If there is one thing that Arthur loves to do, it is to embarrass Merlin.

“Hey, are big ears sensitive to the touch?” he calls across the room.

Said ears turn crimson – mission accomplished.

There is something so delightful about the way the blush seems to take over his entire being – Arthur would love to strip him bare and see just how far down it goes. If Arthur ever does get to see Merlin naked, he’s pretty sure Merlin will be blushing.

Alas, for some inexplicable reason, Merlin doesn’t seem to like him…

“Hey, Skinny Malinky!” he tries again.

If Merlin had pig tails, Arthur would be pulling them. Silly boys. And they wonder why they can't get anywhere.

This was cute and funny! :-)

I like to think that Arthur spends most of his time pulling Merlin's pigtails :)

Oh, absolutely!! :-)

Arthur just needs to be patient and grow up a bit; once that happens he will have his Merlin forever and always :-)

[tari_sue]

Yeah, that was pretty much Arthur's problem for the first two series at least – he needed to grow up! Silly boy.

Arthur really knows how to flirt....

Love it :D

[tari_sue]

You know it! How anyone could turn him down it quite beyond me! And him.

Good thing that Skinny Malinky secretly has a crush on him, right? ;)

I can't imagine why Merlin doesn't seem to like him *g*

Loved this, and it is an excellent candidate for expansion into a much longer fic with lots of misunderstandings and further hair-pulling, and ending up with a more considerate Arthur seeing just how far that blush really does go. *looks pleading and hopeful*

Merlin is clearly just being picky…

I guess future additions depend on future prompts.

Maybe Arthur witnesses Merlin in the embrace of a guy who worships skinny malinky Merlin's ears with his tongue.

Won't that be something.

Do something real fast Arthur your booboo is getting snagged u numptie

[tari_sue]

Aww, poor Arthur, I think his head might explode…

Oh, Arthur. He certainly knows how to woo a guy. Not.

[tari_sue]

He is the definition of Prince Charming…

[schweet_heart.livejournal.com]

Haha oh dear. Arthur has such a way with words. I can't imagine why Merlin isn't swooning on the spot XD

[tari_sue]

I know, right? Arthur is charm itself!

Oh Arthur, way to disguise your crush LOL. :)

[tari_sue]

He is… special

Arthur is confused about how to flirt. Maybe Gwaine should start flirting with Merlin to show him how it's done. That would certainly make Arthur sit up and take notice.

[tari_sue]

Funnily enough, I was thinking exactly the same thing :D And Gwaine, of course, would be doing it on purpose, because his favourite thing is to annoy Arthur…

what have they done to the comm layout? it's so pink my eyes hurt!

They Valentine's Daysed it up.
