Tug of War [Warning: Character Death], 2c

[anonymous]

: : :

Merlin is good at what he does - a people pleaser, easily fallen in love with (Arthur would know) - and has every doctor at St Thomas’ wrapped around his finger within a week of his arrival despite having tripped over a dozen electrical cords and nearly dousing the hospital director in coffee. Arthur treats Merlin to Roux for dinner that evening, hoping to quell his worry. Merlin fidgets the entire time, yanks at his tie obsessively and it takes all of Arthur’s patience to not straddle him in the middle of the restaurant.

He's also unsophisticated in a way that Arthur loves and hates but doesn't quite understand. After all, the concept of multiple forks shouldn't be a foreign one to any member of society.

Despite the mishaps, Merlin moves in legitimately a week later. No more single boxes at a time or a bag packed for one night at a time slung over his shoulder when he knocks.

It's a rainy Monday and Arthur, sopping wet and freezing from the cold, has never felt as complete as he does when he pushes open the door, drops his keys on the nearby table and finds Merlin waiting with a towel and a shy grin.

“Welcome home.”

I love this so much! ♥
And I'm so glad you have it all written out already so that it won't be unfinished, but I'm really scared for the inevitable divorce scene D:

It's lovely to get all this back story of their initially antagonistic meetings and the subsequent heady days of early love. In all the giddy, happy memories, this has me waiting on the edge of my seat for what went wrong: Their life together starts in a café on a Monday, with Merlin in faded orange scrubs and Arthur in freshly pressed Versace.

Strangely enough, years later it will end very similarly. They've just moved in together and all I can see is their break up.
