So sorry for the late update you guys, but i've been on vacation on ICELAND. There's not any ice there! :o OMFG! Sorry, I haven't slept well the last week. Anyway, next chapter! Note: Amor simper is love always in latin.

They had been reading for what seemed like forever, not finding any kind of spell or potion that could break the spell Merlin had put on Arthur.

"I do not understand how you were able to put such a powerful spell on Arthur without meaning to" Gaius said and he could see Merlin blushing slightly. "What exactly did you try to do?"

"Nothing" Merlin answered quickly, and glanced over at Gwen who also looked suspiciously at him. "Nothing" he repeated himself.

"Merlin, it might be easier if you told us-"

"It didn't mean to, I didn't even say a spell" Merlin said and then he saw the look Gaius gave him.

"Or I did say that one" he said and pointed at the one he had showed them earlier "But it was a heat of the moment thing and I didn't even remember knowing the spell and-" Merlin "I panicked"

Gaius sighed "You have a tendency of doing that, and it doesn't even matter if you mean it or not, when you put your mind to something, your magic works on its own"

"It wasn't as bad before" Merlin said as he flipped the page of the current book he was reading.

"You've grown stronger" Gaius assured him "So what exactly did you say?"

Merlin sighed heavily as he closed the book, apparently there was nothing there. "I had been reading in the magic book last night, right? And I must have remembered the spell in the back of my mind or something"

Gaius nodded.

"So this morning we were fighting about… It's not really important, but it was about us and then he was like; but I do love you and then I was like prove it and then he asked me how and I said something like; well, it's not going to be as easy as saying Amor Semper and then suddenly his eyes went red and then he was like this" Merlin talked so fast that Gwen and Gaius had trouble hearing what he says.

"And Amor Semper is part of the spell" Gwen said "But only a part of it"

"It must have triggered it" Gaius said "And your own magic did the rest, impressing I must say"

"Meeeerlin!" They all turned around to see a very cheery Arthur come through the door with a bouquet of newly picked flowers. Morgana was hot on his tail "I brought you something"

"I can see that" Merlin said and got up from his chair and took the flowers out of Arthur's hand "Thank you"

"Don't worry, I told everyone that I was just carrying the flowers for Morgana" Arthur said and glanced over at Morgana, Merlin questioned the fact that anyone would believe that, but at least he was trying. "I've missed you so much during practice, I took quite the fall, all I could think about was spending the rest of my life with you"

"Are you alright?" Merlin asked.

Arthur took Merlin's hand (the one who wasn't currently holding on to the flowers) "As long as I'm with you, I am magnificent"

"Great" Merlin said for the tenth time that day. "What are you doing here?" he asked Morgana.

"When I saw the flowers I just knew that I didn't want to miss this" she said with a smile.

"You are always so generous, my lady" said Gwen and Morgana smirked.

"Do you need me for anything, sire- Arthur-my eh… Love?" Merlin tried and failed miserably to act like he was comfortable with the situation, the girls found this extremely funny.

"Actually I need your assistance in my chambers" Arthur said and wiggled his eyesbrows, and both Morgana and Gwen had to actually cover their mouths with their hands so they wouldn't burst out laughing.

And Merlin didn't know who was more embarrassed, him or Gaius. But the answer was quickly answered when Arthur said "Meaning sex"

"Thank you very much, I know what it means!" Merlin all but shouted and gave the flowers to Gaius "Find some water for these, please" he begged.

"Gladly" Gaius said and took the flowers and went to find something to put them in.

Merlin just wanted to find a hole to crawl into and not come back until Arthur was back to his old self and the girls and Gaius had forgot this had ever happened.

"I can't… Assist you right now" Merlin said and shot a dirty look over his shoulder to the girls who was still whispering and laughing quietly "I'm helping Gaius with something, magic stuff"

Arthur looked confused at first before walking over to the table where all the books were splayed out on the table. He started reading and then his eyes widened and he looked back at Merlin.

"Arthur-"

"Are you still on about that love spell?" Arthur said, it was more like a statement than an question, but still.

"Arthur-" Merlin tried again.

"No, I will not have it! I love you, we belong together, can you not see that?" He shouted and even Morgana stopped laughing.

"Arthur, quiet down" she said.

"I will not quiet down, the man who I plan to marry does not believe that I love him"

"I do!"

"Then why are you so convinced that I am under a spell!" he started to sound really mad now "You do not want to marry me, you lied to me"

"No, Arthur…" Merlin couldn't say anything else, everything was a big mess of confusion.

"What is the point?" Arthur murmured as he looked down at the floor, his eyes were glistening with tears, and then he suddenly walked right past and was heading towards the door.

"Arthur, don't go!" Merlin yelled after him, but Arthur was gone.

"Merlin, you have to go after him!" Gaius said worried, and Merlin nodded.

"Keep looking, and please find something!" he said, as he followed Arthur.

He asked several maids and guards if they'd seen Arthur, and most of them had seen the prince walking over the courtyard. When Merlin got outside, he first checked the stables, hoping that the Arthur's horse wasn't missing.

"Oh, no" He said to himself when he saw that the prince's horse in fact was gone. "Arthur…"

Sorry for the serious chapter you guys, but it's my story! X)
