Day 10 – Tenth of April
"Want some coffee?"
Arthur was sitting at the kitchen table, his head buried in his hands. It was early in the morning – too early. He tried to cover his eyes from the bright kitchen light, but it seemed to pierce his skin and burn his eyelids. Merlin was holding a coffee pot in one hand and a cup in the other, ready to pour Arthur a mug. His room mate really was looking awful, but no way he was feeling sorry for him!
"Do you want some strong, hot, coffee to get rid of that horrible hang-over?"
Arthur groaned – probably a form of yes – although mostly incomprehensible – and Merlin filled the mug, put sugar and milk in it and placing it in front of Arthur. Arthur peeked through his fingers, wincing in the light, saw the mug and quickly curled his fingers around it. Cooooffeeeeee! He just knew it was going to comfort his headache immediately, and brought it to his lips.
"Wait! I have forgotten to stir!" Merlin suddenly yelled, pulling the mug out of Arthur's hands and starting to stir it with a teaspoon. Arthur groaned once more. He needed his coffee! And now! Quick! As soon as Merlin gave him back the mug, Arthur took a big sip, forgetting that it was hot. He didn't mind, though, coffee was coffee and a burnt tongue was probably better than the headache he had.
But as the liquid touched his taste buds, and Arthur's brain processed what was going on, Merlin felt sorry for not bringing an umbrella. Arthur spew out the coffee through his lips, creating a dark coloured shower, and it was aimed straight at Merlin.
Merlin never knew it was able to rain coffee, but as he was soaked with it, he remembered himself not to question anything any more.
"WHAT THE…! MERLIN?! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE COFFEE?!" Arthur yelled, one hand still over his eyes. He threw the rest of the liquid in the sink, filled his cup with water and started to rinse his mouth a couple of times.
"What are you talking about?" Merlin tried to deny. He couldn't stop smiling.
"THE SALT! WHY DID YOU PUT SALT IN MY COFFEE?!"
"I did? I am so sorry!"
Laaaaaaame.... I know, but I still wanted to write it. :)
