I'm going to try to make as many chapters as I can!

POV:Merlin

"I see why you never want to get out of bed" and with that Arthur chuckled. I tried to forget about the bizarre dream that had just happened and began to move Arthur's arm from around my waist. He was still in a trance of sorts (he's never been a morning person) before getting up to get his breakfast but before I left I made sure to take one more glance.

I don't know what came over me but seeing him quite vulnerable and dazed sent a burning sensation to my cheeks and went to quickly walk out of his chambers before he saw how red my cheeks were becoming. But I don't understand the word swift, meaning as soon as I turned around I tripped on my own feet sending me crashing to the ground I landed on my arms a quickly looked around to see if Arthur saw me I don't know what I was thinking, I landed that hard that I'm pretty sure the whole castle heard me. Just as I suspected Arthur was sitting upright smirking at me obvious trying to hold in his laughs "I'm alright" I said sarcastically and gave him a quick smile before collecting his breakfast.

"Ugh I'm so stupid, why are you thinking these things about him, clumsy clumsy Merlin" I kept whispering to myself as I was walking. I kept my head down and didn't realise that I was in for a collision with Gwen and walked straight into her "oh Gwen I'm awfully sorry" I mumbled "Merlin?" She said "are you quite alright you were mumbling to yourself?" "Yes! Yes I'm fine thanks Gwen just busy today Arthur has a tournament today and I forgot to clean his armour" which wasn't a complete lie he did have a tournament "Oh Merlin you'd better hurry up and do it other wise he won't be very happy!" I gave her a weak smile and a nod before explaining I needed to get his breakfast and she whispered good luck in my ear before I heard her footsteps getting quieter.

POV: Arthur

I fully awoke when I heard a rather large bang and glanced over the bed to see Merlin on the floor. I tried my best not to laugh but my attempts failed as I kept snorting and he walked off quick I couldn't help but think he's just so clumsy and so perfect. But I can't keep thinking like that it's obvious he doesn't like me back.

Merlin took a while to get back with my food that I was absolutely ravishing by the time he took to get it. I sat and ate and taking secret glancing at him every so often and sometimes catching him staring at me back. I could have sworn I saw his cheeks getting redder but it's most likely my imagination wanting things that could never happen.

"Merlin I have my tournament today as I hope your brain has fully remembered" I said and smirked at the end "yes sire I did remember I'm surprised you do, you know being the clotpole you are and all" Merlin came back with he gave a light laugh before grabbing the armour to get me ready I took off my night shirt which left my upper body bare and smirked slightly when I saw Merlin trying not to look.

POV:Merlin

I took off Arthur's shirt and tried desperately not to get flushed or to even look. I shouldn't nay, I couldn't be thinking such things of the future king. But all I wanted to do right there right then was to run my hands over his chest it was ever so toned and beautiful. But I tried to put his armour on as quick as possible making quite a few mistakes and dropping most of the armour on the floor. And getting a few snide remarks of "pray tell Merlin is your brain not fully functioning this morning" or "you really are a girls petticoat Merlin" but I knew he was joking as for the whole time a smile was plastered upon his face.

When we got to the castle grounds I stood with Gaius watching the scene from a far. Arthur looked unremarkably amazing when he was fighting. I'm always on edge because I wouldn't forgive myself if something awful was to happen. Because he's my best friend but, he was up against Eldor Son of Athelious. Eldor was definitely not going down with out a fight and was rather good a great competition for Arthur but Arthur kept look toward me almost to make sure I was okay? It was bizarre ordeal and because of this he was loosing. I couldn't watch so I remembered I knew a spell to weaken thou opponent Helthis Gwindard i mumbled my eyes flashed gold.

But as soon as my eye flashed gold Arthur glanced at my direction. And slowed down I was terrified that he know so I looked down and refused to make eye contact. Arthur went on to win the tournament. My heart couldn't stop beating the whole time. What if he saw he would kill me? I'm going to have to leave Camelot for good?
