Sweet dreams part 2

Gabby had decided. Arthur was an idiot! He some how always managed to get into a fight to the death or get into a fight were he would end up seriously hurt, so yes, he was an idiot!

"The weapons chosen are quarter staff, maize and sword, the fight will be to the knight's rules and to the death." Uther explained.
The fight had begun! Arthur blocked every hit, and in his cockyness blew a kiss to Vivian, which Gabby had to admit was sweet. Arthur managed to knock the king down and Arthur faced Vivian and was all proud of him self, what he didn't notice was the king getting back up and hitting for the back of his knees which caused Arthur to fall to the floor. Arthur got up really angry, he started just going in for the hit and ignoring what the king was doing, the king hit Arthur really hard in the ribs before the timer ran out. Gaius gave Arthur a quick look before Arthur went back out, Arthur had broken one of his ribs! And yet he went out like nothing was wrong! The timer ran out just in time, because Arthur was on the floor just as the king was about to give the final blow, but Arthur hadn't managed to escape another hit in the ribs. Gabby was worried, something was wrong, why was Arthur being like this? It was almost as if he was enchanted… Oh, after coming back out of his tent, Arthur said something to Merlin which caused Merlin to smile. Merlin looked up and saw Gabby looking at him, he waved and she waved back, Merlin decided, after the match, no matter what, he was going to tell her. Arthur managed to pin the King down, Arthur had won! Well, it was a fight to the death, he had to kill the king, but he didn't. He put his sword on the ground and shouted,

"This is not a way to achieve peace!" He helped the king up as everyone clapped, Gabby smiled, maybe he wasn't an idiot after all… nope, he was still an idiot, but a smart one.

Gabby was walking to her chamber when Merlin pulled her into a dark alcove in the wall, Gabby trying not to go red at the closeness asked,

"What are you doing Merlin?"

"I need to tell you something!" Merlin said urgently, Gabby smiled, she couldn't help it, but it was a huge cheesy grin.

"What?" She asked,

"I know I'm just a servant, and I know you are a noble woman, the King's ward in fact, but today, I'm not telling you how, has been about true love and loving someone because of them not because of their status, I hope you are following me with this,"

"I think I am," Gabby said with a confused look, she didn't want to get to excited just in case what he was saying wasn't what she thought he was saying.

"What I'm trying to say is, when you kissed me a few weeks ago, I felt something, and when you hugged me two days ago it was like a spark and I haven't been able to stop thinking about either of them since it happened, and I'm just going to say it, now or never, Gabby, I am…" he stopped,

"What?" she whispered

"I am in love with you and I understand if you don't love me back I just wanted…" he was cut off with Gabby throwing her arms around Merlin in attempt to kiss him but she somehow punched the wall behind him, she bit her lip,

"Are you ok?" Merlin asked worriedly, she just replied in a high pitched squeal, her eyes started watering, "come on," Merlin said leading her to Gaius's chamber. She had broken her wrist! Gaius bandaged up an asked

"How did it happen?"

"Erm…" Gabby said, Gaius shuck his head and left the room, Gabby was looking at the floor but when she lifted her head up to see Merlin's face millimetres away from hers,

"How exactly did you do that?" Merlin asked

"By doing this," Gabby said rapping her arms around his neck and kissing him. Merlin couldn't help but smile during the kiss, so much better than he had remembered! They stopped kissing and hugged, Merlin kissed her forehead and Gabby said she had to go, he nodded and kissed her quickly on the lips before she left, after she left Gaius came back in.

"So how did she break it?" Gaius said

"Erm…" Merlin said

"You can tell me," Gaius said

"She broke it trying to kiss me." Merlin said going red.

"And did she kiss you?" Gaius asked

"Yeah, just then after you left, twice!" Merlin said swaying

"You kissed a ward of Camelot twice!" Gaius said with his mouth open

"Well, three times if you count when I kissed her forehead" Merlin said

"Uther will have your head if he finds out!" Gaius shouted, Merlin nodded and walked to the door, "Where you going?" Gaius asked

"To see Gabby" Merlin said

"She just left!"

"I know, but I need to see her again!"

"Merlin be careful!"

"I will be" Merlin said but just as he was about to leave, Gaius said

"What about your love for that druid girl? Freya?" Merlin sighed,

Telling Gabby about how he felt he had totally forgotten about Freya, a pang of sadness hit him. Freya. He had loved Gabby before Freya, and he still loves Gabby now, but Freya… the girl he had rescued, the girl he had taken food for, the girl who he was risking to leave Camelot for, the girl who had died in his arms. He thought back to Gabby, in a way, he knew he shouldn't think this, but he was sort of, not happy, but glad that Freya died, because if she didn't he wouldn't finally be with Gabby, he would be somewhere with Freya, probably missing Gabby and wanting to come back. He would always love Freya, but he would always love Gabby more.

Gauis could see Merlin was deep in thought so he just waited for Merlin to speek.

"I did love Freya, I still do but I have and always will, love Gabby more."

"I understand, as I said, be careful," Gaius said. Merlin nodded and left, Merlin has always loved Gabby more, no one, not even Freya, could stop his love for Gabby. He arrived at Gabby's chambers, he knocked and she opened the door, she was stood there smiling at him. Merlin felt butterflies in his stomach; Gabby was the 'one'.
