I was looking through the crossovers and there werent any for just Merlin and Loki and I thought that they would be perfect together! (Not like that)
I own none of the named characters
"Merlin, what have you done this time?" Gaius asked Merlin, who was covered in rotten fruit. Again. "I had to cover for Arthur." Again. The old physician sighed. Merlin just did not know when to say no to the prince.
"Why did he skip today? Another pretty maiden?" He laughed and handed the boy a towel. "Nope. No clue. Just told me to cover for him." Merlin stated with a lopsided grin and began to wash his face. "Why do you keep doing this, Merlin? You are going to get into serious trouble someday." Gaius was generally worried. "I'm his servant, I have to." Merlin finished washing and went in his room to change his tunic.
He came out to find Gaius waiting for him, a vile in hand. Merlin gave the physician a puzzled look. "It is for lady Morgana. For her sleep. The poor soul." Gaius handed it to the boy. Merlin nodded, and headed for the ward's chambers.
Merlin rounded a corner, and nearly crashed into Gwen.
"Oh, hello, Gwen. Sorry. About that." He stammered. "It is quite alright, Merlin. Where are you off to?" She asked. "This. Is for Morgana. From Gaius." He handed the vial to Morgana's maid. "Thank you. I will make sure she gets it. Have you seen Arthur at all?" "No. Not since morning when he left." Merlin shook his head. "I do hope he's alright." Gwen looked worriedly out the window. "Oh, he'll be fine. Its Arthur." Merlin winked. "Yes, I suppose. Goodbye, Merlin." She smiled and continued on her way.
With now nothing to do, Merlin decided to stroll around the marketplace. There wasn't anything exciting there, either. He next chose to go the forest; Gaius had previously mentioned that he needed toadstool.
Wandering through the forest, Merlin thought he heard something. He increased his speed. "Hello?" He called. "Help, quickly!" A young voice said. Merlin ran to catch up.
There, against a tree trunk, lay Arthur, unconscious, with someone kneeling down at his side.
"What happened?" He asked the boy. "I, I do not know. I was walking, he was lying here, and I knew something was wrong. I couldn't leave him here, I didn't know what to do." He looked up at Merlin with tear-filled eyes.
"Okay, good job for finding him. Lets see what I can do. Can you get some water for me?" Merlin asked the boy. He nodded and ran off.
Merlin waited until the boy was out of earshot, then he raised his hand and placed it over Arthur's chest. His aqua eyes glowed fiery orange, and a pulse of light shot into Arthur's chest.
The prince's eyes shot open. He lay there; breathing hard and fast, eyes darting around, hand on sword hilt. Arthur's wide, sky blue eyes met Merlin's concerned, sea-blue ones. "What happened?" He asked and began to sit up. "Whoa. Easy there." Merlin placed a restraining hand on the prince's shoulder. "I was walking in the woods and I heard a boy calling for help. I came here and you were unconscious, with the boy by your side."
Arthur looked confused, more than normal. "Where is he now?" "The boy? I sent him to get water whilst I revived you." Merlin stated with a grin.
"Well, help me up. I need to get back to the castle." Merlin nodded and pulled him up. Arthur winced as he stepped with his left foot, nearly falling. "I gotcha." Merlin draped Arthur's arm around his neck and helped him walk.
As they were making their way back, Merlin shot glances around the forest, trying to find the boy, to no avail.
"What now, Merlin?" Gaius sighed as the duo stepped inside. He led the stumbling Arthur to a bed, and then faced the old physician. "I was walking around, and came across Arthur, unconscious." Arthur was now fast asleep. Merlin took a step closer to Gaius. "I used magic to revive him. A bolt through his heart." Gaius quickly looked up. "That would mean his heart had stopped. He would have been dead." "See? Magic isn't that bad." He replied. "Yes, I suppose so." He busied himself tending to Arthur's ankle, and whatever else that needed tending to.
"How did this happen?" Gaius asked the boy. "I don't know. I just found him like this." "I guess we'll ask him in the morning." Gaius looked at the dark sky. "Goodnight, Gaius." He nodded and went up to his room.
Merlin quietly closed his door facing, then turned towards his bed.
Sitting on his bed, was the boy from this afternoon. They stared at each other for several minutes, Merlin in awe. In the candlelight, he could finally really look at the boy.
Pale complexion, slicked back inky hair, and emerald eyes that sparkled in the firelight. Small, probably to Merlin's waist. He was sitting on the bed, looking at Merlin with a cocked head.
"I saw you." He said. "Um, excuse me?" Merlin whispered back. "I saw you today." He stated. "I did too. We spoke." Merlin was confused. "No. Not just that. I saw you do magic, Emrys."
Sorry for the long time between any of my postings. I've been on a family vacation abroad with no wifi for nearly a month. Im glad to be back at a computer with a real keyboard.
