“Loose the leggings.”
Merlin turns to face Gwen in her computer screen.
“Why?” She asks with a frown.
“Because I said so.” The other girl smirks and waits.
“You’re so bossy!”
She complains, but reluctantly, Merlin takes off the black pair of leggings she was wearing under the jeans skirt Gwen had convinced her to buy.
“I feel naked.” Merlin complains tugging at the hem of the skirt.
“You look great.” Gwen smiles wide and Merlin rolls her eyes, but there’s a light blush on her cheeks.
“Why couldn’t you do this in person?”
“My parents wanted me to stay home since I just got back. They missed me.” Merlin nods, understandingly. “I see you at school, okay?”
“Yeah. See ya.”
She shuts the computer down before grabbing her messenger bag and climbs down the stairs, heading to the kitchen. Her mother almost drops her cup when she catches sight of Merlin and again, she tugs at the hem of the skirt self-consciously. Susan smiles.
“You look great, dear.”
“Yeah, Gwen said that too.” Merlin sighs. “I guess I’m just not used to it yet.”
“Probably.”
Susan smiles warmly as she watches the girl pour a glass of juice and grab a waffle.
“Sit down to eat, Merlin.” She chides amused and half-heartedly.
“Can’t.” Merlin replies with her mouth full. “Gotta run; gonna be late.”
She downs the entire glass of juice and lays a kiss on her mother’s cheek.
“Love you, mom.”
Susan smiles as Merlin rushes down the hall.
Love you too, honey.” She calls out before the front door slams shut.
Outside the house, Merlin runs into Arthur, who was about to knock on the door.
“Have you ever considered watching where you’re going?” He asks annoyed; she just rolls her eyes.
“You’re the one who were standing there.” Merlin replies gruffly. “What are you even doing here anyway?”
“I came to offer you a ride, since we will be attending the same school.” Arthur answers in a sharp tone.
“Oh.” Merlin blushes slightly and looks down, tugging her skirt again.
The motion makes Arthur’s eyes follow her hands and he catches sight of the garment. His eyes widen slightly in surprise but he quickly recovers and plasters a smirk in his face.
“Nice skirt.” He says turning around and heading to the car. “For a moment I thought you were a girl.”
Merlin scowls at his back, considering if she could get away with turning his hair pink.
“And for a moment I almost believed you weren’t such a prat.”
Arthur snorts, opening the driver’s door.
“Is that the only insult you know? It’s getting old.”
Merlin smirks, circling the car and pausing by passenger’s door.
“Oh, I have plenty more, but they are too inadequate to say out loud.”
Arthur chuckles, eyes sparkling with mirth, before he enters the car and put his sunglasses on.
The thought of how handsome he is briefly passes through Merlin’s mind before she shakes it off and climbs into the car. He’s a prat. A terrible, annoying, spoiled prat and she did not have a crush on him! No way! Absolutely not!
