“Ngggggh,“ Merlin grunted.
Fingers ran down his back with just enough pressure only to make their way up again, just two this time, right next to his spine, moving in little circles.
Merlin sighed in relief only to hold his breath again as the heel of a hand pressed into the muscles again.
“Does this still hurt?” The soft voice of the blond god barely reached his brain.
“Only right there, in that spot.”
The hand stopped and pressed harder, causing Merlin to clench his teeth.
“It’ll be alright soon, trust me.”
Merlin tried to relax and breathe evenly and after a while the soft fingers almost caressed his skin and his eyes fell shut. Damn, that bloke was good.
A soft pat on his back brought him back to reality. “That’s it, Mr. Emrys.”
Merlin scrambled up and reached for his t-shirt. “We’re done?”
“Yes. This was the last of your treatments.”
Making a face, Merlin pulled the t-shirt and his hoodie over his head. “Too bad.”
“Just try to…not fall off your skateboard again over the holidays.” The blond smiled. “We’re not in the office until the new year.”
“No chance of reaching you at all?” Merlin tried to be all casual as he wrapped his scarf around his neck.
The blond scribbled something on a card and held it out to Merlin. “Here, in case of emergency.”
Merlin smiled and said his good-bye as he left the physio’s office. As he walked to the bus stop, he looked at the card to memorize the number and his smile widened.
