you and merlin were both apart of the seven deadly sins, and were the “outcasts” of the group. merlin was a woman who was generally cold and one whose jaded personality pushed most away. you, were a very oblivious person, one who had no good read on any social situations and as a result never really fit in, often getting into trouble and on the receiving end of some piece of anger due to your inability to understand any amount of social cues or emotional nuance. the two of you got close, more specifically merlin took a massive liking to you, you didn’t look at her like other men did, you didn’t treat her any different, you just looked at her with your empty air headed eyes and she loved every second of it, she wanted to keep that innocent personality intact for as long as she could.

today you were reading a book on magic, flipping the pages and looking out into the pleasant nature outside, while reading merlin walks in happy and pets your hair, looking down at you.

“is everything ok today dear? did any of those nasty sins bully my poor sin of lust? did they do something to make you upset, or are you just as happy as can be?”

silence, you didn’t realize you were supposed to respond to merlin’s words and she found it as amusing as ever, she pulls the back of your head into her chest and strokes your hair.

“i swear, you can be such a ditz of a boy, not even looking my way when i show up and talk to you, what ever will we do with you? would you like me to read with you or make some dinner, and this time, use your words to communicate properly dear.”
