Merlin One-Shots

The Wedding

"I'msonervouswhatdoIdoahhelpme!" Merlin rambled on as he paced Arthur's room.

"Merlin, relax," Arthur sighed, approaching his friend. "It's just a wedding." 

"Relax? RELAX?!?" Merlin screamed, twirling around and grabbing Arthur by the shoulders. "I'M MARRYING THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!" He began shaking Arthur violently. "THIS IS GOING TO BE A DISASTER!"

"Merlin! Please!" Arthur begged, grasping Merlin's wrists. "Stop shaking me! Calm down!"

Merlin forcefully let go, which resulted in Arthur falling to the floor. Arthur glared at his friend as Merlin continued to pace. Arthur sighed as he stood up, and stopped Merlin from pacing.

"Come on, let's get you ready," Arthur said, pushing Merlin towards the changing screen. "The wedding is soon."

Merlin began hyperventilating, and almost began crying. Arthur folded his arms and watched with a smile as his friend freaked out. Finally, figuring that this had gone on long enough, Arthur walked up to Merlin, and smacked him.

"OW, what was that for?" Merlin asked, rubbing his face. 

"To calm you down you idiot!" Arthur replied, shoving Merlin behind the changing screen and throwing clothes over the top. "Now, get changed!"

"Prat," Merlin muttered.

"I heard that."

"No, no, no, no..." Morgana muttered as she threw dress after dress over her shoulders.

Gwen cried out as she caught all of the dresses, Freya steading her. 

"Morgana, these dresses are beautiful!" Freya complained, walking over to Morgana. "I would love anyone of these!"

"No, you need something perfect!" Morgana yelled, still throwing dresses until she brought out a final decision. "Aha! Perfect!"

"It's beautiful!" Freya breathed.

The two friends turned when they heard Gwen cry out and fall under the weight of the dresses. 

"Oh, sorry Gwen," Morgana apologized as both her and Freya helped Gwen stand up and get rid of the dresses. 

"Wow, that dress is beautiful!" Gwen exclaimed, feeling the fabric. "And feels comfortable too!"

Freya giggled, and held the dress against her. "I'll wear the necklace that you got me, Morgana."

"Can't wait to see you in it!" Morgana smiled. "Now, come on and get dressed!"

"Okay, calm yourself!" Freya laughed as she stepped behind the changing screen. 

Gwen and Morgana waited for a bit until Freya stepped out from behind the changing screen. 

"It fits perfectly!" they commented.

(This is what the dress with the necklace looks like)

"Thanks!" Freya thanked, smiling.

The three of them jumped when the castle's bells began to toll. Gwen and Morgana gasped in surprise, and looked outside to see a crowd of people slowly move into the castle.

"It's beginning!" Gwen cried out.

"Come on Freya!" Morgana exclaimed, throwing Freya's veil on her head. "It's time!"

"No turning back now," Freya breathed as she fixed her veil and let Morgana and Gwen drag her out of Morgana's room.

"This jacket feels too tight," Merlin whined as he shifted uncomfortably at the altar. 

Arthur rolled his eyes at his friend's whining.

"Just suck it up," Arthur scoffed.

Merlin glared at Arthur, but faced towards the priest when the choir began singing and the guests stood up. Arthur cleared his throat, and jerked his head towards the aisle. Merlin turned his head a little and almost gasped out loud when he saw Freya walking towards him. He quickly turned his head, and soon Freya joined him at the altar. Before them sat two rings, two wine glasses, and two candles on a small table.

"We are here to celebrate to marriage between Merlin and Freya," the priest began. He turned to Merlin. "Now, you can say your vows."

"With this hand, I lift your sorrows," Merlin quoted as he took Freya's hand. He then lifted the two cups and poured one into the other. "Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine." He then placed the cups back onto the table, and lit one candle with the other. "With this candle, I will light your way in darkness." He then set both candles back on the table, and picked up the rings. "With this ring, I ask you to be mine." He slipped the ring onto Freya's finger, while Freya did the same for him.

The crowd rose into applauding while Freya and Merlin kissed. Arthur would never admit it, but he did shed a few tears. 

"I love you, Freya," Merlin whispered when they broke apart.

"I love you too, Merlin," Freya smiled back. 

*And yes, the vows that I used was from Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. That film has a special place in my heart*
