Merthur/Merlin one shot

Neko part 2

Merlin should had known that it would end up go wrong. It was not the first time and here he was right now being cornered by Bandits. His eyes narrowed as he dodged another person trying going to get him. This could be really bad and worse was that his poor companion got injured deadly.

There was no way that they would survive. His heart ached and he let his magic free. All of the bandits were thrown away. His breath was heavy and he walked slowly over to his friend. To the companion that had been there for him the past few weeks. It pained him but he could see that the death would soon come for his companion. Maybe he was lucky and the doe would survive this. All he could hope that they would not die.

So Merlin sat down and soothing the pain. It was the least he could do for his companion. Tears slowly rolled down as he curled into a ball. His ears flopped down and tail curled around him. He even made sure that the bandits would not find them.

"Dammit, why is it always the people that I care of getting harmed." He couldn't help but bitterly wonder about this. It was always people that were close to him and now once again someone paid for protecting him.

"Uh, is that-"

"Shh, don't."

There were hushed voices picked up by his hearing and making him flinch knowing exactly who the voices were. It was now that he realized that he had cried himself to sleep. Merlin also realized that it had not been a dream. His companion had died or that was what he thought. He could feel the heartbeat and this was confusing to him. Merlin had thought that for sure that the wounds that they received would be deadly.

Merlin realized another thing that the Bandits were not there anymore. Which was a good thing because he would had been sold for sure. The thought alone made this entire thing not better. Then again Merlin was not sure what would now happening with them finding him. He had yet opened his eyes and he really was not wanting to open them. He just wanted to continue sleeping and hiding from the real world.

Merlin also realized that his magic had stopped his illusion of him and his companion not being there. It was probably that his magic was thinking that they were not a threat to him and the doe.

"We should take him away from here. It's dangerous enough and I don't like him laying on the corpse of a doe." Arthur pointed out and he sniffed not wanting this.

This had been his companion and the thought alone of leaving them alone made him whimper. It was horrible to have this happening this had been his fault after all. Even as the doe (he decided that the name is Silvy as it was fitting) was nudging him softly, he was curling closer to Silvy.

"Arthur no. It's obvious that they meant something to him, so we aren't leaving the doe without at least a burial." Gwaine argued and it reminded him once again why he found the other like a brother to him.

"Ah, that makes sense. I am guessing that him being now uh, half cat, half human, is why he's attached to the doe?" It was more in a questioning manner and making him feel unsure now.

"Really Brother? He would had been attached anyway, you know how Merlin is, and to your information he's a neko, that's the name of the creature."  Morgana's voice sounded deadpanned (pretty sure I wrote it wrong, but cannot remember exactly how to write that word) and in the end it was said in an explanation tone.

"Oh and also, you all are morons. The doe is still alive, why is no one noticing this." The dry tone of Gwaine made him want to almost snort yet he had not. It was better that they thought that he was asleep then that he was awake.

"Ah, so he's not really a human any longer? Oh and he's right. Look the doe is protectively curled around of Merlin. It's almost as if it sees him as their fawn." This time it was Leon and making him wonder what else would be said.

Merlin found it rather interesting the Neko part and would have to research this but for now he would continue looking as if he was asleep. It was better then awake and he felt as too lazy to even have open his eyes anyway.

Someone was carefully going through his hair, making him turn towards the person and curl into the side liking the attention that was given to him. Merlin even purred, even when he was not wanting to, but he was too lazy as well as tired to be really be too bothered about being embarrassed about this.

"Well, he is still human but has as well Neko blood. I am guessing that his father must had at least had been a Neko. Or maybe some of the descendance might had it. Either way he will need some adjustments." This time it was Mordred that explained this and he realized that the person that was right now petting him was Mordred, as he heard it right next to him.

It was strange knowing that the two were there and not trying to kill them. Yet he also appreciated it and maybe this was why he fell asleep again, knowing that they would at least not reject him. That was at least what he hoped, and even when, he had at least Mordred and Morgana. 

A\N hope you enjoyed this and when you have any other ideas for a one shot I might try to write it. Hope you have a nice Sunday ^~^
