fandomtownies | Valentine's Day Dance | Town Hall

As Desperation Day dances went, this was probably not the most tacky ever. Of course given that it was Desperation Day, so tacky really went with the territory.

There was glitter, oh, was there ever glitter in a multitude of sparkly colours. But even more so, it seemed that the decorators had taken the 'Hearts Afire' theme literally as large cut out hearts adorned the walls. Each with a tissue paper 'flame' bursting from the top of it. Streamers in all shades of pink twisted across the ceiling, forming almost a canopy. Which hopefully would not be literally set afire. The Fire Department would probably disapprove of that. Also a lot of people's dresses would be ruined.

Let's stay away from any literal fire, okay, guys?

Merlin had to agree with that one. "Though, it's better than some of the things ladies wear this time."

"You mean the things they don't wear," Arthur said, pulling on his own jacket to straighten it. "It's a miracle Morgana hasn't taken the excuse to run around half-naked yet."

...Merlin was busy thinking about that now. Thank you, Arthur.

"Yes. That."

Strangely enough, Arthur had no such problems.

He glared at Merlin. Not to be thinking about his sister like that. "Merlin."

She had fabulous breasts!

"What?" Merlin said as though he hadn't just been doing anything inappropriate.

Fabulous breasts made to strangle men in the dead of night.

"Get your mind," Arthur started, "On something more appropriate." Beat. "Like rearranging the furniture in your room."

Or, you know, two beds...

Merlin shot him a confused look. "...why?"

"You seem to have a surplus of beds in your room," Arthur said, "Although if you're too busy mooning over the Lady Morgana to deal with that, pretend I didn't say anything."

"What would I do with the other bed?" Merlin = clueless.

"I'm sure you'll figure something out," said Arthur, who would take the high route on this one, thank you.

Like the one heading towards the table full of snacks. Honestly.

"I could put a couch there, I suppose," Merlin said slowly, chasing after him. "But one bed is a bit... cramped."

"Yes. Cramped," Arthur said, pointedly, "One bed."

Merlin stared at him for a few more minutes. "...oh. Oh!"

Arthur made a thoroughly annoyed noise. "Caught on, have we?" he asked, shoving a hotdog onto his plate. "Honestly."

"You weren't very clear," Merlin hissed, staying in close as though this was private."

Because it was? "We're in public," Arthur hissed, ~~soft enough that squirrels couldn't hear him~~, "I was hardly going to proposition you out loud, you idiot."

"You don't need to proposition me," Merlin replied sulkily.

"You have been talking about doing something about said furniture," Arthur shot back, "I think tomorrow would be a worthwhile occasion."

"All day?" Merlin asked hopefully.

Arthur exhaled. Loudly.

But: "Yes."

Which he'd decided a few days ago. He'd thought about buying Merlin something, but. Sometimes the boy learned.

Merlin beamed and barely restrained himself from kissing Arthur. "That sounds lovely."

Gaaaaay.

"Now I know it's hard," Arthur said, lightly, and righted himself, "but try not to smile like an insane monkey."

Hush. He liked the smile.
