Jealousy

Jealousy Part 4

If Merlin hadn't known better he would have sworn that he could see tears trying to break the barrier of Arthur's eyes. But he did know better. Thoughts were racing through his mind. Pride first, Arthur only wanted what was best for his kingdom. Then happiness, Arthur had accepted him. He had accepted his magic and incredulity...Arthur was definitely not The Once and Future King, he was The Once and Always Idiot!

"You do not want....What? I have already found the Once and Future King!" Merlin snapped

"you have? Then you must go help him! Albion needs to be united. It is a noble cause. Bring peace to all of the five kingdoms" Arthur's voice cracked

"I agree sire..."

"What doe she look like Merlin? The Once and Future King? I mean, will he be kind to my people? If I am no longer king I do not want them to suffer at his hands. Though with you as an adviser, i think it will be fine" Arthur sighed.

"Was that a compliment Sire? I will not hold this against you-yet. The Once and Future King is an annoying prat. He is fair and kind, though he is a bit thick sometimes. He is a very good knight. He is about yeea high, could loose a little weight....should I continue or do you get the idea?"

Arthur blinked at the sorcerer. Anger ran through him when he shouted 

"So all these years of friendship were just practice? Just so you could help him! How could y..."

It's YOU! You are The Once and Future Turnip Headed King, you moron"

Merlin interrupted Arthur with his yell, and walked away from him.  He could not believe how thick Arthur was sometimes!

Gwaine, who was eavesdropping from the door jerked away as Merlin shoved open the door. He then looked at his friend and smirked "Ah jealousy- thy name is Arthur Pendragon"

Merlin simply glared at him and left to cool off.

Gwaine then popped his head trough the door, "Sire I think Merlin forgot something in his description of The Once and Future King..." Arthur raised an eyebrow and scoffed as Gwaine continued "...he is also very territorial!"

Before Arthur could kill him, Gwaine closed the door and ran away.
