Merthur~Matchmaking

Chapter 9

POSSIBLE TW: MENTIONS OF MURD3R

NO ONE IS MURD3R3D BUT IT DOES MENTION IT

I WILL PUT A TW RIGHT BEFORE THOUGH AND IT IS NOT IMPORTANT TO THE STORY.

Long chapters? What are those? Anyway here's the next part.

////////////////////////////////

3rd Person POV

It was the middle of the day. The sun was shining in Camelot. The market place was a lot busier and noisier as people bumped into each to get to where they need to be. It was a perfect day...

"To get murdered," thought Gwaine as he approached the other knights. He had to do this. It would definitely get him killed. However, it was for a greater good. This was the final test and the knights' only chance at getting Merlin and Arthur together.

"Alright, it's time. It was nice knowing you Gwaine," said Elyan patting him on the back

"You want be forgotten. You'll go down in history as the bravest knight there was," added Percival.

"Thank you guys. You were the best friends I could hope for,"
Replied Gwaine, wiping (fake) tears from his eyes.

He started walking to the training grounds where the other two were. He looked back at the knights of the round table. They gave him a thumbs up as he saluted them one last time.

He turned back around and continued ahead. He could see a mop of golden and black hair in the distance. He walked to the edge where the two were and stopped right in front of them. The two stopped their conversation.

"Hey Gwaine, what's up?" Asked poor innocent Merlin, no clue as to what will happen in a matter of moments.

"Here goes nothing," Thought Gwaine. This was it, no turning back. He grabbed Merlins chin with his hand and pulled him closer until their lips were touching. He placed his other hand in his hip for 5 second before they parted. Merlin's lips were the slightest bit swollen and you could mistake his face for a tomato.

Gwaine looked over at Arthur. He was glaring at Gwaine with such  intensity that if looks could kill, Gwaine would be removed from the face of the earth, ceese(is that how you spell it?? I dont-) to exist.

"You have 5 seconds to run," Glowerd Arthur in a bone-chilling tone. Gwaine took his one chance of life and bolted faster than a flying dragon. Stalls, people, animals were all blurs to Gwaine as he ran with a furious Arthur behind him. He could see the knights try to calm down the king but their efforts were in vain as the king easily pushed them out the way.

He made it inside the castle. His legs were on fire and his heart felt like it would pop out of his chest at any moment. He couldn't breathe. He needed to stop for air but if he did, he would be dead meat but if he didn't, he would stop breathing either way. He run to an empty corridor to catch his breathe. As he was regaining his breathe, hand on the wall, he could hear Arthur coming closer and closer. He started running again until the end of the corridor.

However, when he got closer to the end, he realised he'd run into a dead end. This was it. There was no escaping the wrath of Arthur. He turned his head from side to side, until he saw it. His saviour, his hope. A room. Hopefully it had a lock because Arthur was coming dangerously close.

He entered the room but had no time to close it as Arthur burst int the room, causing Gwaine to scrabble across the the floor.

"Sire, look-listen-I'm sorry-I didn't mean it- I helped you defeat beasts-we're friends right?" Gwaine rabbled and tried to reason with the king. (TW MENTION OF MURD3R) Maybe trying to get some mercy before he would inevitably get murdered by the king.

"Yeah, but you threw that away when you kissed my man- Merthur Matchmaking Club? What the hell is Merthur Matchmaking Club?" Said the king.

Gwaine turned around. There, in all it's glory was his banner. He must of forgotten to take it down.

"Well you see-" started Gwaine before he was interrupted by Merlin and the knights. All were expecting Gwaine to be dead by now so it came as a shock when they found him still alive. Unfortunately, Merlin also noticed the banner.

"Um, Gwaine would you like to explain? Please?"

////////////////////////////////

Soon, Merlin and Arthur were sitting down in front of the knights, who were skirming in their spots.

"Well? Is anyone going to explain to me what the hell this is?" Inquired a still raging Arthur.

"Fine I'll do it," Spoke Elyan,"Four months ago, me and the other knights were getting sick and tired of your sexual tension so during a hunting trip, we came up with loads of ideas to try and get you together but none of them worked. So, yesterday, Gwaine thought of a plan that would get you two to realise that you two are madly in love and made for each other," Summarised Elyan in one breathe.

"That's it? That's why Gwaine kissed Merlin?" Said Arthur in disbelief.

"What? That's not good enough for you, princess?" Asked Gwaine a little hurt.

"Guys, I've been courting Merlin for six months now,"

And that's chapter 9.

So sorry to leave on a cliffhanger(not) but I am getting two weeks off of school on Friday so expect the new chapters coming soon.

This isn't proof-reads, so there may be some mistakes(I've got to stop writing at night)

I think there will be a one more chapter and there may be a prologue. Not sure yet is to do them as two separate chapters or do two in one.
Bye losers✌️
