"Percy! You're here!" Shouted Gwaine, running out of the classroom to Percival. Percival knelt to the ground to greet him.

"Hey Gwaine, did you have a good day at school?" He got back up to greet his teacher, Miss Elena. She was a nice lady, who seemed very adventurous and strange at times. Gwaine told him that she loved horse riding and eating frog's legs and snails. She'd also tell her students about faraway lands that had princes, knights, dragons and pixies at the end of every Friday, before the weekend began.

"Gwaine didn't give you too much trouble, did he Miss Elena?" He asked taking Gwaine's hand.

"No! Not at all! He was very good." Miss Elena smiled. Gwaine tugged on Percival's hand, hinting that he wanted to go to get home quickly. "Looks like I should leave you two to it then! Bye!"

That was pretty much Percival signal to start moving out quickly, before Gwaine got angry. He had gotten the new routine of the afternoon, in the past two weeks. Well ever since he became Gwaine's babysitter that is.


It all started when Gwaine's mother had gotten a promotion at work, which required her to work longer hours for more days. She didn't want to pass up the opportunity mainly because it was good pay, which she needed because she was a single parent ever since Gwaine was age six when his Father died. Also the days weren't all over the place, like the current position she had. Meaning that she her weekends were completely free and that she had a schedule to go off so that if anything came up she could work her way around it.

Though the down side to all this was that Gwaine needed someone to take care of him in the afternoons. All strangers were out immediately because she didn't trust anyone with her child that she barely knew. It was hard finding the right babysitter because Gwaine was picky. She couldn't ask her mother because he said she was fussy and she hogs the TV all the time. Gwaine made a complaint about older girls being his babysitter, because they would just sit around on their phones and they never liked any of the things Gwaine like. Plus they'd always call him cute and try to put clips and pony tails in his medium length hair. He wasn't a baby and he was defiantly smart enough to know what they were doing.

When all hope seemed lost his mother phoned a friend who she hadn't talk to in a while (who so happened to be Percival's mother) and as they were talking, she brought up the fact that she needed a baby sitter for Gwaine. Percival's mother brought up that Percival wanted a job, but he his mother didn't like the idea because he didn't want his grades to drop or have too much stress. Then his mother asked him if he would like a job babysitting Gwaine, he thought about the payment of $20 everyday he babysat him and how much trouble he'd be, which really wasn't a lot. He just had to make sure he wasn't in danger, that he did his homework, he didn't watch too much TV or eat too much candy and that he was fed if she came back later than expected. Surely it seemed simple enough, it didn't affect his grades, he got payed for it and Gwaine wasn't a complete pain in the ass so he accepted it.

Percival met Gwaine the weekend before he was going to start his job so that they knew each other. Originally Gwaine was terrified of Percival because he was so big and mean looking and that he was only going to bully him when his mother and his own mother weren't looking. But eventually Gwaine was proved wrong and really took a liking to Percival. They also had things in common like they both loved Superheros, specifically the Avengers, they loved dogs and both liked ketchup as their favourite topping. And this was all things they really loved, not because the other said so.


Gwaine was telling Percival about his day at school with his friends. He was talking about how at lunch time they scoffed down their food so they could play Dragons, Sorcerers, Knights and Princesses. He was a knight along with Lancelot and they had to fight off the evil sorcerer who was Merlin and his pet dragon that was played by Morgana, and they had to save Gwen who was the princess. They fought for a little while until Lancelot won against Merlin but was then cooked to a crisp by Morgana's fire breath, then Gwaine stab her (not really just poked her with a stick) so that she died and then he saved Gwen and he got a kiss on the cheek, which made Lancelot jealous of him. But it was brushed off because Gwen also gave him a kiss on the cheek which made him blush and stutter like crazy.

Percival listened to him while temporary zoning out to think about homework and exams. But they shortly stoped to walk into Gwaine's house. It was a nice one story house that had three bedrooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms, a laundry, a living room and a dining room. The house was very clean considering Gwaine is old enough to put his toys away and clean up his own mess.

Once they got inside, Gwaine tossed his bag to the side and sprinted to kitchen counter. As for Percival, he shut the door than placed his bag on the shelf, along with Gwaine's bag too. After that he pulled out his pencil case and homework, and then walked into the dining room where Gwaine was eating a juicy red apple happily. After finishing it he went to get another, but was held back by a strong grip on his wrist.

"Don't you have homework to do?" Asked Percival, hinting that Gwaine should do that instead of eat apples.

"Yes but I want another apple," replied Gwaine trying to struggle free from his grip, which was failing.

"Well, why don't you do your homework first? Then you can eat your apples."

"Fine," Pouted Gwaine, going to his bag.

He pulled out his homework, then went back to the dining room and sat at the table. Percival pushed his pencil case so they could both use it. Gwaine pulled out a pencil and a rubber, and started his homework. They sat there in silence, buried in work, until Percival was asked a few maths questions and an English question. Then Gwaine proudly proclaimed he was finished and claimed his reward, and then he sat in front of the TV to watch cartoons. Percival's neck started to hurt, so he figured he should take a break and watch so TV, he figured he could do his homework later.

Gwaine was sitting on a bean bag, eating his apple whilst watching TV. The show appeared to be a story about a boy named Russell and his Scottish terrier named Gus who went beneath his bed and into a kingdom where they would explore and have adventures. It seemed pretty cool; Gwaine seemed to like it too.

After watching a little TV, Percival went back to his homework and finished it off. It wasn't too much work, besides half of the following he already did at school, just a science worksheet, some notes for geography, a paragraph in English and a few maths equations. He stretched and decided he plays his DS, which was tucked in his pencil case. Gwaine got bored with the TV and walked into the dining room to see what Percival was doing. When he saw he was playing his DS, he got his own out from his room and switched it on to start playing. The game he was playing was Nintendogs, whilst Percival played Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of Plume. Gwaine started to get really focused as he started the Agility trial with his German Sheppard named Sammy, this was the stage before the Championships, so he had to give it his all or else he'd go back and have to do the intermediate class. When then gunshot of the game went off, Gwaine carefully guided his dog with the stylist through the course and finished with the top time with no faults, meaning he had gotten first place in the Masters Class and was now moving on to the Championships. He cheered happily when his dog on the screen picked up the gold trophy and started shaking it about. Percival smiled and went on to his own game where he was currently facing off with the soldiers of Prince Kristoff castle. He quickly tapped the buttons so that he could get a finishing strike.

They played their games until they got bored, then Gwaine changed out of his uniform into some casual clothes, which was just some jeans and a fleece hoodie. By this time it was five o, clock, Gwaine's mother should be home soon. At this point, Percival didn't feel like doing anything but sit and talk to Gwaine about his at school and listen to what else Gwaine did at school.

"So, what else did you do at school today Gwaine?"

"Ummmmm. Oh yeah! In class we painted some pictures of places that the teacher showed us. I drew a place in France where there was a castle. Gwen drew a place in place in Japan, where the trees had pink leaves! Morgana drew a place Russia where it was snowy and no one lived there at all. Merlin drew a Chinese palace which had dragons on it, since he really likes dragons. Also Lancelot drew this castle in Italy, it was really big and old and dark, but it looked really cool! So what did you do at school today, ?" Asked Gwaine, ready to listen about how interesting High School is.

"Not much, we did an experiment in science and joked around in tech class. Oh I also got to play the guitar in music and I just chilled on a hill with Leon while we ate our lunch. That's about it really," replied Percival without much enthusiasm.

"Oh, well that's sounded cool, I guess," mumbled Gwaine, expecting much more than what he had been told.

Just the doorbell rang and Gwaine's mum opened the door, only to have Gwaine literally pounce on her. Percival got out of his chair and followed him to the door.

"Mom!" Shouted Gwaine as he hugged her, tightly.

"Hey, Gwaine! How's my champ been?" She responded; try to shut the door with Gwaine glued to her leg.

"Great! Percy and I had a good afternoon! I finished all my homework and ate some apples!"

"That's great! He wasn't too much of a handful, was he?" Asked Gwaine's mother, placing her belonging down on the shelf.

"No, not at all,' replied Percival as he was walking back to the dining room, to get his belongings.

"Well then, Percival, would you like to stay for dinner or do you want me to take you home now?" She asked, following him there. She needed a quick snack, so she grabbed a muesli bar.

"I'll think I'll go home, Mom needs me to take care of the place since she won't be coming back until late. Plus Pepper needs to be fed," replied Percival, going back to his bag to put his things in.

"Aright then, Gwaine I'm dropping off Percival, I'll be back soon! Don't open the door to anyone, plus I have a key!"

"Okay Mom!" Shouted Gwaine from the living room where he was watching TV.


Once they arrived at Percival's place, Percival told Gwaine's Mom that he had school soccer trials in the afternoon of this Friday. He said that he has to bring Gwaine with him and that the trial was going to be an hour long, so he should bring some spare clothes and maybe a book or some homework. He said not to worry about weirdos seducing Gwaine to go with them, because two of his friends, Elian and Leon, and their siblings (who some of were Gwaine's friends) were going to be there too. Elyan and Leon couldn't play soccer but they figured they would at least be Percival's and Arthur's cheer squad.

Gwaine's mom thought it was a great idea and said it was fine. She paid Percival his twenty dollars, then said goodbye as he got out of the car, with his bag. She then drove off; back home and then Percival went to his front door and took the key from underneath a pot that had a plant in it. He opened the door and plopped his bag to the side, then shut the door. He went into his room and changed into a comfortable t-shirt and some loose pants. He then went outside to his black Labrador named Pepper.

As soon as he closes the door, she came around the corner from the side gate and jumped on him. He pulls her off and gives her some pats, letting her inside for the night.

Today was like many other days that had past and were to come for Percival and Gwaine. But they didn't mind, it was fun having someone else to keep you company in the afternoon. Even though it wasn't going to last forever, it was at least making memories to keep when they were older.


Holy crap! That took forever! But hey it's done. Please ignore my dumb spelling errors and bad writing style. Think of it this way, I've improved my style A LOT in a year. I've tried to match up the reincarnated personalities and traits with their past selves. Elena is more based off her pixie self then her after she drank the potion. I might make a sequel or more chapters if I get enough reviews.

Just to explain the sibling thing Elyan= Gwen's older brother who is Percival's age, Arthur=Morgana's older half brother who is also Percival's age. Also in this fic, Gwaine, Merlin, Gwen, Morgana and Lancelot are about 6-8 years old and Percival, Arthur, Leon and Elyan are 14-15 years old.

Thanks for reading my fic, Love Rune-Yami 3~
