(Laughs head off) ok... ok, I'm done.
So I was reading a Merlin fanfic and this popped to my head... sorry if I'm accidentally copying anyone!
Short oneshot, drabble, whatever-the-heck-you-want-to-call-it. :) Using this to break down a writer's block dam, but for those who have been reading my other stories, thank you and I swear I'm not abandoning them! I'm just busy!
Here we go! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't know a spell that will transfer the rights to Merlin to my name, nor am I persuasive enough to get BBC to willingly turn them over (I don't have charmspeak either). So, therefore, I. Do. Not. Own. Merlin. Capiche?
Gaius sighed. Heavily. He had been trying- and had failed miserably- to wake up Merlin for the past half hour. Nothing had worked! Simply telling Merlin to wake up and go to work, shaking him, yanking off the sheet, threatening Arthur would be furious, pulling open the blinds and yelling "Rise and shine!" in his ear- heck, he had even tried clanging pots together!
As Gaius checked "clang pots by Merlin's ear" off his dwindling mental checklist, he reached for a bucket of water nearby, planning on throwing it (the water, not the bucket!) on his ward but stopping as a better idea popped into his head- and a mischievous smile crept across the physician's face.
He put the water besides the bed, knelt down by Merlin, chuckled slightly, and said, "Merlin, wake up! It's Arthur, he's in trouble!"
Gaius leapt back, laughing, as Merlin sat up and looked frantically around before trying to get up- getting tangled in his sheets in the process and crashing to the floor, head straight into the water.
Merlin took his face out of the water, his hair suddenly modeled in a mohawk, sputtering and still looking around. Finally, his gaze fell on Gaius, who was still laughing hysterically. Merlin glared.
"Not funny, Gaius!" He said fiercely.
Gaius fought on a straight face and looked down at his ward. "You're right, Merlin. It wasn't funny."
Merlin sighed in slight relief that it appeared he wouldn't be teased for this. Then Gaius burst out laughing again.
"It was hysterical!" He finished in between laughs.
Merlin got up, grumbling to himself, and left his room, hair dripping all the while.
(Laughs again) Sorry, in my head that just looked ridiculous! Hope you enjoyed! :)
