Summary: It was only one night – and could never be repeated
Wasn't it good? Wasn't he fine? Isn't it madness He can't be mine?
Merlin knew that the single, somewhat drunken, tumble was the closest thing he and Arthur would ever have to a relationship.
Sober, unlike Arthur, Merlin had cherished every moment, memorising every touch, every word, every scent, every expression on Arthur's face. He took especial note of the sensation, of the taste, of Arthur's mouth on his.
And though I move my world to be with him; Still the gap between us is too wide
Another man, a servant, a warlock. Merlin and Arthur could never truly be.
