Merlin stood watching over the sleeping king. He just stared for a while. To Merlin, Arthur was the perfection only angels could achieve. Trembling, he reached out to touch Arthur. Merlin ran his fingers gently across Arthur's body.
Gwaine watched his little brother from the door way. His brother was being creepy about his massive crush on Arthur again. It was so huge he was finding it harder to keep it a secret and it was sporting out in squirts of creepy. He needed to tell his secret to someone or Gwaine knew he was going to be fired!
"Man Youre a creep!" He said. Merlin snapped up straight in embarrassed shock.
"How long have you been there?!" He asked.
"Since about when you were singing about how he was perfect!" Gwaine said walking into the room.
Merlin licked his lips slowly. "That's a while," he said lowly.
"God I know!" Gwaine said.
"please dont tell anyone!"
"your secrets safe with me Creepy McCreepster!"
"thanks Gwaine!"
"your welcome now lets go!"
Gwaine tried to drag Merlin out of the room slightly. Then he acknowledged that he couldn't. The king starred. Gwaine made a break for it. Merlin tried to keep him in the room.
"You can't leave me!" Merlin said
"Why not?!" Gwaine asked.
"Well… what will I say when he wakes up?!"
"What do you usually say?!"
"I dunno!"
"Big help!"
"Please!"
"Fi-ine!"
Then again Arthur starred but this time his piecing blue eyes opened slightly. "Merlin? What are you doing here?!" he asked.
Merlin swallowed. He looked up at Gwaine as he stumbled over his words. He just caught a glimpse of Gwaine's jacket vanishing around the door.
"Merlin! Just get breakfast!" Arthur groaned.
"Break-breakfast! Yes sir!" merlin said hurrying out to get to the kitchen.
Gwaine leant on the wall to watch him run. It somehow gave him an idea on how to get Merlin to reveal his "secret!"
The next morning, Merlin was making his way to muck out the stables at Arthur's command when Gwaine grasped him and pulled him round the corner.
"Merlin! You're coming out with me today!" he said.
"No, no i'm not!" merlin said.
"Yes, yes you are!"
"No, I have chores to do for Arthur!" Merlin said.
"No need! I got someone to cover for you!" Gwaine lied.
"Who?!"Merlin asked.
"Gwen! Now come o-n!" Gwaine pulled him towards the steps into town. Merlin let him and they were on their way. Gwaine's plan was put into action!
