This is a newsboy AU so,,,,, expect some Newsies references, and there is a Merthur chapter coming up!

"Tell Will I'm going to Brooklyn!"

"You hates Brooklyn! And he knows that too!" Daegal twisted his hat in his hands.

Merlin thought. "Tell him Ise out late sellin'?"

"He saw you sell ya last pape."

Huffing, Merlin made a hopeless gesture with his hands. "What now?"

"Tell him youse gonna see that boy."

"He don't like fancy people, do he?" Merlin fiddled with the bluebells he picked for him.

"Maybe, but when he sees how much ya loves him... besides, Lance ain't much fancy anyways. Will's met him before, he likes him more than he do with otha fancy folks."

Merlin gave his friend a small smile. "Alright, I'll be back soon!"

Daegal returned the smile. "Ya better be!"

With a tip of his newsboy cap, Merlin ran off towards Lancelot's house.

Tap tap tap.

Lancelot set down his book and raised his eyes to the window. Then, gaping, he rushed to it and opened it. "Merlin?"

"Bonjour, mon armour!" (that was purposeful.) A cheery smile took over his face.

"What are you doing?!"

"Seeing you!"

"How'd you get up here?!" Lancelot took his arms and tried to get him inside.

"Clamb! Clumb? Climbed!" 

Lancelot sighed affectionately. "Get inside, it's pouring."

Merlin looked up to see rain pattering down on him. "So it is." he tried to clamber into the house, but slipped.

"Merls!" Lancelot grabbed onto his arms and caught him.

"'M good! Thank yous!"

"Are you out of your mind?"

Merlin looked at the distance from where he was and the ground, then chuckled nervously. "Heh... Yeah, for suore."

"For suore." Lancelot imitated with a small smile.

"Are you ok?"

"Hm... my head's spinning just a little."

"Did you hit it on something? That'll explain you not knocking on the front door." Lance joked.

"Oh, c'mon, Lance!" Merlin grinned and tilted his head, "This is way more cliché and romantic!" He remembered the flowers tucked in his hat. "Oh, and by the ways," he tipped his hat politely, "I believe these are for you!"

Lancelot blushed lightly and took them. "Aww, thank you!" Smiling, he kissed him gently on the top of his head. 

Merlin's eyes widened as he blushed. He let go of the window sill with shock. "WH-"

Lancelot sighed and caught him again. "You wanna break your legs or what?"

"No, I wanna woo you." he replied, rushing his words.

"By breaking your legs?"

Merlin chuckled. "Alright, I'll be more careful."

"Good." Lancelot hauled him into his house. "Because I love you and don't want you to break your legs."

Smiling, Merlin kissed his nose. "i loves ya too!"
