A/N: Well guys, I have another holiday special for you. This one was just a fun little thing I threw together to celebrate Valentine's and get me back in the groove of writing. Unfortunately some drama reared its ugly head and I wasn't really in the mood to write for, like, a week. But, fortunately, the universe is being nice to me again and the drama train has left the station. Thank you universe!
So, anywho, I should be able to post the newest chapter soon but for now let this tide you over. It's not nearly as much as I would have liked to have written for a holiday special but Valentine's came faster than I thought and I really would like to get cracking on the new chapter so, for the sake of the new chapter, we will have to settle for something fun but short. I hope you enjoy!
Also, Happy Valentine's to everybody!
Valentine's Day Special:
From Arthur to Merlin:
1. Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I left some armour on your bed,
Clean it quickly, I need it in the morning
2. Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Dandelions are yellow,
And you're an idiot
3. Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I have a special
Present for you
P.S. It's my penis
4. Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I need you to polish my sword,
And no, that's not an innuendo
5. Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
…I like your ears
From Merlin to Arthur:
6. Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You're a prat,
And I hate you…sort of
7. Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
And you're an ass
8. Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Who taught you how to write poems?
Seriously, they're awful
9. Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Quit leaving your sweaty armour on my bed
10. Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
There's another sorcerer in the castle
And they're trying to kill you
Lancelot to Aldwin:
Aldwin stood on the balcony, gazing at the night sky before him. It really was quite beautiful and, much as he missed Cornwall, Camelot seemed to shimmer with a serene tranquility that calmed him. It really was a gorgeous place.
"Oh fair Aldwin of Cornwall!" Aldwin jumped, furrowing his brows and looking over the ledge.
"Oh shite." He cursed, spotting a familiar figure. Lancelot was kneeling on the ground, a bouquet of roses in his hand as he gazed up at Aldwin lovingly. "Go away!" The prince shouted, irritation settling in.
"Though a rose doth contain a crimson hue,"
'What is he doing?' Aldwin thought before a horrifying realization sunk in. 'Poetry?'
"And a violet, in contrast, may be quite blue,"
"Oh no. No, no, no, no, no!" Aldwin shouted, glaring at the man. "You are not-oh god." As much as he wanted to just retreat into his room he seemed frozen in place, watching Lancelot with morbid fascination.
"The flower that I long for day after day
Is coated in the colour of you"
"Go to bed!" The prince shouted in terror, hoping to god that nobody noticed what was going on.
"For golden petals catch my gaze,
Your hair a flowing thread of wheat,
I find that on the many days
It's you I strongly wish to meet"
"He's really quite good, I have to admit." Aldwin jumped when a voice spoke up from beside him. He groaned when he realized that, somehow, Prince Arthur had gotten on the balcony.
"What are you doing here?" He hissed angrily.
"Shh." Arthur hushed him with a smirk. "You won't want to miss the good bit."
Aldwin stared at him incredulously. "You planned this?" He exclaimed. Arthur shot him a smirk before pointing out at Lancelot.
"My flower, my love, my golden enigma,
I long for that which you keep from me,
Were it mine, for me to treasure
I would do so with utmost glee,"
Aldwin spluttered when the sound of a harp began to accompany the man's voice. A maiden trotted out from the trees, holding a harp and playing soulfully. Aldwin's eyes drifted, though, to the boy behind her, carrying a basket of petals and dancing around Lancelot, sprinkling them around the man as he twirled.
"Um, Arthur?" Aldwin asked hesitantly.
"Yes?" The prince replied, voice coated in satisfaction and mirth.
"Why's Merlin wearing a dress?" He asked as he watched Merlin dance, dress swaying with the motions.
"He insulted my poetry."
"Were it in night or in sun,
In hiding or plain sight,
You are my only one
And such is my plight
The laughter that shines in your eyes,
Viridian orbs that always sparkle,
I find your smile draws out mine,
And your joy is quite remarkable
My heart reaches out to yours,
And finds a kindred feeling,
I see your face in every gaze
And it sends my heart reeling,"
"Wow, this just doesn't end does it?" Aldwin muttered, staring as Lancelot kept going. Merlin and the harp player were beginning to look tired and irritate though Lancelot didn't look like he was ready to stop.
"No, it really doesn't." Arthur sighed.
-5 MINUTES LATER-
"Time, oh racing friend that passes,
Grant me but once to be with you,
For it is you that doth reside in my heart,
In my head, in my mind, and the blue
Of a sky that span the length of the world,
Full of life and the comforts of people,
But disgrace them I would, for my mind has been furled,
By the power of your great steeple,"
Aldwin, who had begun to space out, perked up again at that.
"Was that an innuendo?" He asked, looking at Arthur wildly. The prince jumped, having dozed off on the ledge.
"What?" He asked, rubbing at his eyes and giving a yawn.
"Oh sweet voice that echoes to me softly,"
"THAT'S IT! I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE!"
Both Aldwin and Arthur jolted, quickly looking back at the grounds and groaning at what they saw. The harp player had evidently had enough and was currently…well, beating Lancelot with her harp. Merlin glanced around awkwardly before backing away, shooting a frightened look at the harpist and then disappearing in the woods.
"Well…uh, happy Valentine's I guess." Arthur murmured, looking at Aldwin awkwardly.
"Yeah, you too." They both glanced away, feet shifting as they moved inside the castle.
"Where are you going?" Arthur asked suspiciously, spotting Aldwin moving to the door as well.
"Where are you going?" Aldwin countered pointedly.
"Back to my chambers. You on the other hand are…" A look of realization came onto Arthur's face and he shot a glare at Aldwin. "Merlin's mine." He snarled and they both began to move faster.
"Not if I can get to him first." Aldwin challenged and they both rushed for the door.
"Ow! You can't hit me, that's cheating!"
"No it's not, besides- ow! You just bit me!"
"No I didn't!"
"Liar!"
Aldwin to Lancelot:
No means no (unless you're Merlin)
