Rating: T
Merlin was to start University tomorrow. He decided to move into his dorm today. While he was walking up the flight of stairs to the hallway where his dorm is in, when he heard a familiar voice.
"I can't wait to see what idiot I'm sharing a dorm with. But it better not be Merlin, that'd be a nightmare! ," exclaimed the voice. He now knew who it was. Arthur. Merlin was hoping that he would just be in the same halls as Arthur, it would be more of a nightmare for him if he had to share with Arthur. He would be annoying him all day long.
When Merlin reached the top of the stairs he looked around the corner quickly to see that Arthur was standing in his doorway facing the other way talking to one of his friends. He looked at the number on the door, only to see it was the same as his. He was not happy. He started walking towards them and Leon spotted him.
"Hi Merlin. Arthur and I have just been talking about you." Leon said, smiling at Arthur who had now turned around.
"Ah, yes, I may or may not have heard what Arthur said. 'That'd be a nightmare' indeed. Now if you'd like to move out of my way I'd like to settle into my dorm." Moving past Arthur, he noticed that Arthur had chosen his room so he went in the next room. "Oh, and by the way, don't make too much noise in the morning, or I'll kill you." And with that he closed his bedroom door.
"Unbelievable! I have to share a dorm with Merlin! Well, I'll make as much noise as I want in the morning." Arthur said to Leon, who was only half listening. Leon wanted to go and have a walk around, and get to know the place, so he said his goodbye's to Arthur and 'Good luck' and went.
Arthur walked into his and Merlin's dorm and went to the kitchen to get a pint of beer from the fridge. He knew that this would be worse than he expected. He sat down on one of the sofas and turned on the television. Flicking through the channels he didn't hear Merlin walk in until he sat down on the other sofa.
"Just pick a channel already." Merlin sighed, getting bored of Arthur just glancing at the titles of the programmes. "That one! I love Doctor Who." He said making Arthur jump.
"Meh, I find it quite boring."
"I find you boring, now let me watch it." Merlin had been a fan of Doctor Who for years, although this was just a re-run of episode 10 from series four, called 'Midnight'.
"One episode, then it's what I want to watch. Okay?"
"Fine, but you'll like this one, it's got Colin Morgan in it. He plays Jethro."
It had been about one hour and the episode finally finished and Merlin got up to go to his room and read with some music playing quietly. Arthur carried on watching TV until about 11 p.m. and when he got tired he went to have a shower, got ready for bed and was just lying there when he heard Merlin turn up his music a bit more. It was nice music. Ben Howard, that's who it was, he thought. He loved Ben Howard, it was lovely calming music so in a matter of minutes, he fell asleep to the calmness of 'Promise', his favourite song.
I wonder if Arthur likes Ben Howard, Merlin thought as 'Promise', his favourite song, was halfway through.
"I better get to sleep" He told himself, putting Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire down. It was about his 4th time round reading the Harry Potter series. As he was already in his pyjamas, he got into bed, leaving 'Promise' playing and fell asleep at the same time as Arthur unknowingly.
