OMG I love this! Merlin is so cute, I want to squish him! Can't wait to see where it goes...XD

I take it it's set in America though, considering Arthur's driving and the drinking age is mentioned as 21? I was a bit confused at first XDD

Thank you!!

And yes, this is set in America, LA specifically, since it's what I know. I'm constantly looking to improve my British English, as all my fandoms tend to be British, but I don't trust myself so...yup. Sorry for any confusion!

Hooray! Thank you!

I think I already said (prematurely) that I love you but this, I, I love you. It's too early to see where you're going with this and if you adhere strictly to my prompt or not, I still love this an obscene amount.

I love how Arthur is getting fascinated by how weird Merlin is but not really knowing he's already on that path.

There's something wrong (but so right) about this, it's almost verging on the 'ick he's so young!' and nothing has even happened yet. I don't know, there's something about the way you write that makes me feel shuddery with revulsion and yet I can't help but want more (so much more).

And oh, fair warning; I usually give very wordy and long comments on fics that I'm honestly invested with. So, heads up ♥

And ILU OP! For a long and wordy comment, I love those. Not that I'm much good at writing them but it makes me all warm and giddy every time I receive one. They will be much loved and cherished by moi =)

To tell you the truth, I wasn't planning on making Merlin so weird, but somehow it just turned out that way and Arthur's fascination just wrote itself. I've got a tentative ending written out, so at least I definitely plan on finishing, even if I don't know where exactly the story is going to head XD.

Pretty sure I've told you this before, but this is so fun!! <3 the prompt.
