Merlin and his boyfriend are finally answering some questions from Merlin's viewers
Yes, there will be mistakes, grammar or others, Sorry for that :)
Also I do not own Merlin or any of the characters there, this amazing piece of art belongs to BBC ;)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok... ready?" Merlin asked while adjusting the camera and looked at Arthur who was sitting on the couch.
"Hold on" Arthur said while adjusting his hair, which he was doing for like the last five minutes.
"You look good you prat, chill" he calmed his boyfriend down
"I am aware of that, thank you, Merlin" Arthur smirked and Merlin rolled his eyes
"So humble" he muttered and Arthur chuckled
"Anyway... are you done or what?" Merlin asked about Arthur's hair state ready to turn on the camera
Arthur used his phone as a mirror for the last check up and nodded. Merlin was temped to ruffle his boyfriends hair just to mess it up a little bit, but he really wanted to make this video, so he chose not to do it.
He pressed one of the buttons and the red light came on. Then he went to sit down on the couch next to Arthur.
"Hi guys so..." He started with his usual intro as in any other video, with a smile and a little wave to the camera
"...I am back with another video aaand as you can see I am not here alone today..." he said and pointed at Arthur who made little salute gesture to the camera as a greeting.
"I am here with my boyfriend. Yes as some of you may know I am not single anymore, and you wanted me to tell you something about him, but I thought that maybe he would be willing to join me in the video instead and answer some of your questions with me" Merlin continued and pulled out his phone where he had the questions for this video.
"So first..." he wanted to read the first question
"Hi by the way I am Arthur, Merlin's loving boyfriend I am sure he was going to introduce me before we start with the answering" Arthur said with a little chuckle. Merlin looked up from his phone with a slightly pink cheeks
"Ehm... yeah I was, of course I was... this is Arthur" he nodded and Arthur laughed and lean to kiss Merlin on the cheek, which caused Merlin to blush even more. Merlin realized that he probably should get used to being kissed on the camera from now on.
"So first?" Arthur asked and looked at the phone in Merlin's hand wanting to know what Merlin's viewers are curious about
"How did we meet? What does your new boyfriend do? These are two different questions, but it's actually connected so..." Merlin started and Arthur was just watching him for now
"It's connected because we actually met at Arthur's work. He works as a photographer for a magazine that asked me if I would do an interview with them and I said yes. It was a disaster by the way... I was so nervous the whole time and..."
"It was not a disaster babe, you did good" Arthur interrupted him
"Ok, maybe the interview itself wasn't such a disaster... I managed to answer the questions from Gwen... very sweet and friendly girl that was doing the interview with me but then Arthur walked in to take the pictures for them to use in the article and this part was a disaster and don't say it wasn't Arthur..."
"I will say that you were nervous and that it's totally normal" Arthur said and smiled at his boyfriend who smiled back at him
"Aaanyway... I was so nervous that were not able to make any good pictures... for them to use I mean. So Arthur suggested that it might be better for me if I was somewhere where I feel comfortable like at home for example, so he said that we could come here and do the pictures in here if it's ok with me. I thought that it might be at least good to try that because they were all really nice to me the whole time so... well... anyway Arthur took his camera, and we drove in to my place and tried it again. It was better, definitely better. Arthur got the pictures for the magazine and then I felt like I would be a total jerk just to kick him out after that, because he literally didn't have to do that for me, right? So I invited him for a lunch to the local pub as a thank you for that.... and we stayed in touch after that" Merlin finished the story and looked at Arthur who just nodded to confirm that this is really how things had happened
"Yes, I really thought that it would be a shame to at least not to try to hang out with you from time to time because during the lunch you probably were less nervous when we were done with the pictures and I find out that you are really funny... even though your sense of humor is something one has to get used to... he maybe doesn't look like it, but his jokes can get pretty dark, which you probably know from his videos actually." Arthur said and Merlin shyly smiled
"Does he watch your videos?" Merlin read another question and looked at Arthur.
"I do. After the lunch I wanted to know more about him, so I watched some of his videos and pretty much became his number one fan girl" Arthur answered and Merlin laughed
"Really?" he asked
"You bet" Arthur nodded and Merlin chuckled again
"How long are we dating?"
"Ehm... we met... like 10 months ago... so... I wound say 7 months?" Arthur was trying to do the math and looked at Merlin who thought for a second and then nodded
"Yeah... yes 7 months is about right I think..." he agreed
"Who asked who out?"
"Arthur asked me out, because I was too shy to even try it even although I really liked him a lot, but you guys know me so... no way I would be able to just ask him on a date" Merlin said to the camera
"That's true I did ask you on a date... wanna tell them something about that event honey?" Arthur gestured to the camera/viewers while looking at Merlin as if Merlin should know exactly what is Arthur referring to. Merlin knew and his cheeks turn to light shade of pink again.
"Ehm... I didn't... know that it's a date the whole time until he kissed me and asked me if I enjoyed the date" Merlin admitted
"He literally screamed at me "We were on a date? Why didn't you tell me that? Look what I am wearing!" " Arthur said and little bit laughed at that memory and Merlin quietly chuckled as well, but his cheeks were little bit more pink while reliving that moment
"He looked great by the way" Arthur added more seriously but still with a smile on his face.
"If I knew it was a date I would look even better" Merlin mumbled and Arthur just rolled him eyes and kissed his stubborn boyfriend on a cheek. Merlin was looking at the questions and laughed at one of them
"Hm?" Arthur asked
"We're getting to the big questions now...if we got married someday, where would you take me for the honeymoon?" Merlin read out loud amused and Arthur chuckled
"I would take you to the bed... obviously" Arthur replied seriously... almost and Merlin laughed
"I think they meant what place you prat" Merlin said still amused
"Any place you would want... as long as it has a bed" Arthur replied and made Merlin laugh again which made Arthur smile proudly because he loves making Merlin laugh and smile.
"Ok... so obviously we gonna have our honeymoon in IKEA" Merlin said and this time it was Arthur who had to laugh, because he totally did not expect this sentence. Merlin was happy that he managed to make Arthur laugh as well.
"Did you ever hide something from me?" Merlin continued and looked at Arthur. Arthur became very serious, looked Merlin in his eyes and nodded.
"W-what did you hide?" Merlin asked shocked. Arthur still kept his serious expression and took a deep breath. Merlin was becoming kinda nervous about what is Arthur going to say.
"There is a secret stash of candy in my kitchen" Arthur said and was trying not to laugh.
"No there is not... I would know... what? Where?" Merlin was trying to process it. Arthur finally gave up and laughed
"Alright... I guess it's about time you know about it actually" he said and leaned to Merlin and whispered in his ear where the secret stash is
"Really? Wow... good hiding" Merlin admitted and Arthur smiled at him
"Thanks... so next question?"
Merlin looked at his phone
"If you were stuck on a deserted island with me for a day, what would you do? Let's not answer th..." he wanted to skip that one because he knew what Arthur will say
"You" Arthur indeed said what Merlin knew he will so Merlin just chuckled and continued to look for another question
"Alright... We could end the video with if he's older or younger than me question" Merlin decided that it might be enough of the questions.
"I am 4 years older" Arthur answered it and Merlin nodded
"So, as always, press the like button if you did like this video, press the subscribe button if you didn't like it and leave some lovely comment for me to read" Merlin did his usual outro that made Arthur smile while he was watching his boyfriend.
"Do you want to say something Arthur?" Merlin gave his boyfriend a space to say something
"Hope you liked the video I guess?" Arthur looked at the camera
"I am sure that they did, don't worry" Merlin assured him and waved at the camera for the last time, then got up from the couch and went to turn off the camera.
"Thank you for doing it with me Arthur" he said when he got back on the couch
"It was fun actually" Arthur said and pulled Merlin closer, so he can cuddle him
"Glad to hear that cos maybe people would want to see more of you after this" Merlin said with a smile
"We'll see... maybe they will think I am not good for you and will demand break up" Arthur joked and Merlin chuckled
"No chance now that I know about the hidden candies in the kitchen you will not get rid of me that easily" Merlin disagreed and cuddled closet to Arthur who laughed a bit
"Well... if you want the free access to my candy stash you could... just move in... permanently I mean" Arthur started carefully not knowing if it would be a good idea in Merlin's opinion.
Merlin chuckled but then went serious when he realized what Arthur said. He sat up so he could look at him.
"Do you mean it? I mean... would you want me here... all the time?" Merlin asked uncertainly
"Yeah. You are there pretty much all the time anyway. And I kinda miss you when you're not so..." Arthur nodded
It was true, Merlin really felt in Arthur's house more home than in his own apartment. He realized that he was coming back to his apartment only because there is his "usual" background so the viewers will not notice any chance in Merlin's life yet, but now that they actually know that Arthur exists it would not matter where he would make his videos so...
"Yes. I would love to torment you 24/7 and not just some days of the week Arthur" Merlin smiled at Arthur who laughed at Merlin choice of words and kissed him.
"You know that there are two guest bedrooms right?" Arthur started after they ended the kiss
"I kinda hoped that you'll let me stay in your bedroom..." Merlin said with a puppy look and Arthur chuckled and quickly kissed him because he was adorable.
"You will stay in my bedroom Merlin, don't doubt that for a second" he assured him
"Good... so what's with the guest's rooms then?" Merlin wondered
"That if you want we can make one of them your recording room and your office... you know you can have a camera and all the things there so you don't have to waste your time with getting it ready when you would want to make a video but have it ready all the time cos it will not be in the way of anything in there" Arthur explained and Merlin was looking at him with a small surprise and a big smile on his face
"You would be ok with me occupy the whole room because of my youtube channel?" Merlin asked still surprised
"It is what you do and what you enjoy doing babe. I have my office, so I can fully focus on my work so it's only fear for you to have the same thing" Arthur nodded with a smile. Merlin moved closer and hugged him
"You're amazing Arthur, thanks" he mumbled in the hug.
"I told you I am your number one fan girl Merls" Arthur smiled and Merlin laughed.
