Next chapter. Yay! Sorry if it's still kind of short, but it should start to get longer. I'm still writing most of this out. The action and horrory stuff is going to happen in the next chapter. Thanks for the follows. 2 followers already. :) Makes me happy. I like reviews too. I like to know what's going on in the minds of my lovely readers.
When they got to the council room, everyone was already seated and settled. Arthur slowly led Merlin over to his chair, to the left of Arthur' and helped him to be seated. Once Arthur himself sat down, the council began their ranting about trivial problems about the boring matters of the kingdom. Arthur knew Merlin got tired of hearing this, not that Arthur himself didn't either, but he tried to pay attention anyways. After an hour of talking and arguing, the council bid Arthur and Merlin a good day and proceeded to exit the room. When Arthur looked over at Merlin, all he could do was smile. Merlin' elbow was on the table, while his chin rested on his hand. Merlin had fallen asleep. Although Arthur didn't want to, he knew he had to wake Merlin up.
"Merlin. Merlin, my love. You have to wake up," Arthur quietly said, while slightly nudging Merlin awake.
"Don..wa..na," Merlin slurred.
"The council has already left and I need to get you back to our room before Gaius finds out we disobeyed his orders. You can sleep some more there."
Merlin seemed to snap awake at once after hearing he'd slept through the meeting.
"What! The meetings over? I slept through it all! That's so embarrassing. Did I miss anything important?" Merlin rushed in a panic.
"Whoa there. Slow down. Everything's fine. I don't think anybody noticed and even if they did, they would understand why. And no, you didn't miss anything important. It was the same boring stuff they argue about each week. You managed to escape it while I, on the other hand, was not so fortunate," Arthur joked.
Merlin just smiled sheepishly in response.
Arthur stood from his chair and proceeded to help Merlin up.
"Alright my love. Let's get you to bed."
"But I'm not tired," Merlin weakly protested.
A yawn escaped his mouth and Arthur smiled.
"I'm sure your not, but you promised me that if you got to go to the meeting, you'd go back to our room to rest. You don't want me to send Gaius after you do you."
"Fine," Merlin mumbled.
