He thinks he's said this before, but he has never been so glad that Holly has had to work today.

"What do you think of this place?" Merlin asks looking over a page quickly again before he flips it around so Arthur can get a look at it.

Arthur looks up from the book he was reading this morning and looks at the page Merlin shoved in his face. They're both on the couch, Merlin laying down and his legs across Arthur's lap.

He takes the page from Merlin and scans over the details and price of the place and smiles. "I like it a lot actually. Where is it?" He asks handing the page back to the Warlock relaxing across him.

Merlin grins and eyes the page again. "It's out in the country, far away from people and there's a bunch of woods surrounding it so that'll make it easier for all of us I think." He says and sits up smiling up at Arthur.

His Arthur.

No one else's.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Arthur asks after a few minutes but smiles back anyway which just causes Merlin to smile even bigger.

Merlin brings his hand up and places it on the kings cheek and leans in kissing his nose before slowly pulling back. "Because you're mine and only mine." He says and then goes back to flipping through the magazine that has all the houses for sale.

Merlin can see Arthur freeze and then redness takes over and he smiles sheepishly which just makes Merlin laugh. "Stop laughing at me." He says and Merlin shakes his head, continuing to laugh.

His laughter gets cut short by a pair of lips and he chuckles against them and kisses back. Arthur then puts his arms under Merlin's legs that are on him and pulls him closer- not breaking the kiss at any point. Merlin's wraps his arms around Arthur's neck and Arthur's right hand goes around Merlin's torso and the other grips Merlin's pants that are on his thigh. Merlin stops chuckling and just smiles as Arthur kisses him, glad that he's got him back.

He slowly pulls back but not far, just so that he can speak. His eyes meet Arthur's blue ones, he can see so many different emotions his eyes. Love. Passion. Trust. Desire. And if he's correct, that haze that's slowly made its way over Arthur's features is a little bit of lust. "I love you Arthur Pendragon."

Arthur's smile grows and he grabs the back of Merlin's head and puts his lips back onto the Warlocks who responds just as needy. He runs is hands through the kings hair pulling his face closer and Arthur pushes himself closer to his body. The book and house completely forgotten about.

Arthur barley pulls back, his lips still touching Merlin's. "And I you Merlin." Before his lips are back onto Merlin's who feels his whole body heat up and he knows it's not just from Arthur's words. His hands start to wander and they end up at the bottom of the kings shirt and he tugs it, telling Arthur he wants it off, and off now.

Arthur grabs Merlin by the hips and lifts him up, moving him onto is lap so he's straddling him, both legs on either side of Arthur and Merlin can tell you he likes this position much more than the other one. Arthur's shirt doesn't get off fast enough according to Merlin because in a blink, the shirt is gone and Merlin's hands have replaced it.

Arthur makes an approving sound that sends Merlin's blood pumping and not all of it is going to his heart if you get his drift. His thoughts get tugged out when he feels his shirt being tugged on and he grins before pulling back and helping Arthur take his shirt off and his mouth is back on the blondes as his shirt gets thrown somewhere in the room, not that he cares at the moment.  (I'm typing this all while babysitting...)
