It was rare when Merlin woke up early on a weekend.

It was also rare when Ainsley didn’t wake up at 7 am on the dot.

Today must’ve been his lucky day, because even after making his cup of coffee and padding around the kitchen for an hour, Merlin realized that Ainsley still hadn’t woken up.

When he went to his phone to check the feed from the baby camera in Ainsley’s room, he saw that she was still asleep in her toddler bed, thumb in her mouth and the stuffed rabbit that Morgana had given her in her other arm.

Grinning, Merlin quickly and quietly made Arthur’s coffee, taking it down the hall to the master bedroom and carefully creeping in.

He smiled at the sight he saw. Arthur was sleeping on his back, his hair messy and blanket thrown off some to reveal his bare torso. God, Merlin loved this man.

Quiet still, Merlin went to Arthur’s side of the bed and set the cup down on the nightstand and moved until he was straddling Arthur. Only then did Merlin lean down, putting a hand on one side of Arthur’s head, and kiss his lips gently and lovingly.

It took a moment, but Arthur woke up as Merlin pulled away, opening his eyes and stretching as much as he could. He smiled sleepily when he saw Merlin. “Morning. I'm surprised you’re up,” Arthur commented as he rested a hand on Merlin’s hip.

Merlin smiled in response and shrugged. “Me too, honestly. But…guess who’s still asleep?” he asked, grinning as he unlocked his phone and showed Arthur the camera feed from Ainsley’s room.

Arthur looked at it, then his eyes went a little wide. “Is she—“

“She’s fine, don’t worry,” Merlin quickly assured him, then put his phone on his side of the bed and leaned down, both his hands on Arthur’s pecs. “Since she’s still asleep, I figured that, y’know, we can have a little fun,” Merlin teased, his face only inches from Arthur’s. Smirking, he then leaned away and sighed dramatically. “Unless you’d rather not…”

Merlin, you minx.” Arthur leaned up and put a hand on Merlin’s neck, pulling him close for a passionate kiss. As they kissed and let their tongues dance together, Arthur pulled Merlin down until he was on top of Arthur, breaking away from the kiss to bite and suck at Merlin’s neck.

Merlin groaned quietly as he ground his bulge with Arthur’s and gripped his shoulders. “Arthur…”

“Missed this, missed being this close to you,” Arthur spoke against Merlin’s neck as he bit and sucked at it. He moved up to look at Merlin after a long few moments and smirked. “Missed letting people know that you’re mine.”

All Merlin did in response was steal Arthur’s lips for another deep kiss, groaning again as Arthur not only ground against Merlin, but also grabbed his arse and squeezed it, kneading it through his pajama pants.

Merlin was the one this time to pull away from the deep kiss to bite and mark at Arthur’s neck. They hadn’t had the chance to be alone together in so long, it felt like ages. He’d been wanting Arthur for weeks and now he was going to get it…

“Daddy! Papa!” a child’s voice called from the hallway suddenly.

Ainsley.

Merlin couldn’t help the frustrated groan that escaped him as he moved his lips away from Arthur’s neck. “Damn,” he muttered. “Of all the times…”

Arthur chuckled and tilted Merlin’s face towards his and kissed him in response. “I know, I know.” He sighed and patted Merlin’s arse. “Welcome to parenthood,” Arthur replied as he sat up in bed once Merlin was next to him.

“Daddy!” Ainsley called again, this time closer. “Papa?!”

“Papa and I are in our bedroom, Ains,” Arthur responded, taking his coffee cup and sipping at it while Merlin tried to get his half hard cock to calm down as he looked at his phone.

He heard the bedroom door open a moment or two later and he looked up to see Ainsley walking in carrying her rabbit. Her blonde hair was messy and her ‘Princess’ pajamas were rumpled from sleeping.

“Daddy! Papa!” Ainsley said happily and rushed over to them, hitting the side of the bed and giggling.

Merlin couldn’t help the smile that crossed his face as Arthur put his coffee down back on the nightstand and lifted their daughter onto their bed, placing her between himself and Merlin. “Good morning, Princess,” Arthur greeted her with a smile. “How did you sleep?”

“Good,” she responded, rubbing her eyes and looking at her dads. “Auwowa and I want pincakes,” she told the two of them, her stuffed rabbit hugged against her chest.

“Aurora and you want pancakes?” Arthur asked, then pretended to think for a moment before he nodded. “I think we can make it happen.”

“Yay!” Ainsley cheered, grinning and showing off her teeth.

“We’ll even make bacon and eggs. Sounds good?” Merlin asked her, smiling at the little girl.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Ainsley nodded happily. “Pweeeease?”

Arthur chuckled and nodded, kissing her forehead. “Anything for you, Princess,” he responded and pushed the blanket off, moving to sit on the side of the bed. After a moment, he stood up and got Ainsley off the bed. “C’mon, why don’t you and Papa go to the kitchen to get breakfast started?”

“Ok!” Ainsley said and looked at Merlin finally getting off the bed from the other side. “Papa!”

“I’m coming, I’m coming!” Merlin replied with a grin as he went over to Arthur, quickly kissing his lips and muttering “Later,” against them before he turned to Ainsley and picked her up, setting her on his hip. “Off we go!”

As he walked out of the bedroom with Ainsley cheering in his ear, he saw Arthur adjust himself through his own pajama pants and smirked to himself before focusing back on Ainsley.

He’d have Arthur later, once Ainsley was with Gwen and Morgana.

For now, it was time for pancakes.
