Being Nice


"No, Merlin, over there," Arthur said, pointing at the tree.

Gwen laughed in his face. "He's not your servant anymore."

"I'm being nice," Merlin said. He pointed with the strings of beads he hadn't placed. "You're taking advantage."

Arthur rolled his eyes. "Sit down."

"And if I don't want to?"

"Sit," Gwen said, "or you're sleeping at Gaius's tonight."

Merlin flinched. "All right, no need for that."

He took his place on the rug between them, the fire at their back, and Gwen threw her arms around him. "Happy Christmas, Merlin."

Arthur mussed his hair, and Merlin grinned. "Happy Christmas."
