I'm going to write short stories each day up until Christmas. They'll probably be Merlin.
Here's the first:
Peppermint Mocha Lovin'
“I got you your favorite,” Merlin says, slides into the seat next to Arthur and pushes a full Styrofoam cup towards him.
Arthur takes only a moment to look at it before continuing to type on his laptop.
“Ginger lattes are not my favorite anymore,” Arthur says, adjusting his glasses further up his nose.
“Not ginger,” Merlin says, smiles and sips weakly at his own coffee. He wraps his fingers around the warmth. The beanie he is wearing falls just a little down his forehead when he tilts his head back for another sip.
“I’m not guessing what it is,” Arthur grouches, “if it’s anything not to my taste you should bring it back for another flavor now.”
Merlin only smiles wider, “Trust me for a change.”
Arthur stops typing long enough to grasp the cup and take a long swig. The mint flavor strikes him before he gets the chance to realize how delicious it is.
“You like it don’t you,” Merlin says all knowingly beside him.
Arthur frowns, “it’s ok.”
“Your grin said otherwise,” Merlin points out.
Arthur has more and then leans over to peck Merlin on the lips, sure that they taste like peppermint mocha.
“You love Christmas time don’t you,” Merlin mouths against Arthur’s lips.
“I love Christmas because of you and your impeccable ability to know exactly what I need.”
