Lord of the Earrings 1waltzingstarJuly 29 2012, 20:05:15 UTC
“What the hell did you do, Merlin?” Arthur doubts his boyfriend is actually listening to him, judging by the way he tilts his head to look in the mirror at the shiny monstrosities he’s had jammed through his earlobes.
He’s smiling at his reflection, using long fingers to fluff his hair just so, tucking loose strands of unruly black behind large, pink tinged ears so that the earrings are on prominent display. “I’m thinking of getting gages in them later, Artie. Like, maybe some of those big ones that you can stick your finger through.”
Arthur doesn’t know which he hates more: the fact that Merlin has just called him “Artie” like he’s some adolescent prat, or the way Merlin’s wriggling his finger around while those baby blues sparkle like it’s fucking Christmas. He decides he hates it all.
“I hate it.”
“Good job I didn’t ask your opinion, then, isn’t it?” Merlin ruffles Arthur’s hair and Arthur thinks he’s going choke on his scream of frustration. Merlin is unfazed by his glare. “You’ll get used to it.”
“If you do not take those out this very second, you will never see me naked again.”
