Fourth Floor Common Room; WEDNESDAY Evening [ 03/18 ].

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

It was a little ironic, that this should happen after Saint Patrick's Day, but a suddenly bearded and Irish Cal McStephanides (which was a very ancient clan name, don't you know?) made haste to the common room. He was driven by a great swell of sweet pride, and could not wait to tell the world.

"Oy!" he announced, to no one and everyone in particular. "Did ye hear about our Merlin?"


[[ so very open, especially once our Merlin gets here. This post is a beautiful concoction of four holy things: muns in the same room under the influence of each other, insanely sexy bearded icons, Irish PBs who aren't playing Irish characters, and this which is NSFW. But it is Win For Life. ]]

Merlin, meanwhile, was trying to disappear behind the couch before anyone noticed this display.

It was Christmas all over again!

"Cal, no!"

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Git on out from behind thar," said Cal, waving his hand. "Ye should be proud. Yer a gay man naow."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"I am proud," Merlin muttered in a way that wasn't proud at all. "Ye jus' keep tellin' everyone! Ye can' do that!"

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Course I can. I should! Jus' watch me naow; maybe I'll make ye a nice sign."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"No!" Merlin cried, looking absolutely horrified. "Ye wouldn'!"

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"A great big sign," Cal decided, nodding and gesturing greatly with his arms after a moment to scratch his beard. "In big, bold rainbow colours. Did you hear about our Merlin? He's a gay man now!"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Ye can't!" Merlin insisted, not doing anything to try and stop him for some reason.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Naow, where could I find some markers? Or a big cardboard sign?"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Oh look! There just so happened to be some nearby! With glitter too!

Merlin, however, was trying to cover his ears face out of sheer embarrassment.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Oh, naow!" Cal beamed brightly, moving over and lifting it up, inspecting it, before heading over to the table to spread it out. "Lookit that! Naow that's a nice fookin' posterboard right there."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Cal, ye can' be serious about the sign." It was just cruel and unusual!

Emmett walked into the room and sort of eyed the two guys in the room for a couple moments.

"...dude, Ears. I didn't even know you had the testosterone to grow a beard," he said after a moment.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

Cal jumped right on the chance to tell someone, anyone, the great news the moment he showed up.

"Did you hear about our Merlin?" he asked, and then puffed his chest with utter pride. "He's a gay man naow."

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin's beard shrank down a bit, trying not to draw any attention to himself there.

[mauledbyabear.livejournal.com]

Emmett's eyes widened a bit before he burst out laughing.

"Oh my god! A gay man? Really?" Emmett couldn't stop laughing. "What will Badgerface say?"

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Aye, laddie, but I am!" said Cal, especially since he was already writing out the first word. "No need to be shy, Merlic McMerlin. Yer a gay man naow!"

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Really really," Cal nodded. "Honest to God Allmighty, he's a gay. And we're all so proud of him, too. Who's Badgerface? You've a boyfriend already, Merlin? That's not the rent boy, issit?"

Ronan hadn't found food quite greasy enough for his hangover in the fifth floor common room -- when you've still got one after sleeping fourteen hours or so, it takes a lot to help cure it -- so he'd decided to wander a floor down.

"I've heard we've got one, yeah," he said, rolling his eyes. "What about 'im in particular?"

Claire was looking for Cal or cereal, possibly both. She found one of the above. "You grew a beard?"

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"He's a gay man naow!" Cal answered in his newfound Irish drawl, beaming with pride.

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin looked horrified at that suggestion, shaking his head quickly. "I wouldn' have a rent boy, Cal!"

Those cost money.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"What'ya mean, grew it?" asked Cal, stroking the stubble with pride. "I've had me beard since I was practically fresh out of the womb! But tha's no matter. Did you hear about our Merlin? He's a gay man naow!"

Merlin was trying to hid behind the couch now, anything to avoid his roommate's overly proud declarations of his sexuality.

He just hoped for no chocolate body parts.

[mauledbyabear.livejournal.com]

"Badgerface is the girl that loooooooves Ears," Emmett said, grinning widely. "But I guess she's barking up the wrong tree, eh?"

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

"Cal!" He was a horrible roommate. Worse than his ma.
