlin jumped down from the sink and stood closer to Arthur. He was hard, but right now he had done all he wanted to do and he was okay with it. Tonight he would have time to jerk off in his room remembering Arthur's sounds when he came or the warmth of his tongue inside his mouth. Merlin smiled shyly and gave him a sweet peck on the lips before turning around and fixing himself on the mirror.

Before he could walk out of the bathroom he turned around and with a new wave of courage he looked at Arthur - who was looking at him through the mirror - and with a wink he told him. "I can do it with my mouth… if you choose me. Just so you know."
