Merlin tried not to laugh. He hadn’t even thought about his birthday when he woke up and found Arthur was not by his side. He probably had an early meeting or had gone to play footie in the park with their friends, which was nothing unusual.

When he had gone to the bathroom, he had heard commotion from the kitchen. Oh well, maybe Arthur was back and made a mess trying to make breakfast. The thought made Merlin smile. Arthur wasn’t the domestic type, so it was always nice when on very rare occasions he did something like that. And then it dawned on him. It was his birthday, maybe that was the reason why Arthur was making breakfast. He probably had arranged for some catering company to deliver fancy delicatessen?

But now Merlin stood door to the kitchen and had a hard time to keep the giggles in. Arthur looked at him so proudly while he presented the weirdest and most crooked cake he had ever seen. Arthur had icing on his face and on the cake, he had run out of space, so the blue writing on the chocolate icing said “Happy B-day, Merli”.

“Do you like it?” Arthur asked, an excited shine in his eyes.

Merlin smiled widely. “It’s the most perfect birthday cake I’ve ever gotten.”

Hehehe aw, that's so cute. Arthur really shouldn't be allowed in the kitchen, but his heart is in the right place XD

Is suspect that Merlin will be left to clean the kitchen ;) But he still loves the cake since Arthur made it for him.

Aww, I bet it' sthe best birthday cake he ever got – Arthur will be on Bake Off before you know it :)

Not sure if Arthur will get far on Bake Off, but yes, it's the best cake Merlin ever got. :D

How cute of Arthur to make that try! It's definitely the thought that counts here.

[bunnysworld.livejournal.com]

It definitely is. His real talents lie somewher else, though :)

This is so cute! I love the imagery of Arthur with icing on his face!

That darn icing wanted to stick everywhere but on the cake! ;)

Aw, how sweet was Arthur to make Merlin a cake! It'll mean all the more to Merlin since Arthur probably rarely does anything in the kitchen (except for...).

[bunnysworld.livejournal.com]

He does things in the kitchen. But baking is usually not one of them ;)

Awwwww that was so sweet and funny, I laughed so much at Arthur being so proud of his baking, though he probably shouldn't be allowed in the kitchen to play chef ever again.

[bunnysworld.livejournal.com]

Of course he is proud, he made this! :D And as long as it's edible, Merlin won't mind letting him try again.

Merlin sure appreciates the effort. :)
