                          The double date

       Gwen pov:

  I was walking through the halls when Arthur with Merlin in a lovers embrace and kissing his neck. Oh boy. I thought they  could be caught by someone! But who am I to speak Morgana and I were just like that not too long then again we still are. I walk up and clear my throat to get their attention.

  " Hello you two love birds I'd be careful if I were you. Be glad it was me and not someone else. Or better yet your father himself." I stated.

He lets go of Merlin's red scarf and backs away.

" Hello Gwen, nice to see you too. I thank you for keeping our secret." he says, thanking me.

" Oh no worries, it would be hypocritical of me considering I'm with Morgana." i say.

I see Merlin shuffle his feet nervous. Then smile hearing me admit I'm in love with his twin sister, then laugh out loud.  Stating he knew and that this must be karma for walking in on us kissing. I laugh and bid them farewell.

I continue my walk and find My love crying. I walk up to her asking what's wrong, and I see blood on her gorgeous emerald dress.

" I couldn't save the mother of the baby Gwen. She lost too much blood. I feel like I failed." she cries getting up and wrapping her arms around me.

I hold her and tell her that she didn't fail. that these things happen.   I sit her down and give her a kiss on the cheek and taste her tears. I felt like crying. She felt so horrible. 

I  know I can't completely make her better but I can try.  So I take her to the physicians chambers and give her a kiss goodbye and head home to change into her favorite dress. She loves the yellow one, and I go to find her brother.

  " Hey Merlin I have an idea," I say as I walk up to him at the training area of the castle.

He looks up at me questioningly. " What's the idea Gwen?"

" Morgana is upset and I want to get her mind off what happened today. So how about a double date or picnic this afternoon? I have the day off and your uncle is letting Gana the rest of the day to herself. If Arthur agrees, can we  leave after practice?"

Just then he walks up and asks what's going on so I explain and he agrees. He even agrees to leave early. I smile and head to see Morgana.

    Merlin's pov:

Gwen walks away with a pleased expression. This is going to be an interesting afternoon I think. Arthur looked questioningly at me .

" Morgana had a bad daya mother didn't make it after the birth and Gana blamed herself. So Gwen wants to help her through it."

" Gwen is such a good girlfriend don't you think Mers?" he asks like he's about to make an insult.

" Why aren't you that way for me Merlin?" he stats and there you have it fulks.

I look up at him only because he's taller than me. " cause you're a prat and are mean, if you were nicer i would."

" You really are an idiot. I tease because I love you. And how else am I to toughen you up for the courts when you rule beside me. Plus it's fun and you have great comebacks." he says.

" wait... you want me to rule with you? But I'm not fit to rule, I'm just a commoner who got the prince. And soon you'll learn I'm not fit and leave." I say tears in my eyes as we walk to his room to get him bathed and dressed.

" Merlin, Merlin, Merlin. You are my everything and you are more than fit to rule alongside me, I won't have no one else but you at my side for the rest of my life. Don't you forget that ok. I love you, you idiot. Now come here. I need you here ok. I want you here."

He pulls me in and kisses me with all the love and passion in the world.

Arthur pov:

We are at the clearing and the picnic is going rather well but i can't help but to think i said i love you to Merlin but he never said it back. Does he not love me? Is he scared to love me? Does he love me and feels it's not the right time to say it?

All those questions and more are running through my head. So I go for a walk and about two steps into the woods. I hear footsteps and I turn to look. It's Merlin.

He looks at me and says," Arthur, I love you. I know I never said it to your face in your room but I do. I'm sorry i neer did say it then but I was scared. Scared it was a joke. But I know now that its not I'm not. And I'm sorry.

I wordlessly grabbed his hand and squeezed lightly. And we go for a walk.

Morgana's pov:

I Watched my brother follow the prince into the woods and knew they needed their alone time. I turn to look at Gwen and smile.

" You know you're too perfect right, and that I love you right? And I can think of no one I'd rather spend the rest of my life with but you. I wonder if we will be having a double wedding soon wont we?"

" Are you proposing my love cause if so it's a yes." she says, grabbing my hand and kissing it.

I smile and nod yes I was. On cloud nine that I would be getting married at nineteen.

The boys come back and Arthur gets on his knees and says " Merlin you know I spoke of you ruling with me so i ask will you do the honor of marrying me? "

I was right, there will be a double wedding but only if Merlin says yes.

" of course you prat i'll marry you." merlin say as he pulls Arthur up and kisses him. Looks like to day is a blessed day.

We clean up and head for the castle,  Smiles on our faces.

Hello my dears, yes there was a double proposal,  but I couldn't help it I just ran with it.
