Author's Note: Reviews are appreciated and loved :) Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin.
Ahh! A cookie for reviewers and everyone who has read thus far. Today is my last final! (And it's only monday!) So I will start you off with a silly little drabble. Good luck to anyone else going through finals right now.
Prompt: Spineless. In which Gwaine tells Lancelot to man up.
7. Spineless:
"You, my spineless friend, need to stand up to Arthur and tell him to back off of your woman," Gwaine said, breaking the silence as they rode toward Camelot.
"I did not ask for your advice," Lancelot said with a sigh.
"Well I'm just saying," he muttered unabashedly. "You're in love with her, she's in love with you… his Royal Princessness is poking around where he doesn't belong."
Lancelot frowned but refused to respond. He was not getting into this with anyone, least of all Gwaine. Gwaine opened his mouth to argue the point further, but Merlin interrupted him.
"You know Gwaine," Merlin said from behind them, "you are such a sentimentalist at heart. No one would believe me if they'd just met you, but that's what you are, a big softie."
"I am not," Gwaine snapped, sounding truly affronted.
He then proceeded to explain to them all of the ways in which he was not a 'softie'.
Lancelot tossed a grateful smile over his shoulder at Merlin.
