merlin gets sick. like. bad sick. maybe its a curse maybe its natural idk all i know is that merlin gets sick. he has a fever so high he is somewhat delirious. his whole body hurts. he feels like death. he ends up traversing the castle to enter arthur’s chambers and climbs into bed next to him. he was in pain and felt like shit and in his delirious state, he went to the one person who could always offer him comfort. arthur wakes to find merlin curled up next to him, his tunic fisted tightly in his hand as if to keep arthur where he was. gaius quietly walks in and extracts merlin from the bed, apologizing and explaining that merlin was ill and delirious with the fever. merlin is being tugged out of bed, away from arthur.
he’s fighting as best he can which, considering he’s sick, isn’t that good as gaius doesn’t even blink. then merlin is being dragged across the room, away from arthur and his body heat which was chasing away the chills and his touch was easing his pain. merlin starts complaining, whining more like, about how he wants arthur. gaius apologizes again and says he’ll send for a replacement to serve him before finally getting merlin out of arthur’s chambers and back to his own bed. gaius steps out for an hour to retrieve herbs from the town and returns to finds arthur curled around merlin in his little cot in his room, merlin fisting arthur’s tunic and arthur’s hand rubbing up and down merlin’s back.

I think it’s really adorable how Rick is like extremely affectionate, he’s always giving someone a kiss or a hug; more to his wife, like he’s never shied away from that. Like when he gets with michonne he’s attached to her hip instantly, also after like a month of knowing someone he calls them his family 😭😭😭

3 am Moshang thoughts:
Remember when demon courtship and liking is hinged on physical dominance? So I think what if after learning how fragile humans are, Mobei-jun discovers the next best thing— hugs?
It starts off as a thrill from putting his arm around QHs waist during court meetings, when he thinks no one can see under the table. (Everyone pretends to be blind, THEY’RE SITTING ON 1 THRONE PLS!!).
Other times, his hugs are tinged with possession, a quick arm over the shoulder when other demons look one too many seconds at his lover. Like this, QH would playfully elbow him, eyes teasing.
MBJ pays him back on the many days he secretly portals to An Ding. Amusement plastered on his face as he gives surprise back hugs that earns him a squeak and a weak protest. A guarantee of work postponed.
But on days that work keeps his beloved, MBJ would wrap him tight in a bear hug. The peak lord is prone to overworking but overworking with a 200lb blanket, that sighs and sends death glares to paperwork? Like this, QH gets forced to taking better care of himself.
At night, MBJ welcomes the numbness on his arm as he holds QH to his chest. He looks into the face pillowed on his arm and gently pats his back to the rhythm of his breathing, which lulls them both to sleep.
But out of all the hugs, nothing makes MBJ feel more enamored than when QH jumps into his arms. He relishes the slight shift in his gravity, the arms the snake around his neck, the legs that wrap on his waist and kisses on his face, welcoming him home after a short parting.
END.

okay okay okay okay okay the way this harlivy piece was released in Batman Chronicles Gallery #1 in 1997,, before the iconic Tango With Evil one by Alex Ross in 1999, and it's general pose similarities, but like instead of it being a one-sided romance with him possessively gripping her wrist rather than hold her hand,,, they're just actually holding each other
ya know?????
