So this is my first Merlin fanfic, this one just happens to be ArthurxGwen. I recently got into the series, honestly when it first came out back in what 2008, I was a bit skeptical. I mean I love me some King Arthur and Knights of the Round Table, always have, but from what I saw from the commercials I wasn't impressed. Oh how the commercials did not do the show justice. I absolutely LOVE it. So I hope you like and please feel free to review!

Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin, If I did one of the many many things that would happen is Bradley James would most likely be shirtless as much as possible. Ha ha

Call Me Arthur

Night had begun to fall upon the town of Camelot. The sky was painted with fiery reds and oranges that faded to the dark blue almost black sky with stars beginning to come out and twinkle. Few villagers still roamed about the village square leading their goats and animals back to their pastures while few others made their way back home with a basket full of vegetables for the next day.

Within the castle candles and torches lit the darkening hallways and rooms. The kitchens were finishing up for the night, washing the last of the royal seal stamped plates. A few maids tidied up while the personal hand servants were preparing for their last visit for the night with their designated royal.

Gwen walked down the hallway making her way back from Morgana's room where the milady had turned in early for the night. She turned the corner where she almost ran into Merlin.

"Merlin." She exclaimed as she caught the clothes he almost dropped from the encounter. "Sorry."

"It's alright," He gave his goofy grin. "Having a good day?"

"Very, I was just about to head home." She smiled, "You?"

"Busy, Gaius still needs me to clean out the leach tank tonight but I have to go take these to Arthur first." He gestured towards the clothes in his hand.

"Well, I'll take them for you." She smiled as she reached for the clothes, "You go take care of the tank."

"Would you?" Merlin's eyebrows shot up, "Thanks Gwen I owe you!"

"Not a problem, see you later." As she walked away with clothing in hand Merlin walked the other way with a satisfied look on his face.

Gwen turned the corner and walked up to Arthur's door. She took a moment before knocking on the door twice. "Come." She heard Arthur's strong voice say.

She pushed open the wooden door and closed it quietly behind her. Arthur was standing at his desk back turned towards her. In his hand he held some document; Gwen thought it must be important judging by the way his eyebrows were furrowed.

"Where have you been Merlin? If you say tavern I swear I'm going to-"He cut himself off as soon as he turned around. "Guinevere, don't tell me you've had to pick up Merlin's slack."

"No sire, Gaius called for him." She walked over to the cabinet to put the clothing away.

Arthur walked over and sat on the trunk at the end of his bed. "Gwen, stop doing that."

"I don't know what you're talking about sire." She closed the cabinet and turned around with a smile, she took a few steps closer. "Shall I turn the covers down?"

As she began to walk over to turn down the covers without an answer, Arthur caught her arm, "Gwen." She looked down into Arthur's blue eyes, a slight smile was on his face. "I want you to call me Arthur."

"But sire, it's not appropriate." She tried to look away but could not instead she lightly tugged her arm out of Arthur's grasp and started to turn down the covers.

He stood up following the few steps after her, this time turning her around letting his hands clutch her shoulders. "I do not care what is appropriate. I do not care what people think." He brought his hand up, sliding his fingers in her hair behind her ear, his palm caressing her cheek "What I do care about is you."

A faint blush could be seen on her cheeks as he bent slightly down bringing his lips to hers. The kiss was soft and sweet, he pulled away leaving but inches between them. "Will that be all Arthur." Gwen gave an innocent smile.

Arthur's smile spread across his face stretching from ear to ear. "I think there are still one or two more things." He leaned down again bringing his lips to hers once more. This time Gwen's hands slid up to Arthur's chest, she clutched the red fabric of his shirt pulling him closer. Arthur took a step forward while simultaneously turning Gwen around so that they both went tumbling down on his bed. He pulled away, slightly out of breath, and hovered over for a moment.

"You are staying here tonight." He began to climb off the bed and headed towards the door.

She sat up, her feet dangling over the side of the bed. "Arthur, I can't"

"Why not?" He picked up a piece of wood in which he turned horizontal and slid into place locking the door.

"What if someone sees, this is just too much." She began to scoot forward so that she was now sitting on the edge of the bed.

He had walked back over to her, standing in front of her. "The only person who may see you is Merlin, and I will let him know that if he tells a soul I will put him in the stocks for months." He kissed her again, pushing her back down on the bed again. This time Gwen had no complaints.

*Meanwhile*

"You're back early." Gaius said as Merlin came in the door. "I thought you said you were helping Arthur with his destiny."

"Oh yeah, don't worry about it." Merlin smiled as he continued to walk through the room to head to bed, "I did."

Okay what did you all think? So I really wanted something along these lines to happen so I wrote it…lol. Hope you enjoyed!
