Day 2

On the second day of Christmas Merlin gave to me... two neckerchiefs

As per usual Merlin opened Arthur's door and entered his chambers a grin on his face and a skip in his step. It was Merlin's favourite time of the year: Christmas.

Merlin stoped at the window next to Arthur's bed at stared across the courtyard and the lower town, blanketed in untouched crisp white snow. So Merlin may or may not have used a little bit of magic to gain a white Christmas, but hey what harm can it do?

He pulled his gaze away from the window and to Arthurs sleeping form; lying shirtless, chest rising and falling rhythmically, sheets pushed down low.

"Let's have you lazy daisy!" Merlin half sung in an amazingly cheery voice jumping onto Arthur's bed like a puppy, pressing his lips to Arthurs and ending up straddling him as he sat up.

"Merry Christmas!" Merlin half shouted at a sleep Arthur rubbing his eyes.

They swapped presents and Merlin insisted Arthur opened his first. Arthur opened the package and pulled out two neckerchiefs looking up questioningly at Merlin.

"Well I know you have a 'thing' for neckerchiefs, and I thought it gives you more than just one to play around with."

Arthur pulled Merlin into a searing kiss and Arthurs present to Merlin was knocked onto the floor, forgotten.
