Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin

A/N I really really like the idea of Merlin and Morgana as a couple and I had this idea so I thought I'd write it down while I remembered it xD It is only my second fic (well I'm sort of in the middle of my first one) and I would love to hear your opinions and advice so I can make it better : ) Enjoy :D

No Sound but the Wind

Morgana's hair whipped around her pale, tense face as she gazed, eyes unfocused, out at the view that her and Merlin had become familiar with. She stood; back to the man she loved at the edge of a great cliff, crumbling away at her feet as the waves crashed up against it hundreds of feet below.

Merlin sat, head in his hands just behind her, a tear trickling down his sculpted cheek. The heavy clouds pressed down upon the silent couple. In his mind, Merlin saw himself and Morgana laughing, chasing each other, laying next to one another and gazing down at the beautiful view. He remembered their conversations, each one, remembered the way her nose crinkled as she laughed and how she looked at him. She had been his best friend, his only companion in a world that seemed to be against him, but all that had changed now. Merlin's memories flickered in his mind and came to rest on his first kiss with Morgana.

Here on this same cliff, the wind threatening to blow them both away, Morgana had looked into Merlin's eyes and whispered;

"You have magic."

The wind had been so loud that Merlin had thought for a second he'd imagined it, but one look at Morgana's eyes told him he hadn't. He had nodded and replied;

"So do you."

At that, a tear had fallen down Morgana's cheek and without thinking, Merlin had wiped it away.

"Hey? What's wrong?" he'd said as Morgana looked away.

"I've never told anybody before." She murmured, more tears tumbling from her sparkling eyes. "I thought I was alone."

Merlin smiled, "We are alone." He whispered, moving his face close to hers. "But I'm alone with you." And then he had kissed her.

Merlin's head jerked up, the memory was too painful to recall. His eyes rested on Morgana who hadn't moved, and he stood up and walked towards her.

"Don't Merlin. I've made up my mind."

Merlin stopped, eyes burning. He blinked back tears and called out;

"Please, not like this. I promise one day-"He looked around, searching for the right words to convince her.

"One day we will be free, appreciated even. But not today."

Apart from her dress billowing out behind her, Morgana didn't move.

"Trust me!" he called out to her.

"Just leave me Merlin." Came a voice, tight with emotion, from the statue-like Morgana.

Merlin's feet carried him away from Morgana, though his heart screamed to turn and run back to her, to stop her. When he was out of sight, he stopped trying to hold back his emotion. Tears flowed freely from his eyes and caused many concerned looks from passersby but Merlin was beyond caring.

He had known this day would come, the Dragon had been warning him incessantly not to get close to the witch but Merlin had ignored his advice, telling himself that he could prevent it.

Of course, when Morgause had turned up in Camelot, Merlin had done his best to keep Morgana away from her. He had hoped that he would be enough for the troubled sorceress, that she wouldn't go looking for Morgause, and for answers. But today he had found out that her hatred of Uther was stronger than her love for him. She had told him her and Morgause' plan to kill the King, smiling encouragingly.

"It will be just like we talked about, remember? Free to use our magic in the open, not in fear of capture."

He had shaken his head as she recited how it would be better for everyone, how even Arthur would realise eventually what a favour they had done for him. Merlin could tell these were not her words though, he could still see the traces of doubt in her eyes, and as he tried to talk her out of it he thought he saw her waver. But she stood her ground, temper flaring,

"I thought you of all people would understand Merlin!" she had shouted. "I thought you'd be happy!"

"Happy? Morgana you're plotting murder! More than that, you're plotting to murder your father! How could that make me happy?"

"We're doing this for us!" she exclaimed, face lighting up as she ran over and took Merlin's hands.

"No you're wrong." Merlin had said, backing away from her. "We're not doing this. You're doing this." He sat down a few metres behind her and she turned away and faced the sea.

"Fine." He heard her say, addressing the ocean. "We don't need you- Morgause and I- we can do it without you."

And they had stayed there all afternoon. Not speaking, but not able to turn away and totally dessert each other.

A/N I don't really have a fixed plot line so I'm not really sure where I'm going with this, or if it is going to be a one-shot so please review and tell me what you think! Also, the timings and events might not match up with the episodes, I will try though :D R&R? Thank you :D
