Title: Underneath it All
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 3765
Warnings/Spoilers: Piercings
Summary: Arthur acts without thinking, grabs Merlin's arm and pulls him around. And Merlin makes a sound that goes straight to Arthur's heart and stops it cold. It's a cry, low and ragged and his eyes are round as marbles, staring straight at him.
"Fuck, Merlin," Arthur snarls. "You're still going to tell me nothing's wrong? You're hurt."
Merlin's laughter is choked and completely humorless. "No. I'm really not."
