Mr. Snuggles slept in Gwaine's room with him while Percival begrudgingly left only to come back a few hours later to see him again.
"GOOOOOD MORNING!" Percival sang as he slammed open the door.
"WHAT!? WHO'S THAT?" Gwaine yelled disorientated making Mr. Snuggles fall from Gwaine's head (a lovely makeshift fluffy pillow) and onto the bed. He meowed in protest at this. Percival walked over and swooped the cat into his arms and grinned.
"HEY!" Gwaine protested as he remembered what had happened last night and what was currently happening. The less cooler dad was holding Mr. Snuggles.
"We're going to introduce you to Elyan today!"
"We are?" Gwaine asked getting out of bed.
"Of course! If Leon doesn't want to get involved, doesn't mean Elyan can't!" Percival ran out of the room before Gwaine could protest. He quickly found some fresh clothes and ran out of the door still trying to put on a sock. "PERCIVAL."
The knight in question popped his head out of a door further down, "Yes?" He grinned.
"YOU COULD'VE WAITED FOR ME."
"You were still in bed..." Percival trailed off before going back into Elyan's room.
Gwaine ran into the room to see Percival trying to get Elyan hold the unimpressed cat.
"Percival. It is just a cat."
"BUT MR. SNUGGLES IS AMAZING."
"GWAINE." Elyan yelled hoping Gwaine would get this guy to stop shoving an angry cat in his face.
"Percival?!" Gwaine exclaimed.
"Gwaine!" Percival grinned.
"Percival!" Gwaine glared.
"Gwaine!"
"ELYAN!"
Silence.
"Good now can you please leave and take that grumpy cat away from me." Elyan continued as he pushed the knights out of his room and slammed the door.
"Why does no-one like Mr. Snuggles?" Gwaine wondered aloud.
"I guess Camelot is a dog town." Percival sighed. His eyes lit up suddenly, "GWEN LIKES CATS RIGHT!"
"NO SHE DOESN'T!" was heard from the other side of the door from Elyan.
"Shush you cat hater! Right. LET'S FIND GWEN!" Percival exclaimed and, still holding the cat, ran off further into the castle.
"IT'S MY TURN TO HOLD HIM." Gwaine yelled, running after.
"He's so cute!" Gwen cooed cuddling Mr. Snuggles.
"Elyan said you hated cats!" Percival said smugly.
"He did have a bad experience with one once, so I pretended to hate them with him."
"STOP... RUNNING... EVERYWHERE..." Gwaine had finally reached the destination out of breath. Turns out he didn't do much exercise anymore.
"But it was a matter of great importance!" Percival pouted.
"Oh was it really." Gwaine glared.
"Guys? Have you fed this cat recently? He looks a bit too thin..." Gwen stared at the cat with huge concerned eyes that only a female could give to such a cute cat.
"GWAINE THAT WAS YOUR JOB."
"I GOT THE MILK LAST TIME."
"HE WAS IN YOUR ROOM."
"IF YOU WANT TO BE THE COOLER DAD, YOU NEED TO GET THE MILK."
"JUST ADMIT I'M THE COOLER DAD."
Gwen sighed. "How about you both get the milk and I'll wait here and give the cat some string to play with?"
"...fine." Gwaine relented.
"Ok, Gwen..." Percival sighed. "Let's go, Gwaine! Mr. Snuggles needs us!"
They eventually came back with a bowl of milk and a cooked chicken leg. "Do cats like this stuff?" Gwaine wondered aloud for the fifth time since they had got the food.
"Of course they do. Why is he called Mr. Snuggles?" Gwen replied while turning around in a chair whilst stroking him.
"Woah..." Percival said slightly unnerved.
"What?"
"Kinda creepy don't you think?"
"Is it?"
"I agree." Gwaine said trying to figure out how holding a cat could still be scary.
"Sorry," Gwen placed the cat back on the ground for the knights to feed, "I have some business to get to. Mainly make sure that Arthur doesn't completely neglect his own plans. Bye Mr. Snuggles!" Then Gwen left leaving Gwaine and Percival in her room.
"It feels wrong to be in her room when she isn't here." Gwaine mused as he placed the milk on the floor with the chicken. Naturally the kitten went straight to the chicken.
"Gwen I- WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING IN HER ROOM?!" Gwaine and Percival jumped then immediately went to stand in front of Mr. Snuggles.
"Nothing?" Gwaine said unconvincingly.
"Where's Gwen!?"
"Went looking for you, princess." Gwaine grinned, happy to get off the topic of why they were in Gwen's room.
"... Is that a cat?"
"No..." Percival whistled.
"Yes it is. It attacked my face last night." Arthur ventured into the room.
"Sure you weren't dreaming, Princess?"
"STOP CALLING ME PRINCESS. I KNOW WHAT I SAW."
"Temper, Princess..." Gwaine grinned. Teasing Arthur was a favourite pastime of his.
"Just get that blasted cat out of this room and out of my sight."
"Why don't you like cats, Arthur?" Percival asked as he picked up the happily eating cat sadly. Mr. Snuggles was not impressed to say the least. Finally getting some food and BAM! Taken away from him again.
"I just don't!"
"We'll get you to like cats, Arthur. Soon..." Gwaine left the room with Percival while Arthur just rolled his eyes.
"YOU LEFT THE MILK."
Gwaine quickly walked back in and took the milk. "SOON, PRINCESS. SOON." He proceeded to slam the door in Arthur's face.
That soon never came.
The rest of the day was spent introducing Mr. Snuggles to various people around the castle. Turns out Arthur, Leon and Elyan are the only cat haters in Camelot.
Typical.
This was reaching a three-shot position I had to stop it... rubbishly . ALAS. GWAINE'S STORY HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
