Okay so this is what happens when I try and do something constructive with my life... I erm give up and start reading fanfiction which then made me want to write something and this little bundle of letters was born.

Disclaimer: I have never owned Merlin and probably never will

The first word that came to Merlins mind when he woke up was "shit!" the minute he saw his clock.

Looking back maybe staying up playing truth or dare with Gwen probably wasn't his best idea, considering the fact that he now had a raging headache, from where he had hit his head on the wall trying to get his t-shirt on, he was seriously late and he had just literally run into the one person he really could have gone without seeing today.

"Clumsy as ever I see, Merlin" urgh one day that was all he was asking for one stupid day without seeing Arthur bloody pendragon.

"Just one of my many gifts wouldn't you agree. Now if you don't mind I happen to be late" he retorted feeling slightly more than annoyed when as it turned out Arthur seemed to have no intention of moving from his current spot.
Which as it happened was blocking Merlin from entering the building.

"Argh seriously will you just move Arthur" with his headache rapidly developing into a migraine Merlin was losing all patience by this point.
To be honest he was surprised he'd managed to hold out this long already.
He was even more surprised when Arthur actually listened to him and moved out of his was leaving him free to get to class.

He'd planned to sneak in but his encounter with Arthur had left him dazed and confused, not to mention the brass band that seemed to have set up inside his head.
So as it was the minute he walked in the door he somehow managed to knock over several important looking experiments and let the rat out of its cage, causing mayhem and earning himself one of Gaius's famous eyebrow lifts which made Merlin feel like a naughty school boy.

All in all he thought as he scrubbed the floor of the chemistry lab it hadn't been the best start to the day.
