and wails!
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*
