bitchprinceYesterday had not been a good day.
Arthur had been trying to repress all of it, which in layman's terms meant he'd taken it out on the knights. Much longer than usual. (Look, he really, really wished his father all the happiness in the world, so he had to cast aside his negative feelings about the whole thing as well as he could. Which meant violence.)
Which meant that by nightfall, he was exhausted. Right now, in fact, he was curled up in his bed, his head facing the window and his fingers tangled in his blanket. He was sleeping fitfully. It was a bit of a blessing.

Date: 2010-09-08 11:31 pm (UTC)Merlin had been busy researching with Gaius to find a way to expose Lady Catrina for what she was before this went any further. So far, the revealing spells hadn't been a match for whatever she had disguising her.
But he managed to sneak away once Gaius fell asleep on one of his books. Which gave him the time to slip into bed with Arthur and relax just a tiny bit.

Date: 2010-09-09 12:20 am (UTC)Arthur's muscles hadn't relaxed fully, even at rest.

Date: 2010-09-09 12:34 am (UTC)And leave Merlin to his doodling odd patterns on your back. It was soothing.
no subject
Date: 2010-09-09 12:38 am (UTC)He relaxed a little further, hand falling off of Merlin's leg as he let himself slip back into a doze.

Date: 2010-09-09 12:40 am (UTC)And that gave Merlin the time to let a little glow follow where his fingers trailed over Arthur's skin. Nothing permanent, of course. Just for the next few minutes.

Date: 2010-09-09 12:44 am (UTC)So he sighed, again, and didn't actually move, because it was comfortable and comfortable was nice.

Date: 2010-09-09 12:49 am (UTC)Arthur wasn't awake enough to yell yet!
no subject
Date: 2010-09-09 12:51 am (UTC)Though awake enough to shiver a little. "'s cold," he complained, lightly.

Date: 2010-09-09 04:58 am (UTC)Good things.
He stuck to the kissing for a little while.

Date: 2010-09-09 04:59 am (UTC)"Already wore off," Merlin mumbled, pulling him closer to lay back on the bed again.
