A/N

This is my first plotty Merlin fanfic and was based on a really fluffy dream I had last night! (yeah, my dreams are out there sometimes.) There will be ArthurxMerlin and even *gasps* Mpreg! Dun-dun-dun! Sorry if you don't like those things!

"AHAHAHAHAH! Today will be your last day Arthur Pendragon!" the young man cried, raising his hands above his head.
"Are you mad!?" Arthur asked, drawing his sword, but didn't seem the least bit threaten. The mystery man didn't like that, his triumph grin slowly melted into a frown. in reply, the mans hands started to glow with a warm white light. Arthur's eyes widened.
"Magic!?"
"Arthur!" Merlin skidded to a halt, taking in the scene before leaping into action. Just before the burning ray slammed into the king, Merlin jumped into the way. The only thing Merlin remembered before passing out was the burning pain in his chest and the sound of Arthur screaming.

Merlin groaned, his head was throbbing as he slowly came too.
"Merlin. . .Merlin!" He heard someone calling his name. Merlin took a deep breath in, head rolling to the side as he fought for his consciousness. As his senses slowly came to, He could tell he couldn't be back laying on his own bed. Things seemed to feel a lot more softer, and smelled a little less.
"give him a moment sire. . .I don't know what spell was used, but it was a strong one." he recognized that voice.
"G-Gaius?" Merlin asked, voice cracking as he opened his eyes. He was in Arthur's Chamber! Merlins eyes glanced around the room, taking in the rich, red curtains and the plush bed sheets tucked around him.
"I'll get him some water. . ." the second voice was Arthur's. Merlin sat up a bit. Gaius came forward.
"You need your rest Mer-"
"Are you alright Arthur?" Merlin asked and the king turned back with goblet of water.
"I am. . .thanks to you Merlin." Arthur explained, taking a seat at the foot of his bed and handing Merlin the water. Merlin blinked, looking down at the liquid, and then back up at Arthur. Suddenly, Merlin decided Arthur's lips looked more inviting. He leaned forward and pressed his lips to his. Arthur's eyes widened, he wasn't sure how to respond in front of Gaius. It was true he had feelings for his manservant, and they were returned. though as of yet they have barely acted upon them. Gaius's eyes threatened the pop out of his head. Arthur prayed in the candle light his cheeks didn't appear as red as he put a hesitant hand on Merlin's shoulder, pushing him back and away gently. Merlin seemed to be in some of daze.
"U-uhm. . ." Arthur really had no idea what just happened. The one idea he did have was to leave them alone. Gaius muttered about returning back to his own chambers and that they could call if Merlin started to feel weak again and left the room with haste, shutting the door behind him with a soft click. both men sat in silence for a moment. Arthur turned his head back to Merlin. "Merlin what-"
"I like you." Merlin blurted, leaning forward again and wrapping his arms around Arthur, bringing him close. "a lot. . ." He whispered quietly in Arthur's ear. Arthur stopped his awkward squirming.
"I. . .I thought I lost you today Merlin. . ." He said after a moment of silence, bringing his arms up and wrapping them around the smaller man. They stayed like that for a few warm moments, until Merlin started to softly send gentel kisses down his neck. "Merlin. . ." Arthur warned half heartily. Merlin parted from him.
"I want to be with you Arthur. . .please." He said softly, lancing their hands together. Arthur looked down at their hands, and then back up at Merlin's mostly pale face.
"Oh Merlin. . ." Arthur sighed, leaning forward and capturing Merlin's lips once more, Merlin returning the action ten fold.
