Friendship 7: Cheery Mornings

"Rise and shine Sire!" Merlin cheerily hollered and yanked the long tapestry open allowing warm buttery gold sunlight to filter into the Prince's chambers. Merlin hummed and set out the food on the Prince's breakfast tray and went on to pick out the Arthur's clothes.

"Why are you so damn cheery?" Arthur groaned in his royal bed and buried his head under the covers. He didn't get to enjoy the blissfulness of sleep because Merlin yanked the bed sheets away and was forcefully pulling Arthur out of his bed. "Alright, alright, I'm awake you idiot,"

"Good to know, sire," Merlin rolled his eyes and began whistling as he made Arthur's bed. Arthur stared; he was too cheery, even more than his usually annoying cheer.

"Merlin…why the hell are you smiling like that?" Arthur asked baffled. Merlin raised an eyebrow at the Prince's annoyance and pointed out the window.

"It's just a beautiful day is all. Camelot hasn't been attacked for a few months now, and the sun is shining awfully bright. Oh and look there! There are dancing bards in the city. Look! That man just swung a woman in the air. Oh and the children are pelting another poor sod in the stocks. Ha, He probably deserved it," Merlin spoke with light cheeriness and warm glow in his eyes. His enthusiasm intrigued Arthur enough to stare out his bedroom chambers into the courtyard below.

Sure enough, Merlin was right. It was beautiful day and streets were bustling with the people. It seemed that Merlin wasn't the only one in a good mood though; there was a lot of smiles and laughter coming from the court yard. It was truly a humbling sight. Had it not been for Merlin, Arthur probably would have never noticed. But know he did. He wanted things to be in Camelot like this always. He wanted his people to be happy like this.

Arthur smiled as another piece of his dream of the Camelot he would create added itself to the puzzle.
