Merlin has fallen sick and Arthur can't bear it. It will make them confess some hard truths but that's the way it should be, isn't it?

Summary: A poem about Arthur's last moments with Merlin from his own point of view.

Merlin was about to leave Arthur's chambers but Arthur stopped him. <<It's too late. Sleep here. >> and so Merlin did. He sat on a chair and he fell asleep. ~Maybe he doesn't want to be alone now. Maybe those wounds have hurt his heart, not just his body.~ ⚠️: incomplete. Highest Ranking-> #1 in MerlinxArthur #384 in Fangirl.

Why do you care so much? The boy is just a servant. What if Arthur was the one to kiss Merlin instead of Gwen in 1x04 The Poisoned Chalice? After returning from the journey to retrieve the Mortaeus flower, then watching Merlin almost die and kissing him, Arthur is arrested for disobeying his father's orders to stay in Camelot. At least he has some time alone to think about why exactly he kissed Merlin. Merlin, on the other hand, can think about the same thing from the comfort of his home. When Arthur is released from prison, they both need to talk.
