"Hello sire, would you like your pillows fluffed?" George asked politely "also you have a meeting in 5 minutes"
"FIVE MINUTES!" Arthur jumped out of bed and woofed down a muffin. He quickly pulled on his pants, shoes, and cape about to run out the door only to be stopped by the faint call of sire. Turning around he raised a eyebrow in question.
"Yes George"
"I just thought I would let you know you forgot your shirt"
"I forgot my- Oh!" Arthur looked down to In fact see his bare chest. He blushed and threw on a shirt. Running out he arrived at the council meeting, everyone turned to him and Arthur cleared his throat awkwardly.
"Erm- sorry I'm late" gwaine smiled at him.
"That's alright, we understand it can be hard to dress yourself"
"What do you mean-"
"Your pants are on backwards" Arthur looked down with wide eyes and noticed his pants, in fact were backwards. He cleared his throat and sat in a chair. Earning a bunch of snickers.
"Alright well-" Arthur groaned as Leon went on and on about the newest updates. The only interesting thing whatsoever, had been the complete incline of apple consumption (which turned out to be completely caused by gwaine and a man that goes by Draco). Arthur always hated the routine meetings. Always such a bore. Leaning back Arthur propped up his legs, only to be smacked by Lancelot to which he put them back down.
"-to solve the mushroom attacks it would be best to stop selling them." Arthur popped up mushroom attacks? Gwaine sat there in his chair laughing very hard.
"That may have been the funniest story I have ever heard! Who knew people could get so weird and possessive about mushrooms!" Arthur raised his eyebrow at the story he clearly droned out on but just continued on as if nothing happened.
The second the council meeting ended Arthur raced out to go saddle his bag. Merlin consumes his mind. He was very exited to see the strange boy once again.
"What has your panties in a bunch dear brother" Arthur cursed himself. Morgana is always so noisy. Demands to know all about his life. It's quite annoying.
"Just for a ride"
"Then I'll join you"
"No!" Morgana raised her eyebrow and smiled.
"Hiding things from me doesn't work out for you"
"I'm not hiding anything"
"Then what's with the pile of books in your bag?" Arthur rolled her eyes. So annoyingly observant
"I'm going to read them"
"We both know you can't read"
"Ha. Ha. Very funny Morgana. Goodbye!" She raised her eyebrow but nonetheless walked off. Arthur sped away on his horse too merlin. He had brought very factual books to him hoping to peak his interest.
He reached the tree and looked around. No sign of-
"Oh hello!" Arthur spun around to see the same cheery smile once again. "You came back!"
"Well of course I did! I promised after all." Merlin frowned then picked up his dictionary going through the pages.
"Pro-mis-e, noun, a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing or that a particular thing will happen." He read to himself.
"No ones ever promised you something before?" Merlin shook his head and looked at Arthur with those same wide innocent eyes.
"No. Can you promise me something again!" Merlin asked. His voice taking the childlike wonder.
