AN: I know the most famous song from 'Beauty and the Beast' is 'Tale as old as time' but I think this song captures the relationship between Belle and the Beast better. They're both slowly becoming aware of their changing feelings and I thought it fitted Arthur and Gwen better than the other one. As per usual, any suggestions fire them my way.

Gwen was sitting by the window of Morgana's chambers. She was supposed to be repairing the dress Morgana had torn yesterday but instead Gwen kept glancing out the window. Arthur and Merlin were walking across the courtyard and she couldn't stop looking at Arthur. Not too long ago she wasn't exactly fond of the prince; personally she believed he was a spoilt arrogant brat. Yet recent events; when he was bitten by the Questing Beast; when he stayed with her while pretending to be Sir William' the whole fiasco with Hengist and Lancelot had meant that the servant was beginning to see the prince in a different light. It was strange yet somehow felt right. Turning her gaze back to her work; Gwen began singing under her breath yet kept stealing glances out the window.

"There's something sweet

And almost kind

But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined.

And now he's dear

And so I'm sure

I wonder why I didn't see it there before." Gwen sang to herself as she glanced out the window.

As she looked; she met Arthur's gaze and they looked at one another for a few seconds before Gwen looked away and Arthur smiled to himself. While he had known Gwen for a number of years now; it was only recently that he really started to see her. If you catch his drift. Arthur began singing to himself; ignoring the grin unfurling on Merlin's face. Merlin knew it. He knew there was something going on between Arthur and Gwen.

"She glanced this way

I'm sure of that

Even though around her I've been a total prat." Arthur sang but he trailed off. He ws the prince and princes were expected to fall in love with princesses or in the least, ladies. Not servants. Uther would lose his mind if he ever found out his son was beginning to fall for a servant!

"No it can't be

I'll just ignore

But then she's never looked at me that way before." Arthur continued before noticing the annoying knowing grin on Merlin's face and proceeding to smack him upside the head.

Gwen meanwhile had returned to her sewing, trying to focus on her work and ignoring the way Arthur kept dominating her thoughts and how handsome and funny he could be. Not to mention the fact he was a good kisser… Gwen shook her head and stole another glance out the window. Just as she looked Arthur was smacking a grinning Merlin on the back of the head. Gwen rolled her eyes with a smile and kept working.

"New and a bit alarming

Who'd have ever thought that this could be?

True that he's no Prince Charming

But there's something in him that I simply didn't see."

Later that afternoon Gwen and Morgana came across Arthur and Merlin as they were walking down to the great hall after being summoned by Uther. Probably to receive yet another lecture on the dangers of magic or whatever Uther tended to rant about. For a moment they stood in the corridor awkwardly before Arthur cleared his throat.

"Um Guinevere, I need to talk to you about something important." Arthur said, attempting to remain clam but a blush was slowly making its way up his way.

"What about sire?" Gwen replied.

"It's private and it concerns Sir William." Arthur replied and gestured for Gwen to follow him. As they walked away he looked over his shoulder at a smiling Morgana and Merlin. He gave them a look that told them to keep quiet. As soon as they'd gone Morgana and Merlin turned to one another.

"Well, who'd have thought?" Morgana muttered.

"Well, bless my soul." Merlin commented shaking his head. Arthur had it bad.

"Well, who'd have known?" Morgana honestly was quite stunned. In all the time she'd known Gwen; she would have never suspected that Gwen would fall for Arthur of all people.

"Well, who indeed?" Merlin replied. He'd had his suspicions naturally but never really bothered to look into it that deeply.

"And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?" Morgana added.

"It's so peculiar." Merlin agreed. Maybe Gwen had sustained a head injury that made her think Arthur would be a good person to fall for. He was kidding; if Gwen made Arthur happy and stopped him from bossing Merlin around so much; then it was fine with him.

"We'll wait and see

A few days more

There may be something there that wasn't there before." Merlin and Morgana harmonised before looking at one another and creeping off to follow Arthur and Gwen. They didn't have too far to look. In an alcove down the corridor where anyone could see (I.E. Morgana and Merlin) Arthur and Gwen had their arms wrapped around one another sharing a private kiss. Morgana and Merlin crept back and grinned at one another.

"You know, I think there's something there that wasn't there before." Morgana sang with the air of someone stating the obvious to the stupid.

"There's definitely something there that wasn't there before." Merlin nodded as he realised that Arthur's growing feelings for Gwen meant that Merlin now had a whole new set of weapons which to use against the prince. Judging by the look on Morgana's face she was thinking the same thing and they grinned at one another.

Oh this could be fun!

AN: Such a shame Morgana went six kinds of nuts not long after. Next up Gwaine and Merlin decide to teach Arthur an important life lesson which helped them over the years: Hakuna Matata.
