Peter ends up at Merlin's dimension

Chapter 12

The silence was a bit more awkward and it wasn't even Mordred's fault but him. His mind just had so many things that he hadn't even realized that he had zoned out.

"Oh. Sorry. I zoned out there. So -um-..."

He trailed off sheepishly. Mordred by now was sitting on the chair and chuckled amusingly.

"It's fine. I guess you have much to think of."

This seemed to be the rolling for the conversation and they start to talk about many things. Peter by now felt more comfortable with the said teen and he was quite happy to have another person who was his age and not older. It was alright having older people with you, but it was nice having some. There was some kind of understanding between them, like more than he felt with Merlin.

It was the third day since he got back. And he was getting nervous. This was the first time since he got shrunken that he was back at training. There was as well the fact that Merlin had to use that spell again. As he was flinching at any contact and getting more anxious. This time it took a day and he was so grateful. He as well had to talk about what his kid self told them.

Skip...

That name was something that he buried deep, and his memory decided to make him forget this. But as he shrunk it was not even a week that Skip accident had happened. And it wasn't just once but more than one. Until he had the courage to tell his Aunt and Uncle. It was a dark time not just for him but for both of his family. It was one of the reasons why he avoided anyone who was the same gender then him.

Even his Uncle. It changed with the time and a year later he met Ned. A year later these memories were forgotten by him. And he was so glad for Merlin. So glad that he had a spell like this. Without this, he wouldn't know how to deal with it.

So the next few days everything quiets down, until Gwaine, Merlin, Mordred were in his and Gwaine's room playing truth or dare in the evening.

It was obvious that Gwaine was planning something and it was still a bit early in the night. Peter was feeling nervous about this, as he knew what Gwaine could cause, but then again he wasn't any different. He loved to cause mischief and he was itching to prank someone, but so far he hadn't. The last time he had done, had ended at him first at the stocks and then later on having to work as a servant for a week. It was quite hard work, but he wasn't minding it and was quite happy that he could help out and see how it was working as a servant.

Mordred was just here and mostly quiet. He knew by now that he wasn't that much of a talker, but that made him endearing. It was actually quite cute how he was sometimes shy and reserved. This thought process was something that he sometimes got and he always was puzzled where that came from. Anywho, his attention shifted back to the truth or dare game. Peter felt a bit bad now, knowing that right now it was Merlin's turn, and the said male choose dare. Forgetting that it was Gwaine's turn to choose what merlin would do as a dare.

"I dare you tomorrow at knights training to walk upon Arthur causing a scene. With something on the lines 'How dare you to leave me alone yesterday evening. I was really lonely and did think I mean something to you.'"

His mouth opened but closing it again. This was not a good idea, but a dare was a dare. Mordred started to look interested as good amusement shone on his expression.

"Damn you Gwaine. Fine a dare is a dare. But when something goes south I am faulting you."

He snickered now and a shit-eating grin was not just on him but on Gwaine. Let's just say tomorrow would be quite interesting.

"Alright, truth, or dare Mordred?"

It was Merlin's turn and he was feeling nervous now. Something told him that this will involve him.

"Dare, do your worst."

He said with a smirk and god his gut told him that it will be something embarrassing. And he was right as Merlin said...

"You wanted the worst, so you will get my worst. I dare you to kiss Peter on the cheek."

His eyes widen as he gaped now at Merlin and the said male just looked innocently at him. This was for sure revenge for him snickering. Mordred glanced at him and he let out a sigh.

You alright with this?

Mordred's voice rang through his mind and he smiled softly and giving a nod. There was the usual between the two.

Sorry in advance

It's fine. Don't worry about it. It's not a kiss on my lips.

The thought made him feel odd and his cheeks felt hot now. With this, Peter knew he was flustered. Mordred leaned in and he felt something soft on his cheeks. The feeling left as soon as it came and god was he feeling embarrassed and shy? What the hell is going on?

"There now your turn Gwaine truth or dare?"

It was this time Mordred's turn to make Gwaine either ask or do something and he decided to give Mordred an idea.

I know that Lancy and Gwaine have a crush but they both just don't want to admit it. Let's help them out. Make Gwaine do something with this.

He sent over and Mordred nodded at this. Gwaine was having a thoughtful look and he guessed the male was trying to think what the best option would be...

"Dare."

Mordred and he mirrored a shit-eating grin and with this Gwaine knew that something would come to him.

"I dare you to do the same thing with Lancelot, that you wanted Merlin to do."

He was feeling giddy now and the Gwaine let out a groan at this but was accepting it.

"Alright. I know when I would decline there would be just something worse. I think it is time to sleep now. We have to get up early again."

Everyone agrees and they made their way back to their sleeping place. Other than himself and Gwaine. He wasn't really liking sleeping alone. Merlin suddenly came back around 10 minutes later.

"Sorry, I forgot something. Here I thought this would help you sleep."

His eyes wide as he saw that Merls suddenly making a rather big teddy bear appear. It looked fluffy, black, and had the same eye color then Mordred had.

"I made this because I know you had trouble sleeping since your back to your height."

A bright smiled soon appeared as he took the teddy bear in his arms and he was so grateful. Once again it was shown how much Merlin cared for him.

"Thank you. I will take good care of it."

Merlin smiled softly as ruffling his hair. A pout was playing on his cheeks as Merlin did this.

"Don't worry about it. The teddy won't get destroyed that easy. I have put a protection spell on it. So that the color and all stays how it is."

Merlin walked out again and he slipped under the cover and hugging the teddy bear tightly. It took not too long until he dozed off. His night rest was dreamless and well-rested.
