A/N: Hey, my friends! Okay, I should really be in bed. Would be, but I decided to watch last year's DW Christmas special. Love those. So good. Remember how a long time ago I said there might be drabbles about my job at the department store? Well, you finally get one! The worst thing, I've learned, about working in the evening on weekends is that NO ONE SHOPS IN THE EVENING ON WEEKENDS! And my entire job relies on people to be shopping because all I really do is ring them up! So, this little bit is sort of based on tonight. Except I didn't actually get to leave early. :P Which actually wound up being a good thing. Enjoy!

"I'm going home," Merlin randomly declared in the middle of the day. Arthur didn't even look up from his lunch.
"No, you're not."
"Yes, I am," his servant insisted. "I finished all my chores; there's nothing else for me to do."
Arthur paused, going through his mental list of 'Stuff for Merlin to Do.' "Polish my armor?"
"Yes."
"Clean my chambers?"
"Yes."
"Stables?"
"With a fine-tooth comb."
The list went on and on until finally Merlin had had enough.
"Look, just come and find me if you think of something!"
Arthur stared after him, flabbergasted. Something was very not right.
Cheers!
