MERLIN FANS UNITED

Chapter 14: Arthur's Spoon of Impending Doom

Three weeks after the dagger incident

Merlin's POV:

As I walked towards the prats chambers, the sun started to peak out from below the horizon. It sent colorful rays of light dancing across the clear early morning sky. The rays of beauty reflected of everything making it all shimmer, it looked like some kind of God had touched the city with magic. The trees shined with morning dew, birds were twittering above me and the air was crisp with post summer freshness.

Unfortunately he had to go and wake Arthur, oh well it's worth it. I walked up the steps to the corridor his chambers are on. When I reached the door, and slipped inside noiselessly. Tip toeing to the curtains, then flinging them out shouting "Rise and Shine!"

Arthur stared at me with a disgruntled look on his face "Can't you think of anything different to say?"

I glanced at him "What?"

He sighed "Every morning it's the same."

"Oh, well how 'bout...; 'shake a leg', 'up an at'em' or 'LET'S HAVE YOU lazy...daisy" I trailed off because of the look on Arthur's face.

"You don't like any of them do you?"

Arthur shook his head, his face remained impassive and he reached over to grab something.

I hurried to the door knowing full well what was about to happen. "I'm going to go before you do something you regret". The pot came hurling towards me, I ducked. SMASH! So after that I did the brave thing and ran.

****TIME SKIP****TRAINING GROUNDS****

CLANG...SMASH...BANG...CLASH... "OW!"...

"God Merlin, even Morgana fights better than you!"Arthur teased, putting a hand out to help me of the floor.

"Yeah well I beat she doesn't have a Clotpole swinging at her when she fights". I grabbed Arthur's hand and he hauled me up. "Let's start again shall we? And this time, Merlin, try not to end up on the floor."

"SHIELD...BODY...SHIELD..." Another voice was layered over Arthur's; a deep gruff voice took over my mind. "Merlin...Merlin...MERLIN". It was calling me, suddenly it left and I heard Arthur's again "SHIELD...HEAD" Wait...HEAD!

"OOMPH...OW that really hurts" I exclaimed. Arthur growled in frustration and walked over to the other knights, leaving me to pick up everything he left behind.

"Oh I'll just carry all this back by myself then" I shouted after Arthur. He turned and smiled "Yes Merlin you will because that it your job." Then he continued to walk away.

Muttering curses under my breath, reluctantly I followed him to the edge of the training field.

"Hey Merlin, how was your first training session with Arthur?" Gwaine asked walking up to him.

"Can you hear clanging?" I asked in response. Gwaine just laughed and headed towards the armory.

"MERLIN" Arthur shouted.

"I'm coming, Sire".

******TIME SKIP*****DINNER IN ARTHUR'S CHAMBERS*****

I stood behind Arthur as he at his dinner prattling on about the boring tax meeting he was in early.

Then the gruff voice from early started in my head again, getting louder and louder every time.

"Merlin...Merlin...MERLIN...MERLIN"

I had to resist the urge to wince at the noise. I must be going insane.

"Merlin...Merlin are you listening to me?" I blinked then realised that that was Arthur's voice.

"Sorry...What?" I answered still in a daze.

"Stop daydreaming like a girl and listen. What do you think about Gwen?" He replied with obvious annoyance.

"Oh...erm...she's nice and polite, she's pretty, and she doesn't let anything stand in her way. She's smart but not annoyingly smart, also she's kind. Last of all she is as brave as any knight when it comes to protecting her friends. Why did you ask?" I answered with a grin.

Arthur turned to me "That was very deep Merlin, very deep..." He trailed off. "I was just curious."

I raised my eyebrows in a silent 'Oh yeah'. Embarrassment crossed his face.

"Shut up".

"I didn't say anything about how you 'like' Gwen".

"Merlin, I don't 'like' Gwen" he replied.

I frowned at him before saying. "Sure you don't Arthur. Is there anything else you need, Sire?"

"No you may go. Oh and Merlin, he stood up spoon in hand, if you tell anyone I asked you about Gwen I will make you regret it". He was waving his spoon at me like it was some sort of weapon; I bit my lip to stop myself laughing.

"You're threatening me with a spoon?" I asked incredulously.

He leaned forward and hit me really hard on the nose with it.

"OW! What was that for?" I backed away from him so he couldn't hit me with his 'Spoon of Impending Doom'.

"That" he said "was for not taking my threat seriously. Now go away and don't breathe a word of this to anyone".

"What do I do if they ask me why I have a massive bruise on my nose?" I said walking towards the door.

He grabbed a pot chucked it at me shouting "MERLIN GET OUT". I ducked and ran out the door to hear a smashing sound coming from the other side. Few.

I made my way back to Gaius' chambers and grabbed a jar with some bruise ointment in it. Then I went into my room and promptly fell asleep.

that's the chapter done once again thanks to all my friends

AngleofDusk helped inspire this chapter even if they didn't realize they did.
