Hey girls and guys. A Christmas story huh? Yeah, I wanted to join in with the season stuff so I want to write a Merlin Christmas. It's going to have lots of brotherly love in this story. Yes. No slash. Just brotherly love! This is also so I can say, to everyone who has read my stories, had reviewed to my stories, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and to have a happy new year. (me crying now haha) I have made so many friends on this site, and to be honest, once I came on it at the start of the year I have never been off. I'm on this site all the time, fanfiction has become a big part of me now.
Just saying, LunaShadowWolf13, HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS! Haha.
This will be a 2 shot because after Christmas you always get New Year? :P I will be writing one for New Year…and someone will be having a special Birthday! Yay! Right, on with the fic!
Festive Seasons
Merlin ran though the fully decorated corridors. He loved this time of year. The snow, the smell of season spices drifting from the kitchens, and basically the mood everyone seemed to be in. No one was hurt; no one was attacking Camelot (thank you Morgana for not attacking Camelot!). Everything was ready for the big day tomorrow.
Tomorrow held the big feast that had carried on to Arthur's reign from his father's reign. It was a huge thing because this year Gwen was sitting at the table, next to Arthur. Everyone adored Gwen, they loved her and they all knew she was going to be Queen, and they didn't mind!
ARTHUR
"Gaius have you seen that useless servant anywhere?" Arthur groaned as he stormed into Gaius chambers. He looked around, finding no one in. Huffing, he strode towards Merlin's room, only stopping to look at the table. A book had caught his eye. It was full of foreign language…meaning…no. He picked up the book. He felt betrayed, lied to. He felt anger for befriending a sorcerer, who could be killing him.
"Arthur?" Gaius called from behind him. He turned around, holding the book. Gaius' eyes went wide with shock and fear.
"This is…Merlin's." Arthur said slowly.
"How do you know it's not mine?" Gaius asked.
"Merlin's name is on this." Arthur said. He began to storm off to find his servant, but was stopped by Gaius.
"At least wait and see if you want to arrest him after I have told you what he's done." Gaius' harsh tone filled his mind, making him freeze as he was about to step out of the door.
"What has he done? Try to kill me? Try to take over Camelot? Sided with Morgana?" Arthur spat.
"Of course not, you foolish boy!" Gaius shouted. "He's saved your life every day for the past four years! He's helped save Camelot on many occasions and doesn't need to join alliances with other magic users." Gaius shouted in a hurry.
"Then you better down and explain what he's done." Arthur glared.
"And you better sit down because it's a very long story!" Gaius shot back.
"Fair enough." Arthur said, sitting down on a stool as he waited for Gaius to put his things away.
MERLIN
Merlin wandered through the castle corridors, finishing off hanging banners and decorations on the pillars. The smell of cinnamon and bread drifted through the air, as the last of the sunrays went off the horizon. He smiled. Tomorrow would be a good day.
"There he is." Came a gruff voice. Merlin turned around to see who they were talking about, only to find two guards walking towards him. "King Arthur would like us to escort you to his chambers."
"Why?" Merlin asked.
"He didn't say. He just said to bring you immediately." The guard shrugged. Merlin nodded and walked with guards towards the King's chambers.
There was no sound inside Arthur's chambers, which meant, if he was in there, he was furious, or if he wasn't in there…well he wasn't in there. Merlin took a deep breath, slightly wondering what he had done now. He pushed the door open and, as predicted, Arthur was standing by his desk, watching the door.
"Ah, Merlin. I was wondering when you would show up." Arthur said as he began to move around the room. Merlin watched him as he turned behind his desk and came out with a parcel.
"Catch this." Arthur said, throwing a heavily wrapped parcel towards Merlin. Merlin caught it and grunted with the weight.
"What is this?" Merlin laughed. Arthur rolled his eyes and stepped behind his screen.
"Well it's Christmas, why don't you open it and find out?"
ARTHUR
Arthur went behind his screen to get ready for bed. He smirked, hearing the careful tears of the wrapping paper scrunching, until it stopped. He heard a quiet gasp of shock and almost burst out laughing.
"Well, do you like it?" Arthur asked. There was no reply, no sound for several seconds until he heard the heavy thud. Thinking Merlin had dropped the present, he looked out of his screen, only to laugh when he saw his servant in a heap on the floor, the book of spells open in his hands.
"Typical Merlin. Happy Christmas." Arthur laughed.
