That's funny, the way I remember it is that you invited yourself over, on the promise of Chinese food.

[ He scoffs a little. ]

Changed your mind?

[busy]

I had to go back for your extra spring rolls. You can use the extra time to think about how much you want me.

[scornfully]

Oh I can, can I?

[ He chuckles at that. ]

I suppose I'd better go and change into the requested pants.

[busy]

Quick question first.

[And here he hesitates, gone silent except for the noises of the restaurant in the background. When Merlin does speak again, it's with a lowered voice.]

Did you ever...think about me while you were doing those things?

[scornfully]

[ And now it's Arthur's turn to go silent. On the one hand his pride doesn't ant to admit to such a thing, but on the other ... the truth could be helpful for Merlin's self-confidence. Ugh. Being a teenager is hard. ]

Sometimes, yeah.

[ He clears his throat. ]

Why? Did you sometimes think about me?

[ Is that why he picked him to 'get rid of his pesky v card' in the first place? ]

[busy]

Not every time.

[He sounds pretty pleased with Arthur's confession though.]

I'm pretty sure that I thought about something else before I met you.

[scornfully]

[ There's a rustling sound - Arthur's pressed the phone between his shoulder and ear as he shimmies out of his jeans to swap his briefs for that thong. ]

Yeah? But not after you met me, I take it.

[ Arthur snorts, just teasing. ]

Don't worry, I get that a lot.

[busy]

I'm sure.

[If his voice had eyes and could roll them.]

There must be something pretty special about me too, if you're pushing your jeans down and palming your cock through your briefs until - could I have some extra chopsticks? Thanks.

[scornfully]

[ Arthur can't help but splutter with laughter at that. ]

Merlin! Stop being filthy in the bloody take-away!

[ God. He's still laughing. ]

Hurry up and get here. I might feel more inclined to share what's special about you after my spring rolls.

[busy]

Whose phone do you think I'm using?

[He's grinning though.]

I'll be there soon. Don't start without me.

[scornfully]

What about finishing without you?

[ He's so clever. ]

[busy]

Keep your hands off your cock-

[Abrupt stop.]

-a-doodle-doo. Look, there's a family giving me dirty looks, I'd better go before I get kicked out.

[scornfully]

[ Have another burst of laughter. ]

For you, Merlin, I'll try to behave.

[ He's still chuckling. ]

Now apologise to that family for scarring them for life.
