Masterlist 86. The Whole Nine Yards
Merlin decides she really likes Arthur’s bed. It’s soft and comfortable and smells like him. Not to mention that its owner is on it.
Yes, that’s definitely why she likes his bed so much. Because being on Arthur’s bed, necessarily meant Arthur on said bed along with her, kissing the holy breath out of her.
“I should really, really go.” Merlin pants against his cheek when Arthur finally releases her mouth so he can kiss his way up her jaw.
“You should really, really stay.” He responds softly, breath ghosting over her ear, making Merlin shiver.
“It’s against the rules. Us, by ourselves, in your room.” She says without any conviction. The way he’s nibbling on her earlobe makes thinking really hard.
“You didn’t move in yet.” Arthur says, abandoning her ear and capturing her lips once again. “The rules aren’t applicable.”
Merlin chuckles against his mouth, pushing Arthur away and wriggling from underneath him.
“I don’t think your father cares about the semantic of things.”
She almost on her feet when Arthur pulls her back, this time on top of him, kissing her once again. It’s a very effective distraction.
“Arthur…” She says warningly, when she feels his hands under her shirt. “Behave.”
The blonde smirks. “Trust me. I am behaving.”
After another 10 minutes or so, Merlin pulls back again, straddling him and looks at Arthur.
“Honestly, I really have to go. I’m meeting Gwen at the mall.”
“You hate the mall…” Arthur says, leaning closer to reach her neck. “You like being here with me.”
“Yes, but…” Merlin sighs in pleasure, eyes fluttering shut as he mouths her throat. “Valentine’s Day is coming and so is your birthday… I need to buy your presents.”
“You don’t have to buy me anything.” And it’s the first time Arthur actually stops his actions to look at Merlin.
“Sure I do.” She smiles at him. “Whole nine yards remember?”
“Do you want it?” He asks serious. “Do you want the whole Valentine’s Day thing? Romantic setting, dinner, presents… do you want all that?”
“I know you want it.” Merlin replies with a smirk. “Because apparently, under the whole tough soccer player exterior, there’s a soft, mush thirteen years girl like interior who loves these kinds of things…” Arthur glares half-heartedly and she laughs. “Yes, I do want it too, Arthur.”
They smile at each other, before meeting halfway for another kiss. This time sweet and slow, different from their previous ones.
Someone clears its throat from some point behind them and they break a part to look at Andrew’s disapproving expression.
“Hmm… hi Andrew.” Merlin greets, feeling her cheeks burning hot as she climbs out of the bed.
“Merlin.” He says shortly in acknowledgement, but his eyes don’t leave Arthur, who is huffing in annoyance and staring at the ceiling.
“Well… I should get going. Call you later, Arthur.” Arthur nods, but doesn’t say anything.
Merlin looks from one to the other, before slipping out of the room quietly. She got a feeling father and son are about to fight.
