Morgana had seemed to bump into Arthur a lot as of late. While they were flat mates so it was expected, she just didn't realise exactly how much they'd see each other. It was around eight in the morning after Morgana had just finished the night shift; quite a tiring ordeal. The NICU in Cambridge hospital had "officially" closed, therefore many of the babies were moved over to GOSH, while some were well enough to go to the NICU in their local hospital many of the babies were still sick so had to be transferred in the NICU ambulance over.
She lazily trudged to the door of the apartment and took the lift up to her floor. That was a long night. And she was absolutely starving. She was putting the key into her flat and beginning to unlock it when she heard somebody next to her opening their flat door.
"Hi Morgana" Arthur smiled. "Lovely day, isn't it?".
"It sure is" Morgana agreed. "Gosh I'm so tired though, had the night shift. Going to have to have breakfast and then go to sleep".
"Well" Arthur smiled coyly. "I just made some nice breakfast and there is no way I'll be able to eat it all on my own. Why don't you join me?".
"Okay" Morgana smiled. "Let's have breakfast".
Arthur asked morgana what she wanted for breakfast—she was having whatever he was having—so they ate dippy egg with toast, followed by pancakes.
"Do you have tea or coffee?" Arthur asked.
"Technically coffee" Morgana smiled. "Yet as I have to sleep soon could I have tea?".
"Actually, I make a rather nice hot chocolate if you'd like that".
"I'd love that" Morgana smiled. She waited on the sofa while Arthur made himself a tea and her a hot chocolate, they soon sat on the sofa together as they watched the news and sipped their drinks.
"Should we change it?" Arthur asked. "I mean they're going on about Aussie flu again I will say it's rather depressing". He looked to the smaller woman—she was asleep and resting her head on his shoulder. He smiled at her and gently tried to put his cup down. Picking her up in his arms, he gently transferred her to his bed. Satisfied that she was comfortable, Arthur went to the kitchen and checked his calendar. What was he going to do today? Well with his neighbour asleep in his bed, there wasn't much he could do, so he opted to gather ingredients together for lunch—pasta bake. The recipe that Arthur was using would take at least a few hours and seeing as Arthur had the time to spare he may as well get on with it. Even Merlin would approve.
Merlin. He had therapy in the afternoon again, as usual, every Friday. Morgana was asleep in his bed and based on when he last checked on her, she had no plans whatsoever on waking up, being fast asleep. Though his appointment wasn't until the afternoon so it was likely she would wake up—while leaving the pasta in the oven Arthur turned on the TV and flicked through the channels. Everything was either boring or depressing, so he soon switched to his PS4 and resumed his Fortnite game—with the sound off; he didn't want to wake Morgana and she looked exhausted.
A few hours later at around twelve, the lunch was ready so he went to check on Morgana. Still asleep. He let her be and sat alone at the table as he ate his lunch, reading a book named 'The road to Avalon' at the same time. He'd just started the book, yet he was enjoying it rather much, getting to know the characters in the book. Someone named Merlin, who was Morgan's father, and also the father of the Arthur character's mother. Strange he couldn't help but think as he read through the pages.
Arthur glanced at the clock. Time to go see Dr Emrys. He ripped some paper off a notepad on the fridge and grabbed a pen, hastily writing. 'Morning Morgana. You fell asleep on the sofa so I loved you to my bed. I'm currently out at a doctors appointment but feel free to help yourself to anything. Left your bag and phone on the bedside table. Call me if you need anything, Arthur'
He made sure to grab his Oyster card after scribbling down his number, then picked up his phone, headphones and his wallet and of course his coat seeing as it's January before he headed off down the the tube and took the train to his therapy clinic. He waited in the waiting room, normally Merlin was right on time. Yet this time he wasn't for some reason.
"Excuse me" Arthur said as he went over to the reception desk. "I'm supposed to have an appintment with doctor Emrys yet he hasn't come to collect me. I was wondering if I should head to his room?".
"Sounds like a wise idea" the receptionist nodded. "You head down there and if he isn't there I'll ring him, although he should be there".
Arthur went down the corridor and through the twists and turns until he got to Merlin's room. Not bothering to knock, and not bothering to look through the window on the door he barged in.
"Dr Emrys, we have an—oh bloody hell!".
A blonde woman dressed in black lay down on the desk. While Merlin's chair faced the door as usual, the patient faced away. Merlin was sat on the desk with his head under the woman's dress right in between her creamy yet slightly tanned legs.
"Yes, Merlin, yes!" She moaned as she reached her climax.
"Ahem!" Arthur shouted. He just wanted the ground to swallow him up whole—he had never been so humiliated in his life.
"Merlin" the woman purred. "There's someone here to see you".
"Arthur" Merlin gasped as he turned around. He was about to offer his hand before he realised it better not to, instead deciding to grab some tissues. "What are you doing here?".
"It's Friday afternoon" Arthur drawled. "We have an appointment, like we do every Friday afternoon".
"Didn't you get my email?" Merlin frowned. "We changed the sessions to Thursdays".
"Ah!" Arthur remarked. "Is that the weird blue thingy with an envelope? The letters on the little phone box".
"Yes Arthur" Merlin nodded.
"Ah yes" Arthur wondered what to say. "It won't happen again. I'll let you get back to your..." Arthur raised his eyebrows. "Girl".
By the time Arthur returned, Morgana still seemed to be asleep so he knocked on the bedroom door.
"Come in" she called. She was sat up in the bed as she did something on her phone. "How'd it go?".
"Terribly" Arthur laughed. "No idea how to use the phone, and it turns out my appointment was cancelled".
"Oh dear" Morgana chuckled. "That still doesn't explain why you're blushing. It's not because of me, is it? I should be heading back to mine anyway I'm sure you have things to do".
"I caught my therapist eating out some blondie" Arthur blurted out.
"Oh dear" Morgana chuckled again. "No wonder you look traumatised".
"So awful" Arthur agreed as he shook his head. "Terrible. Just terrible".
"So you know to always be patient then and not let your big head take the lead" Morgana teased.
"My head is big because it has this thing called a brain, it makes me smart" Arthur retorted.
"And that's why you're so big headed" Morgana grinned. "But anyway, I should head back to mine".
"Stay a little longer?" Arthur pouted. "I made lunch".
"Maybe another time" Morgana winked. "But for now I ought to go. Don't want to mess up the sleep schedule, working nights and all".
"Of course" Arthur nodded. "I'll let you get on with it. See you later?".
"You'll have to wait and see" Morgana winked. "See you around then".
"You sure will!".
Morgana had just woken up in her own bed. While it was nice of Arthur to move her to his bed, there was no feeling like waking up in your own bed. She checked her phone—six o'clock so it was definitely "normal" time for the night shift week. Time to wake up then. She was slightly surprised at hearing someone knocking at the door; yet went to answer it anyway. Arthur. Holding a plate.
"Arthur" she greeted.
"How are you?" Arthur asked.
"I'm good" Morgana smiled. "Just woken up and have the next shift at work in a couple of hours. What's that?".
"Dinner" Arthur smiled. "I made you some dinner. Pasta bake".
"That's so sweet" Morgana smiled. "I'll have it after my work. I'll see you around".
"You sure will" Arthur smiled.
"What's gotten you smiling like that?" Gwen asked. Morgana was early for once, having a dreamy smile on her face.
"Nothing" Morgana insisted.
"Or is it a certain someone" Gwen teased.
Morgana rolled her eyes. Gwen knew her too well. "There's some guy who just moved into the apartment next to mine. He is, well, he's amazing".
"Maybe it's time for you to get back on the dating spectrum after all" Gwen winked.
A/N: *crawls out from hiding space* well, I managed to get around to updating this! To be honest after last chapter it was a no brainer where this chapter would go. As I have quite a few stories on the go at the moment updates may be sporadic but I'll try to update as much as I can!
