Author Note: Okay thanks for the reviews guys, and in response to narnia365, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure where I am going with it! But I do sort of feel like the summary was rubbish so.. basically this is how I think the episode should have happened, I'm not sure how long it will be, and even though I know these chapters are quite short, i like that and i definately won't update THIS quickly once I go back to school, but I will try my best to keep up! Oh and one final thing, if any of you are interested, my tumblr name is the same as my author name, so extremely-good-finder, you can talk to me on there too! xx
Merlin ran straight past Gaius, and into his room, slamming the door behind him. Ignoring Gaius' worried call, he began moving anything incriminating underneath his bed, thinking that Arthur would find his way in eventually. He forced a cupboard up against the door, his eyes glowing gold. Then he took the blanket off the bed and sat in a corner, shivering from the shock. Thinking. The main thought in his head being "Shit. Shit. Shit."
Arthur didn't know what to say. Gaius had that look on his face, he knew there was trouble and he wouldn't stop until he knew about it.
"Sire?"
It was less of a question, and more of a demand. Arthur gulped.
"Merlin.. seems a little upset…"
"And why exactly, may I ask?"
"I.. I don't know…"
"Right."
They both knew Arthur was lying.
There was an awkward pause.
Gaius sighed angrily.
"Well am I going to have to wheedle it out of you? What on earth is going on?"
"I'm not sure.. I.. I'm.. getting married, to Gwen…ivere"
Gwenivere, thought . That sounded like they weren't just friends. He should definitely stop calling her Gwen.
"Ah."
A flurry of emotions seemed to pass through Gaius' face; he looked shocked, upset and very worried. Suddenly Gaius' face went blank, as though a shield went up, and he didn't want to show what he was thinking.
"I" he coughed forcedly "I have no idea why this would upset Merlin. I think you should leave now sire."
I'm not leaving until I find out whats wrong!"
Gaius was walkling towards Arthur now, looking surprisingly threatening for a man of his age, talking to his monarch. Arthur began to edge backwards, until he found himself in the corridor again.
"I think you already know, sire."
And with that, the door closed in his face.
