Merthur/Merlin one shot

Neko part 3

Merlin woke up after a while and feeling himself be well rested. His eyes stayed close and he was relieved that he still felt the feeling of fur close to him. Silvy was right next to him and he was curled on the belly as always.

Silvy was alive and from what he could feel of his magic as well healthy. A thing that he almost forgotten that Silvy was indeed alive. It was a relief to him and he was glad that the doe had not been harmed by anyone of his friends and mate.

The next thing that he felt was someone petting his head and he knew from his gut that it was Arthur. Never had he thought that the other would be that careful towards him. Yet here the King was, petting him and making him unsure what to feel of this. Would the other even accept him? The thought alone of the other rejecting him made him whimper instantly.

"You won't need to worry, your safe, Merlin and your other friend as well." The softness was noticed even with him feeling panicked. It helped him to calm down as he could hear the sincerity of his voice.

This was making his eyes slowly open and he felt content as realizing that even the expression showed the same emotion. Adding with a clear concern made him know that the other for sure would at least accept him.

"So um your not going to um ban me out of Camelot?" He couldn't help but ask as he wanted to be sure.

"You are right now a clotpole you know that? Why would I ban you, you moron." The tone was dryly said and he could just stare for a moment not expecting this.

"I just um..."

"You thought because your traits are none human would make me push you aside?"

"Um well uh yeah kinda. Just um..."

There was a snort heard coming from behind him that made him glance into the direction to see Silvy giving him a deadpan look and making him feel embarrassed now.

"See even the doe agrees of you being a moron right now."

"I- To be fair you just recently accepted magic but even now you sometimes tense and I just..." Merlin swallowed as he cut the sentence off.

Arthur let out a sigh and looking at him with such a softness that made him feel the most moronic person ever for running. There would had been no way that the other would reject him when he looked at Merlin with such an adorning look.

"I would never reject you, moron. I feel sometimes you don't use your brain. It's obvious that I love you but nooo you bloody stay oblivious." Arthur ranted and he could just stare as it sinks in what the other just said.

His heart sped up and cheeks felt heating up more by now. This was unexpected and he realized the looks that were given. God he was lucky that Uther was not alive any longer or else he would have died.

"Oh. Well uh I- Your my soulmate." He stumbled over his word until he blurted out the thing that his instincts told him.

"Good to know that fates are not screwing over us." The Arthur said with amusement and with a kiss on his temples. Leading for him to flush but knowing that it would not go well.

Gaius for sure scolded him and then there were the others that looked at him in confusion but awe as seeing a doe walk with him. Wherever he went, the doe was with him.

There was as well the knights that are amused at both of the doe being protective of him and at how Arthur was constantly holding his hands or kissing his cheeks temples or being affectionate to him. It was embarrassing for sure but he liked the attention Arthur gave him. It was sweet and how many times the other gave him roses or any other flowers or just other presents was something he still was not used to.

From what he got told that he was courting him as it was something that he expected. After all, that was the customs for a royal. It showed that the other wants for sure marrying him at some point. It was a relief, knowing that the other for sure wants him.

Merlin was not sure what it fully meant to be a neko but he knew that Arthur would for sure stay with him and that was enough for him. Even when he sometimes was conscious about his years and his tail, as well how acted, Arthur and his friend always showed that they are not caring about this, as for them he was still their Merlin.
