Sadly I don't own Merlin. It belongs to the BBC.
This is just a short story that I've been thinking about.
Enjoy :D
Arthur sat down at his table in his chambers and started sorting through some papers when he noticed that Merlin was still standing there. "What are you still doing here? Normally when I give you your allowance, you're out the door before I sit down."
Merlin started to shuffle about and look at his feet.
"What's up?"
Merlin looked up at Arthur. "I um, I, I was wondering if, if…"
"If what?"
"I'm a bit short with this months allowance because after paying taxes and paying for food and for putting so much aside to get me through until my next allowance, I'm a little short, so…."
"You want me to give you a bit extra?"
"If you don't mind. You can always take it of next times allowance."
Arthur slowly nodded his head and looked at Merlin. "How much are you short by?"
"Five gold coins."
"Five gold coins? Blimey Merlin, what do you need to buy?"
"I'd rather not say."
"Why not?"
"Because you'd wind me up if you knew."
Arthur chuckled. "Alright Merlin."
Merlin grinned. "Alright as in you'll give it me?"
"No. Alright as in, I will lend it you and take back so much when you get your allowance. Five gold coins is a lot for you. I will not take it all from you at once."
"Thank you Arthur."
Arthur handed Merlin five extra gold coins. Merlin took them off him and headed for the door.
"Merlin?"
Merlin stopped at the door. "Yes?"
"As your Prince I order you to tell me what you intend to buy with the extra five coins I gave you."
"No. Thanks again Arthur." Merlin said grinning as he left Arthur's chambers.
Arthur straightened his paperwork and headed for the door. "If you're not going to tell me Merlin, I'll just have to follow you." he said to himself as he left his chambers to follow Merlin.
What does Merlin want to buy?
This story will only have a couple of chapters. The next one will be longer and be up within two days.
