A/N written for Merlin Bingo square M3 - Revenge
Merlin glanced around the corner, taking deep, silent breaths as he watched and waited. The cloaked figure finally appeared, just as Merlin knew he would.
A couple of whispered words later, and Merlin was all but invisible, the crunch of the snow under his boots muffled by his silencing spell.
Under the dark of night, it took all of Merlin's concentration to stay focussed on the dark figure in front of him, trailing his footsteps as they made their way out of Camelot and into the forest.
At one point the figure turned around, but Merlin was already behind a tree, watching as they turned and continued their walk through the woods.
Finally, they stopped by a small stream, pulling off their gloves, dipping their hands into the water, cupping them as they brought their hands up to their face.
Merlin saw his chance.
Before the figure even noticed something was wrong, Merlin shoved his hand, full of the crisp, icy snow, down the figure's back, leaning into whisper, "This is revenge for the other night.", before sprinting off, cackling with glee as he left Lancelot spluttering.
Oh, Merlin knew that Lancelot would definitely get him back for this, but he didn't care.
It had been worth it.
