Fic - Through the Phone 1/2 [Merlin]
Alright! After spending a long time away from this fandom, I'm posting a short one shot sequel to my story The Boy Next Door I might write something longer in the future, but first I have to see series two and I don't see that happening anytime soon because I honestly hated this first two chapters (the third one was okay, the forth I REFUSE to see).
Title: Through the Phone 1/2
Pairing/Characters: Merlin/Arthur
Genre: Humour/Romance/GenderBender/AU
Summary: Sequel to The Boy Next Door. Merlin is in UK, Arthur in US and they talk. A lot.
Warning: Modern AU, Reincarnation Fic and Girl!Merlin all together! \o/ Possibly out of character, but hopefully, only slightly. Dialogues only.
Spoiler: None.
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Sadly, they are not mine.
Notes: English is not my first language and I have no beta, so forgive any mistakes.
Through the Phone
"Hey, you."
"Hi. How was your first day?"
"..."
"Merlin?"
"I got lost and arrived late for my first class. And it rained last night so the ground was muddy and I slipped... Don't laugh!"
"Sorry, sorry... it's just... it's so you."
"It was embarrassing."
"It's alright, Merlin. Only the first day."
"How was your first day?"
"Fine. Classes were okay enough, and the practice... God, I missed being on the field."
"I'm glad it was good for you."
"Merlin, it'll get better, I promise. Now I have to go, it's late."
"Alright, talk to you soon."
"Yeah, bye."
---
"You're right, it is getting better! I finally found my way around the campus. Even managed to get in class on time today."
"Wow! And it only took you three weeks."
"Prat!"
"But you love me, anyway."
"Sure do. How are things going in your end?"
"They’re alright. I don't think my Economics teacher likes me very much, but at least I made it to the team; only second-string, but considering my injury..."
"It's great Arthur. I'm very proud of you."
"Thanks."
"Gotta go now. Call you tomorrow?"
"Alright, bye."
"Bye."
---
"Say your girlfriend rocks."
"My girlfriend totally rocks. Why?"
"Because she totally aced her mid-term essay. Professor Barnes said it was the best paper he had ever read about King Arthur."
"Doesn't hurt having inside knowledge on that."
"No, it doesn't. How about you? Still having problems with your Economics teacher?"
"Oh yeah! The man is out to get me. I bet he has a darts target with my face on it."
"Drama queen."
"Excuse me! It's King and you know it!"
"Pardon my mistake, Your Highness."
"Just don't forget it or it will be stocks for you, Merlin!"
"I miss this. I miss you."
"I miss you too, but we'll both be home for Christmas holidays."
"35 days until Christmas and counting."
"Gotta go. Practice."
"At this hour?"
"Have to, if I want to make to first-string."
"Just don't push yourself too hard Arthur. It's not worth getting hurt again."
"Don't worry, I have everything under control."
"If you say so..."
"Love you."
"Love you too."
---
"Hey... So I was at the library today and I met this guy, Percy... I'm pretty sure he used to be one of your knights."
"Really? Does he remember you?"
"Nops, but he's pretty cool. He's majoring in English Literature too. We had this Doctor Who marathon last weekend. I think I have a crush on David Tennant."
"My girlfriend, the geek."
"Are you mocking me, Arthur Prince?"
"Wouldn't dream of it."
"Good!"
"So..."
"So...?"
"This Percy... he's cute?"
"Nothing compared to you, with your pretty, pretty blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes."
"Alright, alright! Got the picture... No need to be so smug about this. I am a little jealous. You're so far away..."
"Arthur, I've been in love with you for a thousand years and countless past lives... Do you see that changing anything soon?"
"Yeah, I know... it's just..."
"Everything alright over there?"
"Yeah, just fine. Just... I really miss you and college isn't turning out the way I expected."
"It'll get better... I'm sure."
"Yeah... Have to go."
"Right. Well, talk to you soon."
"Sure."
"Love you."
"Me too."

"Hi there! You reached my phone... Merlin's... Anyway, I can't answer right now, because I'm probably off being awesome.... Or making out with me... Wait! You're awesome in that too. Arthur! Shh! So... leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as Arthur let me go. Better not hold your breath then. Well... after the beep and all that... you know what to do!"
"Hey, it's me... Just wanted to talk for a while... Can't believe you actually kept that message... okay... well... call me when you can. Bye."
---
"This is Arthur's phone. Leave a message after the beep."
"Hey! I got your message just now. Sorry! Was at the movies with Percy. Saw Alice in Wonderland for the third time. It's just awesome. Anyway... call me when you get this."

"Guess I missed you again. Call my dorm's phone. My battery is dying. Later."
---
"This is Arthur's phone. Leave a message after the beep."
"Called you at the dorm, but your roommate told me you were at the field. I hate we keep missing each other. Call me."
---
"...So... leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as Arthur let me go. Better not hold your breath then. Well... after the beep and all that... you know what to do!"
"Great... voicemail again! Do you ever keep that bloody phone with you!?"
---
"This is Arthur's phone. Leave a message after the beep."
"I could say the same! God, you manage to be a complete prat in just one sentence! You've really outdone yourself, Arthur!"
---
"...So... leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as Arthur let me go. Better not hold your breath then. Well... after the beep and all that... you know what to do!"
"Hey.. it's me... I'm sorry okay? Just... stop ignoring my calls."
