Ah, 2019. I don't feel any different. New years are overrated. 2019 is overrated. In one year no one will care about 2019, and it will be all about 2020. I want 2020 vision. I hate having to wear contacts.

Prompt: From Aria: A prompt in which Arthur finds out Merlin is ticklish. You decide what happens next XD

Rating: K+

Genre: Humor/Friendship

Characters: Merlin, Arthur

Time Frame: Season 5 post "The Hollow Queen" (and maybe "With All My Heart" to make up for the lightheartedness of this)

Summary: Arthur notices that something is off about Merlin and comes up with an answer. In doing so, he discovers something that Merlin wishes that he would have never found out about.

Let's Go On An Adventure

"Have you been off to see your lady friend again?"

Merlin put his towel back into his bucket. "What are you talking about, Arthur?"

Smirking devilishly, Arthur marked up to him and jabbed him in the stomach. "It's all right if you want to talk about it. Take it from me, someone who knows about women."

Merlin didn't respond because the second Arthur touched him, he started giggling.

For once, Arthur caught on and continued tickling him like the teasing older brother he was. "Ticklish are we? Does she know?"

Merlin laughed, the answer clear on his face.

If you guys remember, Gwen had told Arthur that Merlin was seeing a girl to excuse his absence in "The Hollow Queen." Obviously Merlin can't come up with any reasonable excuses for himself, so, while he probably told Arthur about Gwen shortly afterwards, chances are that Arthur probably still thinks that Merlin is shirking his duties for a girl (the poor girl).

The answer clear on his face? It can be interpreted in so many ways, including Arthur just thinking that there is an answer when there is none at all because the girl Merlin loves is dead.

Freya probably didn't know.

Ah, that time of time where I ask for reviews. How did you like it? Do you have any prompts that I must write or so help me? Tells me!

Next up: Camelot is suffering a drought, and Merlin must make it rain.
