Title: Learn To Knock

Author: JeGarr

Info: Merlin walks in on Arthur and Guinevere doing uh, certain activities. Minor suggestiveness and major regretfulness, hopefully he learnt a lesson.

Soundtrack: Muse. I was watching them on Jools Holland and this came to me while they played the song Undisclosed Desires.

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin or Matthew Bellamy. *Sigh*

~Learn To Knock~

Merlin had a sort of syndrome that made him forget to knock on doors before entering. Sometimes this could be a good thing, for example, he could walk in on some evil sorcerer planning to kill Arthur and end up saving the day. Other times, well, it wasn't exactly fun

On a typical day, as he rushed towards Arthur's chambers, clumsily tripping over his own feet and conscious of his lateness, not that it was any different. He was always late, he'd never in his whole life been early for anything but today he was exceptionally late, Gaius having him clean out the leech tank again much to his, disgust.

Pushing through the Prince's chamber doors and raising his eyes to look around he found himself in a, ah, awkward position.

"Oops,"

His soft whisper was like a pin drop.

"Merlin!" Guinevere greeted, he cheeks flushed and quickly adjusting the strap on her dress.

Arthur detached himself from her collarbone as she pushed him away and he turned around to glare at Merlin

"Get out,"

"S-sure, sure thing, sire,"

Slowly walking away and closing the doors behind him, he stared at the walls and sat on the floor trying to get rid of certain…mental images.

Soon enough, Morgana passed him, offering him a sincere smile, but soon noticed his expression. She looked at him, then the door, then at him again. Smirking she walked towards him and pulled him up off the ground.

"I think it's maybe about time you…learn to knock."

His mouth fell open and his eyes followed her as she continued walking down the hall. Of course she'd made him look stupid, Guinevere got married to Arthur yesterday! Of course they'd spend the rest of the day, well, potentially making babies. Merlin shuddered at that thought and starting walking back to his chambers.

At least he had the day off.
