What if. WHAT IF. Like. Arthur has had a string of bad games (because he's too busy stressing about these new feelings for Merlin), barely getting any runs at all, and there's chatter from the press and opposing teams and his father is riding him and then he has an AWFUL game, gets a duck in both innings, and after that second one, comes into the change rooms all ragey and grr and beating up lockers with his bat. And, like, I've heard it's a courtesy amongst players that you don't go in the change rooms when someone comes back from batting, you let them get it out of their system and have a tantrum in peace. But then Merlin comes in because hello, he's Merlin. And Arthur's all grrr, go away, I have manpain you can't understand and Merlin's like *soothing words* and then Arthur pushes him into the wall and kisses him. And Merlin is like *blink* and Arthur is like GTFO and Merlin does.
And there's still two days of the test left and things are strained and awkward but there's also ~glances~ and somehow they win the test and then they're all celebrating a miraculous win in the pub and Arthur and Merlin can't stop staring at each other and then Merlin says he's off to bed early because he's been tapped to do press at 5am and Arthur waits five minutes and makes the same excuse and he opens the door to their room and somehow he's not surprised to see Merlin sitting at the end of the bed, waiting for him, and Merlin's somehow not surprised to see Arthur's followed him back.
