Merlin (TV)
by TheCourtSorcerer
Arthur stared shamelessly as Merlin climbed up the wooden ladder to reach the roof of his mother’s house, and did…whatever he was doing up there. It wasn’t like anyone was around to see, anyhow. He didn’t know how long he’d spent standing there, ogling his manservant, before that voice he dreamt so often of reached his ears. “Arthur??”“Huh? What?” The prince blinked a few times, snapping out of his daze. He heard Merlin chuckle from his high placement.“I said, does it look too bulky from down there?” The sorcerer repeated himself.Arthur really had no idea what he was supposed to be looking at, as he’d been rather distracted and knew nothing about roof mending. Yet, he still shook his head. “No, it looks fine!”ORMerlin takes a summer trip to Ealdor to visit his mother! Arthur tags along.Many things happen on this trip—Arthur finds out farming is actually hard, Hunith enjoys mothering the Prince, Arthur pines helplessly for Merlin, Merlin becomes a health hazard for Arthur (the man swears his heart is going to give out if he sees Merlin shirtless in a garden, weeding again), and Hunith genuinely thinks they’ve already gotten together.
