ON WITH THE FIC!
"MERLIN!"
"Gahhhh…." The warlock opened his eyes, but the splitting head ache caused him to lift his arms to shield his eyes.
"It to bright!" Merlin whined. "give me a few more minutes…" mumbling he started to doze off.
"Oh, Idiot! YOU are NOT doing that!" A force, a LOUD, strong and OBNOXIOUS force was lifting Merlin from the ground.
Merlin finally upright, frowned. "Arthur?" Opening his eyes he sees the prince, not a duck, with his blond hair filled with fluffy feathers. "Arthur!" Merlin smiled at the angry prince.
"Merlin, you have better have a dang good explanation about this"
Merlin, finally more awake saw the state Arthur was in. The prince was covered in the tattered rags, which used to be a shirt, had feathers sticking out of his hair, his nose and his ears, and most of all he was covered in sparkles, bright purple ones. Merlin, trying to keep himself from laughing at the fuming prince looked about the room.
"Oh, dear…." Merlin felt dread settle in his stomach. The room was an udder disaster, the bed sheets were in tatters, the table was over turned, the desk looked like it was slightly burnt, and feathers and glitter were coating everything. "Gosh, no…"
"Ah, yes Merlin, not only do you need to explain this, but you also need to explain, my splitting head ache, and why I don't remember anything since I went to sleep last night!" Tearing the poor remains of the shirt off of his body, Arthur turned to Merlin "Well, are you going to help me get dressed?"
Eyes wide with shock, Merlin nodded, and ran to pick out clothes for Arthur. Grabbing a shirt and a pair of trousers, the manservant searched the room for the two druid children, who seemed to have vanished.
"Do you know what happened, Merlin?" Arthur raised an eyebrow, similar Gaius, and looked at the man in front of him, holding the clothes.
"Uh, er, um… To tell you the truth, sire, it all is kind funny…. Similar to a dream, I can remember a duck…" Merlin scratched his head after handing Arthur the clothes. Well, there is a bit more than that. Merlin chuckled darkly, and shook his head.
After finishing assisting Arthur, The prince turned to the manservant. "Merlin, Since you have no knowledge of the day, I want this room cleared up, and I want my stables to be mucked out and I want my dogs to be fed and walked, personally by you, and I want this all done, before I return from talking to my father, who should know what is going on…"
Arthur saw the despair in his Menservants eyes, he then also noticed the dark rings under his eyes, the overly pale skin- even for Merlin's standards- and the pain induced wrinkle in the man's forehead. Arthur then sighed, "Fine Merlin, this once I will let you go, just this once, don't ever, I mean ever expect this again." Looking straight into Merlin's eyes he finally softened his gaze, 'really Merlin, go sleep, you look terrible…"
"Have you looked in a mirror?" Merlin dashed out chuckling as he heard a poor metal dish crash into the hall.
Merlin Whistled as he walked back to Gaius' chambers.
Opening the door, Merlin called out his mentors name "Gaius? Gaius?" Looking around he finally saw Gaius step out from behind an empty book shelf.
"Gaius! You're Alright!" Running, Merlin launched himself into a hug. Holding the hug for a moment, Gaius pulled away.
"So Merlin, how are you doing? I assume you magic is back under your control? No more burning table, no more shape changing? No more… sneezing?" Gaius, started to inspect Merlin similar to how he had at the beginning of the day.
"Well, Gaius, just watch!"
Raising his arm, the warlock, spread his fingers and spoke in the ancient tongue, "Forbærne." The warlock's eyes burned gold, and the candle on the burnt table lit, Merlin turned and smiled at Gaius.
"See Gaius, all better!" Merlin looks around the room and found many broken bottles, the burnt table and a books spread all over the floor, and frowned. "Gaius, it is a mess in here-"
Turning to the boy, and cutting him off "yes, I it is Merlin, and I expect you to clean it up… without the use of your magic." Smiling, Gaius turns to his flabbergasted ward. "Oh would you like supper? I made your favorite, stew."
"But, but, what… how, HOW am I supposed to clean the TABLE, it is burnt!" Merlin ran his fingers through his hear, his eyes wide, staring at his mentor.
"Use the thing between your ears. I am sure you will figure it out, you always do, like you did today." Motioning Merlin over to the bench, sitting next to the burnt table, "come and eat, unfortunately due to, interesting circumstances, we have no table to eat on so you will have to eat from your lap."
Grumbling under his breath, Merlin walks over to his mentor, and grabs the stew, and sits down.
Starting to eat the stew, he turns to Gaius, "do we have any more pepper?"
"Yes we do, it is right here," handing the pepper to his ward, he starts to eat his supper.
Shaking the pepper over his stew, Merlin's nose started to feel a little tickled. Merlin Sneezed.
Sploosh.
Winced at the sound, keeping his eyes closed, Merlin whispers, "Gaius… what happened?"
"Let's just say I just got well acquainted with my supper." Merlin cautiously opened his eyes. Looking at his Mentor, he started to laugh, hysterically. Gaius' hair and face was dripping with stew, his eyebrow raised, and his eyes glaring at his ward.
Handing Gaius a towel, Merlin grinning from ear to ear says "well Gaius, you do look, STEWnning!"
At the warlock's terrible pun, Gaius smiled and they laughed as the sun slowly sank beneath the trees.
