Summary
Merlin was bored. This was the fifth shop they’d been in. He and Arthur hadn’t bothered trying anything on, having surrendered to being dragged around by the girls. Both of them insisting Merlin specifically need to come with them because they needed the opinion of a gay man.
They were sitting in chairs opposite each other by the changing rooms. Goodness knows how long they were going to have to wait. Merlin bit his lip and grinned as he thought of an idea.
Or, a hot summer sees Merlin and Arthur dragged out to an air conditioned mall with Morgana and Gwen. Risky hijinks ensue.

Summary
“Will you help me?” Arthur asked as he stroked the arch of Merlin’s foot.
Merlin looked over at him and frowned. “With what?”
“Coming out.”
Merlin sat up straighter. “I thought you didn’t want to.”
“I just… I’m worried about them judging me, after the way I used to be. And I just… I don’t want it to be a big deal. I just— I wish it could be over with already. I wish it could be simpler.”
“Why can’t it?” Merlin asked. He licked his lips distractingly, Arthur’s eyes tracing every movement before he continued. “I can’t help but think that you’ve built this up in your head, over and over again until it’s become this big, huge thing. But it doesn’t have to be. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. You don’t need to do a big announcement. We could just… be together?”
