chapter19

Merlin laid in bed in his chambers next to Arthurs. He stared up at the ceiling as he thought about the conversation that had taken place between Arthur and his father when they arrived.

The moment Arthur had walked into the castle, Uther had jumped from his seat on the throne, a disgusted look upon his face as he watched his son walk passed the throne room carrying the servant boy. Uther ran out of the throne room and calling Arthurs name.

Arthur turned and growled at his own father. "I had to get Merlin back. I love him and you can't change that. No one can. At least be happy I at least came back, which I was against. It was Merlins idea." With that, Arthur turned and continued walking.

Merlin remembered taking a peek over the princes shoulder and seeing Uther standing with his mouth slightly open and looking shocked.

The boy smiled in the dark.

That was, until he heard his door open.

Merlin frowned and turned in bed just in time to see Arthur climb in next to him. Merlin scooted to give the prince room, but the prince grabbed onto him and brought their lips together.

Merlin shut his eyes to calm himelf when he felt his heart speed up. Arthurs hands were everywhere. The prince pulled his lips away for a sseond as he inhaled deep, then whispered.

"I want you."

Merlin looked in Arthur eyes. The boy smiled. "I know." He whispered back, as he brought his hand to the book under his pillow to keep it hidden.

Arthur brought his lips back to Merlins.

XOXOXOXO

Merlin felt strange. He woke up to a terrible headace. He lightly hissed trying not to wake the sleeping Arthur.

The 'naked' sleeping Arthur.

Even through the pain in his head, Merlin sent Arthur a smile as he thought about what had taken place a couple of hours before, they had shared their passion. Their love and Merlin couldn't be happier about who he had his first time with. The though quickly faded as the pain hit again. Merlin got up from the bed and shut his eyes. He wobbled over to the table where he picked up a pitcher of water. He tried pouring some into a cup, but failed when the pain in his head hit again.

Merlin whimpered and fell to the ground, taking the pitcher with him.

Arthur jumped in bed at the loud sound of metal hitting the ground. He looked beside him and when he didn't see Merlin he looked around the room.

His eyes widen at the sight of Merlin on the ground.

The prince jumped from bed and ran over to the boy on the floor. Arthur scooped Merlin up in his arms and quickly carried him over and sat him on the bed.

Arthur pushed back the boys hair.

"Merlin? Merlin, whats wrong?"

Merlin shook his head. "Hurts." He whimpered as he held his head.

Arthur brought his hands to Merlins on his head. "Is it that bad?" He whispered.

Merlin nodded before he shut his eyes and gasped.

Arthurs eyes widen more. "Merlin? Merlin, look at me." He brought his hands to the boys face.

Merlin gasped again, this time louder. His eyes snapped opened.

Arthur jumped back at the sight of Merlins golden eyes. The prince then jumped again as a glass vase near the bed burst into pieces.

Merlin opened his mouth to scream, but his eyes rolled into his head before he fell down onto the bed.

Arthur stared wide eyed for a moment before walking over to Merlin. He leaned over him and soothed his face. The prince shook his head. This had to be Cenreds doing. It just had to. Merlin was completed innocent.

Arthur layed down beside Merlin and wrapped his arms around him. Arthur kissed his forehead, before leaning into his ear and whispering.

"I'll find out whats wrong. I'll make you better, Merlin. I promise."

Arthur leaned over a bit, grabbed the blankets and pulled them over Merlins and his own body. Arthur brought his chin to Merlins head, staying there and watching the boy the whole night.

A cliff hanger ending? Until I think what to do for the sequal:)
