Summary
Merlin buried his face in his hands. “Alright, fine, things were certainly . . . more than friendly. But I maintain that I did not sleep with either of them!”
Arthur’s world had tipped over. Merlin was the one that the visitors had wanted? It wasn’t a shock—Arthur found Merlin to be far prettier than either of them, after all—but to know that they had . . . dallied with his best friend made his skin crawl.

Summary
He had lit up again, breathless, the pale line of his neck dripping water down past where Arthur could follow. Merlin practically glowed when he smiled, he always had, and Arthur wished for nothing more than to be stuck in this moment forever even as the rain splashed around them, the howling wind filling his ears.

Summary
When will Merlin cease this nonsense? He has mastered the impossible: dragging Arthur feet first down the stairs of Camelot’s class structure until he’d tasted the dirt his poorest people slept on, while still managing to always put Arthur first. It is a contradiction, a contrast Arthur cannot rationalize. But damn it all, he wishes Merlin might try putting himself first for once. If not for Merlin’s own happiness, or their friendship which is the most precious thing Arthur has ever been trusted with, then for the hope-cum-desire that Merlin might one day return his romantic feelings not out of obligation but out of want.
Merlin serves. Serves looks, serves dungeon time, and serves Arthur.
