Moar fic! [livejournal.com profile] soophelia gave me two, this is Arthur/Merlin "flight of dragons". I think I went a bit differently with it than what you were expecting though, soophelia, haha.

Title: Flight of Dragons
Fandom: Merlin
Pairing: Arthur/Merlin
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Don't own.
Spoilers: Nope.
Summary: "Have you ever thought of a tattoo?"



"Have you ever thought of a tattoo?" Merlin asks as he traces lines idly across the expanse of Arthur's back, golden in the glow of a lone candle.

Arthur, exhausted from training, only gives a muffled noise of acknowledgement. Merlin smiles gently and runs a hand across Arthur's tender back, gingerly touching various bruises.

"Like what?" Arthur asks sleepily. He shifts, pillowing his head in his arms, closing his eyes. Merlin he traces one finger on a shoulder blade.

"Oh, something like a dragon." He says, making out the shape. He glances to Arthur's face, making sure he's really dozing, then with a flash of golden eyes, a black line appears on Arthur's back mirroring Merlin's finger movements in the shape of a dragon.

It does look good, stark and proud on his shoulder. Merlin starts moving his finger down Arthur's back and the dragon ripples and moves, following it down like a living thing. Merlin grins as he makes it twirl and loop across the flow of muscles on Arthur's back.

"What are you doing?" Arthur mummers into his pillow, "Drawing a whole flock of them?"

Merlin lets out a little laugh at that, "Yes, actually." He says and spreads his hand just above the skin and concentrates and suddenly there's a whole fleet of dragons, outlined in black, joining the first one in flight across the bare skin.

"You really think I should get one?" Arthur asks and Merlin starts a little and the dragons disappear.

"No." Merlin says after a beat, scooting closer to Arthur's warm body, and Arthur wraps an arm around him and pulls him in, "You're lovely the way you are."
