I swear, all your stories make me want to just sit, grin like a loon, and go "Heee!" Arthur's such an adorable dork. ♥

Thank you :D :D That would always be a very welcome reaction! He is such a muppet, isn't he. He's just lucky he has a Merlin to put up with his emotional constipation and love him anyway ;)

Thanks so much for reading!

I think he just needed Merlin to take matters into his own hands, otherwise they'd be there forever!

Thanks for reading! :D

Yay, I'm very happy it could make you smile :D I certainly sniggered to myself a few times while writing it, I do love oblivious dorky Arthur and optimistic Merlin - he was determined to stick at it and get his man in the end!!

Thanks for reading :D

This story is so packed full of amazing little things, I hardly know where to start. The humour could not be more perfect. The characterisations are ridiculously adorable. And this Arthur makes me feel so much better about my cranky ways sometimes! :D :D

How much do I love that Merlin anticipated Arthur's rules-related protests, and not only looked it up in the handbook beforehand but cleared it with the department manager? Arthur is one lucky antisocial stick-in-the-mud. ♥♥

Oh, I love them!! Thank you so much.

It was the rubber band ball that did it. Once Arthur started that, Merlin realised he was never going to ravish him in the stock room and desperate measures were called for ;)

And you're very welcome, as always!! :D :D

Edited for immensely dodgy typo!!!!

Awww! I love how Arthur's so busy being in love irritated that he completely fails to notice Merlin courting him. &hearts

Being irritated is a full time job you know ;) Plus Arthur was exerting all that willpower on being professional and not snogging Merlin, some things were bound to slip past him :D Lucky Merlin is determined!

Thanks for reading!!
