Summary
Drunk at a feast, a lovesick Gwaine makes a pass at the object of his desire - Leon. Naturally, Leon assumes Gwaine is only interested in him for sex, and Leon does not do casual sex, especially not with someone he has feelings for. Desperate, Gwaine tries to come up with some way to prove his real feelings to Leon. He consults Merlin and Arthur, and Gwen and Lancelot, but none of their meddling helps.
When some inexperienced knights on patrol accidentally kill a group of traders from Mercia, Camelot is forced to prepare for King Bayard to lay siege. Leon throws himself into work to avoid thinking about Gwaine. Then Gwaine is injured, and everything finally becomes clear.

Summary
Sometimes, Leon wondered if Gwen and Morgana knew how he felt about them. Sometimes, they would look at each other knowingly, or look at him knowingly, or touch him in a lingering way that most likely meant nothing but still made Leon hot all over at the thought of more. At every feast and ball, they would each save a dance for him and spend their time holding him tight and gazing up at him. They always smelled so good, so tempting.
It was after one such ball that Morgana invited Leon back to her room.
