I got a request for the Gwaine/Merlin Wii incident mentioned in Past Judgement to be brought through in my Outtakes series…. So, here it is! Hope you guys enjoy.
Here Wii Go!
Watching those boys at the Wii made Kelly cringe, but she stayed back, seated on the sofa, just watching the medieval men play to their heart's content. It was kind of like supervising a really volatile play date. The moment Gwaine lost his cool and actually began flinging the nunchuck at the warlock, Merlin reacted in kind—though he simply found it amusing to further set off the knight at every opportunity. It wasn't until Kelly threatened to turn off the system that both Merlin and Gwaine settled down, both wearing pouts similar to one that her own child would have worn.
"Gwaine, step off! It's MINE!"
"Back of the line, Wizard Boy," the knight retorted, his face a mask of frustration. Merlin kept sideswiping him off the race track, and he lost precious seconds in his bid to win. "Only room for winners in this game, mate!" He laughed maniacally when he passed the cart that was in second place.
"Winners?" Merlin snorted, using his magic to shift Gwaine's controls ever so slightly….until the Knight's cart drove straight into a sand dune. "Oh, then you're playing the wrong game, mate," he shot back.
"MERLIN!" Gwaine huffed in irritation as Merlin quit out to the main menu, and turned to face the television screen again. "Fine. This time, you choose a game, you sore loser…"
They played a rousing game of Boxing that probably had their 'keeper' sweating more than they were. Both Gwaine and Merlin nearly threw the controllers straight into Colonel Anderson's brand new stereo system at a particularly challenging part of the tournament. Both had forgotten to wear the little white wristlets attached to each of the central remotes, to guard against disasters such as this.
Somewhere along the way, Merlin managed to deck Gwaine for real—while trying to land a great left hook. Go figure!
Before things could escalate further, it was game over…
A/N:
I know, they seem rather toddler-esque when put in front of video games for the first time. But I have seen this very behaviour—especially out of boys! ARGH!
