"Are you avoiding me?" Gaius asked, coming out of nowhere on him. Those eyebrows were accusing him of something already.

"Merlin."
"I--" Well, he needed to tell him sometime... "You were busy!"
That didn't help.
"Merlin, I am frequently busy, and yet I always manage to find time for you in my schedule," said Gaius, in that not-quite-accusing way that he has. "My boy, what on God's Earth has you so skittish?"
"I told Arthur," Merlin blurted out in one quick spurt. There. All said. "About me."
Gaius' eyes widened almost comically large. "You what?"
"He took it well!"
"Well obviously, since you're still alive," Gaius replied, pacing away from him.
Merlin bit his lip, shrugging helplessly. "I had to."
