A/N: It's so awesome to see messages in my inbox that say Review and Story Alert. Totally makes my day! Thank you all so much! If anyone has anything they'd like to see in here at some point, please let me know, because I try to write several in advance so I always have something to post the next day.

Now, this little beauty is the first of currently 5 parts, and I must say, I'm very proud of them. I hope you enjoy them, too!

Prompt: Knowledge (Something)


4. Part 1. Knowledge

It would be worth it eventually, Gwaine knew; being fought tooth and nail as he dragged Merlin down to the tavern. Merlin was never interested in the people Gwaine associated with when he went out, but this time, it was different.

"Okay, Gwaine, which one is she so I can leave?"

"Red hair, blue dress, ten o'clock." Merlin stared at the girl in question, forgetting that subtlety was not his forte.

"What did you say her name was, Gwaine?"

"Meghan. Go introduce yourself." He gave his friend a shove and grinned as Merlin awkwardly said hello.

Yep. Totally worth it.


A/N2: Okay, I didn't realize until just this afternoon (i.e. about two weeks after I wrote this) that Gwaine wouldn't have known what a clock was, but I didn't feel like rewording it, so you'll have to excuse that.

Cheers!
