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.

"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.

KK hun! <3

[ayoungboy]

"Which will only take a half an hour tops." Merlin smiles playfully.

[royalpratness]

"If we eat slowly." Arthur grins. "I'm sure we'll think of something to keep us occupied."

[ayoungboy]

"Oh?" Merlin smiles, opening his mouth for a forkful of egg.

[royalpratness]

"Yes. We could play scrabble or do the Saturday crossword puzzle." Arthur smirks, pouring himself more tea.

[ayoungboy]

"Uh huh. Sounds like a blast," Merlin snorts and raises an eyebrow.

[royalpratness]

"I thought you'd be thrilled." Arthur laughs. "Or you could show me some more of your magic."

[ayoungboy]

"Mm, what kind?" Merlin flirts.

[royalpratness]

"Oh I leave that completely up to you. Whatever you feel like." Arthur puts his teacup back onto the tray, grinning.

[ayoungboy]

"Parlor tricks or..." Merlin murmurs, eyes glinting.

[royalpratness]

"Or something that's not PG-13." Arthur licks his lips.

[ayoungboy]

"Whatever you prefer, sire."
