Cupid Undone (Merlin/Arthur drabble, PG-13 for incest)

If only our parents had stayed together, we wouldn’t have ended up in this awkward situation.

Deep in his heart, Arthur knew this was a lie.

Arthur and Merlin. Merlin and Arthur. It was “precious” when they were five and Arthur claimed Merlin as his future bride.

It was teenage rebellion when they were fifteen and sneaked into each other’s rooms all summer long.

Now, they were twenty-five, and Arthur was running out of excuses for slamming his twin against their bedroom wall and whispering filthy things into his red, slick mouth.

If only we had met as total strangers.



A/N: Answers [info]kinkme_merlin's prompt: Arthur/Merlin, reincarnation, one time they get re-born as brothers.
Also answers [info]writing_game Cupid Undone prompt and [info]merlin100's Awkward prompt.

If someone wants to make this long and pr0ny, be my guest. *beams*

One of these days I'll write canon incest. And by that I mean Arthur/Morgana, not Uther/Arthur =P Although Igraine/Tristan has potentials.

the twins' family history

They're fraternal twins and look nothing alike except for their blue eyes. Their parents got separated when they were eight. Arthur went with his workaholic dad, and Merlin went with his OCD-ish overprotective mum, but they usually spent either summer or Christmas hols together.

They never spoke of The Incident When They Were Fifteen. They grew up, went to different schools, different universities, led very different lives in different parts of the city. And one night they bumped into each other in a bar. Arthur was toasting Lancelot's engagement to Gwen, and Will was plying Merlin with alcohol in light of Merlin's recent breakup.

And the rest is history.

;-)

THERE. NOW GET SOMEONE ELSE TO WRITE IT >=D

Oh, guh! (Um, I'm the first person that commented on [info]kinkme_merlin, if that's, you know, of any importance.) I think you're doing just great and should keep on writing drabbles. ;o) I love the fact that they rarely saw each other - it creates this tension where they're aware of each other, aware of being brothers, but at the same time hardly know one another, probably bump heads because they can't imagine the other's life. Perhaps each a little jealous of what the other has. And at the same time, they have a reason to quite believably want to get closer to one another, to get to know one another, to confirm there is a link between them. And what with their fucked up lives, they might just do that in an unconventional way that would set their parents' hair up straight if they found out about it. (Also, I love the idea of Hunith/Uther, and their divorce. *g*)

Aww, thanks.

Yes, this <3

they have a reason to quite believably want to get closer to one another, to get to know one another, to confirm there is a link between them.

I love your meta on my tiny drabble =D

(Also, I love the idea of Hunith/Uther, and their divorce. *g*)

Hee, in my mind Uther is this crusty Dean of the English department. The type that still has an honest-to-god typewriter in his office. After the divorce, Hunith went back to school and learned to be a patissier. ;-)
