Merlin huffed out as waiting for Arthur to wake up and giving him an earful. He had enough. Even Gaius realized his bad mood and that was why he decided to stay quiet.

"Hello, sleepy beauty. How about you not going to run away with a princess you don't even know that long, maybe three days?"

He said after Arthur was a bit more awake, and the said male gave him an eyebrow raise.

"I am just going to leave you two be."

He nodded and glaring fiercely now at the prince. This was enough to tick him off. Gaius left and he was alone now.

"When did you think of telling me that you remember or that you are Renato hm? Do you have any fucking idea how much I was hurt by this all?"

In the end, his voice cracked slightly as he sniffed. He felt like crying again. Arthur hadn't said anything yet. Until now, with a surprised yet confused expression.

"I- what did I do?"

The voice sounded as confused and he huffed out as eyes were a blazing golden. He was that ticked off and hurt right now. So that he had even tears rolling down. It was a silent cry. No hiccup nothing. Just tears rolling down, and he continues to rant his frustration on the male who caused this.

"You got yourself bewitched and almost died. I had to drag your ass back to Camelot. This is the -I don't even know- how many attempts on your life. I can't anymore. Do you have any ideas on how I felt when I saw you fall in love with Sophie? To the point that you wanted to married her? Probably not because you don't think about others. Just a self-centered jerk you are."

All the bottled emotions came up now and, in the end, he started to break down in crying even more. This time sobs wracked through his frames, and you could hear how heartbroken, how sorrowful, and how frustrated he was right now. Merlin just couldn't hide his pain any longer from the male in front of him. Arthur opened his mouth, but closing it again. Expression troubled and he wasn't caring. See not even now he has the balls to apologize. Not even one thank you or your welcome. Was that too much to ask? He was done. This was the end.

"Okay, come here."

He sniffed and looked at him in a cautious manner, but in the end climbed on the bed. As soon as he has done this; he got pulled into a broad chest.

"Sorry. I was that caught up with me fearing you rejecting me, that I didn't realize how hurt you must be."

His eyes widen now as he hearts this. Was this a confession? Was Arthur now really telling him what he thinks he is saying? He hugged him now tightly and burying his face into his chest; tears still flowing down. As soaking the clothes Arthur was right now wearing.

"I didn't know what to do or how to tell you, and at first it was because you were hurt. But later at some point, I just wasn't sure how to tell you that I fell for you so yeah..."

He sniffed now and was planning to pull away -but Arthur wasn't letting him- so that they ended up like this a bit more. Now he pulled away and looking up with anxious eyes.

"So you really mean it? I need to know because Death will bite me in the ass."

His body was tense and he looked everywhere else. Just the thought alone that he was getting rejected was too painful. He hoped that this life is different, and it seemed right now that it was, because of what he heard him say next...

"Yes, I was in love in your last life, but I was scared and rejected you. It wasn't fair that I have done this. I caused you pain. Pain that could have been avoided. And was the Death rhetorical or would Death literally bite you in the ass?"

His eyes looked up and once again a blazing golden was seen on his eyes. His sky flames lashed out, and that just when Death was mentioned.

"I died because of him. Because he thought he wanted to play. A game which was the reason I died and everyone else as well. Death knew this life that I was close with my guardians and that is why he killed them as well."

Ice cold voice, ice-cold eyes with anger -no scratch this- furiousness seen in his eyes. But this time it will be different because he won and he knew that Death would come to his 19th birthday and this will finally be over.
