Merthur/Merlin one shot

Dumbelasswhipe did it again (Merlin de-aged) part 2

The moment he woke up he felt confusion at the comfortable underground. Why was this comfortable and where was he? The answers to his questions came soon back when he had he remembered.

Never had someone given him affection that was an adult and having someone who cared for him treat him this way was confusing. His brows furrowed and his gaze went around the room that he was.

The room had a bed -that was what he was laying on and the realization that he was on it, made him scramble out of this. Not to mention that he had managed to wet the bed. God they will be angry with him. This alone made him shiver and instantly trying to get take the bed sheets to clean. But it was not working well and they were heavier to him to even lift the entire sheet.

'I dun wanna be hurted anymowe.' He thought as his body tremored and his heart was thundering in his chest.

As the door was opened making him instantly hide under the bed. After all, adults could not come under this place and it was making him feel safe.

"Hey, kiddo we aren't angry at you." The tone was soothing and he wondered why he would trust them about this.

All adults he met so far -which weren't a lot but still- they were pissed and angry whenever he could not hold it any longer. But the person sounded so nice and he wanted to believe Lancelot but the many times his trust got broken made him decide against it.

"How about you and I will do a pinky promise that Lancelot and I, both are not going to hurt you for having an accident." This time it was Gwaine that said this with a soft yet silly serious tone.

Merlin let out a gasp at this. No one had ever wanted to do this and he always wanted to have someone to do a pinky promise. Slowly he peaked out and slipping back under as seeing the two concerned eyes but he could see that Gwaine was serious about this, so he slowly made his hand peak out and tensely waiting for what the other would do.

"I will now do the pinky promise now, so don't be alarmed at the sudden touch okay, kiddo?" It was said softly and he swallowed knowing that even now he would not be able to talk. Then the slight touch of another bigger pinky came, making his body shudder but slightly more relaxing.

"I pinky promise that we won't going to punish or harm you as this is a promise from both of us." It was said softly and he slowly crawled back outside after this.

Still he was nervous what they would do. The two were looking kindly at him. Never had he had this and now that these people were looking almost as if they cared for a freak for him, he was unsure what he to do with this information.

Maybe he could trust them and when they would betray his trust he would never trust any adult at all. That was why he took a deep breath and hugging Gwaine, because he seemed the friendliest out of the two. His brows furrowed and he wanted to have affection. Wished to have this even when he was a freak.

Slowly two pair of arms wrapped around him as picking him up. At first he stiffens not expecting this but soon he slowly relaxed. But this made Merlin wonder how it could be that he was trusting these two.

"Okay, we thought to bring you to our boss. He wanted to do the questioning himself. Surely you had a reason to run away." Lancelot held the same soft tone and it was making him feel warmth.

Merlin hummed agreeing but talking -even when he wanted to- was not working and hoped that at some point he would get his voice back. But he was sure that at some point with the care of the two, he would find his voice back.

"Let's gooo." Gwaine held a silly tone and making him giggle unintentional. His cheeks flushed and he hid his face in the others neck out of fear. Usually they would call his giggles ugly and freakish, making him insecure and that was why it was difficult for him to even giggle.

"Awe how adorable is the little kitten's laugh, don't you agree Lancy." Once again Gwaine's voice was silly but also cooing. But he could not get what was adorable about his freakish laugh. Everything was about him was freakish and this was all new but at the same time he felt familiar with this all.
