Hey guys. Thank you for following and favouriting this story! I'm very good at procrastinating, so if you want one everyday, that might be hard for me to do :P But I hope you enjoy this one! R & R Please! I also apologise if I have made any mistakes!
The night before had been confusing. Merlin thought he was imagining things. But once he realized it wasn't a dream, he was even more confused. Was Arthur gay? No, surely not. He'd had girlfriends, but they weren't very long relationships. Merlin walked out of his bedroom only to see Arthur. He looked as if he hadn't slept at all. He saw Merlin and hesitantly looked up at him. Merlin didn't know whether he was going to say anything, but then Arthur spoke.
"I'm sorry." Then added, "About last night, I mean."
"It's okay. I just want to ask one question."
"Go ahead."
"Okay, why did you do it?
"A different question." Arthur said after a while of thinking.
"Why, another question? What's wrong with the one I asked?" he said, curiosity getting the better of him.
"Just ask another one." Arthur said impatiently.
"Fine, Arthur, are you gay?" Merlin asked, looking straight into Arthur's eyes.
"No, I'm bisexual." He spoke with a soft voice, Merlin never noticed it before, but he almost always spoke like that. A calming tone. "Merlin?"
"Yes, Arthur."
"Merlin, you're staring at me. Do you have a problem with me?" Hoping Merlin was going to say no, he took a step forward.
"No," Merlin took a step forward, like he was drawn to Arthur by a spell, "I just, I just feel like, I don't know." Arthur was slowly walking toward Merlin now, talking.
"Merlin, are you gay?" He asked, wanting him to say yes. He didn't know why, but he felt like he was drawn to Merlin by a spell. A lovely, lovely spell.
"I'm not sure."
"Well, if I came closer, would you know then?" Arthur said, still walking slowly toward Merlin. "Would that be okay, Merlin?"
"Um, I suppose so." As they talked, they never stopped looking in each others eyes, apart from blinking. "Yes, I think so." They were nearly nose to nose, but it wasn't Arthur who leaned in, it was Merlin. His lips touched Arthur's and it felt so natural, like they'd done this a thousand and one times. Arthur responded easily and wrapped his hand around the back of Merlin's neck to pull him closer, and Merlin wrapped his arms around Arthur's neck, pulling them even closer together. Arthur opened his eyes when he didn't even realize he closed them, and Merlin had his closed. He closed his eyes again, and smiled into the kiss. Merlin felt like he'd never need to move ever again, that this was all he needed. But after a while they had to pull away for some air.
"Arthur?"
"Yes, Merlin?"
"Arthur, I think I'm bisexual too."
"Good, I'm glad, or this would be extremely awkward." He laughed and Merlin did as well. After a while of just standing there looking at each other, feeling comfortable, Merlin realized that they were still in their pyjamas, and he was shirtless. He told Arthur that he was going for a shower and Arthur went to change and go for a jog.
While Merlin was in the shower he thought about what just happened and smiled, though still a bit confused. It was weird when Merlin and Arthur hated each other, now they, like each other? Well a lot more than that, maybe even love each other. But he didn't think much of it. When he got out of the shower, he put a towel round his waist and walked from the bathroom to his bedroom without noticing Arthur watching as soon as he left the bathroom. Arthur walked into Merlin's bedroom and sat on his bed. Merlin was just looking through his draws for some clean clothes.
"Hi, Arthur."
"Hello, Merlin." Arthur just watched Merlin until he was asked to leave, so Merlin could get changed. Arthur was looking at the shelf with all of his and Merlin's DVD's and was looking through Merlin's when he saw a particular one that caught his eye. He picked it up and walked over to Merlin's door.
"Can I come in?"
"Yeah." Arthur opened the door and walked in holding the film in front of him. "What've you got that for?"
"Oh, I thought we could watch it tonight." Gesturing towards the TV, "Please?"
"Okay, but not now, later."
"Good enough for me."
The day went well, the sat and watched TV and Merlin fell asleep in Arthur's arms more than once. Arthur stroked his hair absentmindedly then drifted off himself. They woke to a knock at the door. Merlin got up quickly and answered.
"Hey, is Arthur there?"
"Yeah sure, Arthur Leon's here." Arthur got up and went to the door while Merlin went to see what time it was. Almost 9 p.m. and they still needed to watch the film.
"Leon, now's not a good time."
"Why?"
"Well, you know I'm kinda bisexual."
"Yeah."
"Well I'm kinda dating Merlin and we're about to watch a film, sooo."
"Okay, I'll come by tomorrow."
"Bye." And Leon walked down to hall to his own dorm. Arthur walked back over to the living area to see Merlin setting up the DVD. He sat down on the sofa and watched Merlin sort it out easily. When Merlin sat on the sofa with Arthur the film started playing.
"How to Train Your Dragon is such a good film." Merlin said when the title came up on screen.
At a certain point in the film where Toothless (the Dragon) lets Hiccup (the boy) touch him.
"I'll never get tired of this scene." Then Arthur leans toward Merlin then grabs Merlin's hand and puts it on his head. "What?"
"Your dragon's telling you he loves you." Arthur smiled at Merlin's reaction to what he just said, then Merlin leaned in a kissed him again. "And I'll never get tired of kissing you, Merlin." Arthur said when they pulled away.
"Me either." Then pecked Arthur, and carried on watching the film.
