This is malexmale. (Eventually.) I apologise in advance for any mistakes that I may have made.


Merlin walked into the pub and saw a bloke with a red hoodie on sitting at the bar. Merlin took a deep breath and gulped before moving forward towards him. Merlin tapped him on the shoulder and waited as the blond haired man turned around. "Yes?"

"Arthur Pen-?"

Arthur hopped off his stool. "Yep that's me. Photographer?"

Merlin frowned, confused as to why Arthur would state his profession rather than his name. Merlin nodded and Arthur smiled. "Great. My flat is just round the corner, lets get going."

"Now?" Merlin said, looking a bit nervous.

Arthur noticing this smiled. "Don't worry. I have plenty of drink back at the flat to calm your nerves. Come on." Arthur walked out of the pub and Merlin followed.

Five minutes later, a first time photographer by the name of Gwaine walked in and sat at the bar, waiting for Arthur.


Arthur unlocked the door to his flat and walked in. "Come on in." Merlin followed, looking around as he slowly entered the flat.

"Drink?"

"Please."

Arthur gestured Merlin to sit down whilst he walked over to his mini bar to get them both a drink. He came back and sat next to Merlin with two glasses of whisky and passed one to Merlin. "There you are. Calms the nerves doesn't it."

Merlin nodded and drank the contents of glass in one go. Arthur raised his eyebrows. "I guess you were ready for that."

"I was."

Arthur smiled and took a sip from his glass before putting it down on the table and standing up.

"Now we have had a drink to calm our nerves, lets get started. Merlin watched as Arthur took his hoodie off and draped it over the back of a chair, then pulled his top over his head, chucking it on the chair where his hoodie was. He turned around and faced Merlin as he started to undo his jeans. "Come on then." Arthur said before disappearing in to the room opposite Merlin. Merlin picked up Arthur's glass and finished the drink off before stripping down to his boxer shorts and following Arthur.


When Merlin entered the room he froze when he saw the camera that Arthur was stood in front of. "Right then. Are you alright to-?" Arthur stopped when he looked up and saw Merlin standing there in just his boxer shorts.

"I don't think I'm going to be comfortable doing it in front of a camera."

"Doing what? You'll be behind the camera."

Merlin frowned. "What?"

"Taking the photos."

"You want me to take pictures of you?"

"What else do you think you're here for."

"I don't know. I thought we was going to stay in the pub for a while. I know we have talked quite a bit on the website but we still need to get to know each other better."

Arthur frowned. "What website?"

"What do you mean 'what website?' The one we have been using to talk to each other over the last few weeks."

"What's your name?"

"Merlin Emrys."

"Merlin I think there has been some kind of misunderstanding here."

"You are Arthur Penn aren't you."

"No."

"You said you was in the pub."

"I cut you off so you wouldn't have to say my last name. I don't like it being broad-casted."

"What is your name then."

"Arthur Pendragon."

Merlin frowned. "That name rings a bell." after a moments thought, Merlin looked at Arthur. "You're that model." he said pointing at Arthur.

"I am." Merlin was suddenly aware that he was in his boxer shorts, standing in front of one of the hottest models going. Merlin blushed. "Oh my god. I am so sorry. I'm so embarrassed. I thought you was someone else." Merlin stumbled out of the room and hurried to put his clothes on, feeling even more uncomfortable as he knew that Arthur had followed him and was now watching him as he got dressed. "I met someone on this website and he said that he would meet me in that pub and would be wearing a red hoodie. I saw you and thought it was you." When fully clothed Merlin ran to the door. "Once again I am so sorry." and then he was gone before Arthur had a chance to say something.

Arthur walked over to his phone and started to dial a number. "Hello? Lancelot? It's me Arthur. I need you to get over here as soon as."

"I'm on my way Arthur. Be there in ten minutes."


Fifteen minutes later, Lancelot was sat on Arthur's settee laughing. "It's not funny Lancelot. You should have seen his face when he realised. He was so embarrassed and sorry. I want to find him Lancelot. And I want your help in doing so."

"What's his name?"

"Merlin Em." Arthur frowned. "Em something."

Lancelot stood up. "Merlin Emrys?"

"That's it."

"Was he tall, skinny with short black hair?"

"And blue eyes." Arthur said smiling.

Lancelot raised his eyebrows. "What?"

Arthur shook his head. "Yes. Tall, skinny, short black hair."

"I'll take you to him tomorrow if you like."

"You know him?"

"I know of him. Guinevere has hired him to be our photographer at our wedding."

"He's a photographer?"

"Has his own shop and everything." Lancelot opened his wallet and took out a card and passed it to Arthur. "That's his business card."

Arthur looked down at it and saw Merlin's name printed upon it along with phone number, mobile number, fax number and the address of where his shop is.

Arthur smiled and looked up at Lancelot. "Whatever I have on tomorrow, can you cancel. I have a busy day tomorrow with one Merlin Emrys."
