“Love makes you do strange things”

dbahh:

Arthur’s reaction when Merlin won’t stop talking

— Shut up,

Merlin.

Still Arthur when Merlin does shut up …

—Come on. I’m missing your usual prattle.

— Something’s been upsetting you, hasn’t it?

— Merlin! Are you missing Gaius?

— Are you feeling all right, Merlin? I haven’t seen you smile these past three days.
