Disclaimer- Merlin sadly isn't mine :(

Authors Note- This is for the festive season! I am going to write a drabble for every day up until Christmas and then maybe up to new years as well. They will be related to the festive season in some small way and also they can be in any form or genre that I choose :) ...anywho feel free to give a prompt in a review! I will always be happy to write them!


Arthur walked into his chambers to find that someone had taken the time when he was at the council meeting to grow a string of Mistletoe from the ceiling. He frowned, "Merlin!" His voice was loud but at the same time there was a small measure of amusement there.

Merlin entered the room and stood next to Arthur, facing him with a raised eyebrow. "Yes sire?" Merlin's voice took on a more innocent tone as if he had no idea what was wrong.

"This is Mistletoe yes?"

"Of course, I took the time to grow some for you. All for the festive season you know!" Merlin gave him a wink. "I grew it from the ceiling in other places too...thought the castle needed something more..."

Arthur stared into Merlin's eyes in amazement, this really is the icing on the cake, he thought. In one swift movement Arthur pulled Merlin's thin frame into his arms, took a step backwards to be under the Mistletoe and gave the stunned Merlin a sarcastically passionate kiss.

The look of shock on Merlin's face was gold.

Arthur then released him, wiped his mouth and took a step back from the Mistletoe leaving Merlin to stay where he was, his eyes wide and mouth hanging slightly open "That will teach you to plant Mistletoe all over the ceilings of Camelot." He said before clapping a hand on the shoulder of the statue-like Merlin and leaving the room, letting the door swing shut with a slam behind him.


Note from the Author- Don't ask me how I thought of this. Just don't. I must be mad :P
