Enjoy!
Merlin opened his eyes to an extremely bright light, making the headache he already felt ten times worse. He tried to sit up but it felt like a weight was sitting on his chest. He tried to take a deep breath, but couldn't. Before he knew it his whole frame was shacking from the wracking coughs. But no matter how hard he tried to stop he couldn't. Great, just great.
Finally, he was able to cease the cough, just as Gaius walked through the door. "Merlin! What on earth are you doing in here? It sounds like a dog's barking!" Only after he said this did he notice that Merlin's skin was sickly pale, black bags hung under his eyes, and sweat soaked his shirt. "Merlin? Are you feeling well?"
"I feel great! Just….peachy." Gaius frowned at the sarcasm. Walking over he put his hand against his ward's brow. He was burning up like a fire.
"Looks like you won't be able to work today." Merlin looked horrified.
"NO! I have to go! Arthur will kill me, he has court to-" He broke off, hacking and coughing.
"Like hell, your going. You will stay here, and I'll talk to Arthur." Merlin nodded, not that he could speak anyway. Arthur will be pissed.
