True Love

Okay so this is my first fanfic ever, so please tell me how I did. I love Merlin and was upset with the Arthur X Gwen madness going on in Sweet Dreams. This does have spoilers for season two if you have not watched up to Sweet Dreams do.
It's also short, sorry about that.


~True Love~

Love. You must find the person Arthur truly loves. One kiss form her will break the enchantment and he will desire Vivian no more. The words kept running through Merlin's head.

Merlin knew what had to be done. A while back he and Arthur decided to use Gwen as his means of affections. Either the Dragon was teasing Merlin or really didn't know about Arthur. Gwen was nice and wise but not wise enough to notice if Arthur spent more time with other people. The dragon had said 'her' kiss will break the enchantment, fool. Gwen wouldn't break it, no girl would. None the less, Merlin sprinted to Gwen's house.

Once Merlin convinced Gwen that Arthur was enchanted and needed his help, he ran back to Arthur's tent. The past few days had been hell and Merlin was eager to be rid of them. When he first had walked into Arthur's room and had not received his good morning kiss he knew something was up. Then when Arthur kept talking about his love and giving flowers to Gwen, well really Vivian, Merlin thought that Arthur was bored with him. But when that lock of hair was put in his hands, the relief that washed through him was welcomed. Arthur was out of his mind and about to die, something that Merlin couldn't stand, especially when Freya had just died. Merlin knew it was his job to protect Arthur, he had to.

Out of breath, Merlin reached the tent and in an airy voice told Gaius that he knew what had to be done, but he had to get out. Gaius left just as Arthur started to talk. "Vivian, my love, I'll be at your side in no time." Merlin had had enough of this whole Vivian ordeal. Merlin advanced on Arthur, backing him till his legs pressed against the bench and had his hands full of his Prince's shirt. "Merlin, what do you think yo-"Merlin shoved Arthur making him fall down on the bench. Merlin fell on Arthur's legs so he couldn't get up.

Merlin didn't have enough time, he leaned down and pressed his lips to Arthur's. As soon as Arthur grabbed Merlin's head, Merlin pulled back with a grin on his face. "Glad to see you're back to normal." The smirk on the young warlock's face was obvious." Before you say anything sire, you must pretend to be in love with Vivian and act uncaring to Gwen when she comes in the tent. But once she kisses you just react the way you did to me kissing you." Arthur looked confused but didn't have a chance to say anything as Merlin got up and left the tent before a word could escape the Prince's lips. Just then Gwen came in.

"Ah, you finally come to wish me good luck? Because I really don't think I need it anymore."

"No, Arthur, I have not come to wish you luck."

"Honestly that's rather rude."

"Then let me make amends."

Arthur let Gwen kiss him, but it was Merlin that was on his mind. When Gwen pulled back Arthur noticed that his side was in pain, something that Merlin had distracted him of with his kiss. Arthur really didn't know what was going on. When Gwen told him what he needed to know Arthur wondered why Merlin hadn't told him. Was it because Merlin needed him to seem surprised or because Merlin was being a tease? Either way Merlin was going to get it when they were alone. Gwen was convinced that Arthur loved her after what Merlin had told her. With that she left to watch the fight and Merlin came in to escort Arthur.

When Merlin saw Gwen at the stadium, he knew that she was convinced that he really loved her; part of him felt bad for deceiving her. When Arthur was finished with the fight and had changed, he went to convince Gwen some more, As Vivian left Merlin knew what was coming. Arthur was still wigged out by the spell making him want a girl.

Arthur couldn't help but mumble, "Not too soon."

Merlin couldn't help but tease. "No, might conflict with your one true love."

"My what?"

"You heard me. I have proof."

"Proof?"

"You kissed her in the tent."

"Merlin...."

"Yes?"

"What happened in the tent," "Mmhm?" "Speak of it again and I'll kill you." Arthur didn't want to be reminded that Gwen had kissed him without his wanting to.With that the two lovers went into the castle to make up their lost time together.
