~The Next Morning~

'Sire,are you awake?' said Gaius hoping that Arthur will open the door.

'Yes,come in 'said Arthur slighlty sleepy.

'Sire you don't look too well. Have you slept last night?. said Gaius worried.

'Yes, but I think is from the wine .I don't even know how could I drink that awful beverage' said Arthur disgusted.

'How is Merlin, Sire?' said Gaius looking through the room.

'Approach and see for yourself' said Arthur firmly.

'He is healing really fast. If we have luck by nightfall he will wake up.' said Gaius with hope in his voice.

'You know how much I like good news in the morning.' said Arthur with a smile on his face.

'Sire may I ask you a question?' said Gaius nervously.

'Anything you want' said Arthur looking for his schedule.

'Why are you caring so much about Merlin?' said Gaius in a firm voice.

'Because I care about my servants.' said Arthur slightly offended.

'Sire, I know that you care about us but Merlin isn't a servant at least not yet' said Gaius with a questionable look on his face.

'Not yet but when he gets better he will be my servant.' said Arthur firmly.

'As you wish Sire. I better go and prepare his medicine.' said Gaius in an instant.

'You may go' said Arthur shaking his hand from the other part of the room.

'If you need something please request me' said Gaius leaving the room.

'I won't hesitate' said Arthur taking a seat near Merlin.

*What did you do to me? Why I am having those strange feelings for you? Why did you do this to me?Do you know how hard will it be for me? What am I suppose to tell my father when he founds me a wife? And more important what if you don't love me back?* asked Arthur with a frustated look on his face taking Merlin's hand waiting for a response.

He was about to leave when he felt Merlin squeezing his hand. He than slighlty opened his eyes.

'I love...you'  said Merlin barely breathing.

'I love you too'  said Arthur with a big smile on his face.

'Now rest and we will talk when you wake up.' said Arthur planting a firm kiss on Merlin's soft lips.

'Arthur what is with this charade?' asked Uther angrily.

'Father I can explain.'  said Arthur frightend.

'What is to explain? Why did you brought this stranger in your chambers?' asked Uther.

'Me and Gwaine went hunting the other morning and Gwaine wound him very badly.' said Arthur with sadness in his eyes.

'Well that means that he is Gwaine's responsability not yours'. said Uther firmly.

'Merlin is my responsability!' shout Arthur.

'And may I ask why? Isn't he a stranger' asked Uther.

'No, he is much more than that'. said Arthur looking hurt.

'I doubt that. When have you meet him?' said Uther laughing.

'Three days ago.' said Arthur looking at Merlin.

'Three days ago?!. And you let him sleep in your bed.' said Uther laughing.

'He is...my servant' said Arthur quietly so Merlin wouldn't hear him.

'Arthur you are a good boy but don't show any mercy in public because we don't want our enemys to think that we are weak. Because I wouldn't sleep with my enemy in my bed' said Uther firmly leaving the room.

Merlin's POV
'I participed to the whole conversation indirectly and I feel that I am getting myself into some big trouble even though I have feelings for Arthur. And it seems that he has the same feelings as me even though when I arrived he tried to break my neck. I think that love is supposed to hurt, right? Well not in that way but it is a start. I think my great destiny has big plans with me even though I wouldn't leave this bed even if it was set on fire. Well maybe then because I don't like fire and my purpose is to stay alive for Arthur so don't die Merlin, don't die.'
