The Angry Servant

My sorcerer and my friend

So I'm finally back. I'm so sorry for the wait, but I have had some personal issues that has made my life a bit harder and I have had no focus to write. But here's the last chapter. I'm sorry if it ends a bit weird, but that's what I can come up with at the moment. If you feel like you have a better way to end it, please write to me. I will gladly take ideas.

Arthur took a step back like Merlin had hit him. "You have been on Morganas side all this time"? He asked.
If Merlin wasn't as angry as he were he would had laughed. "I don't work with Morgana" he said and took a step against Arthur.
Arthurs eyes were filled with tears that he struggled to keep back. Merlin was the one person he had thought he could trust. His one true friend. Loyal to the death. "Why do you hate me"? He asked.
This time Merlin had to laugh. It was just so funny that that prat couldn't see how awful he was. "That's a excellent question my lord" he said and nodded like he had to think about it.
"Maybe it's because you treat me like I'm dirt. After all the things we have been through and you still see me as an idiot. You hunt and kill my kin. You still doesn't trust magic. You have made everyone around you knights. You have just walked around like 'hey drunken simpleton, be my knight. And you my lovers brother you can also be a knight, but Merlin can't. I have only been by your side for years now. I have always been there and protected Camelot, but no. He can continue being the clumsy servant to the day he dies!" Merlin yelled.
All desire to laugh was gone and only the burning hate was left. Arthur had taken another step back. Merlin was so gone in all the things he hated about Arthur that he didn't care what he was saying. "You never see how much I try to make you happy. You don't see anything" he yelled with tears in his eyes.
"Have you any idea how much it hurts to see you with Gwen? Have you any idea of the many times I have considered to leave. To get away? But because of my stupid destiny I can't. I have to be here and protect you" Merlin had given up on trying to hold the tears back.
He could feel the rage slowly disappear and being replaced with heartbroken sorrow. "I just want you to see me" Merlin said.
He collapsed on the floor with his head in his hands. He didn't want to look up at Arthur. He just wanted to be buried in a little dark hole. He looked up startled, when a hand was put on his shoulder. Arthur sat on his knees in front of him with tears running down his cheeks. Merlin sobbed like a kicked puppy and was curled into a little ball in Arthurs lap. Arthur took his arms and put them around the smaller man. Merlin couldn't control the wild sobs there escaped his lips or the way his whole body shook. "I'm sorry" Arthur mumbled and kissed the dark hair. Merlin took a firm grip in Arthurs shirt and hold on to it like it was the only thing keeping him alive. "I'm so sorry" Arthur repeated.
He rested his cheek on his head head. "Morgana" Merlin said between sobs.
Arthur stiffened. "She tied me up in her hovel" Merlin told.
Arthur lifted his head. "I don't understand" he said confused.
"She put a spell on me" Merlin continued.
Arthur took a grip in Merlins shoulders and lifted him up so he sat in front of him.
"So you're not really angry at me"? He asked with hope in his voice. Merlin started to shake his head, but then he nodded instead. "I am mad" he whispered with tears still running down his cheeks.
"Tell me exactly why you're mad" Arthur said.
It hurt him to see Merlin like this. He just wanted his cheerful manservant back. Merlin closed his eyes and started to shake all over. "I can't. I want to kill you" he whispered.
Arthur lifted Merlin head and made him look at him. "Tell me" he said in a low voice.
"You never see the things I do for you"! he suddenly shouted.
Arthur could see the crazy anger come back in his eyes. "I'm sorry Merlin. You're the bravest and most loyal friend I have and you have no idea about how much more brave you make me every time you ride with me into danger" Arthur said.
"You don't understand" Merlin said angrily and stood up.
"It was me who send the great dragon away when it attacked. It was me who helped Lancelot killing the griffin. I saved Uthers life when Edwin tried to kill him. It was me who killed Sofia and her father when they tried to sacrifice you to Avalon. It was me and not Will who made that storm there saved us all back in Ealdor. I killed the sorcerer Nimueh to save you, my mother and Gaius. I stopped the Knights from Idirsholas. I saved our lives back in the castle of Fyrien. I killed the manticore. I made Gili stop using magic so he didn't kill you. I destroyed the goblet of life so you could kill the immortal army. I gave you Excalibur. I have done so many things for you that you don't know" Merlin said.
Arthur couldn't believe what he was hearing. How could his clumsy servant have done all of those things? "How"? Arthur asked silent. Merlin clenched his fists before shouting: "with magic you're stupid prat".
Arthur had no idea what to say. "I know that you want to burn me now, but I don't care. If you try I will kill you and even if you don't I-".
"Thank you" Arthur interrupted. Merlin shot his mouth close. "What"? He asked confused.
"Thank you for every thing you have done for me and for Camelot. I don't know how I could have been so blind not to see it" he said honestly.
Merlin opened his mouth, but then he closed it again. Arthur took a slow step forward against the boy, but Merlin took a step back. "That's not all" he said.
Arthur looked down. "Gwen"? He asked.
Merlin turned to the window. "No. I'm happy for Gwen".
Merlin was pulling his sleeves, still with his back turned to the King.
Suddenly he turned. "I don't get it. Why aren't you more upset about me being a sorcerer?"
Arthur shook his head and looked away for a moment. He had a hard time forming his words. He actually felt kinder betrayed, but mostly because Merlin didn't tell him. "I just have a hard time seeing you as evil" he said slowly.
Merlin smirked and turned to the window. "You do realise that I have tried to murder you the last couple of days right".
Arthur took a step closer to his manservant. "But you said it your self. You're under Morganas spell".
Merlin didn't answer. "You're not trying to kill me right now" Arthur stated.
"I want to" Merlin mumbled.
Arthur turned and kicked a chair so it broke. Merlin jumped startled. "Sorry" he said tiredly and put his head on his hands.
Merlin looked confused at him. He could feel his anger disappear. How could the curse just go away? But the more he thought about it he realised that he hadn't anything to be mad about anymore. Arthur had apologised and even said thank you. "She's going to be so mad" Merlin mumbled.
"Who?" Arthur asked and looked up at him.
"Morgana. When she realise that he little plan failed".
Arthur looked skeptical at him. "You're not mad?"
Merlin shook his head. Arthur stood up and embraced his friend tightly. "I promise you, that I never more will forget what you do for me. What you mean to be. My sorcerer and my friend".
