I waited in the library for about ten minutes before Merlin came round the corner.

I was looking at a book on all towns and villages in England.

"You wanted to see me?" He asked.

"Uther has decided to put up more guard to defend Camelot from magic." I whispered.

"Why are you telling me this?" Merlin asked.

"It's a warning. You need to be more careful. I'm actually surprised that no one has found out about your magic yet. Considering the first day I met you, I watched you use it." I raised an eyebrow.

"Moment of weakness. It's never happened before and it won't happen again." Merlin told me.

"You had better be right. For your own sake." I said.

Merlin simply nodded.

"We had better get out of here. People will be wondering where we are." I sighed.

"By people, you mean Arthur." Merlin chuckled.

I smirked and elbowed his upper arm as we left the library.

"Where is that good for nothing, piece of sh-Iraina!" Arthur cut himself off as I entered his chambers.

"Who are you looking for Arthur?" I asked.

"Merlin. He's been gone for an age." He replied.

"I'm sure he'll be back soon." I smiled.

He nodded, approaching me.

"How are you?" He asked, placing his hands on my hips.

I chuckled, lowly. "I am fine, thank you my lord." 

Arthur chuckled, also, holding his hands up as he backed away.

"Ok, ok. I get the message. But... I'm still stealing a kiss." He smiled, moving back over.

He placed his lips on mine as our eyes closed simultaneously.

His hand traced my jawline as mine placed itself on his chest.

Just then, someone came stumbling through the doors.

Arthur and I parted instantly and we looked to see who it was.

"Sorry. Hope I wasn't interrupting anything." Merlin smiled in a way that told me he knew exactly what he had just barged in on.

"Where the hell have you been? I swear, you're the laziest, most incompetent servant I have ever had." Arthur sighed, walking over to him.

He gave Merlin a slap over the head and walked back towards me.

"My room needs cleaning. If you need me, tough. I shall be spending the afternoon with the lady Iraina." The prince said.

I smiled to myself as Merlin nodded.

"Have a good day you two." Merlin winked at us.

"What was that?" Arthur asked, seemingly irritated.

"Nothing, sire. I just had something in my eye. It's gone now though." Merlin said, sarcastically.

"If you're not careful Merlin, it'll be my fist in your eye. Now clean my room and when you're done, you can polish my armour." Arthur instructed him.

Merlin sighed and nodded as Arthur lead me out of his chambers, starting a beautiful afternoon together.
