Merlin One-Shots

Merthur: Telling Arthur

It was very early when I had to wake up and go down to Arthur. Not that I was complaining. One of my favorite times of the day is right before I have to wake the prince up. He always seemed so peaceful while he was asleep and that's why I always give him a few extra minutes of sleep while I get everything ready. I was already fully awake just thinking of Arthur. I quietly walked past the sleeping Gauis as I left to get the prince his breakfast. I quickly walked past and grabbed the plate of food as well as an apple for myself.

"Merlin, you're late." I heard as I opened the door.

"Sorry sire." I said trying not to sound disappointed.

"Are you alright Merlin?" he asked as he stood up from his bed.

"Of course sire." I replied, my voice shaking.

"You aren't sick are you?" he walked up in front of me and pressed his hand to my head, checking for a fever.

"No sire." I felt my face turn red from his close proximity.

"You feel warm though."

"I am fine!"

I hadn't meant to yell at him but his persistence was getting annoying.

"I just want to look out for you is all. No need to yell at me." he said backing away.

"I'm sorry sire." I was staring at my feet at this point.

"Did you eat anything yet?" he asked sitting down at the table in the room.

"Just an apple." I replied.

"Come here then. I can share." he said motioning to the chair next to him.

"I can't. It wouldn't be right Arthur..."

He stood back up and grabbed my hand, dragged me over to the seat and pulled me onto his lap so I couldn't move. My face felt hot again and I knew it was bright red due to his actions. Arthur grabbed the fork from next to his plate and stabbed something. And he held the fork up to my lips.

"I won't stop unless I see you eat something." he whispered in my ear.

I shivered unwillingly and opened my mouth to accept the food.

"Better." he laughed and took a bite of food himself.

I watched him as he did something as normal as eating and couldn't help but find it attractive.

"I like you better like this." Arthur said randomly.

I turned bright red again at his comment and struggled to get out of his grasp.

"Merlin, just give up. We both know that I am stronger than you." he said pulling me against his chest.

Then I noticed that he had his lips on my neck and they were traveling up to my face.

"Arthur. I need to tell you something." I said shakily.

"Hmm?" he didn't move away from me so I decided to spill.

"I'm in love with you."

At this he just moved his hand to my cheek and turned me towards him. And he kissed me.
