Summary
They are in Arthur’s rooms, safely tucked away from the rest of the castle, when Merlin casually leans forward in the low burn of the fire and lights a candle with a flick of his hand – an action that would have damned him days ago and that still sends a strike of fear and apprehension through Arthur’s stomach. There is the fear and the magic, and the fear of the magic, and then there is the way Merlin’s jaw looks in the firelight.
It has been days since Arthur discovered Merlin’s magic – days since he first felt the brush against his skin. He is unsure, suddenly, which part of Merlin is which – what is the magic and what is the man (for Merlin has surely become a man). Just what, Arthur wonders, will he risk to find out?
