He doesn’t know exactly how this thing between them started. When did their bickering turn from frustration-fueled to affectionate? When did he first look at Gwaine and see brave, beautiful and honorable instead of foolish, libidinous and shameless?
Or was there never a time before Gwaine took residence in Lancelot’s heart?
It’s getting late. Gwaine should go back to his own chambers, it won’t do for him to be found here at this hour. Lancelot needs to release him. He pulls the other man closer. Kisses the top of his head. Just a moment longer.
