After all Lancelot's talk about honour and sacrifice and proving himself worthy, Arthur thought before he came back to Camelot he would have rescued a village – or perhaps an entire country – from some monster or other. And it would have to be a particularly large and fearsome one, if the gryphon hadn't been enough for him.

But the man kneeling before him was not holding up a dragon's head, only a bunch of forget-me-nots.

"As a token of my respect and esteem."

"For the lady Guinevere?"

"No, sire." Lancelot looked up, surprised. "I learned no one had brought you any, and surely every man and woman, be they a servant or a king, deserves to be given flowers.

"Ah." Arthur looked around, but he couldn't see Merlin, and there wasn't anyone else he really wanted to glare at. He took the flowers. "Does this mean you're ready to be a knight?"

Lancelot bowed his head. "I have not yet accomplished–"

"You've brought joy to the heart of your king in a way no one else has. Let that be enough." He tugged at his old friend's arm, saying, "Rise, sir Lancelot," and thanked him with a kiss the lips.

If he needed to, Arthur knew, Merlin could stop the rain. If Arthur needed him to, if Arthur asked, Merlin could stop time, bend the shape of the universe, bring them back to the castle in three steps.

But Merlin was tired, and there was no great or urgent need to get back. Together they pitched a tent. With a whispered word and a finger drawn along the seam, Merlin sealed out the wet, kept their warmth inside. They kissed to the sound of the rain, laughed through the thunder, and slept through the night. All Arthur needed was this.

My fav. line: With a whispered word and a finger drawn along the seam, Merlin sealed out the wet, kept their warmth inside.

Actually, just that whole last paragraph = <3
