Like Romeo and Juliet (Merthur)

5

And so the prince and knights of Camelot were dragged in to dance the Brawle.

During the dances, they changed many partners. The knights would often end up pulled by random women and men until it was time to change again. The cheerful dances went on and on. Laughter and heavy breathing from the guests could be heard all throughout the ballroom.

Just as the last song ended, new dance partners were formed.

Leon was getting a bit hot from dancing too much but his knight training helped. Soon he was pared of with another woman. She had gorgeous black locks, pale skin and wore a black mask that highlighted her bright green eyes. She offered him a friendly smile. Yeah, dancing didn't seem so bad.

Percival was pared of with a young lady that barely reached his chest. Elyan on the other hand was tired and ready for some sleep. He was pared of with a woman wearing a coral mask, she seemed familiar somehow.

And to Arthur's dismay, he was pared of with a man that was just a bit taller than him. Not just any man however, the man that had kissed him earlier. He would recognize those eyes anywhere, plus, he was wearing the same white mask.

"You again!"
"Pardon?"
"Don't touch me! Find someone else!" Exclaimed Arthur slapping the other mans hand away.

"You don't have to be an ass"
"How dare you! Don't you know who I am?!" He said. Like an idiot.
"No. I don't. That's the whole point of the masks. Also, I wouldn't care anyways"

Arthur looked at the man with narrowed eyes until they widened in realization. He's supposed to be undercover!

"Anyways. Everyone seems to already have a partner so you're stuck with me, prat" said Merlin looking at the rude man before him. Before Arthur could reply the music started. They then realized which dance this was. Lavolta.

"You do the girl part" stated Arthur while positioning himself besides him. "Wha-no. We'll take turns!"
"I'm clearly stronger! I doubt you could carry me" the blonde man said.
"I'm stronger than I seem. We're switching, that's final"

"Whatever. Turniphead"
"Prat
"Idiot"

Arthur lifted Merlin while twirling.

"Clotpole"
"That's not even a word"
"Of course it is"
"Really? Define clotpole"
"In one word?"
"Hmm"
"You"

Arthur gave a small laughed in disbelief. He's never been called such things before. The blue eyed man with the white mask gave a small chuckle. They bantered a bit more while dancing. And just a Merlin had declared, they switched dancing positions.

"So..."
"So?" Merlin looked a the blonde man with a red mask

"Do you usually kiss random strangers at balls or...?" Smirked the blonde.
"No! That was you?!" The other asked while flushing red.
"Yup"
"I'm so sorry!"

Just then, Merlin lifted Arthur up and twirled him making it look effortless. The blonde prince was caught by surprise and nearly fell on his face while being brought down.

"It was a dare from my idiot friend Gwaine. Honest!"
"I'm sure it was"
"I'm serious! We were playing truth or dare to pass the time"
"Somehow I'm not convinced"
"Wha-"
"I mean. I can hardly blame you, me and my good looks can be hard to resist"
Merlin snort, "Right. And your great personality too?"
Arthur smacked him upside the head. The other chuckled in response.

Merlin looked at the blonde man in the eyes. They're a nice blue. "Well, what's your name stranger?"

Arthur debated whether or not to tell him his real name. He chose to only give his first name.
"Arthur"

"Merlin"

Yes. I added Elizabethan dances.
Also, how's this story coming along?
