Worming: mention of blood and some OOC
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin in any way shape or form
Merlin was doing his daily choirs when he felt a stabbing pain in his side, when he looked at his side he saw his close already starting to turn red. He looked at it for a few more minuets before going back to his chores, the pain he felt was nothing new he is used to the pain from a wound reopening from his task. It probable would come as a surprise to most people that the ever happy servant would be used to something that most servants in Camelot never have to deal with. But not all servants have Merlin's destiny, not all servants have to deal with the everlasting mission to keep one prat of a prince alive every second of every day. By time Merlin was done with his choirs blood was already starting to leak through his shirt, Merlin silently cursed he may be used to having wounds. but no one else is used to seeing him with a wound he had been able to keep every injury he had for the last few years a secret from everybody even his mentor. Merlin quickly rushed to the physicians chambers for some fresh bandages and a new shirt before anyone notices the big stain of red. To bad for Merlin luck was not on his side and he ran into the pratty prince himself.
Arthur was making his way to his chambers when his idiotic manservant ran into him at first he was furious not at Merlin but everything today was just not his day. But all anger quickly left him as he saw how pail Merlin looked then when he looked closer he could actually see the pain on his servants face. Arthur frantically started running his eyes over Merlin's body to find the cause of his servants pain. When his eyes landed on a big red patch on his servants shirt he knew that was the cause of his servants pain. Right when Arthur was about to ask Merlin if he was alright he saw Merlin fall. Arthur moved even faster then he thought was possible to catch is servant. Before Arthur knew what he was doing he was running with Merlin in his arms towards the Physicians office. But as luck would have it the elderly physician was no were to be seen. So Arthur quickly set Merlin down on the patents cot and went in search for bandages to help stop the bleeding by time he found them and took of Merlin's shirt off he noticed that the bleeding had already stopped, but he also noticed numerous scars allover his torso. He wrapped up Merlin's wound then he finely took a deep and calming breath. He had enough experience to know Merlin would be fine until Gaius got back. When he calmed down he realized that the wound and multiple scars Merlin had were not made by accident and that someone had to do that to his servant. They were going to pay for hurting his servant, but they did not only hurt his servant they hurt his best friend and his family by all but blood and he promised himself that who ever hurt Merlin would fill the same pain Merlin felt, but much worse and who ever was unlucky enough to hurt Merlin in the future would also fill the same pain and that was a promise. No one hurts the princes family no one.
