Rating: PG
Genre: general
Characters: Merlin/Arthur
Summary: Merlin really hated Yule-tide.
"Merrrrllinnn," Arthur moaned into Merlin's abused ear.
The prat had been doing that all evening. Apparently, Yule-tide was the perfect excuse for revelry and in Camelot, that meant the nobility got thoroughly pissed. Which meant Arthur kept bumping into him and wafting alcohol-soaked breath in his face.
Merlin dropped Arthur into bed, readying him for night. Unhelpful prat that he was, the prince pulled him down, too, and started nuzzling him.
Ordinarily, he'd have loved it but not if it wasn't real.
"Merrrlinnn… Merl… ," a wine-laden, "Love…,"
Snore.
Now the prat had to sleep? Now?
Merlin really hated Yule-tide.
