Hello, Merlin fans! I'm back with a story that came to me while eating grapes on the sofa. It has nothing to do with grapes, don't worry! It's a little oneshot, here for you to enjoy! (And review if you want to!)
I'm not abandoning my other stories...there have been technical difficulties...so don't kill me!
Disclaimer: I don't currently own Colin Mor- I mean, Eoin Ma- no, I mean Merlin! *blushes* Though one day...*evil laugh*
"No! Arthur, I..."
"I thought you were my friend."
"I..."
"You betrayed me! You've hidden this for years! I thought I could trust you!"
"Bu-"
"Merlin, stop. You...I can't believe it. Why?" Arthur hissed. Fury swam in his eyes like dark fire. Merlin was particularly pale. He gulped.
"Arthur, I..."
"Don't say you wanted to tell me! I can't-"
"Sire, stop!" Lancelot barged into the room, nearly as pale as Merlin and sweating. "I knew..."
Arthur gave them both a death glare that could've rivalled Morgana's. Merlin looked as though he was about to collapse. Lancelot shut up immediately.
"You told him before me." It was a question.
Merlin nodded silently. "But..."
"YOU TOLD HIM BEFORE ME!"
"Arthur, I didn't mean for him to find out! I swear...I promise you..."
Arthur buried his face in his hands. Gwaine looked bored. He chewed on an apple, carefree. Arthur caught him.
"I suppose you knew too," the blonde snarled. Gwaine shrugged.
"No, actually. But it's rather funny if you think about it."
Arthur looked like a storm. He began to hyperventilate. "There is NOTHING funny about this, Sir Gwaine!" Arthur stood up glaring daggers at poor Merlin.
"I don't understand how you could keep this from me!"
"Gods, calm down Arthur!"
That didn't help. Gaius - who had been very quiet in the corner - stepped out.
"Sire, if I may..."
"You knew too!"
"I have always known, my lord. It wasn't Merlin's fault."
"What are you implying?!"
Meanwhile, outside, Gwen huffed. The whole thing seemed fairly ridiculous. It wasn't Merlin's fault at all. He had been dying, after all.
On seeing her (and hearing the raised voices of an angry king) Percival walked over.
"What's going on?"
Gwen sighed, looking up at the knight with half-amused eyes.
"Arthur just found out I kissed Merlin before him."
Hope you enjoyed it! ;)
