Hunith looked up from her book and over to the sandbox where the boys were building a sandcastle - or maybe a cake, or whatever their imagination came up with - just in time to see Merlin wrap his little arms around Arthur clumsily and say with all the earnestness a four-year-old could muster: “I love you.”

“When I grow up, I’m going to marry Merlin!”
“You’re nothing but a ten year old idiot.”
“Am not! I’m going to marry Merlin!”
“You can’t. He’s a boy. Boys can’t marry boys.”
“Can, too. You’re mean, Morgana!”
“And besides, he’s the son of the housekeeper! You can’t marry him even if you could marry a boy!”
Gaius smiled and kept on walking down the hallway. It was just another one of Arthur’s and Morgana’s little fights. He hoped that summer was over soon and school would start , so they would be distracted by their friends again.

Leon hid behind his books at the library desks and pretended he didn’t notice Gwen and Merlin walking in.
“I know, Gwen.”
“But he’s Arthur Pendreamy! And he’s your best friend!”
Merlin sighed. “Tell me about it. It’s hell to live in the same house.”
“Nonsense. You get to see him at breakfast. And after school. And you can watch when he’s in the pool, doing his workout. You could just go out and join him.”
“That’s one of the issues.” Merlin hung his head and his shoulders slumped.
Gwen laughed. “Oh, I see. There’s no T-shirt wide enough to hide…you know.” She blushed and giggled.
Since they obviously hadn’t noticed him, Leon cleared his throat. There were things he didn’t need to hear about his team captain.

Percy didn’t dare to move.
“Sshhhh, we’re waking him up!” Merlin whispered.
“Don’t worry, he sleeps like a horse. And snores like one most of the time.”
He wanted to protest, he did NOT snore like a horse! At least not all the time! But the moans and the heavy breathing prevented him from turning over. They were not…were they?...they were! Percy blushed bright red. He knew that Arthur and Merlin fucked like rabbits whenever they got the chance, but he never thought they’d be doing it here, in Arthur’s and his room on campus. At least not with him in said room!
He was sporting a boner that almost hurt by the time Merlin couldn’t hold back a little cry and Arthur grunted ‘Damn, I love you’ as he came.

Elyan leaned against the counter and idly polished it for the thousandths time. It was a slow night, the only customers Merlin and Arthur, who came here each Wednesday since the diner was half way between Merlin’s book store and Arthur’s office. He’d served them their dinner and their espressos after desert and just decided to go over and check on them again.
“Merlin, I…”
“Why are you so nervous tonight, Arthur? Is something wrong?”
“Not at all, it’s just…” Arthur took a deep breath and put a little box on the table.
Merlin frowned. “What is this? The key to your apartment? Arthur, I have your spare key for a year now, I basically live there.” He looked up and smiled.
“Open it.”
Elyan tried not to watch but couldn’t tear his eyes away as Merlin slowly opened the box, stared at the content and then pulled out what seemed to be a silver ring.
Merlin smiled. “A wizard’s hat and a sword.” His finger slid over the engraving Elyan couldn’t see.
“Marry me, Merlin.”

Lancelot smiled warmly as his friends walked down the make-shift isle together. The garden of the Pendragon estate was decorated tastefully and the red carpet that divided the rows of chairs was covered in rose petals. All of their friends were there and Lancelot was proud that Merlin and Arthur had asked him to marry them.
So they went through with the little ceremony and the assembled guests grinned and chuckled as they said their vows - Merlin’s wonderfully phrased and eloquent, Arthur’s more along the lines of ‘damn, you’re so hot, how could I not marry you?’.
Even Lance laughed when the chaste ‘you may kiss the groom now’ threatened to get out of hand for a moment and then almost sighed when he heard Merlin whisper as he pulled back “Till the end of time.”
Arthur squeezed his hand and nodded before they turned to take the congratulations of family and friends.
