Chapter 1: We've got work to do
In her whole life, she has never been so confused as right now. If she had a gift, that would be her ability to know what does bother peoples' mind. But right now, Morgana Le Fay had no idea what was going on with Arthur Pendragon's mind! All she was sure about was that if her friend kept walking up and down her floor, soon it would melt under his feet...
«Can you stand for a moment and finally tell me what is going on with you?!», she almost yelled, scaring him, pulling him out of his thought violently.
He looked at her, unable to speak at first, but then he just sighed. She knew that he had a tiny problem with words, he just couldn't express his thoughts. Even though she was really worried about him, she let him breath and clean his thoughts. Once he was ready, he began to speak. «I'm just feeling... different.», she stood silent as the night, letting him know that she needed to know more. «It's just... I can't sleep, I can't eat. The only thing I do is thinking! I even can't sleep with women!»
She looked at him shocked, with wide green eyes. «You seriously have a problem!»
«Yeah, thanks for notice!», he rolled his eyes, passing his hand through his blond hair. He sighed one more time, and then turned to her again. «So what do I do?»
The next thing he heard, was her laughter. Loud and annoying, she kept laughing, without paying attention to him.
«Morgana! Stop it!», but she didn't. «Ok, what looks so funny?! Huh?!»
While kept laughing, she tried to speak. «It's just you haven't a real problem, idiot! You're just in love!», she said as it was the most obvious thing in the world.
And then he didn't wanna hear. He didn't wanna feel. He didn't wanna speak. He didn't even want to think. He was in love... All the nightmares he had dreamed of came true. Love... What was love? Why was he in love? And the most important, with whom? He wasn't ready! He was too young for this! He wanted to live, to feel, to travel! Not be stuck with someone else for the rest of his days and in the end to be left hurted!
He was a coward in a world full of love.
Yet, he was wrong. Love didn't seek for brave hearts only. It just opens peoples' hearts and welcomes itself in.
He sat down, looking at the space. Morgana sighed and took a sat down too, next to him. Holding his hand, she forced him to look her in the eyes. «Arthur, look at me. It's all right! You don't have to worry or anything! It's normal!»
«But I'm not ready for this!»
«It doesn't matter, idiot! Love doesn't care if you're ready or not!», she tried to explain to him, but knew she couldn't force him to understand. She took a deep breath and then let it out, trying to think what she could tell him in the following moments. «Look... You're human, right? So, you're born to love! It's in your blood, you can't fight it! You just have to think now, who's the one who holds the keys of your heart?»
«Morgana, you know I don't like romantic stuff. So stop saying those things!»
She sighed once more, thinking that the idea of killing him right now seemed too good to refuse. But, she tried to calm her anger, anyway. «Who are you in love with, Arthur?», she asked, but he never gave her the answer.
«I... I don't know.», he knew that she wouldn't believe him but it was the truth.
«What do you mean by that? You can't just be in love, jackass!»
«I know! But... I don't know who's the one!»
She sighed, looking at him thoughtful. «We've got work to do.», she finally broke the silence between them and he couldn't agree more with her.
