Summary
“Something... has been bothering me,” Arthur admits slowly, reaching for his goblet of wine and taking a steeling sip. Merlin’s brow creases and his hand tightens slightly over Arthur’s as he tries to analyse his expression.
“When he... in his chambers. Why didn’t you...” Arthur hadn’t had such problems articulating himself since the night of the incident, almost like talking about it was regressing him back to the very moment. Before he can try again, he has a second where he thinks he’s back in Lord Gelese’s room, catching him all over again.
“Arthur. I know you’re an emotionally constipated prat on a good day, but use your words, please.” Merlin’s voice pulls him out of the memory, and Arthur shakes his head slightly in an effort to dislodge the image. Merlin is alive and in front of him. He has been laughing and sassing and gossiping and casting, life bursting from his every movement, all evening. Arthur needs to get a grip.
TW in notes. This is technically a sequel from Arthur's POV but i think it could probably stand alone.
