Merlin One shots - (BBC)

How you meet

Merlin
You were a new servant in the castle and you'd already been given numerous tasks. You'd just been told by another servant that some cloth needed to be taken down to Gaius, the physician, so you were rushing down the corridors. Turning a corner you bumped into something, or more someone, causing you to stumble. Their hand grabs yours and they pull you to their chest, preventing you from falling. Looking up you see the slim face and blue eyes of a boy. Feeling embarrassed and shocked you pull away and look down, face turning a bright shade of pink.
"I'm so sorry I-," you began to apologise shyly.
"No need to be, I'm Merlin," he interrupts.
"I'm Y/n."

Arthur
Merlin had to leave for a few days to collect some herbs for Gaius so you were left with the duty of serving the prince until Merlin returned. Entering prince Arthur's chambers, you make your way to his table and place his breakfast down. Turning around to go and wake him, you knock a cup off the table. You cringe as it hits the floor, making a loud noise and startling Arthur awake. He jumps from his his bed and picks up a nearby sword, pointing it at you.
"Who are you and what are doing in my chambers?" He demands.
"Y/n, I am your servant until Merlin returns. I'm sorry to have startled you," you answer, looking at the prince.
Arthur lowers his sword, "oh, of course."
You both stand in a slightly awkward silence, looking at each other.
"I better be off, I will return with your clean robes," you said, breaking the silence.
You quickly left his chambers, cheeks pink.

Gwen
Your father is king of a neighbouring kingdom to Camelot and insisted that you you come with him when he next visited his friend, King Uther Pendragon. Now, here you are, in Camelot, being greeted by King Uther and Prince Arthur. You are escorted to your chambers by a guard and immediately collapse down on the bed with a sigh. You were sure the two Kings were planning on having you and Arthur wed in the near future, which you are not happy about at all. A nock at the door interrupts your thoughts and you tell the person to enter. You sit up and see a beautiful girl with dark curly hair and dark skin enter your chambers.
"The king has instructed me to help prepare you for the feast this evening," she said in a soft voice, making your stomach flutter slightly.
You simply stand and nod in reply, too shy to speak.
For a moment your eyes meet, making the flutter in you stomach to reappear and your cheeks turn pink.
'Why am I so nervous, she's just a servant,' you think to yourself as you walk behind the dressing screen (A/N idk what it's called, it's the thing they get dressed behind) and begin to undress from your traveling clothes, hanging them over the screen and taking the dress that the servant girl gave you. After dressing you let her do your hair.
"Thank you...?" You finally said and realised you still didn't know her name.
"Guinevere, or Gwen," Gwen said, smiling kindly at you.
"Thank you, Gwen," you repeated, but this time with her name and returned her smile.

Morgana
You're riding your horse and exploring in the woods of Camelot and decide to stop by a small stream to rest and relax. Your father was going to compete in a tournament and you had asked if you could come with him. You weren't the typical female. Sure, you liked to wear pretty dresses, but you had always been a fighter. Your father had taught you at a young age how to hold a sword and fight. You loved watching your father fight in tournaments and hoped to one day fight in one yourself. The sound of rustling leaves and twigs snapping pulled you out of your thoughts. Swiftly, you stand and draw your sword ready to attack.
"Who's there? Show yourself!" You demand.
More leaves rustle and a beautiful woman steps out from behind a tree. You point your sword at her, not trusting her. Looks can be deceiving.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," she apologises. "I am Morgana, and you are?"
You lower your sword but still keep a firm grip.
"(Y/n). May I ask, what's a beautiful woman like yourself doing out in the woods?" You flirt, suddenly feeling confident.
"I could ask you the same thing," she flirts backs.
This surprises you, making your cheeks flush a light shade of pink. You put your sword back in its holder at your hip, deciding you trust Morgana.
"Do you mind if I join you?" She asks.
"Not at all, I could use the company," you answer with a smile.
You both sat at the edge of the stream talking until the sun set.

Sir Gwaine
It was just a usual day at the markets for you. Selling fabric, shawls, ribbons and other hair things and the bunches of wild flowers that you pick from the woods each morning and occasionally, apples.
Today was one of the days you sold the apples that you picked, instead of eating half throughout the day and eating the other half the next like you usually did. Apples were your favourite, you couldn't help but to eat them.
"Hello," said a male voice.
You look up from the fabric you were folding and see an extremely handsome man dressed in knights chainmail.
"Oh, hello, is there anything in particular you are after?" you greet him with a smile, trying to ignore the flutters in your stomach caused by him just looking at you.
"Uh yes, can I have five of your apples, please? They look delicious!"
"Of course," you say, smiling nervously and hand him the apples in a cloth bag to make the easier to carry. "Have a nice day, sir," you say and get back to folding the fabric. Only seconds pass before you hear someone clear their throat.
"Aren't I meant to pay for these?" He says, still standing in front of your small stall.
You laugh slightly, "oh uh, don't worry about it."
"No, I can't just take your apples without paying!" He says, insistent on paying.
"It's really no problem, think of it as a gift," you smile.
"Okay fine, if you're not going to let me pay for the apples, you have to have a picnic with me?" He smirks slightly.
You blush furiously and try to reply but all you can do is stutter.
"I'll take that as yes", he chuckles, "oh and may I ask your name?"
"Y/N," is all you say, still a bit pink in the face and trying to avoid eye contact with the handsome knight.
"Well, Y/N, it's lovely to meet you," he smiles,"I'm Gwaine".
"Lovely to meet you too, Gwaine," you manage to say without stuttering.
Gwaine doesn't say anything after that, he just stands there staring at you. All you can do is stare back at him, admiring how handsome he is.
"Gwaine!" You hear someone call from the distance.
You both look to where the voice came from.
He looks back at you, "I'm sorry I must be off, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!" He says with a charming smile and runs off.
