“So I hear you’re bothering the new boy a lot? Can I take that to mean you won’t be seeking revenge on me for the post it’s?” Merlin asked as he walked up to Gwen’s desk with a grin, perching on the edge of it as he looked at her. He’d heard about her frequent visits to Caleb and wondered what was going on so he’d decided to pay her a visit and find out.
“The new boy who’s never at his desk?” Gwen replied, a little stubborn, a little irritated. She raised an eyebrow as she leaned back. Actually, seeing Merlin there was a relief. She couldn’t keep up the pretense of being irritated while she saw his grinning face. “I’m working on my revenge. It’s a slow burn.”
“Uh huh, it’s okay to admit you’re out of ideas. The one you had was pretty good” he teased her, ruffling her hair before skipping out of the way so she couldn’t hit him. “Never at his desk huh? Maybe he thinks better when he’s walking around or something?”
Gwen gave a laugh at that. “All right, all right, I’m out of ideas. Maybe you and I should get together and plan a prank on the new kid.” She smirked a little, then shook her head. “No, I think he’s just… I don’t know. A slacker or something. I don’t like his hair.” She was being stupid and she knew it.
“That would be mean. Though I can’t deny it’s also appealing” Merlin said, it might also help Caleb relax a bit as long as it wasn’t too big of a prank. “He’s not a slacker. He’s getting his work done, I’ve checked. And I’m sorry you don’t like his hair, maybe you should speak to Pepper about putting a clause in everybody’s contracts. ‘Must seek hair approval from Gwen Stacy’” he teased her, knowing she was being silly there.
Gwen turned to look at him when he mentioned Pepper, and then she realized he was teasing her. She gave a little laugh, sheepish. “Right, right. I know. He’s got Tony’s stamp of approval, which means he’s probably a great asset to the company… but he just rubs me the wrong way. I mean, who drinks Papaya juice, anyway?”
“People who like papaya juice?” Merlin suggested in amusement, “People think I'm weird for drinking earl grey tea from home you know. But you still love me despite that”
“I love you no matter what. But still, Earl Grey tea isn’t that strange. You can get it at any old store. But Papaya juice? Whatever.” She shook her head a little. “Okay, so… we’re gonna prank him, then? It’d be good. What do you think we should do? Maybe something Halloween related?”
Merlin laughed fondly, Gwen obviously had a bee in her bonnet about Caleb, he couldn’t help feeling a little sorry for him. “Halloween related would be good and something fun” he said mulling over ideas.
“Oh, OH!” Gwen said, perking up. “Since he’s like, never in his office? Let’s put spider webs all over.” She grinned. “You know, the novelty kind? The kind they sell around Halloween?”
A smile spread over Merlin’s face, “I do believe that is a genius idea” he said with a nod, “Yes, that’s perfect. I’m sure I could cover things with dust too” Like he’d been gone so long his things had accumulated a thin layer over them.
“So long as we can clean it up before maintenance has to,” Gwen said. Actually, she was thinking about letting them in on the little secret, so they knew she wasn’t just going to trash poor Caleb’s office and then make them clean it up. “God, it’s gonna be super cute. Maybe a couple days before Halloween?”
“I can take care of that” Merlin said, he could make it appear as normal in no time with his magic. “Thursday 29th?” he suggested, “I think that would work best”
“That sounds amazing! Yes, let’s do it.” Gwen grinned brightly. She collected up the paperwork that she was working on, and stacked it neatly. “I should make some paperwork deliveries. But I’ll check in with you again before the twenty-ninth.”
“Sounds like a plan” Merlin agreed, “But for now I will let you get back to work” he grinned before leaving her to it.
“Sounds great! I’ll talk to you soon.” Gwen gave him a smile, then got back to work. She was smirking for a while even after the door closed behind him.
