iPhones, Strange Music, and New Friends

by trillion42

Reincarnation. Arthur has risen and is now living with Merlin, but seriously the future is kinda annoying him. Between Merlin's new style, friends, and technology, how is he supposed to be his former manservant's best buddy? These are basically a bunch of stories on how Arthur tries to understand the future and this new Merlin. No slash (unfortunately). Bromance only.

1. Chapter 1

"I know! That episode was so amazing last night! And don't get me started on that…" Arthur heard Merlin say into a small box-thing he held to his ear. The warlock had called it an "eye-phone" but the king had no idea what a "phone" was. Arthur had no idea what a lot of things were. All he could remember was dying….then waking up. Merlin said centuries had pasted. Arthur didn't want to believe it, but seeing his former manservant's style of clothing, he kind of had to.

Arthur had not been allowed outside Merlin's house since he had risen two months ago. That had annoyed him. It also annoyed him that Merlin kept making references to things he didn't understand. And Merlin's new friends annoyed him. He never met them, but their way of speaking and how they would constantly call the warlock on his "eye-phone" downright irritated him.

"'Kay, bye," said Merlin as he turned off his "eye-phone." "So Arthur, what do you want to do? I could explain the internet to you."

"Sounds tempting," said Arthur dully. This "internet" annoyed him too. Merlin spent a great amount of time on there. Shaking away his mourning thoughts, he indicated a radio. "I've been wondering, though, what is this thing?"

"Oh, that? It's a radio. It plays music," said Merlin. "Want to try it out?"

"Ummmmm….sure," said Arthur. Merlin showed him how to turn it on (as he had been doing with most electric appliances.) Arthur pressed the button and waited. Merlin turned this dial thing on it. A sound like….Arthur couldn't describe it, it was that terrible! He ran away from that evil magic and covered his ears.

Merlin laughed as he changed the station. "I see you're not a Justin Bieber fan."

"Justin what? You call that music?"

"No, not me. Some do though."

"The future is odd," Arthur noted.

Merlin looked at him sadly. "Yeah, I know. It sucks when it becomes your present, then eventually, your past. And then everything changes except you."
