"Merlin, I need to explain myself." Arthur begged.
"No, Arthur."
"Please, I really do like you." Arthur reached for Merlin's face, only to be pushed away.
"Were you leading me on? Why did you not tell me your real name?"
"No, I wasn't. I was going to, but you interrupted me. I was really into and I just wanted to spend more time with you."
"You weren't leading me on?" Merlin finally made eye contact.
"No, God no." Arthur cupped Merlin's cheek. Merlin leaned into the touch.
"Let's have dinner together." Merlin suggested.
"I'd love that, tonight let's have dinner tonight." The two men lean into each other for a kiss.
"Umm... guys?" The all too familiar Mordred interrupted.
"What now, Mordred?" Merlin snapped.
"Nevermind," Mordred turned around and practically ran away.
"I see he got the job." Arthur smirked.
"I kinda wish he hadn't." Merlin confessed.
Later that night, both Merlin and Arthur had an amazing dinner. Morgana, the female equivalent of Mordred ruined the end of their date. But Arthur made sure he made up for it when they reached his apartment.
Merlin was more than pleased.
