Merthur/Merlin one shot

Dumbelasswhipe did it again (Merlin de-aged) part 6

Being back a toddler was annoying. No one was taking him really serious and he could not blame them. They were overprotective and he felt useless. His mind was spiraling a lot these days and there was often where he broke down crying. Worse was the nightmares that he got and Merlin could even after knowing he was safe, not talking.

Every time he tried his throat felt closed off. Merlin could not really explain the feeling that he had whenever he tried to talk. Harry was as concerned but even he had been having nightmares and both soon realized that it was better to sleep in the same bed. It was helping them fend out their nightmares. Yet even when they slept in the same bed, they still went  and maybe this was why they hurried now with an appointment to a mind healer. 

That was why he was hiding under the bed once again not wanting to go to one. How could he even do this when he was not able to talk. They all were meanies and he wanted to be left alone. No one could help a freak that he was. Gwaine tried to coax him out and anyone else of his hiding space yet so far none managed.

This upsetted Harry and yelling at them to get lost. It surprised them but more then this they were proud to see his brother protective of him. Merlin was pretty sure that they found it adorable and were impressed. 

He on the other hand felt even more stressed out. This all sucked a lot and he would not even come out even when Arthur would call him with his king voice.

"Alright, that is it. Everyone out Mrs. Rose is here and I don't appreciate you scaring him more." This made him relax slightly as the other left now that Arthur had said this. His soulmate at least was not trying to get him out of this place.

As they left he was letting out a sigh. 

"How about this? Harry, you and myself will talk together and you won't be alone. Would that help?" Once again it was said and he thought about it but was really unsure. Yet he decided that it would not help hiding.

That was why he slowly crawled out and avoiding looking at both his brother and his soulmate. The other let out a sigh and pulled him into his chest. As always he stiffens but soon relaxing into the arms. 

"Les do dis." Harry softly said and he slightly smiled at how adorable his brother was. Harry looked determinated and he knew that it should be fine.

Mrs. Rose had explained to them that both had abandonment fear, ptsd, anxiety, him having bi-polar disorder, fear of strangers. Both as well held fears of dogs because of Ripper, with how the dog tried to bite them. 

After the first appointment many more came and he realized that it did help. Yet even after months, Merlin stayed silent. It for sure worried and even after he ended up growing back to his adult self it stayed this way. The worse was that he was a head smaller because of the damage. Making him upset and this led for him to break down. 

His mood swings were not helping. Yet they stayed and he loved his friends. They all had helped him through yet he also realized that sometimes he subconsciously ended up acting younger.

From cuddling with plushies up to playing with things that were meant for toddlers. Usually these times were whenever he was stressed and it happened often after having a nightmare or after the appointments with Rose. Anything could cause him to regress and he realized that it was his coping mechanism. It helped him with stress and they occasionally ending up doing regression in their appointment. 

There was another thing Dumbledore. It seemed that the male had been to fault for him being a toddler. The male had used a lot of compulsions, potions and it seemed that him not being to talk was because of a curse.

Morgana and Mordred soon found out how to break it, but it was still difficult to talk. It would take months years even for him to be better. This was what everyone realized. Then came the letter from Gringotts that there was something wrong with the vaults of Harry. Meaning that he had to check that out. What they found out was really pissing him off but not just him, others as well. There was as well Harry being a Horcrux and the goblin's found more then just one. It took a month to have everything be over with and Voldemort would never come back, that was made sure by both Goblins, and his other friends.

Let's just say that Dumbledore would never be a issue anymore after Morgana and Mordred went to the papers anonymously, making sure that everyone knew what this old coot had done. Slowly he lost all of the people that allied with him. One by one he lost his influence and that made them safer. 

At least now they could heal better and there was as well found that the godfather of Harry, had never had a trial. It also meant that they found out that Sirius black had been innocent to the ire of both Harry and him. It pissed both off that they could had gone to Sirius instead.

There was as well Remus and the male sadly never managed to find Harry. Even when the other would had found out, it would not matter as per law Remus was a werewolf. A thing that they found out and it made no sense. The male was not dangerous to the people of his pack. The only time it could be dangerous was once a month. 

Either way it took Sirius another few weeks to get at least well enough to meet them. Meeting both of the males had been something that made his fear once again, Harry seemed to be more at ease. It was for sure that his magic recognized the two from before this entire fiasco. 

It went rather well otherwise and the other turning into a dog made him hide behind Arthur instantly out of fear. Harry was as well hiding behind Gwaine at this. Even as Padfoot (that was what the male wanted Harry and him to call the other) whimpered they stayed hidden.

It was explained by Arthur about the issues they held and the two looked pissed off. It showed that they cared but still it unnerved him, thinking that he had done something. Leading for him regress instantly and bursting into tears.

"Calm yourself or I will drag your asses out of here." Gwaine's voice snapped, not helping his fear.

Leading for his magic to decide that it was way too much, and soon he felt everything grow to his confusion. Not helping at all with his panic, and Arthur had to pick him up and slowly rock him, as putting a paci in his mouth. It took a lot of calming down but when he done, he stayed hidden with his face not wanting to be seen by any of the adults. He was sure that when hiding his face, they could not see him as well. 

"And this is why you not scare us." Harry huffed out as feeling some change as Arthur sat down with him on his lap, and him still stayed this way.

"Next time we will be more careful. I just..."

"I know you meant well Padfoot but I explained to you to be carefull."

There was some bickering and he felt just exhausted by now. Making him grumpy and wanting to sleep. He huffed as snuggling into the arms and slowly letting his eyes drop. Merlin knew that he would be safe around Arthur. 

A\N What else would you want to see? I feel like this was a good ending. Might sometimes add more but I don't know what else to add. XD
