Timeless

"That's not a gecko."

"Oh god." Merlin says and everything in the room starts vibrating fast and Arthur looks around, his panic mixed with Merlin's is probably not good at all right now. "This is not good. Not good at all." He says and random stuff starts bursting and shattering everywhere because Merlin is beyond scared and panicked.

"Hey we'll find it. We have to." Arthur says and him and Merlin share a look before Merlin bolts away and goes to search again for the creature.

They have to find it before someone else does. Someone like Holly.

He doesn't even want to think of what would happen if Clary found it first.

The door opens and Merlin closes his eyes and curses.

"So I got some stuff. Like just my clothes for tonight and tomorrow. I'll need to go and get just a few other things after." She says walking to the living room and more stuff has shattered because of the panic coming from Merlin. Like picture frames and vases and really anything glass.

'Oh god please let my eyes be blue and not gold.' He silently prays as he turns to look back at Holly.

"Didn't think you'd be back so soon..." He says biting his lip and glancing around.

She looks to where Merlin is looking but sees nothing. "Yeah..... Anyway I had time to think of what your uh friend said.... he was right. It wasn't right of me to joke about something so serious. Even thought I don't know what it is myself." She says then adds as Merlin keeps looking around. "Merlin what are you doing? Are you looking for something?" She asks coming over to Merlin. She looks around the room and frowns. "Why is stuff broken?" She looks at Merlin as if he'll tell her.

"We are looking for a... a lizard. Someone called and said there lizard got lose and asked us to look for it, see if it came over here." He says and she nods her head, believing Merlin.

"Oh cool what kind of lizard?" She asks as she goes over to the supply closet and grabs out the broom and dustpan to clean up the broken pieces of glass and stuff.

Well shit didn't think of that part. "Um a gecko." He says.

A gecko. Really?

"Merlin I can't find it." Arthur says coming up the stairs and you can tell he's just as stressed at Merlin because he looks like crap and his hair is all over the place. "Holly. You're back so soon."

"Yeah. So you're looking for a gecko. I'll help." She says shrugging her shoulders and puts the broom against the wall with the dustpan still attached to it. "I'll look up stairs." She tells them before heading up the stairs and Merlin lets out a breath of air he didn't realize he was holding in.

"Okay she's gone looking for a gecko so that leaves up to look for what's really important." Merlin says and uses his magic and lifts everything up in the air and Arthur stares with wide eyes.

Just ignoring how Arthur doesn't even know what a damn gecko is.

"Holy crap Merlin." Arthur says as Merlin looks under everything and even looks in the air in case he lifted the creature into the air.

Nothing.

He growls as he puts everything down with a bang that makes Arthur jump. "God damn it!" He shouts.

Foot steps come from upstairs and just after, Holly is at the bottom of the stairs looking concerned and confused. "You okay? What was that bang?" She asks and looks around before coming over to Merlin who has his eyes closed and Arthur knows his eyes are golden.
