Summary
“He’s cute, isn’t he?” he asked, showing him a picture of a dark haired guy, whose eyes were bright blue and who had the most wonderful cheekbones Arthur had ever seen.
“Just so you know, Leon, you’d better not call a guy cute. Handsome, extremely good-looking, as beautiful as a work of art… that’s something you could say.” he said, instead of giving him a proper answer.
“You’re talking about yourself, aren’t you?”
“Obviously.”
Leon tried not to smile, shaking his head.
“Anyway, he is cute.”
“He is.”
“So…?”
“So fuck it, he might be the only hot guy on this app. I’m definitely going to hit him up.”

Arthur and Merlin first met on Tinder. They ended up having sex on their first date, and several other times after that one. At some point, something changed. They stopped seeing each other and went back to their normal lives. Until, a month later, Morgana, Arthur’s sister, decided to introduce her boyfriend to her family: a dark-haired guy, who had bright blue eyes and the most wonderful cheekbones Arthur had ever seen. -

Summary
It's fine if he knows, though Merlin thought they narrowly avoided the topic yesterday. Barely. He also knows Arthur. He's too stubborn to let it go, but he is sincere. Only brought it up in gratitude. And assurance.
Merlin tries to estimate Arthur, though there's nothing to be found. They both know he also created the opportunity, the question. But Merlin can't confess and they both know that, also. And this time he finds he doesn't have to lie.
He fixes his eyes on Arthur. Finds his hand to hold. "I didn't do anything," he says.
Arthur stands very still. "You didn't?"
Arthur can't know. Him repeating the question means this is his last chance to devalue his convictions. And this time he can honestly answer him, "No." He didn't have to. But he will next time. And he’ll make his excuses then if Arthur isn’t satisfied still from this moment. He’ll find the strength for it in his heart and the love he harbors there to fix the world in place.

Summary
“God, Arthur, I really could have used you on that one,” Cobb said miserably, collapsing into the booth across from the point man. Arthur had started to let a sympathetic smile spread across his face before he froze, staring wide-eyed at Cobb.
There was something lingering on Cobb that had Arthur’s nostrils flaring. He nearly reached over to grab the man’s jacket and pull him forward to scent it more clearly. Arthur held back, but just barely. He let his fingers curl in on themselves instead, trying to ground himself, trying to center. He was breathing hard, each new lungful of air bringing a fraction of that scent with it, shooting to his hindbrain, pulling and screaming with vicious intensity.
Arthur’s gaze snapped to Cobb’s and the extractor’s eyes suddenly looked hunted. Arthur could feel himself slipping, something wild and intent taking his place, filling out his body to the tips of his fingers. He watched Cobb squirm with a sort of sickening hunger.
“Who,” Arthur asked, “did you do the job with?”
