West's Summer [Comprehensive English and American]

A long time later, recalling why he said such words in a flash of his head at that time, West can only attribute it to the timing is too coincidental.

He thought he would never see him again in this life, and he came to England with a heartbroken heart. He probably didn't have the intention of escaping himself, but he didn't expect to be given such a big surprise.In addition, he believed in the evil of that old man Gaius, and Merlin didn't wake himself up with a slap... To be honest, if he didn't respond to this, he really wasn't a person.

Although, Lord Hermit felt that he and Merlin were actually quite embarrassed.

"Good morning."

Seeing that it was almost time, Merlin helped Gaius prepare breakfast, and opened the door to wake someone who was lying in bed.However, he found that West was already fully dressed and sitting by the bed, looking out the window and thinking about something, his eyes were still obviously black and blue, his face was gloomy, and he looked as if he was not satisfied with his desires and hadn't slept all night.

"……Good morning."

Seeing him enter the door, Master Hermit quickly got up and smiled a little embarrassedly, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a kindergarten child who was named by the teacher.

Then, the atmosphere between the two became strangely silent.

It seemed a bit like last night, after they had said everything clearly.West and Merlin, who had just been promoted from "friends I met on the first day" to "couples I met on the first day", were stunned in the middle of the room, at a loss, staring at each other, even touching each other accidentally. I feel nervous to the corner of the other party's clothes.

There is no way, one is a bachelor for decades, and the other is a first love for thousands of years.It takes all the courage I have accumulated to be able to confess. As two 'elderly people' who are quite conservative in this regard, they may not be able to adapt to this change in identity for a while. Embarrassment is purely normal.

——You should hurry up and say something!

Roaring in the bottom of my heart almost at the same time.Both of them took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to raise their eyes to look at each other, but when they met each other's eyes, they faltered again, feeling exhausted.

Why don't you ask me what happened last night.

West began to wonder if he needed to use his ability to go back in time.

"...Since you are awake, come down and eat."

With a light cough, in the end Merlin couldn't bear to see the bears of the two of them, and tried to pretend that nothing happened.After struggling for a long time, traces of tension could still be heard when he spoke.

They still have classes today, especially West has been absent from core courses for nearly half a month.If the professor catches him coming late and leaving early before the summer vacation, he won't even be able to get his grade points this semester.

——Although it is true that I did not come to Oxford to study, it is really embarrassing to be kicked out and spread to New York.

Thinking of this, West nodded, not caring about his discomfort, picked up his schoolbag and walked downstairs.

However, when he passed by Merlin, he saw his handsome side face, and his heart moved slightly.

The hermit has always lived smoothly in his life, except for the mess that Yi Laizhe found for him with Adelaide, no one has ever frustrated him to such an extent.At first it was an inexplicable liking, and then a sad separation. Even if the two of them are connected now, they dare not be sticky together like other couples, just like their way back to Camelot from the Ukiyo Forest. , each with their own minds, knowing each other's intentions, but neither of them is willing to take the lead in compromising.

They are too worried about gains and losses, and too cautious.This is obviously not acceptable.

It doesn't matter if you approach it quietly, or try it out slowly.As long as Merlin was still by his side, he would always have a chance to warm him up a little bit, into his palm, into every inch of his blood and bones, even if it couldn't last for a long time, he wouldn't be afraid.

Thinking of this, it seems that there is a warm current spreading from the fingertips to the bottom of my heart.West stopped in his tracks, and before Merlin looked suspiciously, he leaned over slightly, and gently kissed him on the cheek as light as a breeze.

"I'll wait for you, baby."

He waved his hands indiscriminately.Without waiting for Merlin to react, he secretly smiled and ran out, slipped down the stairs, his footsteps made a light and pleasant sound on the wooden floor.It caused Gaius to look around frequently from the kitchen, his face full of doubts.

--This guy……

Touching the somewhat hot cheeks, the cheekbones seemed to still have the soft touch that was about to leave.The black-haired mage who was secretly taken advantage of by others was stunned for a while, with a complicated expression on his face, but his eyes were like a stream that melted and thawed in early spring, shining a sweet and warm light in the morning light.

There is only one person in this world who can make his heart feel ashamed in an instant, and then turn bright in an instant.

After a long time, after reminiscing about this hard-won kiss, Merlin finally lowered his head and smiled.

……

Since it was getting late after the wound was treated last night, it was too late to have a showdown with Merlin.It was past midnight when West remembered that he should say goodbye and go home.Worried that he would go back to the unoccupied house alone, and the wound needed another bandage the next morning, Gaius enthusiastically persuaded the boy to stay here for one night.After getting Mr. Hermit's consent, a guest room was vacated for him across from Merlin's room, and he lived in quite simply.

Although, he personally felt that it was a pity that West refused to sleep with Merlin.

"How did you sleep last night?"

Taking out the medicine box to change the gauze for the patient, Gaius smiled and looked at the quiet boy obediently stretching out his hand in front of him, just like in Camelot, he really liked it no matter what he saw.

"……pretty good."

——After all, he couldn't possibly say that he just confessed to Merlin and was so excited that he couldn't sleep well, right?

As soon as she jumped onto the sofa, Abby ran out of her nest while the old doctor wasn't paying attention, and lay down on the boy's lap.He stroked the tactile long fur of the puppet cat with one hand, and occasionally scratched its chin.Although he didn't close his eyes for half the night last night, in order not to worry Gaius, West still nodded guilty.

That's good.

Put the last bandage on the wound.The old doctor smiled gently, and refused to ask the young man to help clean up. He could not help but drive him to the dining table to eat the cold breakfast.

At the same time, Merlin who laughed alone for a long time on the second floor also walked down slowly.

"Are you sure you slept well last night?"

Hearing their conversation, he was naturally not as easy to deceive as Gaius.The mage, who was also insomnia all night, walked to West, and it was a bit funny to see his guilty look:

"Hope you don't fall asleep in class today, Will."

"... each other each other."

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said that he didn't care who caused it.West coughed lightly, took a sip of milk from the glass as a cover-up, "I don't believe you slept well last night either."

"But I'm not lying." She narrowed her eyes and smiled even more happily.The mage pulled out the chair next to him and sat beside him, dragging West's plate to help him cut the fried eggs and sausage into small pieces:

"You refused to ask you to live with me yesterday. Since you can't sleep, maybe we can chat in bed or something."

"Are you really just chatting?"

He accidentally spilled some milk while putting the cup on, which caused the abby on his lap to jump onto the table immediately, looking eagerly at the breakfast on his plate.West held down the cat's head lightly to prevent it from approaching Merlin, and tilted his head to help feed the mage into his mouth with a glance.

"Please, I can do it with one hand... It's just a small injury. What kind of serious patient do you think I am?"

"As long as it hurts you, I can't rest assured."

Since West was unwilling and not reluctant, Merlin pushed the plate back in front of him, reached out and hugged the cat off the table.When he straightened up, he caught a glimpse of a bit of milk on the young man's lips that he hadn't had time to wipe off from the corner of his eye. He blinked and quickly pecked at the corner of his mouth without hesitation.

"Good morning kiss, I have to give you one back too."

Seeing West's expression froze, the bacon that reached his mouth fell back onto the plate together with the fork.The mage couldn't help laughing, and met the boy's dull gaze, then reached out and rubbed his soft brown hair.

Thank God, he's been wanting to do this for a long time.

"Do you like it, baby?"

Imitating West's tone upstairs just now, Merlin smacked his cheek with his fingertips, bringing him back to his senses.After all, this is not the case before, even if you get pulled out of the fire, you can't do anything.With such a justifiable reason, he was hoping that West would be more active, and that the heart of the earth would melt.

"...don't make trouble."

Clapped Merlin's hand away.West's cheeks were hot, trying to act like nothing happened, picked up the fork and continued poking at his breakfast.As a result, when he looked up, he found that Gaius, who had also come to the table at some time, was looking at them with great interest, and even the wrinkles on his face were stretched out one by one.

"You two are together?"

He patted West on the shoulder across the table.The old man smiled mysteriously, and blinked happily at the boy:

"I'll just say it. Merlin's thoughts are written all over his face. He likes you so much that even Abby can tell. That little guy gave him a paw this morning... By the way, where's my cat? "

"On the ground. But I'm going to throw it into the Thames soon."

Squinting his eyes, he ignored the puppet cat under the table meowing at him dissatisfied.Merlin crossed his arms, remembering that the little guy had been trying to sneak into West's room this morning, and rolled his eyes towards the ceiling:

"I like to lean on other people's boyfriends, and I don't look like a serious cat at first glance."

"..." He obviously choked, and West almost sprayed all the sausage in his mouth on his face.

Of course, he wouldn't admit it. In fact, since Merlin admitted the word boyfriend so generously, he still had a little bit of secret joy in his heart that couldn't be concealed.

Compared with Gaius' reasonableness, the reaction of other people to the relationship between West and Merlin was more complicated.It's okay for Arthur and the others to say that they were mentally prepared after all, but they were still quite frightened by the speed with which they accomplished things overnight.And the most troublesome part is the Hermit Lord. Although West didn't take the initiative to say anything, but with the ability of the group of people who watched the fun and didn't think it was a big deal, he was really not surprised at all. The next day, I received calls from people rushing to question him.

such as.

"West!! You actually fell in love behind our backs? The partner is actually an Englishman?!!"

Somewhat unexpectedly, it was Hawkeye who was said to have just crawled back from the Amazon jungle to attack him first.The guy laughed heartbreakingly on the phone, congratulating the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Seriously, have you guys figured out when to break up?!"

"..." Holding the phone, the corners of his eyes twitched.Hearing the muffled 'boom' on the other end of the phone, it was evident that the black widow slapped the bird who had accidentally told the truth on the door, Mr. Hermit was in a very complicated mood right now.

Compared with this bastard who can't spit out ivory, Steve, who has always been generous and tolerant, is really happy for him.He conveyed their blessings for Bucky, who was too lazy to answer the phone for teasing the cat, and reminded the young man worriedly that in view of his special status, his two fathers might not be happy about it. Have a good talk.As for Iron Man, who always likes to make big news, this time he was uncharacteristically silent. He just said "what's the fuss, let's talk about it when we come back", and hung up the communication without hesitation. Describe it as horror.

... As for it?

Holding the mobile phone with only a busy tone at a loss, West digested it for a while, and always felt that he had peeked into the possible reactions of his two fathers in the future.

"what happened?"

Sitting on the edge of the pool dangling two long legs.Merlin lazily wrapped his arms around the boy's neck, resting his chin on his shoulder, squinting his eyes in the warm afternoon sun: "Is there anything difficult to do?"

"...a little trouble, nothing."

He knew Charles, as long as it was West's own choice, he would only fully support it.Coupled with the fact that he already knew the significance of Merlin to his adopted son, it would not be a big problem... But Eric is different.

—I shouldn’t be beaten to death by him, right?

Blinking with grievance, West turned sideways and hugged the mage back, smiling purely and gently.

"The road ahead is bumpy, Merlin."

"It seems that I want to hide you well."
