Arthur's a/an ...
Summary: Sequel to "Arthur's a Stupid Man". Series of one-shot. This would be more Arthur centric point of view but I can mix it with some others. I have the chapters outline but request are welcome and I will try to incorporate them. Ranges from fluff to explicit.
Author's Note: Inspiration comes! To all "When Merlin Became His Bride" readers don't worry, I promise to have the next chapter out before or on Monday! I just have many work loads this week and can't concentrate on the fic. Now this one is shorter, so this is kind of my apology to you guys. Enjoy!
Chapter One: ...Patient Man
Where Merlin still dreams or compares Arthur to his dead boyfriend and Arthur waits till Merlin is fully his.
It was during the middle of the night or when Merlin was distracted that he comes out.
"Will...*sobs...Will...I miss you."
Arthur should really be foaming in the mouth from anger but he was taught long ago to choose his battles wisely. He had always stuck to that principle since becoming a lawyer and it was really no different from how he handles his own personal life.
"Will used to do that, much better..."
In his heart, he already knows that Merlin is his, mind, body and soul. He just, kind of, shares with a ghost a small portion of his heart.
"Will used to drag me out of the office to have a picnic to keep me from going insane. It was fun and spontaneous."
He also knows that he can never really compete with something that is not even there. Besides, he was here and that man was not; even if that sounds really mean, it is only the truth. And Arthur is the defender of the truth (because Merlin will nag at him if he tries to defend some scum and possibly banned him from bed). Of course, he still does white lies, even to himself and especially to Merlin.
"Arthur? I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to say his name *sobbing sounds* I just ... I just..."
"It's okay Merlin. Shhh...don't cry love. I understand."
"I'm sorry...*cries* I'm really sorry."
"I know love. I understand. Shh...please stop crying. I hate seeing you cry."
And even if his heart twist into a knot at Merlin gently caressing his picture whenever Merlin thinks he is not looking, he will still pretend that everything is okay and waits for Merlin to come to his embrace. Because Merlin will always come back to him in the end.
"Ugh.."
"Ah, I'm sorry for waking you up Arthur."
"You didn't wake me up. I couldn't sleep without you."
" *chuckles* I didn't know that you couldn't sleep without me."
"You don't know a lot about me. I'm like an onion. You have to peel me to get to the inside."
"Arthur, that sounds like a come on."
"My, such a dirty mind you have."
"Well, if you don't want to peel me, I guess I'll g – ahh!"
"Shut up and strip."
" *giggles*"
"Now Merlin!"
"Yes Arthur."
In the end, it doesn't matter.
"Ahh...Arthur!"
"Yes? What do you need Merlin. You have to tell me."
"You! All I need is you! Push harder!"
"Your wish is my command."
"ARTHUR!"
Because in the end, Arthur is patient enough to wait until Merlin calls only his name. And that day will come soon enough.
TBC...
