Summary: Merlin goes to Gwaine after the episode of 4.07. Sort of angsty. Written very quickly and unbetad. These boys, they do thing to me <3

Merlin closes the door the behind him, leaving Arthur to make his amends with Gaius. The image of Alator bowing to him - pledging his allegiance - swirls through his mind, It’s heady and terrifying, like the first time he commanded the Dragon, and he wonders if Arthur fees like this about his knights.

He knocks on Gwaine’s door, heart pounding in his chest. Gwaine opens his door, weary looking, although he smiles readily enough when he realises who’s disturbing him at this early hour.

“Hi.”

“Merlin, come in.” Gwaine grasps Merlin’s wrist and the warm shock of it travels down his spine. It’s been a while. Merlin regrets that, regrets that he let things get in the way. He goes easily when Gwaine tugs him into the room.

“I wanted to thank you. For helping Gaius,”

“I was helping you, too.” Gwaine replies easily. “I’m sorry I left you.”

“Don’t. I told you to.” Merlin walks over to the window, needing to move, to expel some energy. He came here to - well - but now he’s here he’s fumbling worse than when he and Will first rolled in the hay.

“Doesn’t mean I did it willingly.” Gwaine follows him and places a hand hesitantly on his shoulder. Merlin turns and pulls Gwaine into a kiss - or tries to, he gets a mouthful of stubble.

“Sorry, sorry.”

“Easy, s’ok.” Gwaine says softly, “here.” The hand travels from Merlin’s shoulder up to his neck. They try again. Merlin still pushes too hard, catching teeth, but there’s proper contact and Gwaine’s tongue curls around his, slow and drugging.

And later when they’ve parted, panting and flushed, Merlin will draw invisible patterns on Gwaine’s skin, hoping Gwaine can read the meaning there. Gwaine will bundle Merlin up in his arms and Merlin knows he has.
