A little something inspired by @guessimaclotpole 's wonderful Merlin fanfiction It's a Safeguarding Issue

It’s a Safeguarding Issue [ART POST]

He wasn’t alone, because even though Emrys had confessed that his heart belonged with another, Arthur was in front of him, his hands curling under Emrys’ arms and pulling him in. His hands reaching up his back to run his fingers through his student’s damp black hair. It was a warmth and a sense of belonging that he needed right now, and Arthur was there to provide it. And as Emrys cried into the shoulder of Arthur’s burgundy, knit jumper; he felt Arthur’s breath against his ear as he spoke.

“Meet me back at my house in half an hour okay? It isn’t far from here, you’ll remember, and I’ll be there soon.” and then one of Arthur’s hands disappeared for a moment before finding Emrys’, and placing a warm metallic object in it. Then Emrys felt the kiss against the side of his head, and watched as Arthur walked back the way they came without turning back. 

Emrys watched Arthur until he was out of sight, then shifted the object in his hand so it rested between his fingers.

Arthur had given him his key.
