Spellbound

[ayoungboy]

This week has been fucking exhausting. He'd been consuling all week and dealing with a threat over in Norway. Somebody trying to brew mind control potions, again. Why couldn't everybody just get along and stop fussing? He's finally back home, in England, heading up the wizarding council while they go over worldwide news, and he gets an invite - no, it isn't that. It's more of a demand, from King Pendragon.

He's a bit tired, really, and didn't feel like dealing with it. "Not now, thank you. Politely decline, for me?" He told the runner. "Send him some magical candy."

He just wanted to go home and finish his book, thank you. He didn't ask for these powers, but if he took a holiday the world would flip out. People held him in high regard for some reason - he wasn't that wise, or old. He was just a young man trying to do right. Yet somehow the King was demanding his presence.

Arthur grins, glancing at his alarm clock. It's still early and there's no reason to wake Merlin up just yet.

[ayoungboy]

He looks exhausted, but happily so, peaceful and smiling faintly in his sleep.

[royalpratness]

Arthur keeps stroking Merlin's back lightly with no intention of waking him.

[ayoungboy]

He sleeps for a few more hours before there's a knock on Arthur's door.

[royalpratness]

Arthur had dozed off again, stirring when he hears the knocking. Groaning, he rubs his eyes and pushes himself up into a sitting position. "One second." Sliding out of bed, Arthur quickly goes to put on a bathrobe before opening the door just a crack.

[ayoungboy]

Merlin moaned in disapproval and rolled over, burying his face in Arthur's pillow. His back was exposed, down to his hips, the covers barely covering his ass.

"Sire," There's a servant there with a tray of food. "...you've slept past breakfast."

[royalpratness]

"Uhm, yes, I have a guest." Arthur takes the tray. "Thank you." He quickly closes the door into the confused man's face.

[ayoungboy]

"A - do you want a second - " But the door was already shut. Merlin shifts, sighing and hugging the pillow tightly.

[royalpratness]

Arthur feels a bit sorry for shutting the man out like that, but only for a second. "Merlin? You awake?"

[ayoungboy]

"Mmph...no..." Merlin mutters, turning away and curling into the pillow.

[royalpratness]

"Can I tempt you with breakfast?" Arthur walks over to the bed, sitting down on the edge and putting the tray down next to Merlin.

[ayoungboy]

"You gonna feed me?" Merlin snorts, back flexing as he shifts.

[royalpratness]

"No. Lazy bugger." Arthur chuckles, nudging Merlin's side.

[ayoungboy]

"Mm, then I won't feed you." Merlin's eyes are closed, but a piece of orange starts floating towards him anyway.

[likespie]

Arthur blinks, then laughs. "I keep forgetting that you can do that." He crawls onto the bed, leaning his back against the headboard, taking the cup of tea from the tray.

[ayoungboy]

"Let's me be lazy," Merlin laughs, opening his mouth for the slice of orange.

going to bed! got a job interview tomorrow morning x_x

[royalpratness]

"Of course. I think you deserve some laziness." Arthur smiles at him, sipping his tea. "I'm glad there was no international crisis."

Good luck! <3

[ayoungboy]

"None that I noticed. It'll come in soon enough." Merlin yawns, and a piece of orange floats to Arthur.

thanks! I got the job :D

[royalpratness]

"I could do without it." Arthur remarks, eating the slice of orange from where it's hovering in mid-air.

Woo! Congrats hun!

[ayoungboy]

"Couldn't we all," Merlin chuckles, burrowing down into the soft pillow. "God your bed is comfortable..."

thank you :) I'm very excited that I'll finally earn my own money

[royalpratness]

"I know." Arthur grins at him. "It has its perks to be the King."

Haha, lucky <3 I'm still in school

[ayoungboy]

"Mm, well good for you," Merlin sighs a little and forces himself up as a piece of bacon floats to his head. "I'd better be off soon."

I have a huge student loan to pay back first ;_; okay not as huge as you guys in the US

[royalpratness]

"I think we've just agreed that there is no international crisis you have to attend." Arthur reaches for a slice of toast. "I don't have anywhere to be until noon."

My dad had tuition waivers from his time in the military so all I have to do is buy textbooks.

[ayoungboy]

"None that I know of. There could be." Merlin points out. "Did you have something in mind?"

Ooh okay I have never heard about that! Neat! :) I'm going for a run now, bbs!

[royalpratness]

"Nothing in particular, apart from finishing breakfast." Arthur stretches his arms over his head, yawning.
