[It's some time later in the day when Merlin gets home. Charlie made it a point to not go out at all, considering the curse, but at one point she actually had to go out to take animals for a walk. So...there had been a few kisses from strangers and said strangers are now singed just a bit. Even if it is a curse, Charlie feels awkward and uncomfortable.

She's now in the kitchen with Gwaine, baking cookies for various gift baskets. Gwaine perks up when Merlin arrives home and Charlie sets the mixing bowl down, wiping her hands off and hurrying out to greet him.

Except, instead of her usual greeting, Charlie takes a step under some mistletoe and...

Well, two seconds later Merlin should possibly find himself pinned against a wall being quite heatedly kissed by his wife.

Unless he resists but why would he do something like that?]

[ Indeed, why would he resist? That's really pleasant surprise to come home to, and while Merlin's shocked - makes a noise fitting it and everything - and needs to make sure it really is Charlie kissing him, he rather quickly moves his arms around Charlie and kisses back.

He's not quite ready for the warmth and the sudden need to arch off the wall and press against Charlie, although the feeling is very familiar and he knows exactly what it is and. Well. That was quick. ]

[Yes, that is a pleasant surprise. Oh, she's going to remember this and use it often. The combination of kissing and having Merlin so close has her tugging slightly at his shirt, hands slipping underneath to run over his skin as she pulls away just enough to talk.]

Our room.

[That's all. Those are the only words said before she resumes her kissing. And it's not a demand, for the most part. Merely a suggestion.]

[ Well, she's not exactly making it easy. There's a sound of agreement from him, a "mm", but she's still somewhat keeping him in place and so there's not really much he can do. Except for pulling her even closer, which he does.

But, hey, there's no rush. They'll get there. ]

[Charlie is an impossible brat, Merlin. Why did you even agree to marry her? Tugged closer, she chuckles a bit. This was starting to get fun. Charlie's fingers were wound in his hair, her other arm around his waist. They really only had just clothes between them by this point, didn't they?

Charlie started walking backwards, tugging him with her.

Getting to their room was in fact a goal, but the build up to that was a lot of fun.]

Harry has picked up the hot coffee he brought for Merlin and is wandering further into the shop still mostly thinking he's swept up in the atmosphere if the day. This is because women have been kissing him voluntarily for no apparent reason. Does an ego good to have people walking up and planting a kiss on you. He'll be in for a rude awakening when he figures out what's actually going on.

Hearing Merlin's voice at the end of his post he enters the back room and gives him a broad grin. "Hey man, brought you a coffee."

[ he had hoped to avoid this.

He truly had.

He knew what he was getting into the second he turned on his phone that morning (it took him a while but he did learn the better side of caution).

but honestly. Truly. Must he?

Staring balefully at the little space above Merlin's right shoulder, he huffed. ] I hope you know this is completely against my will. [ because while he may not be able to keep his will, he can still resist long enough to make a point. A very important and necessary point. He was not usually in the habit of kissing his servants! ]

[ This is a completely unnecessary curse. Honestly, who needs to be forced into kissing everyone? Who even needs to kiss anyone? But he's not beyond the curse, certainly not, and when he steps up to greet Merlin the mistletoe bursts to life above him and he's tugging Merlin close to land a smacker of a kiss on his lips.

Well.

Kissing, honestly. ]

[ Because she's a brat. There's apparently something about those.

Walking can be tricky enough without the distraction of a kiss, so Merlon stumbles slightly and is mostly kept as upright as he is thanks to Charlie being so close. He uses her as a bit of support, one hand latching onto her shoulder for a moment as he gathers his bearings, but very soon that hand is on the back of her neck and curling into her hair. ]

And, naturally, there shall be a mistletoe. So Merlin only really has time to say thanks and take the cup before he's giving Harry a pretty decent kiss.

Still, he very much cuts it short and pulls away rather abruptly, snatching the mistletoe from above their heads to burn it in his palm with a sigh. "And good morning to you."

[There's more walking backwards until Charlie's back thumps against their door. Her free hand fumbles for the doorknob, failing enough with it where she actually has to stop kissing Merlin long enough to look at what she's doing.

But then the door is opened a moment later and she looks up at him with a grin.]

Hi, sweetheart. Welcome home.

[And he's pulled into the room, Charlie shutting the door behind him.]

[ This really isn't surprising.

Of course, that doesn't mean Merlin is happy about it. Not really angry about it, either, but. Yes. It could be worse - how many times is he going to tell himself that today, he wonders - and they're just going to act like it never happened and things will be great. Or, well, not great. But fine.

Probably. ]

I know. Same here.

[ So, with that settled, he leans in and kisses Arthur. Good lord, the things the City does to you. ]

[ Good, they're two on thinking that. Not much to do about it, though, sadly, and, well.

Well.

He shouldn't keep getting as surprised as he does. But he's scratching at his cheek as he pulls away. ]

Right. Yeah. Hello.

T-thanks.

[ There's the slightest laugh as the door closes, and that's at a rather convenient place and he's just going to corner Charlie against it as a bit of revenge for that greeting. If it can be called that. Just a bit of payback.

He presses his forehead to hers, smiles as he gives her another kiss - very brief and very soft, more like a brush - before he drags his lips down and along her jaw. ]

[Charlie has forgotten how to think. Between Merlin pressing her against the door and the lips on her neck and just. Everything that's happened since he got home, Charlie's lost in it all. Her yes close, her fingers curl in his shirt and her head tilts slightly, exposing more of her neck.

Yes, she'll have more of that please. She can't really voice this desire, however, except to let out a pleased sigh. She tries to return the attention, kissing whatever part of his shoulders, neck and face she could reach.]

[ Oh no, bashful blokes kissing over bashful blokes. This can only end well. ]

Oh, I'm terribly sorry Merlin. It's just one of those curses today, isn't it? I didn't mean to say hallo in that manner.

It takes a moment of far more impressive kissing that they have any right to before Harry realizes something has gone screwy in his life. He blinks and backs up in a hurry, clearing his throat and he can't really blame Merlin because he was totally into it too and stars and stones what was wrong with this picture.

"Well... this is awkward."

[ his lips are staying firmly shut, y e p -- wait, that was actually somewhat nice. Or maybe it's just the City that has his lips moving instinctively against Merlin's own. The day has been rather, um...

stimulating, after all.

He can hardly be blamed for leaning in a little bit closer to enjoy it, can he? It's just... he's obviously not in his right mind! ]

[ Nope, he definitely can't be. Neither can Merlin for further pressing into it, because it is stimulating, pleasant, nice. Kisses generally are, of course, but usually he finds it easier to pull away.

Odd.

He even finds himself grabbing into Arthur's collar to keep him there. ]

[ Obviously. ]

Yeah. Yeah, of course. I know. It's. It's fine.

[ AHEM. ]

The City's fun that way. Merlin is trying to play it cool, he really is, because it's all just because of the City. But it's difficult. And maybe doing a bit of an awkward head scratch and shifting on his feet is rather appropriate.

"A bit, yeah. But, hey, it's... just the City."

He shrugs with a slight grimace, and tries a smile. Just trying not to care is the best way to go about this, he thinks.

Fortunately Harry's pretty confident in his own sexuality. So instead of keeping the awkward and leans in closer to Merlin and says in a stage whisper, "Let's not tell your wife about this." He gives Merlin and pleasant grin and then sighs. "So... all those girls outside? Not drawn to my irresistible charm and rugged good looks?"

"She knows it's a curse day, she wouldn't kill anyone." But, no, Merlin doesn't think he's going to be telling her all the people he kissed today. No need. "And, sorry, they probably weren't." And with an amused smile, he adds; "Not all of them, anyway."

Harry laughs and shakes his head. "Throwing me a bone. Thanks man. Do you think they'll expect an apology. I wasn't exactly beating them off with a stick or anything." Yeah he liked feeling like a rockstar for a while.

"They probably just assumed you were under the influence as much as they were."

Merlin's all for throwing bones. He's nice like that.

[ There's a muffled noise against Merlin's lips the second he grabs his collar, but then there's shifting and Arthur's suddenly more then a bit closer and before he can even stop to think, he darts out his tongue and licks...

Wait a moment. He's kissing... and Merlin is...

In a startled moment, Arthur remembers exactly where they are and what they're doing and he's pulling back.

Maybe.

It entirely depends on Merlin. ]

[ Well.

That licking snaps him out of it, because, whoa, that's a bit far, isn't it? So he drops his hands a moment later, and pulls back too. ]

Err...

[ Shit. ]

[ It takes a moment for Arthur to remember his mouth can be connected to his brain and he's immediately backing up a step and throwing up his hands ]

Believe me. That wasn't me. That was just the curse.

[ and the dozen or so kisses he's had throughout the day that were much, much, much more thorough.

Er... Shit indeed. ]

[ He mirrors that action, raising his own hands. Easy, easy.

They're good.

Totally. ]

I know. I know it was. Wasn't me either.

Right.

Good.

[ he stares at Merlin, careful not to make any sudden moves. ] So... you're not gonna mention this to anyone... Are you?

[ like Charlie. Or Rain. Because he'd much rather this never happened. ]

Not if you don't.

[ So, his leaps are sealed. ]

Of course I won't. Why would I?

[ perhaps a little too quick to answer, but the honest truth. He's got no reason to tell anyone. Ever. ]

[ Not blaming him. ]

No idea. I just thought I'd double check.

Edited 2013-01-07 14:49 (UTC)

[ good, just... good ]

O... kay.

Well, I should, um... go now I think. Didn't you have somewhere you needed to be as well?

[ because, you know. Why else would they meet like this in the hall? Other then the fact they...

live

together. That is. ]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[ AHEM. Time to go, yes. Away. Far away. And not return for a while. Brilliant plan. ]

[ a most excellent plan. In fact, Arthur may decided to just, um... skip dinner as well. Nothing suspicious there! ]

[ Nothing suspicious at all!

Merlin would call about it if he didn't know the reason and refuses to bring it up again. Lalala. ]

[ truly, an excellent manservant. Now leave a tray just outside his door. ]
