Arthur takes the headphones with a roll of his eyes and blinks when he realizes what he’s listening to. “Opera, Merlin? What the hell? I mean, everyone wonders what you listen to on this thing all the time, but opera?”
Merlin takes the headphones back, feeling his cheeks go bright red. “It’s not usually. But I discovered Barber of Seville yesterday, and I just thought it was really cool. Sorry. I’ll let you get to class.”
“I’m not on my way to class, actually. Just going to get some coffee. Want to join?”
“Are you going to mock me about liking opera the whole time?”
“No, honestly. I was just surprised. I was expecting something obscure and indie. You always seemed that type.” He starts walking, and since Merlin’s headphones are still around Arthur’s neck, he follows, the feeling of bewilderment that is becoming increasingly common around Arthur rising, especially when half the student body seems to be staring at them. Merlin can’t blame them; Arthur seems completely unconcerned that with arrangements as they are, they can’t walk more than two feet apart.
Merlin retrieves his headphones when they reach the coffee shop and shoulders Arthur out of the way when they get to the head of the queue. “You paid last time, and I’m not completely broke,” he says when Arthur objects, and manages to pay the girl first.
They spend an hour in the coffee shop talking first about music and then about mutual acquaintances and then about how Professor Killian is clearly insane and writes the most cryptic comments on their assignments before Merlin has to go to work.
The next day, Merlin finds an envelope with a red rose taped to it on his doorstep. He opens it and finds two tickets to an opera, and a note: Roses are red/ Violets are blue/ Merlin, you idiot, if you haven’t figured this out by now there’s really no hope for you.
Suddenly, a whole lot of things start making sense that certainly didn’t before. “Holy shit,” says Merlin, and decides that perhaps he shouldn’t call Gwen just yet.

"...but opera?
Merlin takes the headphones back, feeling his cheeks go bright red."
So Merlin has his headphones, but then walks to with arthur because they're around his neck. Then it says:
"Merlin retrieves his headphones when they reach the coffee shop..."
So I could be wrong and the author meant two different actions, but that's how i see it.
