what's a little sacrifice between lovers

Summary:

Merlin's the only person that knows Arthurs favourite flower is Lavender.

Notes:

Day Two: Lavender

I weirdly struggled with this one so yes it's being uploaded late 😬 I did write 98% of it yesterday though!!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

It’s supposed to help you sleep, they say. It’s such a wonderful scent to have in the home. It tastes lovely.

Lies.

Merlin hates lavender, but unfortunately he knows without a doubt that Arthur secretly loves the stuff. So here he is, in what should surely count as a whole field of it, nose stuffed and eyes itching from the strong attack on his senses, picking the flowers into a nice, decently sized and yet modest bouquet with enough extra for Gaius to keep stored.

Why am I even doing this?

The question makes him pause in his gathering and flush. A small smile reaches his face.

How silly that the first thing he does after they both realise their feelings is to get him a bouquet of his favourite flower.

Notes:

Next Up: Rain on Pavement & Coraline
