I own nothing

Merlin spent the rest of his day sitting by Arthur's bedside and getting him what he needs. He worried constantly about doing a good job. The next day was probably going to be as bad today. He was wrong. It was going to be worst.

"Hey, Arthur," greeted Merlin, opening the door slowly, "How are you feeling?"

Arthur sat up angrily and glared at him.

"You were suppose to wake me up an hour ago," shouted Arthur, throwing a pillow at Merlin.

"Glad to see you're feeling better," said Merlin, with a smile, dodging the pillow, and going over to the bed, "Maybe I can get Gaius to let you get up early."

"Gaius has no say on what time I get up," said Arthur, pushing off his covers and trying to get out of bed.

Merlin quickly pushed Arthur back into his bed, which caused Arthur to get even more angry.

"You dare push me!" shouted Arthur, "I could have you in the stocks for this!"

"Your father and Gaius told me to keep you in bed and take care of you," Merlin explained, "If I don't, it's the stocks for me for 2 months."

Arthur huffed and started to pout.

"Get my father and Gaius right now Merlin!" shouted Arthur.

Merlin rushed out before the prince decided to throw something at him. He returned quickly with Gaius and Uther in hand.

"Here they are, as you requested," said Merlin moving out of the way.

"I'm glad you're feeling better my son but as Gaius told you yesterday, you have to stay in bed until you get over the flu," said Uther, as Gaius gave him a quick look over, "You are to rest until the week is up."

"A week?" screeched Arthur, "I don't want to be in bed for a week!"

"Sorry my prince," Gaius apologized, "You're just going to have to let the virus take it's course."

"Father," Arthur protested.

"You heard Gaius, Arthur," Uther told him sternly, "Rest is what you need and you're not going to get out of this, Arthur Pendragon."

Then Uther left, leaving a shock Arthur in his wake. Merlin snorted while Gaius gave him a glare.

"What just happened?" Arthur asked, shocked.

"You just got your first scolding," said Merlin patting Arthur's back, "Congrats."

Arthur shot a glare at Merlin. Gaius sighed and shook his head.

This day will a REALLY long day.
