Merthur - Dreams come true

Merlin was tired and annoyed his week had not been going so well, first there was the fact that he had spooked off another one of Arthur's prized hunts so he was sent to muck the stables and then later Gaius wanted the leech tank cleaned for the second time that day, next was the stupid witch who thought she could put Arthur under a love spell AND Uther in hopes the father and son would battle for affection causing the one of them to be killed and the other for her to marry luckily Merlin was able to put a stop to her. That had also added to Merlin's mood since he still never got any credit not even Gaius would take pity on him.

Now Merlin had to rush back in the middle of the night in Camelot to Arthur's bed chamber because he had left Arthur's boots that he had to clean and sew there. Merlin was really beginning to notice how far Arthur's chamber were now from Gaius's room. What soon felt like ages to Merlin he finally reached Arthurs bed chambers. Standing in front of the wooden doors that were lit by a candle on each end if the doors Merlin tried to calm his annoyance and frustration so he could sneak in and sneak out quickly and quietly. He did not need another absurd reason to be in Arthur's bed chambers at an ungodly hour.

Thankfully this was for his actual manservant chores and not another threat on the prat's life. Those seemed to be never ending to Merlin at this rate he was begging for time off but Arthur being the clot pole he was denied poor abused and used Merlin well that was how Merlin had put it and Arthur had given a big laugh how he seemed to spend his entire time at the Tavern.

Once Merlin could feel himself start to calm down, he slowly and attempted to be as quiet as he could as he slid the one wooden door open a jar. Peeking inside Merlin could see darkness and a few shapes here and there. Arthur was asleep.

Opening the door wide enough to fit in and close behind him softly Merlin made his way to the cupboard where he had left the dirty, torn boots standing. Tiptoeing well attempting to tiptoe Merlin reached the boots, grabbed them and began to head towards the doors to make his great escape.

"Merlin..." He froze once he heard the prince's voice speak his name. Turning slowly around he looked towards the spot where the bed was that the prince lay in. Merlin was waiting for him to say his typical 'What are you doing Merlin?' and he was trying to come up with a brilliant excuse this time but realized he will just admit he forgot the boots and Arthur would call him useless and he would be on his way.

It never happened.

Merlin waited and waited but Arthur never said anything except a moan came from him. Merlin was now curious as to what had caused Arthur to say his name in his sleep. Steeping quietly towards the bed where the prince lay sleeping he heard Arthur moan his name this time. Now really being confused and curious Merlin finally reached the sleeping prince. Arthur lay on his stomach his blankets laying at his waist and his face was half pressed into the pillow he lay on with it facing towards Merlin own face.

Merlin knelt down to level with Arthur's face he could make out the blonde hair and a flush on his face, "Merlin, please..." Merlin decided this was not helping him so he decided to use magic to see what was going on in Arthur's dreams. Raising his arm above Arthur's head he whispered the spell to see what lay in the dream world.

What Merlin saw made a spark of pleasure go down his spine and he pulled away quickly.

Arthur was dreaming of making love to Merlin.

Merlin knew they had been playing a bit of cat and mouse with each other's feelings from the jealousy of the pretty princesses trying to woe Arthur to the protectiveness of making sure Merlin stayed his manservant for life. But seeing this now changed things completely. Arthur truly wanted him mind, body and soul. Merlin knew he felt the exact same. Screw Uther Pendragon and his tyranny, screw witches and other magical beings trying to kill them both or just the one, screw morgana and her insanity, screw everything.

Arthur wanted him and him alone.

Happiness spread through Merlin's chest and he could feel excitement at his new discovery. He could not wait until he could talk with Arthur, hell he was even tempted to wake Arthur now but then an evil idea struck him. Merlin week had been terrible but Arthur had been having a ball so why not some revenge, thought Merlin.

Going back into Arthurs dream he decided he could assist with a bit of magic to make Merlin happy with their roles and possibly keep an open mind for Arthur.

Arthur Pendragon was what one would call a typical alpha male so obviously he would assume control in their relationship but Merlin thought a change of pace would do Arthur's ego some good. Grinning to himself Merlin went got to work on his plan for revenge.

In the morning Merlin strolled into Arthurs bed chambers with his tray for breakfast, "Rise and shine!" he sang as he ripped the curtains open and turned around to face a groggy looking Prince trying to wake up.

"Your bloody chipper this morning Merlin."

"Well sire I slept wonderfully!"

"Really? How?"

"On top!"

"What?!" a deep flush made it to the half-awake prince who was now fully awake after registering Merlin's words and the dream he had of Merlin and their very different than usual love making dream.

"Well I felt as if I slept on top of the world sire." Replied Merlin with a smug tone knowing he had gotten Arthur right where he wanted. "How did you sleep Arthur?" Merlin knew how he slept but wanted to make the prince squirm a bit more.

The flush deepened on the prince's face contrasting with the ocean blue eyes Merlin loved.

Giving a cough "It was umm desirable I guess..."

"Dream anything nice sire?"

Arthur's eyes widened at that before shaking his head mumbling and audible no.

Arthur finally rose from the bed and headed to get dressed with Merlin's assistance and then eat breakfast. Once that was done Arthur asked if Merlin had done his boots to which Merlin replied yes and that they were in his room awaiting the royal stinky feet.

Arthur scowled at that comment before telling Merlin he was useless and to go fetch them.

"Of course my lord," Merlin gave a mock bow, "but sire before I go I must do one thing."

This picked the blondes interest and he looked towards the raven haired man to only have warm lips against his own. Arthur sat there flabbergasted trying to register what was happening. Merlin smiled against his lips with smugness. Arthurs temper rose at the smugness. What was did Merlin know? He asked himself as Merlin pulled off of Arthur promising him a repeat when he got back.

Arthur still could not figure out the smugness when Merlin got back but it was a start of a beautiful comedic romance and well Merlin thought he could tell Arthur about his magic later as he made love to the wonderful man he had fallen for.
