Tomorrow I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled. Granted, things shouldn't be too much of an issue since half of the things I post for this are crack, but to be on the safe side, I might not post during the next few days.

Disclaimer: *tells show creators to look at the flowers* I'll find a way to own Merlin one way or another...

Prompt: From pezzz: How about a back story on why Merlin is REALLY having to add holes to Arthur's belt because it turned into a flower.

Rating: K+

Genre: Humor

Characters: Merlin, Arthur

Time Frame: "The Nightmare Begins"

Summary: Every time a witch/warlock's powers awaken, surrounding magic users' powers act up. Like Merlin, who is just innocently putting away Arthur's clothes.

Let's Go On An Adventure

After Morgana's nightmare last night, Merlin's magic had been hiccuping. Cue the random bursts of magic as he cleaned Arthur's chambers. Thank goodness the prat wasn't here to see this latest display.

Somehow, Merlin managed to turn the belt into flowers. And he couldn't change it back.

...

"Ah, Merlin, I need you to..." Arthur frowned. "What are you hiding behind your back?"

Merlin switched hands, too embarrassed to let Arthur know about his mistake. "Nothing, see."

It occurred to Merlin that Arthur probably thought that the flowers were for Morgana.

Sure, let him think that.

And, again, Merlin loans out his belt to the prat, having to add a hole to make sure it fits (explanation came from Seedsiz). Both boys are going to be short on belts before the series is over.

The title is a slight reference to the "flora or fauna dilemma a few chapters ago.*

Some dialogue was taken from the episode.
