Arthur
He said Howdy. Howdy. There was no way on this earth I could ever stop laughing. I tried catching my breath, but as soon as I looked at him, I started laughing again. "Merl - in, not a single fucking person on this earth actually says Howdy. No one", I pronounced nearly breathless.
Merlin shakily stood up, and tried to remove the mud from his face and clothes. "W-what, people always say that in western movies, I thought -"
He stopped talking, as I had stepped closer lifting his chin, holding his face in one hand, and removing the dirt on his cheeks with the other one."
We were staring directly into each others eyes, and I could clearly see that he was uncomfortable, as the blue in his eyes twisted nervously.
But hey, what was life without a little fun. I stepped even closer, pretending to remove mud from his hair, even tho it was perfectly clean already.
To be honest, I just wanted to feel if it was as soft as I imagined. And it definitely was.
I was so mesmerized by him, that I hadn't even noticed that basically our whole bodies were touching.
Instantly, I stepped one step back and coughed. "You're late. We need to get to work, you lazy-ass. C'mon, there's a lot do do." It sounded even colder out loud than it had in my head.
I turned my back on him as fast as possible, to hide my heavy breathing, and climbed into the tractor.
Fuck. I enjoyed being close to Merlin, way too much. And I didn't even know him yet.
