oOoOoOoOoOoOo

Merlin was four when he first met Morgana and a six year-old Arthur was not pleased about it in the least. The young prince glared at the little girl as she proceeded to drag Merlin around the courtyard. This wasn’t right. Merlin was his, his friend, just his, not Morgana’s. But still she continued to do or say something that had the dark haired child giggling.

He stepped out onto the grass, pleased when Merlin to one look at him and grinned.

“Arthur, there you are,” Morgana said as turned and looked at him, her dark braid swishing back and forth. “We were just going to play hide and seek.”

Merlin laughed and nodded, looking very happy with the idea.

“I don’t want to play hide and seek.” He glared at the girl, completely missing the sad look that crossed his friend’s face. A hand came up and wrapped around his shirt, tugging. Arthur glanced down and froze when he saw the tears in little Merlin’s eyes.

“Play? Please?”

The blonde kid frowned, sitting down beside him. Immediately, Merlin’s arms wrapped around him in a hug. He sighed and slipped his arm around his friend, choosing to ignore Morgana, who looked more knowing than a six year-old had any right looking. Merlin just looked up at him pleadingly, pouting slightly. “Fine,” he muttered.

He grinned a little when he heard Merlin’s ecstatic exclamation. Hide and seek was more fun with three people, anyways.
