An Exercise in Holding One's Breath 15/15 anonymous December 13 2009, 23:13:37 UTC
There were so many things he had wanted to do, so many ideas he had. He wanted to run his mouth along all the lines of Merlin’s body, he wanted to spread him open and fuck him with his mouth and his fingers and make him squirm and writhe and beg for more, and he wanted to wrap his mouth around his cock and see what Merlin tasted life, and feel Merlin’s fingers tangling in his hair and feel him lose control as Arthur swirled his tongue around him. He wanted to open himself up and lower himself down and then ride Merlin and just… God, he wanted everything, everything all at once.

There was a curious, ethereal feeling to the moment, like it would be gone if Arthur thought about it too much, like this was going to be the only time.

He paused, his hands pushing Merlin’s trousers down his hips, and just stared down at him, drinking him in, not sure what he wanted to do next. Merlin’s hand found his and pushed downwards impatiently.

“What do you want to do first?” he asked, and Arthur looked up in surprise. Their eyes caught and Arthur could see it there, all laid bare before him, Merlin decoded.

“You… you really mean this,” he said, pausing.

“And you call me the idiot,” Merlin said, his hand coming up to brush against Arthur’s cheek gently, tenderly. “I wouldn’t be doing it if I didn’t mean it.”

“But you never…” Arthur said slowly.

“And I never had a clue before you told me,” Merlin pointed out. He smiled, lazy, dirty, and full of promise. “Trust me, I’m not going anywhere. It’s been twenty three years… I can’t believe we only just got round to doing this.”

“If you’d been paying attention,” Arthur said, dragging Merlin’s trousers off and flinging them across the room, before setting to work on his own clothes, Merlin’s hands helping. “Then we could have been doing this twelve years ago.”

“You should have said something,” Merlin said, gasping as Arthur lowered his mouth to his chest again and began to suck his way down it, his fingers probing to find every sensitive spot they could, seeking them out and teasing at them one by one.

“I was waiting for you to get a clue,” Arthur said, looking up at Merlin, watching his eyes widen as he looked back. He could feel Merlin’s erection straining against his bare chest and he had to smile.

“Well you always said I was slow,” Merlin commented just as Arthur dipped his head lower to press a kiss to his inner thigh and one of his hands reached over to his bedside table, fumbling blind to find what he wanted.

His fingers wrapped around the lube and he pulled it out, smiling up at Merlin a little wildly. He slicked up one finger, watching Merlin watching him and, as he began to gently, slowly push it into him he pulled up to press kisses to Merlin’s throat.

“It’s okay,” he muttered, “It’ll be good, I promise…” he murmured into Merlin’s ear. “Relax…” He felt the muscles give and his finger slid in more easily as Merlin gasped. He swallowed down the noise with a messy, open mouthed kiss and pulled back to smirk again. “Twenty three years is a bit more than slow.”

“O…okay… very slow,” Merlin said, his eyes opening, pupils huge and unfocussed. “God… Arthur.”

He looked down at Merlin, spread beneath him, pale skin rosy and glistening with sweat, his hands clenched in the sheets and his mouth helplessly open in a silent moan and thought that this was probably worth waiting for.

And that's all, because I have insane difficulty writing actual porn (don't ask me why I hang around on a kink meme, idek). Sorry about the lack of marriage, but they just didn't want to fit that in.

Thanks! I really felt the need to write something cute and not plotty and dark, so this prompt was a godsend.

I absolutley love it, it’s fantastic! Angsty and cute and funny all in one, Arthur was so sweet but still very much in character and Merlin was kinda asholish but still Merlin how you managed that I have no idea but you did a great job. I love how innocent Arthur is in his love when they where young and how he tries so hard to not show Merlin how he feels while Merlin dosen’t even guess Arthur could be anything other than a ladies man.
I felt kinda sorry for Arthur that he had to wait that long but I really hope Merlin will stay with him now (if he leaves him I’ll find a way o jump into the fic and cut his balls of with a teaspoon) and isn’t just comforting himself with Arthur untill he meets a new girl.

I have to tell you that I almost didn’t read it because of the spoiler warnings (I have not yet watched season 2) but I’m really glad that I did, this was just so very good I think I have to read it again!

Phew, It's good to know you like it.

Merlin will definitely stay with him now (and they will have epic Mario Kart championships where they attempt to distract each other by talking dirty and they think up forfeits for the loser) and they will be happy and wonderful forever more.

The Season 2 spoilers aren't huge. But I know that some people don't like even a hint of what's going to happen, so I spoiler warning'd it up jic.

Thank you so much for the prompt. I was having trouble with inspiration and then I saw that and I just had to write it. A lovely way to end writer's block.

This was perfect the way it was. I love the different shades of love Arthur had over the years and the rich feel that he'd had a life outside of Merlin even if that undying unrequited love had always been there. The Morgana bits were great, loved the date with Gwen, Lance seemed like he was pretty awesome. And I loved the parts with Freya and Merlin, tragic in it's own sense. I love that you let Merlin actually get over it and you didn't rush anything. Everything happened in its own time and the most important thing seemed to be their friendship.

I think I sort of gushed over when Merlin was listing the things Arthur would have done as his best friend as he was realizing how far the love went. So utterly sweet. ♥

Thanks! It feeling too rushed was one of the things I was worried about, so it's good to know that I managed to pace it right. And thanks for noticing the secondary characters.

GOD, ANON. ILU. SO MUCH. *is the OMG the cute anon*

He had also known that Merlin was going to be his friend forever, in the way that five year olds did.

How adorable is that? I CAN'T EVEN. The whole way they meet and "insufferable" but neither knowing what it meant, Arthur standing up to a bully for Merlin but also making fun of his clothes. OH MY GOD. I AM DEAD OF CUTE.

Love Gwen's "let's not do that again." Awesome. Morgana with her ORLY? and seeing through Arthur. XD

But when Merlin won that race (because Arthur was too busy having a small sexual crisis to bother paying attention)

Poor Arthur...I love his reasonings for not liking girls, and it makes me giggle that he figures he can deal with spatula-wielding Hunith. And I'm sure Arthur sleeps with Pudsey, no matter what he says. :D

I really liked the way Merlin dealt with it especially because he left wearing only his boxers. It seems realistic that he needed some time, and Arthur deals with it by staring up at his ceiling. Poor boys.

And the Arthur angst makes me want to weep for him, trying to find love in the wrong places. It also breaks my heart that it's been years for him. :(

Freya! :D Poor girl. I'm glad she didn't die or anything, but I like that Merlin still feels that he can turn to Arthur even when his life is as messed up as it is.

...trying to find the sugar that Arthur hid in gradually more inconvenient places.

Hahaha! Love the humourous bits. I can completely see Arthur doing this to be a jerk. :D

He’d like to think that he would have, but he was nowhere near as good a person as he wished he could be.

Arthur! :(( Ridiculous inferiority complex, indeed. I love how Merlin's trying to say something, but Arthur's too stupid to let him say it and keeps interrupting. Brilliant. XD

“You’re straight,” he managed to say as the room suddenly filled with light.

:DDD

He looked down at Merlin, spread beneath him, pale skin rosy and glistening with sweat, his hands clenched in the sheets and his mouth helplessly open in a silent moan and thought that this was probably worth waiting for.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. Love the whole thing built on their friendship, the issues with sexual identity, their growing up in different ways, their separate relationships, etc. LOVE.

P.S. Please hang out here more.

ILU too for the awesome comment! You've picked out some of my favourite parts (the sugar, oh how I love the idea of the sugar... I don't know where that came from, but I love it).

Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much. I had so much fun writing it.

I fully intend to.

Oh, this is so achey and wonderful. Poor Arthur! I just wanted to give him a hug through the majority of the fic. Beautifully paced, excellently characterized. I loved it!

Thanks! Pace and characterisation were two of the things I was concerned about so it's good to know I got them right. :)

THANK YOU! Don't worry, your incoherent keyboard smashing makes me happy. There are fewer better compliments than having reduced someone to speechlessness. Thanks for reading and enjoying it so much you commented.
