A/N: Grr. Just. Grr. Still mopey. Still unaccomplished. Praying to God that that changes tomorrow.
On the bright side! DAVID TENNANT GOT MARRIED! ! Apparently. He's one of the quiet ones. (I'm a weird fangirl; I get so excited about celebs' RL relationships it's not even funny.) Ooh, and Sherlock comes back on Sunday! EEEEP! What else? I know there was something else. ... Can't think of it. Probably not that important. I'm sure you don't care.
ANYWAY! Drabble! So, first Lassie requested rabid fangirls, and then decided she wanted Arwen, and then I flipped through my list, and somehow latched onto the idea of Merlin/Freya. Without Freya actually being involved. My muse is a strange one. Enjoy!

Prompt: Strawberries (Need You Now)
106. Strawberries
Merlin had been unusually quiet the last few days. Arthur would die before admitting it, but he always got a little concerned when Merlin stopped talking and actually did his chores well.
Gwaine was convinced a girl was involved.
Ridiculous notion!
Arthur found his servant sitting against a wall, listlessly spinning something around in his fingers.
"Merlin?"
Merlin looked up, eyes blank. "Yes?"
"What are you—what's that?"
Merlin hastily shoved the thing into his pocket. "Nothing. Did you need something?"
Arthur had managed to catch a glimpse before it disappeared.
It was a strawberry.
Strawberries weren't in season yet.
Cheers!
