Merthur/Merlin one shot

What if not just Merlin has magic but Arthur as well? Part 2

It was now a month later and he swallowed thickly as he saw that Uther was once again executing a sorcerer for helping someone with magic. That person just healed his sick wife, as not even a physician could rescue. He hated this and grits his teeth. There was nothing he could do, and all he could do was watching. In the end, he was dragged away. And to his horror, this time Uther decided to execute this person today not like usual the next day. 

"I am going. I don't feel so well."

With this, he walked away. The guilt was too much and he really felt like throwing up right now. The screams sometimes ringing in his mind. It was always something that he couldn't agree with his father. So far he had hidden this and he could never say anything like this to him. Uther wouldn't agree and would lock him in his room, or worse he would end up in a dungeon. As he was in his room his breath shuddered and he walked up to his bed, sitting down and burying putting his hands in front of his face.

'This isn't fair. The person did nothing wrong. Maybe I should dethrone him? Uther clearly lost it and people slowly starting to get angsty...'

A sigh escaped. When this continued on there will be riots. People will demand a new king and he wouldn't even be surprised anymore. Uther is messing up more and more. As soon he would be king, he will change the law, both laws. One was the magic law, that you can use magic. Of course, not for evil will. And the other one was that you can love whoever you want. Same-gender, no occupation was mattering. Love is love and Uther could never agree and would just execute these people. What no one knew, -not even his best friends- that he fancied males, not females. 

Not too soon afterward the door was opened. And it got closed softly afterward. He let go of his hands and seeing both of his best friends walk inside. Merlin looked as anxious then he was. Their eyes met and he gave him a pointed look and a nod. The younger male walked up to him and sitting right next. Arthur silently put an arm around him and pulled him into a side hug. 

He knew how much this was bothering Merlin. He knew how much he was suffering from this. Merlin never liked seeing people die. And it was breaking the other male more and more. As soon as he had pulled him into a hug, the shaking was felt. Soon almost quiet sob was felt and then wetness. His eyes trailed to Gwaine. Both had eye contact for a moment and silently communicating...

'This needs to stop. Look at Merlin. Let's dethrone Uther. He clearly lost it.'

'I was thinking as well as doing this. But we need to be subtle about this. Want to tell Merlin?'

'I wouldn't mind telling him. He has the right to help. And with him, we will be unstoppable and I was on it actually. Let's wait until he has calmed down.'

He nodded and glanced down. Merlin was still sobbing and he felt horrible seeing him like this. It was times like this, that he cursed his father. It was he who caused so much suffering so much sorrow. Merlin knows many sorcerer's, druids and warlocks. This fueled his want to dethrone the male. And no one could stop him.

A few minutes later, Merlin had calmed down and he let out a sigh. There was a silence between each other and then they had eye contact. 

"I know what you are planning and I am in. This needs to stop. Let's do this today. Maybe we can stop that male execution. At the time it happened. We still have around 4 hours."

Both males nodded and Gwaine told them to follow. The three made their way towards the forest with ease and no one noticing. With both of them using magic -which made them invisible-  it was easy to sneak out. It was around 15 mintues that they were now at some hideout. It was a cave. As they entered Arthur awed. There were many people there and all eyes now were on him. It was obvious why and he gave them a friendly smile.

"I am here to join riots and end this all. We plan to dethrone Uther once and for all. He went too far with executing people who had done nothing wrong."

People looked at him wide-eyed and he breathed out, as he looked at each peoples eyes, as muttering something under his breathe and show them a flame in his palms which was formed like a dragon. His eyes turned back to his usual color and people looked more awed now. Two people stepped outside, Leon and Percival. They gave each other a nod, but not saying anything. 

"I am a warlock. Like my friend next to me.  So am I in now?"

The people nodded and they started to plan.

After 3 hours they managed to get a rather well planned, plan. They started to walk out with hoods on their heads. This wouldn't be easy but they would manage to do it...

.

Everything was chaos, and Arthur got separated from his two best friends. But at least they managed to get at least the said male out of harm's way. They still managed to dethrone Uther, but with a price. He got killed and he was not sure what to feel. When he finally found Merlin and Gwaine he saw that Merlin was injured. The said young man was grimacing and he could see that he used most of his magic.  His eyes widen and he rushed now towards him and glanced around. People were right now too busy to really realize. So that he had free reign to use his magic. He put his hand on the wound and hearing Merlin's breathe shudder.

He saw that he was just half-conscious and when he wouldn't do something fast, he could die. That was why he muttered under his breathe a healing spell and slowly the wound closed. Merlin was looking at him with wide eyes, but soon he saw the exhaustion taking over the said male. A sigh escaped as he picked him up now. Gwaine and he had eye contact and starting to walk inside, but not before he said something...

"I will have an announcement to make later on. But right now, it's not the best time. Oh and people who have magi, use it to heal. There are after all injured people or not?"

He winked at the people and walked away. Knowing that everyone was gobsmacked by him saying this. Leon and Percy were now rushing over and he could see the concern in their eyes.

"Don't worry he...will be fine. The most dangerous wound got healed. He will need rest and won't be working until he is back to 100 percent."

His expression was soft and he glanced down to see that Merlin was frowning. As well some muttering and he winced at what he heard...

"Please, don't take Arthur away. I don't want to lose him...please...stop..."

His lips turned into a thin line. He walked away, leaving both of the two knights there. When he was sure that no one was looking, he mutters a small spell. That spell should help against nightmares. Soon a peaceful look was on Merlin and he let out a sigh. This was exhausting. And as soon as the rest of the wounds were taken care of, he will take a nap,

---

It was now a month and everything ended up well. No one was being against him legalizing magic, some were against the same gendered thing. But they soon shut up or left Camelot for good. None should have to fear to get executed for something that they couldn't choose. Love is love.

Since the two laws, he announced as well that he had magic and was a warlock. And another announcement was that he wasn't liking females but males. He did first tell his best friend and they were accepting. There was as well the fact that Merlin told him, his love confession. It made him feel happy because he felt the same way. 
 
At some point, Merlin ended up crowned as well and they lived happily ever after.
