Timeless

"Show me a trick."

Recap:

Arthur then sits in front of him on the bed. "So if I were to kiss you, you wouldn't mind?"

And that's when Merlin feels his whole world come to a stop.

"What." He breathes out and Arthur sits patiently waiting for an answer from Merlin who has seemed to have lost his ability to speak- and of all god awful times that could happen as well.

"Could I kiss you?"

Wow, way to be blunt about it Arthur.

Merlin clears his throat and blinks before slowly nodding his head.

-------------------------->

"Are you sure?" Arthur says but doesn't seem to concerned that Merlin will turn him away.

"I'm sure." Merlin whispers either to himself or Arthur he doesn't really know or seem to care at the moment.

Arthur then slowly closes the distance between them and stops short at the last possible moment and Merlin starts panicking that he's changed his mind and is about to start freaking out but that all stops when he feels Arthur's chapped lips on his.

Actually everything stops.

Time, the world, his breathing, Arthur, just everything.

He realizes he hasn't made any move to kiss back and he closes his eyes and kisses him back gently, just like Arthur is doing.

He's dreamed of this moment for so so long, he never ever thought it could ever happen in a million years.

But here he is. Kissing King Arthur of Camelot on his bed and um only in a towel.

He forgot about the towel thing.

Seems like so did Arthur.

Arthur slowly moves closer to Merlin and slowly and very hesitantly adds tongue into the kiss and Merlin swallows a soft moan that tries to escape.

If he let it out, Arthur would never let him live it down. And that's a long time to be teased about it.

Merlin slowly places his right hand on the kings right cheek and then puts the other one on his other cheek.

Arthur's hands seem like they don't know what to do or where to go so they gently sit on Merlin's legs. Once in a while squeezing.

Merlin pulls back a little and slowly opens his eyes to see Arthur's are still gently closed.

They slowly open to a bright blue and Merlin starts panicking again at how Arthur will react.

It was his idea to begin with anyway. But still this is Arthur he's talking about. He's very unpredictable as he can clearly see.

"I uh." Is all Arthur seems to be able to say and he doesn't make any move to pull away or to take Merlin's hands off his face.

"Yeah?" Is all Merlin says and Arthur's gaze flicks down then back up to Merlin's eyes and he slowly gives a small smile, cheeks pink.
