( Ok, so this one isn't connected to future ones but, it connected to past ones because of reasons But, I assure you, it isn't what you think ( you may cry, I almost did writing this cuz I'm a wuss.I have been using a pattern, let's see who can guess it, eh?

I am really liking this one shot collection and i really want you guys to share it if you like it too!)

Merlin loved singing. He sang all the time, but only when nobody was around. He sang for his mother and the children in his village before he left, but after that, he sang around nobody. He did have habits of absent mind humming at random times, some people noticed, others didn't. He didn't realize he was humming, so what did it matter. He rarely got drunk, as he throws over his shoulder and acts drunk sometimes, just to please Gwaine mainly.

One time though, Gwaine decided to spike Merlin's water, because he had his suspicions of the young warlock. Besides, they were all drinking, but not very much. Since Merlin never had a drop in his life, it had a bigger effect on him. Lancelot noticed Merlin swaying a bit, looking half asleep and knew Gwaine did something.

" Gwaine, what did you do to merlin" Lancelot questioned

" nothing! Besides spike his water, no biggie" Gwaine smirked, the most drunk out of all of them, besides Merlin.

" YOU WHAT! Merlin throws the ale over his shoulder and acts drunk to please you! He's never had a drop in his life! There's no telling what he'll be like drunk! Plus, it will have a bigger effect on him since his system isn't built to hold ale like it is yours!" Lancelot fumed at Gwaine who looked at him in surprise
" Oh really? I am so getting revenge!" Gwaine mumbled and then had an idea
" Oh Merlin" He called out in a singsong voice 

" Yesh" Merlin said, looking more half asleep then drunk.

" What's your biggest secret?" Gwaine asked 

" I may be a litt'e buzzed but, I'm not 'tupid" Merlin slurred making Gwaine curse

" Are you thirsty Merlin? Take some drinks of your water" Gwaine coaxed Merlin with the knights shaking their heads in disapproval 

"Can't, alread' dr'nk it all" Merlin slurred

" not built to hold mead, eh Lancelot? Here Merlin, have some of mine" Dwaine murmered before handing Merlin a whole tankard of mead with a smirk on his face

what surprised everyone was that Merlin chugged it in less than five seconds. 

" dang Merlin. Now, what was your biggest secret again? you told me earlier and I can't remember" Gwaine said, trying to hide his smile.

"Ok, but you cn't tell Gwaine, whenever we go dr'nking, I throw the dr'nk over my shoulder and act drunk And I've only had the dr'nks I've stolen from Gaius and the kitchens but, shhhhhh dn't tell Gaius or Arthur. They'd battle for me head" Merlin slurred, for some reason in a thick Irish accent that the others haven't heard before and made it hard to understand while he was slurring

( A/N I don't mean to offend anyone, but this is what I imagine an Irish accent is and I can't have been the only one who has noticed how think Colin Morgan's accent is when their not filming and It's mixed with drunken slurring, so yeah. Just imagine his accent when He isn't filming for this, K?)

" Where'd the accent come from mate?" Gwaine asked

" I've alway' 'ad it, ju't hide it so people can under'tand me, and I'm n't from Ealdor, and Hunith isn't my mum, ju't mer aunt.  My real mum died and my godfat'er dumped me wit' Hunith when I was 17 'cause he got sick of me after 4 years. Gaius doesn't know, nobody ders beside Hunith. Not exactly somet'ing you'd wernt to flaunt around. I was 18 when I came to camelot, ju't in time to see a man's h'ad cut off" Merlin said and chuckled " Hell of an impre'ion, eh?" 

" so you were 13 when your mother died?"  Elyan asked in horror

" yesh. Guess I'm destined to be parentless, dad died two years ago, knew 'im fer two days" Merlin said

" wait, you were still in camelot then, why didn't you tell me? I would've let you have a few days off to grieve or something" Arthur said, ashamed he didn't realize anything was off about Merlin when it happened.

" yer knew he died, just not that he wa' mer dad" Merlin slurred, eyes half open

" what? Who was he?" Arthur asked

" Balinor. 'Nothor thing ya dern't know, I 'ave magic and I'm a dragon lord"Merlin said, looking ready to fall asleep

" Wait, you have magic and your first impression of camelot was a man being beheaded for magic? And you've suffered through all of us talking about how evil magic is! Why didn't you leave, why didn't you tell us, why-why did you come to camelot in the first place!" Percival asked, thinking of all the times they had discussed how evil magic was, even having a contest on how much magic had done to them, Arthur winning every time. 

" 'Noth'r funny t'ing, I'm Emrys and Arthur is t'e one and futur' king" Merlin said

" Wait, what? Emyrs, the king of the druids, most powerful sorcerer to ever walk the earth and you're King Arthur of camelot's manservant?" Gwaine asked in partial confusion

"warlock. I'm a warlock, not a sor'er" Merlim murmed

" what's the difference?" Arthur asked 

" Warlocks are bern wit' magic, and sor'ers learn magic. If I stop using' magic, it wou'd phy'ically destroy me" Merlin explained, after smacking his lips

" So, you have no choice but, to use magic?" Leon asked

" yep. And, I'm not drunk. Figured it'd be easier for me to tell you guys while pretending to be drunk" Merlin said, dropping the accent and the slurring, looking wide awake 

" wait, you aren't drunk?" Leon asked in surprise 

" I'm a tiny bit buzzed, probably won't remember this, but I am basically sober except for that and I'll still have a major hangover" Merlin said 

" well you'll have good news in the morning as I will be lifting the ban on magic and making you court sorcerer and getting a new manservant" Arthur said and smiled at Merlin's surprised look

" Well, that, is defiantly not what I expected"
