Summary
"Yamaguchi broke the silence. “Hey Tsukki, how much do you want to bet that Kageyama makes another first year cry today?”
Before Tsukishima could answer, Hitoka found a small snort of laughter bursting out of her.
They both looked at her, startled and pleased.
“Yachi-san,” Tsukishima hummed, faux-scandalized. But she had heard him bicker with the rest of the team enough to hear and see the delight that colored it.

The First Years become Second Years and with that... maybe more mature. Or maybe not, but at least better friends.
(a collection of one-shots)

Summary
It was all too quick: an arrow jolting into Arthur’s back with a fleshy thud, Arthur crying out. Five more arrows in the air, one pointing to Arthur's heart. Merlin flung himself forward, threw his arms out, screamed his magic in a blaze of fire. The last arrows crackled into nothing. Archer after archer fell, thumping to the ground.
And Merlin had no time to shout, no time to gasp, no time to move back. Arthur was already spinning, his sword swooping up and slashing back down in one smooth movement. A perfect arc to target Merlin’s neck. The blinding white edge too large in Merlin's vision, too close. It snagged in his neckscarf, cut right through to his skin.
Time stopped.

Summary
Arthur doesn’t think about it, because it's a weakness. The knights pat each other on the back, and sometimes they roughhouse for a bit. Arthur is above that, and he only does it when he really wants to cheer up one of his men. That’s initially what he wants to do to Merlin, too, when his idiot of a manservant’s face droops and he can’t quite make his smile meet his eyes. But he doesn’t, because the thought of touching Merlin—his lungs constrict, and there’s no reason for him to be touching Merlin, no excuse that would make it proper.
Touching Merlin would be because Arthur wants to, and he shouldn’t.
Or: Five times Arthur is a touch-deprived mess who really wishes he could touch Merlin without an excuse, and one time he learns he doesn't need one.

Or, Merlin has always been Arthur's Favourite apparently. It would've been nice if someone's bothered to tell Arthur.
