*giggles.* Doing drabbles is so fun! (I don't have to worry about a plot and can write whatever I please.) I can't believe everything I've been missing. Why didn't anyone tell me sooner?
Captain Ozone: Aww, thanks Oz! I was attacked with the feels yesterday night while watching that scene so I know EXACTLY what you mean. :D
Mamzelle Henry: *gasps* I know right? We're getting closer and closer! *is excited.*
April29Roses: I do believe so, my friend. I can't wait!
Title: Turning Pages.
Summary: A ficlet miscellany inspired by random music/desserts/quotes/movies or thoughts. No slash.
Inspiration: Re-watched 4x01 with my sis. It goes without saying that I miss Lancelot. :(
A/N: Who believes Arthur would actually kill Merlin when he finds out? I think that's an extremely outdated probability. The reveal problem has evolved into a 'it would break our friendship' kind of situation, it's not a life or death thing now, is it?
Extremely Unfounded.
Merlin's most used excuse went like this: "Arthur can't know because he would kill me and we all know that if I died he wouldn't last a single week."
Lancelot thought Merlin gave Arthur way less credit than he deserved.
His theory was proven right again when Arthur went bellowing through the castle, demanding where his lazy excuse for a manservant was. With a smile beginning to tug on his lips, Lancelot saw Arthur's eyes cloud with undeniable worry once Gaius told him that Merlin hadn't come home last night and added, for good measure. "I thought he was with you, sire."
Later that night, when Merlin turned up exhausted and holding up a giggling Gwaine, muttering something about 'free ale' Lancelot could not repress a smile at hearing Arthur's familiar: "You are an idiot Merlin." now accompanied with such a relieved expression that he wondered why Merlin hadn't seen it also.
As he watched an incredibly less tense regent sit back and rub a hand through his face, Lancelot shook his head and chuckled softly.
Merlin's worries were extremely unfounded after all.
