Merlin stood in front of Arthur, his eyes wide and his mind blank. Arthur wanted to do what? Merlin shook his head and leaned against the black marble counter top, his hands splayed palm wide. Arthur looked back at him as he taped his hand on the leg of the chair.

"Come on, Merlin, it would be a great prank to get back at them at. I mean imagine their faces when they find out it's all been a huge joke. Hah!"

Merlin shook his head and looked around his kitchen. He took in the stove that still had his Ramen on it in the pot, the burner long cold. The clock that ticked slowly by one second after another. He then looked to the window to see if perhaps he was indeed in some kind of strange demission or Hell. Nope, he saw he was still in the same cold, wet, England. In the same cottage that sat in the lush country side.

"Arthur you do realize what you are asking me to do, right? I mean doing this…..thing really could…people could get hurt…..insulted."

Arthur leaned back and crossed his legs, " Merlin we wouldn't be hurting anyone and no one would be insulated. The only people who would know is, well us and the others. Please, come on."

Merlin weighed the prank on his mind. Thought how it might be worth wild to see their friends faces…..plus there was no way anything would come from this. Arthur was straight as a pole and he was too. So then…" Fine. But just for a week."

"Yhea any longer," Arthur shivered and then stood up and went to the door as he grabbed his jacket. " See you later, love" Arthur smirked then left calling that he would see him tomorrow for their first step in their prank.

Merlin closed the door and ran a hand through his hair. He looked up to the picture hanging on his wall. It was taken last summer at the beach when Arthur, Lancelot, Leon, Gwaine, Gwen, Morgana, Percival, and himself had taken a vacation to the beach. He cursed his friends for their damn contest in pranks and wished they had never done what they had done last week. It would be the last time he let Gwaine and Gwen take his car out.

All right, so he was 'dating' Arthur. Great. So then…..he sighed at least he didn't have to worry about actually falling for his best friend who was a guy and straight like himself.

"well….this should be fun," he muttered. "Now then, how are we to tell the others?"
