Merlin One-Shots

All: First Kiss

Arthur: Your first kiss with Arthur was short and sweet, filled with emotion, and very public. He had just returned from a quest with some of the knights and you could see that something was wrong as they rode up. He was slumped in the saddle and kept his head down. As soon as he saw you, a smile spread across his face. You ran down to him and helped him down before he wrapped his arms around his waist and his lips were on yours.

Merlin: You had always expected your first kiss with Merlin to be shy and sweet. It was the exact opposite. You were busy yelling at each other about nothing in particular when his fingers tangled into the hair at the back of your head and he slammed his lips against yours. The next thing you knew, your back was against the wall and his tongue was brushing along your lower lip.

Gwaine: Gwaine had plenty of experience in every department, but he knew that you were nervous about taking things further with him. So he took his time. When sitting next to each other his hand would slide towards yours until your little fingers were wrapped together. If you were walking through a crowd in the lower town, his hand would be on your lower back, guiding you forward yet keeping you close for protection. After a long night at the tavern with the other knights, he pulled you to the side and ran his fingers through the hair to the side of you face before asking if he could kiss you.

Percival: With Percival you always hand to stand on your toes. He was so much taller than you that it was hard to take the lead with anything. One night after he walked you home, you reached up on your toes to kiss his cheek. His head turned at just the right moment that your lips caught together instead.

Leon: Always the perfect gentleman, Leon did everything he could to make you happy. Whether it meant shirking his duties to pick flowers with you, or walking you home late at night because your home was just too far away to go alone. So when it came to your first kiss, he was no different. He had just walked you home after you finished working and before saying goodnight, he leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to your lips.

Elyan: Elyan was very nervous to kiss you after any outing with you. He was sure that he would ruin things, causing you to run to his sister and him getting in trouble with her. After seeing him for the fourth time in one week, you had decided that it was enough.
"Would you please stop your worrying and just kiss me already?" You asked, wrapping a hand around the back of his neck and pulling him down to you.

Lancelot: Lancelot was always sure of himself around you. Acting as though he could read your very thoughts. After yet another perfectly planned outing, you decided to surprise him by kissing him first. But even that he predicted, leaning forward to meet you halfway before smiling against your lips.

Mordred: You and Mordred had known each other since you were children so you were always drawn to each other. One night, you were both sitting outside of your tent talking, neither of you realizing how close you had gotten to each other. Nearly half an hour later you noticed his breath against you lips and leaned forward the rest of the way.
