Merlin fanfic:

Gwaine's cheekiness

Chapter 1

One bright morning….

Merlin: rise and shine!

Arthur: (moans) noooo…. I don wanna….

Merlin: come on.. you have to! You won't want to go to training with an empty stomach!

Arthur: …..

Merlin: fine. At least you will lose some weight if you don't eat breakfast…. (chuckles)

Arthur: (sits bolt upright) what did you just say to me?!

Merlin: no.. I just said the sun should..uhh..be brighter…?

Arthur: NO! YOU JUST CALLED ME FAT!

Merlin: no.. I just said you should lose some weight!

Arthur: Merlin! (starts to throw heavy objects at Merlin)

Merlin: (thankfully, ducks)

While Arthur throws heavy objects at Merlin and him ducking… the king was coming down to Arthur's chambers…

Uther: (opens door, just then, Arthur throws a silver plate at Merlin.. Merlin ducks… and it goes straight into Uther's face….)

Arthur: :0 ohhhh noo…

Merlin: turns around slowly.. turns hot then cold..

Silence…

Uther: (takes a deep breath) is this the first time Arthur has thrown stuff at you Merlin?

Merlin: n-no… he-he calls me names an-and he's thrown stuff at m-me since t-the day I arrived here..

Arthur: well he deserved it! He's an IDIOT!

Uther: no Arthur. He has tried to help you. He has done all of these things for you. So for that, you will be joining Leon, Gwaine, Percival, Lancelot, and Elyan in cleaning the throne room and ceremonial room!

Arthur: what! no. way. I haven't done anything wrong! Except.. i.. accidentally.. hit you on the.. uhh.. head… anyway.. he called me FAT!

Uther: you will do as I say! And you will stay in your chambers except for the cleaning and that will be for 3 days! (storms out)

Merlin: I think.. um Gaius has some potions.. for me to um… deliver…bye! (walks out)

Arthur: ( growls)

Previously….

The Knights of the round table ( Gwaine, Lancelot, Percival, Elyan and Leon) were mucking around the horses.

Gwaine: this is boring.. who says we go to the Tavern?

Leon: no.. and you certainly won't be going.

Percival: no, I don't get drunk Gwaine, you know that!

Lancelot: you know what happens when you get drunk Gwaine.

Elyan: DO NOT GO GWAINE!

Gwaine: come on guys! We have nothing to do right? Just for a quick drink!

The knights exchange glances.

Percival: fine.. only for 1 drink Gwaine! ONE!

Elyan: yeah one and we're out of there!

Leon: … ok…..

Lancelot: just ONE…. But I thought we had to do something… or was it yesterday….

Gwaine: ohhh yeah! Lets head out!

But the knights forgot one thing left on their duty scroll… Lancelot was right but he wasn't sure.

When the knights came back, no one but Gwaine was heavily drunken, they had to drag him back to Camelot when he had his 6th glass. They rode home happily until they saw the king's thunderous face when they arrived at the gates…

Uther: WHERE WERE YOU?!

Leon: at the Tavern?

Uther: YOU WHAT?! YOU WENT TO THE TAVERN WHEN YOU STILL HAD ONE MORE DUTY LEFT! AND IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE COUNCIL MEETING!

Lancelot: (blushes deeply with embarrassment) we didn't mean to sire.. we didn't know we had another duty to finish… we thought we were all done! And-

Uther: no more excuses! You will all be punished! You will have to scrub the throne room and the ceremony room on your knees! Is that clear?!

Knights (except gwaine) : yes… sire…

Gwaine: im gonna be dozing off… bye world!

King leaves.

Everyone turns to Gwaine..

Elyan: YOU GOT US INTO TROUBLE! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SUGGESTED IT!

Lancelot: Elyan.. even though he dragged us into it we shouldn't have agreed!

Gwaine: you woke me up from my kiss with Greena the Apple! How dare you! Ahahaha….

Leon: (tries not to burst with anger)….

Present day: in the afternoon

Arthur: (angrily storms into the throne room where the knights were busy polishing.. well.. except Gwaine, he was half-heartedly scrubbing the floors with the edge of the the cloth lazily.)

Leon, Percival, Lancelot and Elyan: sire?! What are you doing here?!

Arthur: I was forced to come here for punishment because my stupid, half- witted servant told on me! I was just chucking some heavy objects to his THICK SKULL when my father came in and that idiot ducked and the silver plate landed on father! Now, he's got a big bruise thanks to Merlin!

Gwaine: well, that sounds like the usual prattiness of princess Arthur! Always blaming someone else! Hehehe!

Arthur: its not MY fault that Merlin ducked! AND STOP CALLING ME PRINCESS!

Merlin: (grins) ( he was there with guards to check if the noble knights were doing their job) its not my fault! If you haven't thrown heavy objects at me in the first place, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble!

Arthur: no! IT IS YOUR FAULT! IF YOU HAVEN'T CALLED ME FAT! I WOULDN'T HAVE THROWN THINGS AT YOU!

Merlin: you but if you haven't….

So the show went on for a few minutes until Lancelot and Leon finally broke them up arguing while Gwaine made himself very useful (not) by laughing and rolling on the floor and tears forming in his eyes.

Guard: back to work!

Arthur: (scowls) ( stands up and puts one foot on the cloth and begins the wipe the floor)

Percival: you're supposed to put it in the water first.

Arthur: (sighs and holds the cloth between his thumb and index finger as if it was a rotten fruit and dumped it in the water… then he throws it on the floor, puts his foot on it and begins the wipe again)

Lancelot: (already done a lot more than the other knights) come on guys! The sooner we finish, the sooner we get out of here! … for the day…

Elyan: how come your so fast Lance?! I haven't done a meter and you've already have done half of your part!

Percival: maybe because he does hard work and doesn't talk and he concentrates on the tasks unlike Gwaine.

Leon: yeah, I done that but I only did like, one quarter!

Gwaine: (dips his cloth into his bucket and splashes water at the thunder faced Arthur accidentally)

Arthur: WHAT THE HELL GWAINE! IF YOU DO THAT ONE MORE TIME, I WILL BURN YOUR HAIR OFF!

Gwaine: it an ACCIDENT! Wait, no! not the hair! Anything but the hair! Please! No! not the hair!

Arthur: then go back to work then!

Gwaine: hehe... ok princess.. ( grabs bucket and sneaks over to Percival and pours some water onto him)

Percival: Gwaine… YOU. WILL. PAY. FOR . THIS! (grabs his bucket and splashes Gwaine!

Gwaine: this is gonna be fun! (pours water on everyone)

Lancelot: no one goes near my area! No one! (runs over to gwaine and splashes water on him)

Soon, everyone was throwing water at each other. Outside the throne room:

Merlin: I wonder how they are going…

Guard 1: we should give them a few minutes

Guard 2: knowing Gwaine, he wouldn't have done a lot…

Merlin: Lancelot probably did the most

Guard 2: yeah…

King walks down the hall way to the throne room.

Uther: have you checked on them yet?

Guard 1: yes 10 minutes ago sire

Uther: this time I'll check too

Guards nods. Opens the door.

Uther peeks through

Uther: what. The . hell.

Knights stop and drop their buckets and cloth on the floor. The first thing Uther saw was all the knights throw water at Gwaine.

Gwaine was sopping wet.

There was guilty silence .

Lancelot: we can explain! Gwaine-

Uther: this is supposed to be a punishment! Not a fun room! Arthur! How can you do this?!

Arthur: but! Gwaine started it! He chucked water at me!

Percival, Leon and Elyan: yeah!

Gwaine: (couldn't stop laughing at Uther's big bruise)

Uther: SILENCE! The first thing I saw was Gwaine being chucked at with water! From ALL of you! Have you no shame?!

Arthur: father! He started all this mess! HE led them to the tavern! HE started this water fight!

Uther: but you joined in and ganged up on Gwaine! Poor Gwaine! ( Gwaine was Uther's 2nd favorite with Leon his 1st favorite from the knights)

Everyone was shocked. Uther didn't believe them! Well he did, but he's on Gwaine's side!

Uther: Gwaine come here, take a bath and your punishment is over.

Gwaine: (eyes brightening)

Uther: for today. ( Gwaine's face falls) you still have to do it for 2 more days.. but the rest of you! (turns to the rest) will have to do it for 6 more days! You understand?!

Arthur: FATHER!
Uther: no protesting! Keep on working! (turns to leave with Gwaine following closely behind him)

Gwaine: (turns around and smirks playfully at the rest of the now boiling, raged ,knights)

(guards close the door)

Arthur and the knights: GWAINE! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!

THE END
