-----------------------------------
Arthur's shirt harsh against Merlin's face, beneath, he felt the hard pull of princely muscles. Rough, ruthless, a sword-solid arm tightened around Merlin's neck. In his hair was the wild scrap of knuckles.

Arthur was an arse, too boisterous by half, always pulling Merlin close, strong-arming him onto the floor, laughing as he did so. Arthur didn't know his own strength. At times, Merlin left with bruises, yellow-green-purple, scattered across his skin.

But other times, Arthur's touch sent him soaring up, breathless with want.

Merlin could escape Arthur's rough-housing, but why would he when it led to so much more?

Arthur really doesn't know his strength: punching Merlin in the arm, grabbing him around the neck, throwing things at him, etc. He might want to be s bit more careful with his "fragile Colin" :-)

Oh, Merlin, of course he would put up with it. That was wonderful, and the last line was perfect.

Of course Merlin will take Arthur laying hands on him any way he can get it.

Arthur's roughness is probably his way to hide his feelings 😉
