A/N- how is your Tuesday going? Mine is going alright, it's raining but other than that it's just another normal Tuesday.
Gwaine and Arthur were in his study brainstorming ideas for Gwen's gift. Or rather Gwaine was lounging at the table and Arthur was pacing around nervously. "I wonder what Merlin's doing right now?" he mused watching the king as he walked back in forth in front of him.
Arthur stopped and glared, "if he knows what's good for him, he's looking for the most perfect white horse for me.' He went back to his pacing.
"What about a new dress, "Gwen asked. "Girls love dresses."
"Yeah but I can get her a dress anytime, this gift has to be special." Arthur insisted.
Gwaine grabbed an apple off the table and took a bite. Arthur stood and stared expectantly at him, after a moment he swallowed and said, "what about something for her hair?"
Arthur shook his head, "no I gave her a set of hair combs for her birthday." Flopping into a chair at the table he rested his chin in the palm of his hand.
"Oookkaay, what about," he stopped for a minute and thought. Then snapping his fingers he said, "Oh I know, how about a sword and shield. You could have your crest put on the shield and then you could engrave something romantic on the blade of the sword. "he wiggled his eyebrows at Arthur, "that would be special. She could hang it up in her dressing room to remember you by. When you give it to her you could say something like, he cleared his throat and mimicked Arthur 'i'm your shield baby.' Feeling very proud of himself he sat back and took another bite from his apple.
Arthur groaned and banged his forehead on the table.
"What?"
"I knew I should have asked Leon instead," he muttered.
