Merlin and Arthur stumbled into the tent, Arthur's arm over Merlin's shoulders, wounded from battle. Merlin sat Arthur down on a chair and started gently taking off his armor. Arthur winced as he did so. Merlin's eyes scoured Arthur's fit body and his cheeks flushed red. His hair was flewn about and it fell so perfectly in his face. He's so adorable, yet sexy. Why does he have to be so hot? My job is hard enough as it is.
"You were very brave out there sire." Merlin said, breaking the silence.
"Well the battles not finished yet Merlin, hurry up." Merlin nodded knowingly at his comment. An arrow had scraped Arthur's side, breaking the skin kinda badly and drawing a bit of blood. Merlin moved to grab a bowl of warm water and a soft cloth to dab the Prince's wound. He slowly lifted up Arthur's shirt, revealing glistening abs. Oh my god.
"abs.." He accidentally muttered, dropping the soft cloth.
"Merlin? What are you doing? Did you just say abs?" His face showed complete confusion at Merlin's actions.
Merlin scrambled for an answer and his cheeks stung in embarrassment."N-no sire, I was just clearing my throat." Ah! why did I say that He totally doesn't believe me! Stupid Merlin, stupid! Arthur rolled his eyes and gave a slight smile, knowing what Merlin felt.
"Hurry up Merlin I don't have all day for you to drool over my body." With this, Merlin looked up and met Arthur's eyes with a shocked expression.
"I was not-" Merlin started, only to have Arthur cut him off by wrapping his bicep around his neck and pulling him close, and rubbing his knuckles across his head.
"Ow, ok ok!" Merlin pleaded. Arthur let him go and their eyes met again, both had big smiles on their face and the tension was almost too much. Merlin grabbed a different cloth and began dabbing Arthur's wound. As he was dressing him up again to go back into battle, Arthur chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Merlin prodded, thinking he may have done something embarassing like put the wrong piece of armor on, but Arthur just smiled and replied, "Oh nothing", grabbed his sword and shield and strode out of the tent.
Thanks for reading! It really means a lot to me. If you have any suggestions for further chapters I will gladly take them.
