Merlin's POV

I woke up as normal as ever. I yawned stretched and scratched the back of my head. I looked around and realize that I wasn't in my bedroom. I was in Arthur's chambers, in his bed. I stood up Quickly trying to figure out how the hell I got here.

Flash back

'Merlin, I've been looking for you. I cant find my shirt.' Arthur said as he saw me, his useless manservant, enter his chamber. Late as usual.

I walked over to the cupboard and pulled out Arthur's red shirt. Arthur is such a prat.

'It must have been behind something.' was all my pratty king had to say. Normally I'd tease him, but I felt a bit depressed today. I felt something powerful amongst us. I cant figure it out if it's good or not.

'Merlin, earth to idiot.' Arthur said while waving his hand in my face. Totally distracting me from finding the source of magic.

'W-what is it?' I asked.

'I worry about you from time to time. I don't know why, but I do.'

'Because you love me.' I joked.

'Merlin.'

'Yes?'

'Shut up.'

We went down to the throne room for breakfast.

'Merlin, join me. Think of as a reward for not being dead.' Arthur joked. I sat down across from him. I thanked the serving girl when she brought me a plate and a chalice of wine. I couldn't help noticing she seemed a bit absent minded.

I took a sip of the wine, and went about the day.'

End Flashback

I have to find Arthur, maybe he knows why I'm here. I stood up and stretched some more. I walked past the window and saw Arthur's reflection. I paused and stared at the feint image. There in the reflection was Arthur…exactly where I stood. Moving when I did, and made the same face I made. I was…no way.

'Holy shit.' was all I said. I ran out the room and rant to Gaius's chambers. I enter and see the old physician. Making his potions and remedies as always. He looked up and saw me…well not me but still me.

'He is still sleeping sire, you will find him in his room.' Gaius said calmly. How do you say 'I switched bodies with the King of Camelot' without giving a man a heart attack.

'Gaius…it's me.' I said with Arthur's voice.

'I know who you are my lord, I delivered you.' Gaius said plainly.

'No, Gaius, its me. Merlin.' I said looking him in his eyes. I saw his eyes go from disbelieving to shocked. He approached me slowly, studying the body I was in. and out of nowhere hit me in the back of my head.

'What the hell did you do?!' he yelled at me.

'I didn't do this! I think someone snuck me and Arthur some potion. Oh my Gods, Arthur he is…me now. Isn't he?' I asked myself, before bee lining for my bedroom.

I opened the door and saw me, knocked out and snoring up a storm. Yup, Arthur is in my body. Ugh, I feel so violated.

'A-Arthur…wake up.' I sad I attempt to wake me up. I knew that wouldn't wake him up. So I did the first thing I thought of.

'Arthur, we're under attack.' I said louder. I saw my body leap out of bed. 'Arthur' looked around and searched for his sword. Noticing the change in setting he looked at 'me' and his eyes became the size of plates.

'WHO ARE YOU!' he yelled, stopping noticing the change in his voice. 'What is with my voice?'

'Arthur calm down. Its me, Merlin. I think we've been enchanted. Long story short, we switched bodies.' I said hoping not to freak him out even more.

'WHAT DO YOU MEAN SWTCHED BODIES!?' he shouted.

'I'm you, you're me. Simple. Hard part, figure out who did this and how to reverse it.' I said in the calmest voice possible.

He seemed to calm down, but was a obviously still adjusting to all of it.

'Wait, does this mean that… Arthur leave for like thirty seconds, matter fact get Gaius in here.' I said as I pushed him out of the room. I looked around and saw my magic book. I tried to levitate it, but failed.

'Merlin, we need to reverse this spell, no time for secret meetings.'

'Arthur doesn't have magic. But I do. That means all my magic is in Arthur's untrained hands. Can you figure the rest out?' I asked with a devastated look on Arthur's face.

'Arthur will be the one who will have to use too switch you back. Meaning him finding out about your magic.' the old man's face mirrored 'mine'.

'I guess I'll tell him.' I said as I exited the room. I saw him sitting at the small table.

'Arthur, if we are in switched bodies, there is something very special about me.'

'What, you're gonna teach me the ability to not die?' he joked, good sign he is opening up.

'Yes. Arthur…I have magic, at least my body does. So-' I was cut off of course.

'What do you mean you have magic? No, no. You're my servant, not a one of those spell casting monsters!'

'I do have magic, but I didn't choose it, it chose me. I was born with it. And I've been using magic to keep both you and Camelot safe. Does that make me a monster?' I said with a heaving chest. He relaxed and slumped.

'Why didn't you say anything?' he asked with his head down.

Did he just asked that? Seriously.

'Why? After that reaction, you wanna know why I didn't tell you. If we were in our own bodies, you'd have me burned at the stake before I could finish the sentence! I risk my life everyday just by serving you, you think I don't know what would happen to me if I'm caught! My first day in Camelot I saw a man killed for practicing something I was born with. But here I am being abused by you, by fucking choice. Dammit all to hell! I chose you over my safety. All I ever wanted was a thank you!' I yelled.

I let it all go. I guess I really do have limits.

We both sat in silence, him looking down, and me glaring him. I wonder if I look as frightening as him when he's angry.

'Merlin, I understand why you were quiet when my father was alive, but why not when I was crowned?'

'It's easier to show than tell. Say irgyntuer gartyed gytfertysxe. Focus on everything you want to change about anything. You have to focus, don't let the magic control you. Treat it like sword, wield it.' I instructed.

'Irgyntuer gartyed gytfertysxe.' he whispered. I saw my eyes glow gold. I waited for the appearance to change, but it didn't.

'Did it work?' he asked.

'No, but I did find out my eyes turn gold whenever I cast a spell.' I said.

'Really, you didn't know that?' he said unbelievably.

'Nope, I just feel my magic show itself.' I answered truthfully.

'Oh never mind, hurry up and get me out of this body, its so weird. Also do you ever eat? I'm starving!' he whined.

'Well, between being a servant for the king of prats and secretly saving Camelot and meeting the Great Dragon before sunrise, I don't really sit down for tea very often.' I snapped. Okay, it's official. Even Arthur's body is bitchy.

'Great Dragon? I thought you said I killed that thing.' he whined. Stop whining in my body you ass.

I shot him a look.

'Of course you were lying.' he said in defeat.

'Yeah another thing. I'm the last dragon lord. Alright lets get you out of my body.' I said quickly. Hoping he'd go with it and not open up old wounds.

'What do you dragon lord?'

Dammit Arthur.

'Balinor was my father. I didn't know until Gaius told me a day or two before we left to find him. I waited til you were knocked out to tell him I was Hunith's son. He didn't believe me until I told him I released the dragon. Then he was killed in front of me not even a day later, that's-'

'When I told you no man is worth your tears.' he finished my sentence.

'Merlin, I am sorry. For everything I put you through. I was rude and unfair. I never gave you any reason to stay by my side. And why the hell am I saying what I think?'

'Oh sorry, I try to tell the truth as often as I can. Lying affects my magic. Kinda like how your eye twitches a bit when you lie.' I said teasingly.

'I. Do. Not.' he snarled. Stop being all pratty in my body.

'Let's test that.' I dared.

'Try any thing.' he challenged.

I grabbed a mirror. He came up behind me and looked at the reflection.

'I'm in love with Merlin.' I said with his lips no twitch. What?

'See.' he said happily.

'Wait.' I said before looking at the mirror.

'I fight like a girl.' eye twitch! That means.

'You're in love with me?'

'Let's get our bodies back.'
