She glances around but it’s slow, lull between the morning rush and the lunch hour. “Roy and Jamie?” Trent hums and absolutely does not lean in, drawn by the sheer magnetic power of the gossip at last, no sir. “They can control themselves for a couple hours,” she promises with a staggering confidence, considering how relentless they are online.

“I have to say, I was… not expecting that relationship to,” he searches for the diplomatic word, because he knows Keeley is still friends with them both and implode sounds rather harsh, “develop in quite the fashion it did, and so quickly.”

“A toothache?” he says, dead calm, “Are you serious? Are you honestly saying that you think being married to me would be like having a toothache? Merlin!”
“I’m going to bed,” Merlin says, bailing out now and ignoring all protesting sputtering, because this conversation is clearly a problem for future Merlin. He will soothe Arthur and make sure that he knows anyone would be lucky to be married to him, but in a really annoying way. Merlin will figure it out. Future Merlin, that is.
Not this one.
This one is already drooling onto his luxurious down pillow, blissfully unaware of what he has wrought.
