[ Merlin's hearing isn't anywhere near as good as Athena's. He's also distracted, concentrating more on how Athena is getting her breath back. His hands drop, and it's when he lets down his guard she's moving suddenly and he's almost falling off the couch.
He opens his mouth to yell, to ask what she's doing but he just ends up with a mouthful of pillow.
This is what he gets for letting his guard down. A lesson well learned considering he didn't exactly think to take a deep breath before this started. His hands move to try and find Athena's wrists while he's trying to not cough into the material. He's already starting to feel dizzy when he hears Ai speaking and suddenly this makes a little more sense but--
why this?
His hand tries following her arm up, patting at her lightly. It's when Ai suddenly trails off that his breath really is falling short (has it been two minutes? he isn't even sure now) that his hand flails a little to try and push her off, moving through air until he hits something soft. He can't gather his thoughts enough to magic the stupid pillow off, and it's way too close for him to concentrate on it properly.
His hand slumps against her, falling to her lap as he starts blacking out.
