Some Bradley & Colin's Characters🥰

Hi! Hope you're having a good day too! I've been thinking about this because a lot of it depends on the tone, right, so for first kiss, I think there a few possibilities:

1x11

Like...right here

or maybe 2x13.

Oh wait, OK I've changed my mind, it's not an either/or situation. 1x11 is their first kiss and obviously the scene would have to be a re-jigged a bit where at first Merlin tries to do some rescue breathing and when Arthur awakes from the sleeping draught, Merlin is like this

and Arthur lifts his head and they have a gentle peck and they live in that moment for, like, a second/half a second and then they're like

and they brush it off as a state of panic, as him solely trying to do mouth to mouth, it was not intentional, it was not romantic and then throughout the rest of season 1 and all of season 2 there's the romantic and sexual tension and then in 2x13 the sexual tension

and romantic tension

comes to a head and then when Merlin is going to go with Arthur into battle

and this is actually an overt confession

so then Arthur decides to kiss him

The first I love you, I want it to be kind of casual, like in 3x02 during this scene

Merlin will just blurt out, Lucky for you that I'm in love with you because NO ONE ELSE WOULD PUT UP WITH YOU! and neither of them realize exactly what was said until they're separated and they both act like it wasn't said because, you know, a bunch of stuff is going on but then here

he would add, and that's one of the reasons why I'm in love with you.

And then first time having sex... I would say 4x02

from another post of mine:

"oh-my-god-you're-alive-you're-not-dead-I-need-to-be-with-you-right-now" reunion sex

Bradley beams with pride for Colin.
