Apr 20, 2012 09:46

I need to clean my house, and cleaning my house is always more fun when I do something silly on lj at the same time.

SO... faithwood said I should do this and good things usually happen when I listen to her ( Read more... )

Merlin handed the kid in front of him a dripping double-fudge-ripple, keeping his eyes on the surf. “Gwen, who’s that?”

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy marguerite_26 April 21 2012, 23:18:52 UTC

As Arthur's eyes travel Merlin head to toe, he's acutely aware of how pale and thin his is in comparison and thinks even a stained, sodden shirt would be so much better than this.

Arthur smirks, seeming to sense Merlin's discomfort. Gwen steps forward to shield him, glaring at Arthur.

"Yes?"

Merlin admires the cool, short question.

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy marguerite_26 April 21 2012, 23:28:13 UTC

Arthur bows his head, has the sense to look sheepish.

"Can I talk to the new guy for a minute," Arthur says, running a hand through his half-dried hair so it falls perfectly into his eyes. "Alone?"

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy alby_mangroves April 22 2012, 01:17:19 UTC

Merlin didn't know Gwen had this protective streak, and he grins, rubs her arm reassuringly, then steps around her, manning up.

"Let's go,"

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy marguerite_26 April 22 2012, 02:26:59 UTC

"No," Arthur says, looking over his shoulder at the crowded beach beyond the open door. "Here's better."

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy alby_mangroves April 22 2012, 02:35:28 UTC

Exasperated, Gwen tuts, then throws her apron on the bench.

"I'm taking my lunch break. I want hand-shaking and adult behavior, or else!"

Merlin watches her breeze past Arthur and grins nervously.

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy marguerite_26 April 22 2012, 02:41:35 UTC

"So..." Merlin crosses his arms over his naked chest, but stops when he feels he's just drawing more attention to it.

Arthur takes a step forward and Merlin can see the tint of red on his tanned shoulders.

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy alby_mangroves April 22 2012, 02:48:16 UTC

Blue eyes flit over Merlin's chest, with its little nest of dark hair over his sternum, and Merlin has never felt more exposed.

"Was that your girlfriend? She seems quite... protective," Arthur murmurs, suddenly on the verge of breaching Merlin's personal space.

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy marguerite_26 April 22 2012, 02:53:53 UTC

"Gwen?" Merlin shakes his head. "I just met her this morning. She's training me. I'm new in town and all that. I suppose she feels responsible to protect me from..."

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy alby_mangroves April 22 2012, 03:01:45 UTC

"...pretty prats?" Arthur finishes helpfully.

"Um. Yeah. About that," Merlin grimaces.

Arthur grins and closes the door behind him. "Yeah, about that."

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy marguerite_26 April 22 2012, 03:07:33 UTC

Merlin waits, wondering if he really needs to apologize to keep his job. He's not even sure he can get the words out, let alone make them sound sincere.

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy alby_mangroves April 22 2012, 03:33:32 UTC

Before Merlin can speak, Arthur takes the decision out of his hands.

He touches Merlin's chocolate-streaked stomach with one long finger, watching the muscle contract under skin in response. "You missed a spot."

Inside Merlin's chest, his heart beats double-time.

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy marguerite_26 April 22 2012, 03:41:24 UTC

"Christ," he breathes, hissing his way through the s. Arthur radiates heat, his skin still sun-warmed.

Merlin steps back, remembering Arthur's about-face before he's completely lost.

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy alby_mangroves April 22 2012, 03:54:45 UTC

Arthur watches him, predatory, then raises his finger to his lips.

"I'll help you clean up," he offers, then sucks his finger into his mouth, and Merlin's stomach drops like a roller coaster.

"There are laws against sexual harassment in the workplace, you know," he chokes out weakly.

Re: Arthur the surfer/Merlin ice-cream guy marguerite_26 April 22 2012, 04:02:53 UTC

Arthur doesn't laugh. "About before..." His confidence is gone now, washed away with the slump of his shoulders. "I'm not out. I don't ever flirt with guys like that. In public. God, if my father...
