Merlin had been practicing asking Gwen to be his best man for a few days but hadn’t actually had a chance to ask her so when she had suggested trying out their suits which Tony Stark had given them he figured it would be a good time.
He made his way to the lobby and was mumbling to himself as he waited for her arrival.
“You know, talking to yourself is the first sign that you’re going crazy.” Gwen said, wandering up behind him in the lobby. She was drying her hands on a paper towel, having just come from the ladies room.
He jumped slightly and turned to grin at her, “Gwen, you should know by now I’m already crazy” he told her with a wink.
Gwen laughed. “Well, that’s besides the point.” She leaned over to give him a one-armed hug, and tapped a kiss against his cheek with a big ‘mwah!’ sound. “How are you? How’s wedding planning coming along?” She asked, as if she hadn’t just seen him upstairs ten minutes ago.
“It’s coming together well” he told her, “Hopefully be even better soon once a few more things are sorted out” he added with a smile. “Actually speaking of, I have something important to ask you”
“Oh?” Gwen said, turning to move with him through the lobby toward the elevator. Tony Stark was, and rightfully so, keeping a very close eye on the suits that he’d made for his friends and employees, but they were able to use them with permission and within certain boundaries. Gwen was excited to get into hers again. “What’s that?”
Following Merlin smiled, he was kind of looking forward to seeing his though he was still convinced he was going to wreck something. “Well, I was wondering if you would maybe consider being my best man or I guess woman in this case” he asked her, trying for casual as he waited for her response.
Gwen’s foot caught on the floor. There wasn’t anything there for her to trip over, just her own foot on the linoleum. She stumbled, nearly falling head-first into said shiny floor, and spun around to face him. “...really?? You mean it??” She asked, torn between shocked and excited at the idea.
Merlin reached out to catch her arm when she stumbled before smiling at her questions, “Really. I completely mean it. I can’t think of anybody else who would be able to help me out and make sure I don’t go totally mental trying to sort this wedding out” he told her.
Gwen gave a laugh, then reached forward to wrap both arms around him in a tight hug. “Of course I will! I’d be honored!”
His arms came around her as he let out a relieved sigh, “Thanks Gwen, you really are a great mate you know?” he told her giving her a squeeze.
Gwen was nearly giddy now. She was excited for the opportunity, thrilled for her friend. It was wonderful. She squeezed him in return. “I know!” She teased. “You’re absolutely welcome, Merl. I mean, I’m so excited! Do I get to throw you a Bachelor Party??”
Merlin laughed, he was very happy that Gwen was so excited. “Yeah I guess you do, I mean I’m sure Nina will be throwing a hen party for Audrey so go for it” he told her with a smile, “Just you know, nothing too mental”
Gwen was already planning it in her mind. She was excited! She’d never done anything like this before. Barely even known anyone to get married. “Oh, absolutely. It’ll be classy.” She giggled, then hugged him once more and let go. “Still planning for Halloween, then?”
Merlin was kind of excited too, he trusted Gwen completely and knew whatever happened they would have fun. “Yep, still Halloween. Think we’re mad?” he asked, he knew it was pretty soon but he had the venue and catering sorted so it was just the guests and all the other stuff to go.
“Nah,” Gwen said, shaking her head and turning to walk with him toward where Stark kept all the suits. “Not really. I mean, if it’s right, go with it.” She shrugged one shoulder. “I’m excited. I get to plan a stag party!” She added, giving him a grin.
Smiling Merlin nodded, “It’s definitely right. I’ve never been more sure of anything” he told her before chuckling, “I’m glad you’re excited, just hang on to that feeling when I’m dragging you around trying to decide on flowers and decorations and outfits” he warned her.
Gwen laughed. “I can absolutely help you decide on flowers and decorations and everything.” She said, nodding. “Isn’t Audrey supposed to be doing all of that, though?”
"She's leaving most of it to me" Merlin replied, "I don't mind" in fact he quite enjoyed it. "I will check with the big things but mostly she's placing her trust in me"
“Really?” Gwen asked, surprised. “She seems like the kind of person who’d want to control everything. But no big deal.” A little shrug and grin. “So… Halloween themed… everyone in costume?”
"I'm more than willing to let her help if she wants to. She might change her mind about letting me take over, who knows" he smiled, "Yes and yes" he nodded with a grin.
Gwen laughed and shook her head. “Okay. I’ll have to come up with the best costume ever.” She said, then turned to lead the way into the elevator.
Merlin smiled as he followed her, "I have no doubt your costume will be incredible" he told her before the doors closed and they zipped towards the suits waiting for them.
