Summary
To that woman at the shop, Merlin is going home to someone who loves him. The Merlin in her mind might spend the night eating cheap Chinese takeaway with Arthur, arms curled around each others’ shoulders while they watch a film. Merlin surprises him with a special Assam blend. Arthur hops in the shower with him and runs his fingers through his hair. They fall asleep together, and Arthur makes him truly atrocious eggs on toast in the morning, and Merlin gets to be loved back.
Suddenly, Merlin wants to live in that world. He wants it so badly he feels sick.
(Or: Merlin tells his coworkers that Arthur is his boyfriend. Predictably, it backfires).

Summary
Arthur had never particularly minded masquerade balls in principle, because there was a certain uncomplicated pleasure in watching a room full of powerful people pretend, for one evening, that they were not quite as important as they actually were, though he suspected he was meant to find all of it tedious rather than strangely liberating, which perhaps said more about his current state of mind than he was willing to examine too closely.
Or:
A masquerade ball, one persistent noble, and Arthur discovering that jealousy is a lot harder to ignore than he thought. The masquerade masks weren't the only things coming off tonight.Prompt: Party

Summary
Arthur Pendragon has spent his whole life untouched—by kindness, by desire, or anything resembling real intimacy. It never mattered. Not until a certain annoying manservant came to Camelot—Merlin—who disregarded all strict royal etiquette and showed no restraint when it came to sudden, reckless displays of affection. Now, there’s something impossible in the space between them, something Arthur doesn’t know how to name—only that he aches to close the distance.

Guys, some obscure quest in the cold far-up mountains made them "huddle for warmth".
Guys, they might give in to this farm fantasy of theirs.
Can't I just put all the tropes in there?
