    Summary

    Daine strode in, seven minutes late now, with an apologetic wave and a noticeable bloodstain on her shoulder. Numair realized with a hot spike of shame that he, along with approximately eight boys in their mid-teens, had paused mid-task and shifted their attention completely just to watch her walk in. He swallowed, rallied through his blush and completed the sentence, silently blessing the self-centeredness inherent to adolescence.

    Summary

    Numair felt himself smile and think that her timeline sounded ideal. She was plenty young. They could have a long stretch as a childless couple, entire years where he wouldn’t need to share her, and still have time for two, or even three, children.
    He buttered his own apricot roll and took a huge bite. Numair chewed and swallowed. He replayed the thought he’d just had. He did so again. 
    The roll fell out of his hand and onto the table.

    Summary

    The next time Arthur doesn’t say thank you, Gwaine puts his hand on Merlin’s back, stroking down the long length of it, from the short curls of hair at the nape of his neck to the neat cinch of his waist.

    “Thanks,” he praises, throwing a wink to an agape Arthur as he does. It’s wonderful.

    So wonderful, in fact, that for the next fortnight, for every brusque word that spills from Arthur’s lips, Gwaine spills three sweet ones.
