Oh, Joy

Merlin grinned as he watched Arthur run around the room, chasing his four year old son.

Arthur turned his head towards Merlin wanting to say something, but then noticed the grin on Merlin's face. The King glared at him, but the grin never faded.

„What are you grinning at?! We'll see when you'll run after your child!" Arthur growled.

Merlin raised an eyebrow. „For your information, I already have a child and I already am running around chasing it all the time. Everywhere the little one goes, trouble seems to follow her" he added more to himself, the picture of his little daughter creating itself in his head.

Arthur rolled his eyes, but a blush appeared on his cheeks. „Sorry. I'm just too busy catching up with all of this. A child! I have a child! It's not like it's the easiest job in the world" Arthur sighed.

„You're telling me" Merlin replied, but then another grin appeared on his face. „By the way, Arthur, where's your son?"

Arthur's eyes grew wide. „Oh, not again!" he groaned, dashing out of the room and looking for the small blonde boy.

'And here the fun begins' Merlin thought, making himself comfortable in a chair. He smiled when he heard Arthur in the hall. It seems the whole castle heard him, because everyone walked out of their rooms to look what it was. They weren't surprised when they saw their King dashing trough the halls, calling out his son's name.

The real fun began when Arthur found his son.

„No… No! Put that down! Please! You're killing me! I'll call your mother… Hey, don't you dare and throw that at me! Wait! Wait, wait, wait… Aaah! MERLIN! GWEN! SOMEBODY! HELP ME OUT OF HERE!".

Merlin sighed, shaking his head. He could practically see Arthur in a pool of mud that, apparently, his son set out for him as a trap.

„Kids… Oh, joy" he chuckled…
