I promise this is the last of the fics! For now anyway.
Merlin.
Arthur?
What is that?
Oh, erm, that's--
A flower, Merlin, yes, I know, I'm not blind.
Then why did you...?
Who gave it to you, Merlin.
Why does it matter? It's just a flower, it's not like--
Was it--did--just--did Gwen give it to you.
Oh! No. No no no. No.
...
Wait. Oh my god. You were worried, weren't you?
Oh, for--she's done it before! It's not like this is a wholly unprecedented situation, Merlin!
Well, she didn't.
Good.
And she wouldn't.
Even better.
It's only you that she'll give flowers to from now on.
Merlin?
Yes, sire?
Shut up.
Yes, sire.
...so if it wasn't from Gwen, who was it from?
Oh. Er. Gwaine, actually.
Gwaine.
Yep.
Gwaine...gave you a tiny flower.
Should he have given me a larger one?
No, by all means. Far be it from me to judge the size of Gwaine's flowers, Merlin.
...
...don't you have some boots to polish, or. Something?
Right away, sire. I'll tell Gwen to get you some larger flowers--
Out, Merlin.
