“Merlin. Merlin. MERLIN!!!”
Merlin awoke to a hard slap on his cheek, which he is sure will leave a mark. He looked up at who slapped him and his gaze falls to that of his king and secret love. His sandy blonde hair and his gorgeous blue eyes. Merlin sits up and rubs his cheek with a pout.
“What was that for?” he asks as he rubs his cheek. Arthur rolls his eyes and gets up to go over to the table in his rooms, sitting on a chair.
“Well I had to get you up somehow considering you would not wake when I called you. Now get you bumbling bum out of bed and fetch me breakfast. After that you need to get my stuff ready for our journey home.” Arthur then turned his attention to the pile of documents on the table in front of him. Making sure he had all the documents from the treaty he had just signed with his neighbouring kingdom, Emerald.
“Didn’t have to slap me so hard. What if I have brain damage?” Merlin continues to pout and get out of bed.
“If you do not have brain damage after all the times I have hit you, I don’t believe you ever will. Perhaps one day I will actually knock some brains into you. Lord knows you need them.” Arthur stated not looking up from the paperwork.
“Why do I even love you?” Merlin whispered.
“What did you say Merlin?”
“Nothing Sire.” Merlin sighed. As Merlin was making the beds that were slept in that night there was a knock on the door. Both heads turned to the door.
“Enter.” Called Arthur. In stepped Gwaine with a wide smile on his face.
“Good morning, my Lord. How are you this fine morning?” he asked with a bow.
“I’m good. And what has you in such a fine mood this morning Gwaine? It being so early and all.” Arthur asked with a raised eyebrow. This made Gwaine smile even bigger.
“Just had a fine night with a nice lass is all, my lord. All the knights are up and are getting ready to head out for Camelot, my lord.” He bowed.
“Good. Good. I will be to if my servant would hurry up!” Arthur said as he turned to look at merlin who had just finished tidying the beds.
“Ok. Ok. I’m going. Don’t get your crown in a twist.” And with that he walked to the door and exited catching glimpse of Arthur as he left. Merlin turned right at the end of the path and headed towards the kitchen. ‘If only he ever saw me as more than a servant… Hah. Get it together Merlin. There is no way that the king will ever see you in such a light. He is happily engaged to Gwen and always will be in love with her. He will never love you.’ He had arrived at the kitchen and started to load up a plate for Arthur with a sigh.
-----------AMAMAMAMAM--------------
A few hours later Arthur, Merlin and the knights had departed from Emerald and were on their way home to Camelot.
“So Merlin. Do you have a person you fancy back at Camelot?” Gwaine asked and everybody turned their head to await an answer from merlin smiles on their faces.
“Perhaps. Why?” he asked suspicious. It’s not every day that the bring up this type of conversation. But it was Gwaine, he was always starting random conversations.
“No reason really. Have you ever asked her out?” Gwaine asked with a smile. He leaned closer to Merlin. “Or done some other stuff with her?” he wiggled his eyebrows.
“No! They are engaged to another and do not notice me at all. It is just wishful thinking that they would one day grow to love me.” He finished with a sad smile.
“I’m sure you will find somebody one day Merlin.” Piped up Percival, giving him a pat on the back.
“Yea if they can get over how much of an imbecile you are.” Joked Arthur.
“You are so funny, my lord” spoke merlin turning his head away, only one person noticing him wipe away a solitary tear at those hurtful words.
“Anyway we should pay attention to the surroundings. This area is a prime spot for bandits and the like.” Stated Arthur receiving nods from the others in acknowledgement. The knights surrounded Arthur with Merlin coming up behind him. Merlin couldn’t help himself and started to stare at Arthurs back. He quickly turned his head sideways before anybody could catch him doing it.
There was a quiet birdsong that started to the left of them. This song gave merlin a bad feeling. “I have a bad feeling about this Arthur” he said. He started turning his head from side to side, waiting for something bad to happen.
“Really Merlin. Please will you just…” Arthur started to say before an arrow was shot and just missed Arthur by millimetres, imbedding in a nearby tree. Everybody got off their horses and formed a circle around Arthur and Merlin. “It’s an ambush. Hold your positions.” A group of men surrounded them leaving no room to escape. Their leader standing on a rock up ahead with two swords held in his hand and snarl on his lips.
“Why if it isn’t king Arthur of Camelot? Quite a long way from home aren’t you.” He sneered, jumping down from the rock causing his long black hair to fall in front of his eyes. “Bet you don’t remember me do you? The names Alar. You banished me and my brother. Now I think it is your time to die.” He laughed.
“You were banished for good reason. You did not deserve your position as a knight. You and your brother leaving your posts cost many lives.” He said as he got in Alar’s face. His own sneer fixed upon his face as he gazed into the deep brown eyes of the man before him.
Alar’s eyes travelled to the man behind Arthur. “Why if it isn’t Merlin? The kings constant shadow.” He moved around Arthur and lifted his hand to merlin’s cheek. Still red from this morning when Arthur had slapped it to wake him up. “Such a pretty thing. Always wondered what it would have been like to bed you.” Merlin looked aghast at that comment. “Bet you’re a screamer.” He laughed as Merlin glared at him.
“Don’t you touch him!” Screamed Arthur. He had turned around just in time to see Alar place his hand on merlins cheek.
Alar moved behind Merlin pulling him to his chest resting his chin on Merlin’s shoulder. “Why Arthur, such concern for a servant. Perhaps you know what I am talking about already. Hmm? Does he grace your bed at night?” he slapped Merlin’s bum causing him to stumble forward. “Well when you’re dead I guess I’ll find out for myself.” He laughed.
Arthur raised his sword and attacked. “We will see about that.” And with that all hell broke loose. Arthur and Alar’s swords clashed as the knights took this as their cue to defend themselves against the men surrounding them. Merlin made his way to the side picking up a fallen sword and trying to help when he could. “Ahh.” Merlin looked to Arthur and noticed Alar had slashed his arm with one of his swords. Alar raised his sword to deliver an final blow to the king while was distracted.
