Change-Mergwaine

Requests are welcomed and accepted, not all will be written as I want to write my own ideas too but I will try. :)

By the way, I don't know anyone's ages so in my mind these are the ages

Leon, Arthur and Percival - 26

Gwaine, Lancelot - 24/5

Merlin , Elyan - 22/3 

(Merlins been working for Arthur for 6ish years, Uthers been dead for 2ish years, the knights have known each other 2/3 years)

...

(3rd POV)

The knights, King and Merlin were on a hunting trip. Merlin's favourite thing to do. Not. But Arthur thought going hunting was a good way to de-stress and raise the moral of the group. The kingdom had been very busy of late, and the stress had been getting to all out them. "Merin, don't look so glum, at least try to enjoy yourself," Arthur commented. 

"Well I'll look like I'm enjoying myself when I actually am. I don't like Killing innocent animals for sport the way you lot seem to. Hunting for food, that's fine, But for fun? Yeah I don't think so," Merlin retorted.

"Ever the girl Merlin," Arthur and a few of the knights laughed, though only one noticed Merlin cringing at the wording. Gwaine saw, wondering why.

They continued their unofficial hunting routine; spotting an animal, lining up the shot, Merlin usually causing a noise, animal running away and Arthur glaring at him. "Can't you ever be quiet and not trip over your feet or fumble every 3 seconds?" Arthur said, obviously beginning to get annoyed at Merlin.

"Well sorry that me hurting myself is inconvenient to you," Merlin replied sarcastically, "That one however, wasn't me, sire"

"Sorry sire that one was me, my horse spooked," Leon apologised. Arthur just nodded and they moved on.

They hadn't gone far when Merlin's magic alerted him to a a threat amongst the trees. "Arthur wait, there's something out there," he pointed in the direction his magic had alerted him to.

"Are you su-" Arthur didn't even get to finish his sentence, before bandits surrounded them. Its always bloody bandits. Within a second, all of the knights were on the ground with their swords drawn. They were out numbered three to one. However that had never been a problem before. Merlin moved towards a massive tree while the others began fighting. The sound of metal on metal and shouts were all merlin could hear. His magic had been bubbling barely below the surface for the past few days, causing him to become clumsier as he tried to contain it. He finally felt the relief of allowing it to be free. Branches fell on bandits who were sneaking up on his friends, sword hilts grew hot, bandits tripped over. He knocked a few unconscious, knocking some over and making others fly backwards. They were winning. Though that was unsurprising as they were the best swordsmen in Camelot and the most powerful warlock ever.

Suddenly Merlin felt a sharp pain about his left hip causing him to let out a shout of pain, falling to the ground. A bandit had shot him. The Knights noticed him drop, finishing off the bandits before rushing to Merlin's side. "Merlin!" Gwaine yelled at him. They surrounded him as Gwaine dropped to his knees beside Merlin.

"I need clean water, Merlin's first aid kit from his bag and a clean rag," Gwaine instructed them, using some of the medical knowledge he'd picked up from Merlin. Gwaine helped Merlin lay down on the ground, "Merlin, I need you to keep your eyes open for me, you need to stay awake."

"I...I know, but...I can't it- it's too sore," Merlin stutters. Before passing out in pain. Gwaine sighed as he took the tag from Leon and pressed it to Merlin's lower abdomen to stop the blood flow.
