Mistletoe

It was Christmas and of course Arthur had the whole village looking forward to it. Galahad didn't think it was that bad of an idea despite being a Christian holiday. This year, however, he had a mission to complete.

Not the everyday fight-the-Saxons type of mission, but one subtler. He had decided enough was enough and he was going to make sure that Elaine and Lancelot realized that they were more then just friends and parents of the younger Galahad. They had been taking their relationship very slow ever since they had reunited three years ago.

At this point it was ignorance of the truth more the denial. Elaine had realized her feelings pretty much when Isolde had arrived and Lancelot not too long after a trip to another Woad village. Galahad-the-younger had told him that when the three of them were together even he could tell something was up between the two. And he was eight.

So, along with Bors and Gawain, he was going to try and play matchmaker and figured that Christmas was the perfect time for it. After all, he had props to help him. Mistletoe was such an great invention and one day he was going to thank whoever it was who decided to put that particular myth into it. If the person was still alive of course.

He had positioned one right over the table that Lancelot usually resided at during their time at the Tavern and now only had to figure out how to get Elaine over there. That was where Bors and Vanora came in. They had devised a plan to get the two to set at the same table and then someone, most likely Vanora, would announce that the mistletoe was above them after a few minutes.

Gawain had come up with a backup plan of getting into an argument with Lancelot and bringing in Elaine in cause the first plan didn't work. Galahad hoped the first plan did work because he wasn't too sure if Elaine would fight with Gawain. Lancelot, she would, but Gawain she most likely would shake her head and walk off to talk to Guinevere and Isolde about the medical supplies they would need soon. Both Elaine and Isolde worked in the position of village doctor since both had experience with caring for a lot of people.

Lancelot was sitting in his usual spot, playing a game with a few of the remaining roman soldiers and Elaine was talking to Vanora about something. She handed her a jug of wine and Elaine took it over to Lancelot's table.

Galahad watched from his usual spot, as the two talked and then looked up at the mistletoe. Lancelot had stood up and looked as if he was going to give Elaine the required kiss when Arthur and Guinevere stood up and announced they were having a baby.

Galahad was irritated, but he knew he would get another chance. Right now there were two people he needed to congratulate.

Well, the last two chapters were not what I thought was good, but hopefully I shall improve. Not sure if this was clear enough or not, but the Galahad who was scheming was Galahad the adult, not their son.

Review Responses:

Delis: hmm..That is an idea. Galahad hasn't finished with them yet!

Babaksmiles: Thank you:) I hope you liked the last two.

Blueicedragon129: Apparently neither of the Knights. Granted someone needs to get him to see that he needs to get moving before she goes to someone else..

Cardeia: I agree. I have one story that I still have from a while back that actually stops mid sentence. I'll never finish it but sometimes I get it out thinking I will and I get inspired for other stories.

I think a lot of relationships sneak up on people so it is more obvious to those who know you well. Those who don't might not catch it but if they know you very well as some friends tend to do, they will notice if you're in love with someone:)
