I haven`t updated in a while…sorry. I know I`m supposed to have a lot of time to make frequent updates but…I guess if you check my profile you will find out what I have been doing but anyways…

It`s just that once you start writing One-Shots you can`t stop. It consumes you and takes control of your mind!

Disclaimer: Sincerely I`m sick of writing them for each chapter but, here we go again…(tough I forgot to do so in one of the chapters…) I do not own Merlin or any of the characters tough I might add a few background characters made up by me without much personality so yeah OC`s

And this, this is what he got for not following Arthur`s moves closely.

Since the left school and entered Arthurs house the only things he had said had been. "Don`t touch that. Don`t go there. Don`t eat that. In fact don`t do anything, you are capable of bringing this place down in a matter of seconds."

He couldn`t really argue with that and even though he wanted to say something about it because, no-one, not even him; was that clumsy. But, by the time he was going to protest Arthur was nowhere to be found.

Well wasn`t everything just great he was in the middle of a gigantic hall with a bunch of doors he couldn`t open not knowing where to turn. "Way to go Merlin…" He murmured under his breath to himself annoyed at Arthur for leaving him behind. He had probably done this on purpose. Yeah sure he didn`t wanted to be there just as much as Arthur didn`t want him there but he didn't really have a choice in the matter now did he?

As Merlin looked around in each turn he felt even more lost in the ridiculously big house than in the last one. He would have magic himself back to Arthur but knowing it wasn't option considering this was Uther`s house he didn`t even considered it as one.

"Arthur." Morgana called him in a warning tone as she stomped herself into his room. Looking away from the TV he turned at her putting it in mute. "To what do I own this pleasure?" He said raising an eyebrow in question.

"You know very well why I`m here." She hissed at him. "I was walking to the kitchen and guess who I found in there?"

"Who?"

"Merlin, Merlin was in there. I don`t know what kind of game you are trying to pull here but you better go down there and apologize!" She scowled at him and turned to leave throwing the door behind her.

Why does everyone care so much about Merlin? Everywhere he goes someone is talking about him. They all think 'Oh, his so brave to save Arthur like that.' or 'doesn't he look hot in black?' or 'He has guts to stand up to them like that.' or 'his so mysterious.' Even Morgana! Yeah he may not be close to anyone or have much friends but everyone seems to love the guy and he has only been in the university; what one week?!

Knowing he didn`t really have an option he sighed in frustration and went down to the kitchen to 'apologize.'

~000000000~

"I`m sorry…" Arthur spat out when he sat across from Merlin. "What, did Morgana tell you to say that?" Arthur didn't answer to that. "Don`t bother I just want to go home, how do I get out?" Merlin asked as he took his things to leave.

"Look I`m-" Arthur tried to mend. "No, listen-you." Merlin pocked at him in the chest. "I actually tough you had gone over your weird ritual of hatred over me. But apparently not. I really don`t know what I have done to make you hate me except almost running over you with a car. Oh no wait that was you." He spat sarcastically and glared at Arthur.

"If you are expecting me to be grateful to you for 'saving me' then you are wasting your time and breath." He gritted through his teeth. "I`m not expecting anything, Arthur" He spitted out the name. "That would be very stupid of me actually. I would never expect for a spoiled child like you to be grateful at all."

Arthur looked at Merlin incredulously before he said: "Then why are you here?" Merlin frowned at him and made a 'I think that`s obvious' kind of face at Arthur. Then he sighed and said: "Look, I don`t expect you to understand this but I need the job. Trust me, I do not want to be here anymore than you want me to but-

"The thing is Merlin," Arthur cut him off. "that I do not need help in any of my subjects because I`m-

"Yeah, yeah I know you are excellent in all of them. Oh, but wait! What might this be?" Merlin said in a sarcastic tone raising an eyebrow at Arthur. Arthur`s eyes widened at the paper Merlin took from the table beside him.

"Where did you got that from." Arthur asked in a wary tone.

Merlin ignored the question and started reading: "English: A, Spanish and French: A," Merlin trailed his fingers all the way down to the paper as he read them and then "You seem to have great notes Arthur. Oh, but wait! What a pity…" He faked a sad face. "Math: D."

Arthur snatched the paper from Merlin's hands and shouted. "You have no right to see this!"

"Actually Arthur I do. Your father gave this to me so I could help you in whatever subject you are failing. And it seems to be Math is that certain subject." Merlin said nonchalantly.
