Summary: In one of the episodes of How I Met Your Mother the character create a list of 50 reasons to have sex. So I’ve written a fic for every reason. The fics are mostly slash and are from several different fandoms including (but not limited to) BBC Sherlock, Supernatural, Grimm, aMernd Glee. Most fics stand alone.
In this chapter Arthur finds out that Merlin shaves his legs and realizes that he likes it.
Masterpost “Merlin, you’ve been in there for an hour,” Arthur shouts as he bangs his fist against the bathroom door. His inconsiderate roommate had been in the bathroom 45 minutes ago when Arthur had gone for a run. When he’d returned tired and dripping with sweat he’d been craving a cool shower but Merlin was still in the bathroom. “Are you getting out of there today?”
He’s barely finished speaking before the bathroom door opens and a towel clad Merlin emerges.
“It’s all yours, you highness,” Merlin states with sarcasm.
“What took you so long?” Arthur asks. Technically it’s a rhetorical question but Merlin answers with a shrug anyway. That’s when Arthur notices the items in Merlin’s hand- a razor and a can of shaving cream. But Merlin doesn’t have any facial hair, what could he be shaving? Arthur’s eyes travel over Merlin’s body revealing the answer.
“Were you spending all this time shaving your legs?” Arthur laughs. “I knew you were girl but this…”
“Coach recommended it,” Merlin tries to defend himself. “It could shave a few seconds off my lap time which could be the difference between first and second place in a close race.”
Arthur just keeps smirking.
“Plus, the sex is better that way,” Merlin states. “It drives the boys… and girls crazy.”
“No way,” Arthur argues. “You’re full of it.”
“I can show you if you don’t believe me,” Merlin offers seductively. He takes hold of Arthur’s hand and trails it up his leg slowly from ankle to upper thigh. Merlin’s right. It does feel nice. So nice that it takes Arthur far too long to realize how close his hand has strayed to Merlin’s semi-hard cock which is being just barely hidden by a towel. It’s a split second decision for Arthur to reach out and stroke it.
‘Well,” Arthur thinks. ‘If I’m going test it, I might as well test it completely.’
AN: What do you think? This one was a pain to write but I think it came out better than I expected.
