“Wow Arthur.” Merlin whispered, his hand rubbing up and down Arthurs bicep where it rested on the back of the sofa. “That’s amazing; you were able to help so many people.”
“No. It was nothing really. Just a drop in the ocean of things that need doing.”
“But it is something.” They stared at each other for an intense moment before Arthur dropped his head in uncharacteristic shyness and - my god, was he blushing?
“Well, my father was furious. He wanted me to join the family business. I had to tell him I was staying out there to sleep on the floor and build drainage systems.” Arthur chuckled humourlessly, head still aimed at his knees. Merlin reached out his hand to Arthur chin and raised it gently.
“It was really brave.” Merlin whispered. And they started staring at each other again. Morgana was sensing this staring was starting to become an issue with them so clearing her throat she stepped forward into the room.
They both jumped as if electrocuted and she was met with a confused stare from Merlin and a furious one from Arthur.
“Morgana?” Merlin asked, rising from the sofa, a worried frown marring his forehead.
“I’ve just come to go over the Sunday morning announcements and to look for my brother; it seems I am in luck.” Morgana replied giving Arthur a stare that meant she wanted some kind of explanation.
“I bumped into Merlin on my tour of the village and he was kind enough to show me around.” Arthur stated, rising from the sofa also to standing elbow to elbow with Merlin. Morgana watched Merlin unconsciously lean into the body beside him and frowned between the two.
“Yes. And Arthur has been telling me all about his travels. They sound fascinating.” Merlin was starting to sport the same look he got when Leon hired a new contractor for his house, who would pop round to Merlin’s house for lemonade every lunch time.
“I don’t doubt.” She shook her head, “I’ll leave these with you.” She took out a sheaf of papers from the binder for Merlin and handed them to him, which he promptly dropped and crouched on the floor collecting them with murmured apologise.
“Arthur we should go, dinner will be ready soon.” Morgana said pointedly to Arthur who was crouched on the floor next to Merlin, seeming to be causing more harm than help as whenever he brushed Merlin’s fingers Merlin fumbled whatever he was holding and promptly dropped it again.
Morgana looked at Arthur with a raised eyebrow until he rose from the ground, lifting Merlin by the elbow and brushing imaginary lint from the vicar’s shoulders.
“So I should go then,” Arthur sighed eventually, his hand now cradling Merlin's elbow, “thank you for… showing me around and keeping me company.”
“No really. It was my pleasure; I hope we can do it again sometime.” Merlin smiled shyly in response
“Yes.”
“Yes.” And then they lapsed into staring again.
“Arthur!” Morgana barked with an accompanied eyeroll when Arthur blinked to attention.
“Right, yeah I have to go.”
“You should come by the church hall tomorrow. Gwen has the children putting on a musical version of Dr. Who. It is supposed to be excellent.” Merlin said with an enthusiastic grin that had to be faked because Gwen’s last foray into musical theatre (‘The Sad Tale of Felix the Flea’) definitely didn’t need an encore.
“OK. I’ll be there.” Arthur nodded enthusiastically.
“I’ll save you a seat, best in the house.”
“Next to you then?” And Merlin ducked his head and blushed uncontrollably, so to save him from further embarrassment Morgana grabbed her brother by the arm and dragged him from the house shouting a terse “Bye Merlin” over her shoulder and hearing Arthur shout a more enthusiastic ‘see you tomorrow Merlin’ as she closed the door.
- There should be more later :S
