To Belong 4/4

[anonymous]

He feels Arthur's lips press against his hair, once, twice. His head jerks up in confusion, eyes meeting Arthur's, wide and startled. Arthur inhales sharply and for a breath or two the struggle is written across his face, but then he curses softly and fits his lips clumsily to Merlin's.

Merlin hasn't imagined Arthur kissing him. Hasn't permitted himself that liberty. These feelings he even now can barely acknowledge to himself have crept up slowly and stealthily, with no time for idle fantasies of what can never be. Except that now it is, a shock of heat against his mouth, chapped lips, rough and shaky. Arthur's hands cup his face as his tongue slides into Merlin's mouth. Merlin can't help the small moan that escapes him as the last of his walls crumble and he kisses back with a flush of fierce longing.

"Merlin, Merlin you know we..." Arthur mumbles against his lips.

"I know, I know."

But he needs this, thinks they both do, the heat and comfort they can draw from each other's touch. Merlin knows if he lets himself think about what they're doing, what will happen next, it will only open up a whole new slew of problems and lies and heartache. But right now, right now all that matters is Arthur's mouth on his, the way the ache in his heart seems to ease and intensify all at once, like sparks from a campfire, lighting up his whole being as they kiss.

Eventually they ease off, Arthur dropping light kisses to his still-damp cheeks.

"No more tears," he says and Merlin shivers.

"Ok," he nods, voice deep and rough, "Ok."

Arthur scrambles to his feet and holds out a hand to Merlin to pull him up. For a while they stand facing each other, hands clasped and unwilling to let go. Arthur opens his mouth to speak, but Merlin shakes his head.

"Not now, alright," he says. "There's too much... We'll talk later. Not now." Arthur nods his understanding. Merlin pulls his hand away. "The feast, you should..."

"Yes." He holds Merlin's gaze. "There's a place for you there, too, Merlin. There will always be a place for you in Camelot."

"I know," he says, and finds it's true, at last.

Oh. Oh. That was perfect. Something has to give, eventually, and this was lovely. Thank you, also.

Do you think that if I wish really hard this could happen in the show?

I really, really enjoyed this. Thanks so much for writing this fill, and managing it so brilliantly.

Oh, that was lovely. Loved that Arthur went to find Merlin and that he acknowledged that Merlin was important to him. Great job.
