I'm getting to the point where half the merlin fic sounds like bad TW fic. Seriously. It's gaggingly sweet. If there's one thing these boys are definitely not, it's sweet. I mean, they're young, juvenile in behaviour (duh!), so why the coma inducing sweetness?
Let's get a few things straight. Arthur's a man -- he's the crown prince, but it doesn't keep him from being a complete and utter prat, as Merlin so nicely puts it.
Merlin's not some sweet, little innocent sheep (baaaaahs). He might occasionally be naive and he might quite often put a foot in it, but he wouldn't call Arthur a lot of cute and sweet things and then proceed to gaze lovinglly into his eyes.... I'm sure they have their disagreements, and I'm sure they're carried out with a lot of improvisation and intelligence (as in: they know what to do to really get back at each other).
Repeat after me:
Neither of those two are 14-year-old schoolgirls!
*ponders if anyone might write a 14-year-old schoolgirl!Arthur's pink and secret diary -- you know, like we had Lex's diary in SV all those years ago*
