Merlin won't sleep in Arthur's room. He refuses what Arthur calls a manservant's customary place, mentions his uncle Gaius, thinks about his spellbook, and stares at broad shoulders, a golden chest, and limbs like young trees. Arthur respects family, wonders what thought lights Merlin's expressive eyes, and stares at raven-black hair, pale skin, and a slender throat. Arthur doesn't press.
This time.
