I do not own Merlin, but I cannot wait until Season 5.
It's not like it was hard to notice. I mean, I'm not blind. Some things are easy to see if you're paying attention.
Merlin was one of those things.
I might be the prat, but I'm not the idiot.
In the beginning he was odd. I just couldn't comprehend why he was here, or just what he thought he was doing.
On his hands and knees scrubbing the floor.
I use to think that maybe I was just over thinking things, and this is the part where I use to interject with some thing witty about his inability to clean my chambers, and then tell him to go do something when he got an attitude, but that tends to happen less often now.
Now I'm starting to wonder why he even bothers at all.
Merlin sometimes gets this dumb look on his face, and suddenly he's making excuses, running out of rooms, and generally acting like a complete idiot. Then things start happening.
Often those things are bad.
Sometimes Merlin starts getting that look in his eye when he's talking to me, like he's having a completely different conversation then me.
It's weird, and it really makes me think that maybe Merlin isn't the open book he claims to be.
Then, he says, "You've never followed me out?" That makes me wonder what kind of man Merlin is, and why it is he feels the need to keep saving my life.
That makes me wonder why I keep trying to save his.
I wake up in strange places, after strange things happen.
Merlin mutters haphazardly constructed scenarios and I wonder if it's better not to think about it.
Somehow everything ends up turning out right.
I have been on my deathbed.
I have been faced with impossible quests.
I have gone into challenges knowing that there is no possible way for it to work, but believing that eventually everything will straighten itself out one way or another.
Just like magic.
Really, I'm not an idiot.
Yet I stand there and watch him scrub the floor of my chambers and can't help wondering what he's getting out of all of this. Is he going to take the stains out of my shirts and save my life every week and just not mention the part where he's probably lying to me.
Yet he just scrubs the floor on his hands and knees and I'm always left wondering when it comes to Merlin.
He's very puzzling.
