Author's Notes: none
------------------------------------
He's ridiculous really, all big ears and too-thin face. Merlin tramping around the room, that grotty neckerchief of his emphasizing that long throat, his hands delicate and yet so strong when wielding a sword or fending off bandits.
Arthur wanted to throw something at him for making him feel this way. Merlin was a contradiction of soft and hard, sweet and sour, turning words into banter or quarrels. But his smile could light up a room and Arthur wanted nothing more than to wrap his arms around Merlin and never let go.
Perfect imperfection.
And Arthur loved him for it.
