Plot: I was watching the new series with major love for the gang of knights and I wanted to see how it'd go if a Hangover style moment happened to them and so, the fic was born!
It's the morning after Arthur's coronation and the Knights wake up having no idea what happened the night before...
The Camelot of all Hangovers - Part One
‘What… are you doing …there?’ Arthur asked bemused. As he woke up and opened his eyes, he found Merlin at the foot of his bed, curled up under his Knight’s cloak, his head right next to Arthur’s feet.
‘Sorry?’ Merlin asked, still half asleep pulling the cloak tighter around him.
‘What…’ Arthur started to say, tugging the cloak off of Merlin ‘Are you doing there?!’
‘Don’t shout!’ Merlin told him wincing and sitting up straight before holding his head in his hands. ‘My head is banging’
‘I knew you couldn’t hold your drink’ Arthur said standing up before sitting back down again on his bed.
‘The room’s started to spin hasn’t it?’ Merlin asked recognising the ‘I shouldn’t have got up’ look.
‘Yep. And quite a lot actually’ Arthur replied shutting his eyes before opening them again ‘How much did we drink last night?’
‘More than enough to celebrate your coronation yesterday, I think’ Merlin answered, covering himself with Arthur’s Pendragon cloak and lying back down on the bed.
‘Merlin!!’
‘Sorry! It’s just I’m so tir…’
‘Beeehhhhh’
‘What was that noise?’ Arthur asked reaching for his sword and gesturing Merlin to move out of the way. Merlin did as he was told and Arthur was slightly shocked to see what was behind him.
‘Why is there a goat in my bedroom?!’
Before Merlin had a chance to answer, not that he had any form of explanation, Gwaine walked out of Arthur’s wardrobe, rubbing his eyes and holding a bunch of carrots.
‘If anyone has any idea why I woke up with these, I’d be glad to hear it.’ He looked across at Arthur, ‘you do know there’s a goat in your chambers don’t you sire?’
‘Now Gwaine, that’s no way to talk about Merlin’ Leon said yawning as he crawled out from the floor under Arthur’s bed, rubbing his forehead. ‘Oh no wait, there actually is a goat in your room’ he said as he stood up and came face to face with it.
‘Ow!’ Elyan shouted as Leon kicked him as he stood up
‘Why are you sleeping on the floor? Gwaine asked him
‘Your guess is as good as mine’ Elyan said ‘What happened last night?’
‘I remember toasting King Arthur’s coronation last night in the great hall and then...’
‘Surely you didn’t drink so much you can’t remember what happened?’ Merlin said nervously laughing.
‘I don’t know why you’re laughing Merlin; I only gave you one glass of ale and you don’t even remember!’ Arthur reminded him as Leon and Gwaine exchanged a glance.
‘What?’ Arthur asked noticing.
‘We may have kept swapping Merlin’s water for ale after that first glass’
‘And you didn’t notice?!’ Arthur said looking at Merlin’s sheepish grin, ‘Oh so you did then.’ He said unimpressed.
'Where's Sir Percival?' Merlin asked counting the knights in the room, but no one seemed to hear him.
Just then the goat started chewing on one of Arthur’s shirts he had hanging over a chair.
‘Merlin, can you please remove the goat, he’s eating my shirt?!’
‘Certainly sire’ Merlin said but as he went over to grab the rope around its neck, the goat did a swerve and Merlin, still a little dizzy, tripped up over his own two feet and fell flat on Arthur’s bed. The goat meanwhile, headed back to the chair and carried on nibbling.
Merlin was certain Arthur was about to tell him how useless he was, but from the look on his face, he could tell there were no words. His facial expression was enough.
‘I’ll sort it’
‘Yes, yes you will!’ Arthur replied grabbing another shirt from his wardrobe to put on.
‘Sire, I think Merlin was onto something, where is Sir Percival?’ Eylan asked ‘We’re all here but he’s not?’
‘I’m sure he’s fine, probably getting on with his jobs having not overslept’ Arthur said
‘That still doesn’t explain the goat’
‘Or the carrots’
‘Or my beard’
Everyone turned round to check what they’d just heard but as they did, loud laughter emerged from the group. Leon’s stubble was still there, thankfully he thought, but had been changed to a bright purple colour. It didn’t quite go with his normal blondey-brown hair.
‘How did we not notice that?!’ Arthur asked feeling his own face and staring at Sir Leon in amazement
‘Why is that like that?’ Elyan asked
‘Has anyone else got anything else weird that’s happened to them?’ Gwaine asked also checking his beard in the mirror.
Just at that moment, the bells rang and a guard ran into Arthur’s chambers.
‘My lord, you’re coronation crown is missing!’
‘Have you seen Sir Percival?’ Merlin asked
‘No, I’m afraid not’ the guard replied confused, the crown being missing was worse than a knight he thought
‘Ha, I said he was missing’ Merlin said, slightly please with himself before Arthur threw his pillow at him.
‘Sire, you do know there’s a goat in your chambers?’ the guard added, bemused at the situation
‘Yes!!’ All 5 men said in unison.
I'd really appreciate any comments, I hope you like it :) x x
