Summary: there's a loose thread on arthur's jacket
A/N: Just a tiny little comment-fic (prose poem?) because merkuria posted the following gif in ella_bane's I ♥ Merlin/Arthur post and Merlin's subtext was screaming at me as loud as anything. :)
tell me if you (know who) made this gif that I can give credit!

there's a loose thread on arthur's jacket
I will have to mend it
I will have to take his jacket off
I will have to stay very calm
but when my hands are on his shoulders
and I can feel the heat radiating off him
I won't be able to stay very calm
then he'll say, "merlin!"
and I will bite my bottom lip and try to be quiet
and he'll say, "what are you looking at?"
and then I won't be able to be quiet
so I will say, "you"
and then he'll be quiet
and very, very still
and everything will move as if through honey
and it will all be a bit unreal
with this sort of humming noise in my ears
then his hands move up my arms
as if he thinks I'd run away
but of course I won't ever run away
and just to prove it (or not just to prove it) I'll kiss him
or he'll kiss me (as if the difference matters)
and I will feel like thirty days of sunshine
and I'll probably forget about the thread
but that's all right
because he'll have forgotten too
