"Merlin, where have you been." Accusing he looks at him. "I've been waiting the whole day for you." He walks towards him and the young sorcerer retreats immediately. "Arthur please, I.." Arthur smiles. "Merlin, everything is alright. Believe me, nobody will disturb us now. Just you and me.." He grins and Merlin makes another step backwards. "Merlin, I didn't know that you are that shy? You don't need to be. Come here. We have all the time in the world. The evening has just begun."Sheepish Merlin starts to collect his king's clothes and all the other thing Arthur has thrown through in his room. He has done his job. Everything is vandalized. Arthur takes his clothes out of Merlin's hands and throws them back on the ground. "Merlin you are not here to work now. You can do that tomorrow." Despaired Merlin looks up. What should he do? "Arthur.. yes, I'm shy. You are right. You know, everything between us is going so fast... Maybe we should start with trying to get to know each other better?" Artur walks towards him. He faces Merlin directly. "Get to know each other better?" He looks into Merlin's eyes. "Why not. What do you want to start with?" Merlin looks around. His view catches the big bed. He sits down on it. "Why don't you sit here down with me and we'll have a little chat?"
Arthur looks at him with a smug smile in his eyes. "A chat?" He sits down next to him. Merlin nods. "A chat. You know, I tell you some things about me and you tell me some things about you." Arthur gets closer to his friend and looks into his eyes. "Merlin, you know me better than I do. What could I tell you about me? But I can show you some things you don't know about me. I understand why you are that shy. You aren't as experienced as I am." He smiles. "Merlin, don't worry, you can't disappoint me. And I promise I will be very gentle and careful with you." He bends over Merlin to kiss him. Merlin tries to jump up. Arthur sighs. "Its alright. Don't run away. If you need a chat to relax, we will have a chat." He lays down next to Merlin and starts talking..
In the next morning Arthur wakes up at first. He is relaxed and has slept wonderful. In his back he feels the heat of his wife, who is cuddling. A perfect morning. He turns towards Gwen to kiss he, as he jumps up. "Merlin!" Merlin lies next to him in his bed and sleeps. Arthur sits up and looks around. What happened? His head hurts. He tries to remember what has happened last night. But there is nothing but emptyness. Horrified he looks down to Merlin. Merlin awakes and stretches himself relaxed. As he opens his eyes, he looks into the angry eyes of his master. "Merlin! What are you doing here? Get out! And where is Gwen?" Merlin jumped up ashamed, he tries to find the right answer. Just in this moment Gwen enters the room. Amused she looks at Merlin and then at Arthur. The king now also jumps up. "Gwen this is not what it looks like. It is different.." Gwen grins and nods towards Merlin who breathes deeply immediately and leaves the room. Gwen walks towards Arthur. Her husband is blushed and is looking for any explanation.
