Because we are so short-staffed, they had me work an extra three and a half hours today :( I am so sleepy! Yet for whatever reason, my decides, "Hey, let's have a cook out. And you know, have burgers and stuff! It's not like *insert Lya's real name here* doesn't buy her own food after work or anything." Like, I don't want burgers right now. I had a nice baconator for lunch; I don't need another hamburger today.

Disclaimer: Every time I have to think of a new disclaimer, I throw a temper tantrum.

Prompt: From me: Arthur wasn't hurt that Merlin wasn't coming with him to Camlann; he was hurt by the fact that Merlin was lying to him.

Rating: K+

Genre: Angst

Characters: Arthur, mention of Gaius, heavy mentions of Merlin

Time Frame: Season 5 "The Diamond of the Day Part 1" after Merlin tells Arthur that he isn't coming with him to Camlann. Can be seen as Arthur knowing Merlin has magic.

Summary: Arthur has to deal with the fact that Merlin isn't following him to Camlann. The thing is, he knows that Merlin is lying about the vital supplies, but he doesn't know why.

Let's Go On An Adventure

"Vital supplies," Arthur muttered, kicking his bedpost. "Yeah, right!"

He laughed despite no one being there. "Collecting 'herbs for Gaius' my arse!"

He picked up a goblet and flung it at the wall. "How about a better excuse next time, Merlin?!"

The King threw a pillow across the room before slumping. "Well, I hope that you you know what you're doing, Merlin, because I know when you are lying to me!"

There was no way for Merlin to hear him, but Arthur added in a solemn whisper, "I just don't know why you can't trust me."

For...reasons...it seems awfully convenient that this was to be posted on this day. Originally, it was supposed to come out yesterday, but I woke up late and I had to work closing shift... Same difference. Convenience. Stuff. *glares at Seedsiz*
