*BOOM* 

You ran through the lower town of Camelot, clamouring against the tidal wave of people running in the opposite direction. With your heart in your throat you begged the world that everything was okay. He couldn't have messed up that bad... right? He just has to distract  Arthur until i got back. It couldn't have gone THAT wrong. What am i thinking, of COURSE Merlin could mess up that bad! 

Smoke overtook the entrance to the stables. Fires blazed throughout the different stalls as horses darted away, barely avoiding the knights trying to find Arthur and Merlin. You frantically searched the surrounding area looking for them. Where the hell could they be? they can't have just vanished!   Running and running you continued to look around you before in a small alcove, in the side of the castle Merlin sat blackened and singed with Arthur unconsciously resting in his lap. At least the king doesn't look too banged up. 

"MERLIN!!! What the hell where you thinking? You were meant to DISTRACT! Not KILL! my god Merlin! SMALL FIRE! I said to set a Small Fire. This is NOT a small fire!"

Merlin coughed harshly into his hands before slumping into the wall. You dress tore as you skidded on your knees in front of him hands hovering over his chest unsure of what to do.

"Im so sorry! I didn't mean to! It was just meant to be a small fire!" 

You sighed in annoyance. God he can be so stupid sometimes! 

  "So you decided to set a small fire inside of the stables full of HAY?! Merlin your suppose to be smarter than this" You put his face in your hands as you leaned over him subtly checking him over for any signs of injury other than the obvious smoke inhalation.    

"I know, I know. Not one of my best plans but hey! At least he was distracted. There's no need to shout i think I've had enough punishment."

Your eyes shone with un-shed tears as his slim frame was wracked with harsh coughs once more.

"Im sorry for shouting but i was so worried. You have to understand Merlin, you mean so much to me i wouldn't be able to function if you left me." Bowing your head tears began to fall down your face, despite your efforts to stop them, dripping onto an unconscious Arthur who began to slowly open his eyes.

"Hey, hey! Don't cry. Im sorry for worrying you! Im fine see?" Merlin stretched his arms out to the side and held them towards you gesturing to himself. You could tell he was barely containing a groan of pain. 
"See? perfectly fine. It's the prat you should be worrying about. Im not the unconscious one am i?"  Sending you a wink his face split into a large grin.

"I suppose that's true" You said distractedly inching closer towards him until you could feel the ghost of his breath on your face. He smelled like smoke but in that moment you couldn't have cared less. You were just glad he was okay. Stopping as your noses touched and your eyes closed, you hesitated, having never done anything like this before. His eyes widened comically before sliding shut, his hand rose gently before resting against your cheek, brushing away the tears. Closing the distance between you your lips brushed against each others. It was everything you imagined it would be, just like Merlin it was loving, sweet and gentle.  The world around you faded into nothing as you melted into his embrace, all that mattered, and that existed was Merlin and yourself tangled in each other's arms. 

"Excuse me MERlin. But i find it very very innapropriate to kiss a pretty girl on top of your king so if you dont mind i would much appreciate it if you GOT OFF OF ME NOW!"
