Merlin kissed back before he pulled away, blinking through the harsh rain. Arthur tugged him close, and Merlin breathed in his sent, Wood smoke and warmth. All Merlin could think was, this was right.
"You fool; it's been you all along. No one else, I promise. "
Merlin bit his lip and clutched Arthur's hand, "But what about Leon….he was in the room….and he….you spend so much time with him."
"Yhea because he likes Morgana and he might have known I liked you," Arthur said with a shrug. "So then, Merlin, you feel the same way, right?"
"No, prat, I been driving myself crazy trying to figure out who you like just because," Merlin said with gusto," no I wanted to know because I rather know and be hurt then having to figure it out slowly and see you like this. And I think my guesses where proper."
Arthur leaned in close," exscpeicly the last one. I never wanted you to get hurt, I wanted to tell you because I knew there was a chance but…I am glad I finally did." he kissed him again and Merlin wrapped his arms around him," I love you, Merlin."
Merlin smiled, " I know. Me too, I love you too."
They sat with their hands intertwined before Arthur nudged Merlin, " we should get back before they start to guess what happened."
"Ah let them guess because I think we might be a while."
The rain stoppedl as the two boys let themselves get lost in each other.
