I'm A High Functioning Sociopath. Do Your Research

Made a grasshopper sitting on the wheat. It's all made entirely of glass.

Arthur is aware that he's been enchanted to be in love with Merlin. He's completely oblivious to Merlin's feelings though. Otherwise his mind is clear.

Merlin: so, here is the antidote

Arthur: *staring at the antidote* maybe... Maybe let's wait a few more days?

Merlin: what? Why? Don't you want to turn back? I thought this was terrible?

Arthur: it is... i mean, it was. But actually? It's sort of - nice.

Merlin: what? Being enchanted?

Arthur: *flushes* being in love with you.

Merlin: *Thunderstruck* erm... How am I supposed to understand that?

Arthur: well, it's just... You're kind... You care about me and you don't judge me for my feelings and I just... Feel save? Around you, I mean. It's nice, being with you. Even if it's not-

Merlin: real?

Arthur: as close as I would like to be.

Merlin: oh

Arthur: *nervously fumbling with his hands* yeah

Merlin: *struggling* Arthur, I can't let you stay enchanted

Arthur: ... I know. Just... Just a few more days? A week max! I promise, I won't reject the antidote again, I just... I just want to feel like this a little longer
