A/N: This story was inspired from Lenin's when Merlin became his bride... I decided to have a love story of my own. This might be slightly OOC considering I've never written a Merlin fic before... and a heads up for the sake of this story Morgana figured out about her magic long before Merlin ever came to Camelot..and she's good, well, good for her anyway. Enjoy!

Warning: This is boyxboy so if you don't like it. Leave. NO flames because someone didn't bother to read the warning. -_-

Disclaimer: I do not own the BBC's Merlin, I'm merely borrowing they're characters and weaving a fiction with them.

~A revelation spell~

It was mid-august, a day just like any other for the small village of Belfast, well except for the fact that there were screams coming from the woods. The wives hurried they're children inside fearing that another beast had plagued the city. What they didn't know was the dark truth, in those woods the prince of Camelot fought valiantly to save someone he cared about, someone close to death.

"Merlin! What the hell are you doing! Fight her back dammit." Arthur quickly dodged a blow directed at his throat and thrust his sword into his enemies shoulder, causing him to fall. "MERLIN! I can't fight them all!" the servant lay on the ground body twitching as though he was fighting something.

"arthur...ARthur! It's a...trap. Run. Leave me...RUN!" the unconscious male pleaded.

Another male stepped up and tried to swing for Arthur's unguarded arm, Arthur blocked and punched the male in the nose making him shout out in agony. "you.." the prince panted. "you idiot I'm not leaving you." A foreign voice spoke "If you wish to leave young Pendragon you must do it without the boy."

"No, NO!" Arthur shouted, a crazed look in his eyes.

"Why do you care about him so much? After all he's just a manservant. A clumsy. Pathetic. Traitor!"

"You watch your tongue! If they're is one thing I know about Merlin it's that he is NOT a traitor." the prince quickly ran over to the boys side. "Come on Merlin fight her! You have to break her spell over you!"

"Oh I see...he never told you." the voice replied amused.

"Told me what?"

"Shut up! Get..outta my head!" a loud roar sounded from Merlin..it sounded like more than one person was screaming...it had a power behind it that made the prince shiver in fear.

Ah but this is not where our story begins. This story began about a month ago, on a rainy day.

"MERLIN! Haven't you killed that bloody rat yet!" Arthur bellowed.

"U-um about that.." Merlin stammered.

"So you haven't?"

"No."

"Explain to me, why on EARTH I've kept you around again? You can't cook, can't clean, can't hunt, and you let a RAT outsmart you!"

Merlin stood there with his head bent, suddenly the floor became really interesting. "Sorry sire."

Arthur froze mid rant "What did you just call me?"

"Sire." Merlin repeated.

The prince quickly walked up to his servant and placed a hand over his forehead.

Merlin flinched away "What are you doing?"

"Checking to see that your not ill. You've worked for me for over a year and not once have you called me sire in private."

"Sorry Arthur. I don't feel well, I'm going to go find Gaius" and Merlin quickly ran out the door.

'What was that about. He's been acting strange since that whole Cornelius Segan thing, maybe I should...nah. This is Merlin we're talking about. He'll be back to prattling on about Ealdor in no time.' Arthur thought.

He walked around his room for a minute or two finding himself with nothing to do when a knock sounded.

"Enter."

The door creaked open to reveal lady Morgana.

"Morgana" sighed Arthur, "What do I owe the pleasure?" the sarcasm dripped from his voice.

The beautiful woman stormed in with a scowl, absentmindedly sweeping her long curly brown hair back off her shoulder. "Cut the crap. What did you do this time?"

The prince schooled his face and took a seat at the table "What are you going on about?"

The ethereal girl took a seat by Arthur and shouted "MERLIN!" exasperatedly, "He looked like a kicked puppy in the hallway!"

Arthur visibly winced.

"So you do know..out with it."

"Well. I got on Merlin about him not being able to catch the rat in my chambers."

"What did he say?"

"Well he called me 'sire' and stormed out saying he didn't feel well."

"Arthur."

"What?"

"Your a prat." Morgana frowned.

"You can't address me that way I'm the prince for gods sakes!"

"You replace Merlin with someone else just because they polish your ego and clean without a grumble, and then when you rehire Merlin you complain about his work! You make Merlin feel like he's going to be replaced at any moment AGAIN." Morgana huffed. "I swear I know your oblivious to feelings but I didn't know you were THAT far gone."

"You mean Merlin is acting like that...because he doesn't want to get replaced?"

"Yes, now if you'll excuse me I have dinner to attend with Uther." she got up and walked to the door but stopped before closing it. " And Arthur. You better make it up to him. He's stayed by you, saved you, he's your most loyal servant... he's your friend, your only friend, don't you forget that." and with that the door closed and Morgana's heels faded away leaving the prince to think about things.

'Maybe she's right' Arthur walked to his open window and stared out across his land so deep in thought that he didn't hear her return. The lady Morgana quietly tip-toed out of her shoes and walked over to his goblet 'This will teach him to be emotionally constipated.' "Arthur Pendragon a dhéanamh ar an grá atá dall a thabhairt duit dúisigh, nochtann an duine do chroí mian leis go fírinneach. Ná dhiúltú do chroí ar bith níos faide!" her eyes flashed a stunning shade of gold, then she quickly grabbed her shoes and ran out with a evil smile.

Arthur heard a noise and looked around to find nothing, he sat down at his table again and took a drink of his favorite mead. Immediately he felt sick and decided to go to sleep and send for the physician later.

XoxoxooxOXoxxoxox'oooOXOXOooxox

'Why does he always mock me? Maybe I should've just let Cedric stay as his servant... He seemed a hell of a lot happier with him.'

The young warlock quickly walked into the physician's chambers. Noting the smells of rosemary, thyme, honey, and various other herbs.

"Ah Merlin.. could you give me a hand? I'm making a tincture of the lobelia plant. It's supposed to be good for aches and pains." The elderly man smiled at him until he noticed his almost-nephew's pained expression, his faced then went into one of worry, his eyebrow raising incredibly high even for him. "What's wrong? I haven't seen you this down since Arthur killed the unicorn."

"I-i don't know Gaius... I wish I did. Everything is so confusing these days..I just-" Merlin sighed heavily and helped with the tincture. "I feel like I'm being pulled in too many directions sometimes. Like no matter what I do I'll always be 'Merlin the screw-up' or 'Merlin, the servant with the undiagnosed mental affliction' ..."

Gaius and his apprentice shared a look and busted out laughing. "Remind me why you told Uther that again?" He said smirking slightly.

"Maybe you should go take a nap. We both know you deserve one." The old physician grabbed the tool from the warlock and dismissed him with a "good night."

Merlin reluctantly headed for his room and fell into a fitful sleep, unaware that his prince was in a similar state.

~The next day~

"Merlin...Meeeerrrllliiiinnn?" A soft voice called. Where was he? It's dark, like light never existed. He could feel dread enter his heart. "Who's there? What do you want from me?" He tried to look around the dark void his only reply was laughter. The world suddenly shaking and his name was being chanted. "Merlin. Merlin.. MERLIN!" The prince shouted. The sorcerer's eyes flew open to see his prince sitting on the edge of his bed looking frustrated.

"Arthur? What the-?" the color drained from Merlin's face as realization dawned on him that he must've slept through his morning duties, he quickly glanced out the window to find he wasn't supposed to be up for another half hour. "What's going on? Your never up this early... and you never come visit me?"

The prince scooted closer to Merlin and awkwardly gave him a half-hug while Merlin was laying, Merlin of course froze since he wasn't used to the gesture. As Arthur retreated with a slight guilty look on his face he muttered "Now I'm worried, you wake up early, you visit me, then you hug me?"

"I-it's come to my attention that I've made you feel unwanted. I wanted to apologize for my actions these last few days... I shouldn't have made you feel that way." His eyes pleaded for forgiveness and

Merlin's heart fluttered. 'Why is my heart beating so fast? It must be because he's never hugged me before..yeah that's it.' He sat up and smiled "Apology accepted. 'sides I've got nothing better to do. Unless I want a lecture from Gaius on anatomy." Merlin shuttered slightly from the ordeal. "I mourn my lost innocence from the last time." They chuckled slightly at the older man, he was nice and caring but boy get him started talking about his profession and you won't be going anywhere. "So what's on the to do list for today?"

"Well let's see, There's a counsel meeting regarding vandalism in the lower town, patrolling Camelot for that bandit that stole Morgana's necklace from her chambers, and the knights training at noon." Merlin looked up wearily at the prince " And my duties?" Arthur haughtily smirked and said "Why you will be beside me today. For the next three days if I don't have to do it, you don't have to do it. I already told that stable boy ..Chris was it? That if he took up your duties I'd personally promote him to a noble's servant." He raised from the scratchy thing his servant called a bed and threw some clothes at him "Now come on or we'll be late." And with that he was gone.

'Whoa what just happened? And what was with that weirdo dream? Oh well, might as well enjoy this Arthur before he goes back to being a Prat."

He quickly threw on his clothes and stared at his bed, raising his hand he muttered "Onstyrian, onbregdan!" and watched as his bed made itself.

"Merlin!" Arthur shouted.

"Alright alright already! Geez."

And with that Arthur's strange behavior began.

A/N: mmk mmk I know..probably not all that good.. if you have any suggestions I will gladly think about changing my writing style or something... and I couldn't figure out a way to translate spells into the spells Merlin uses so I ran it through a translator and turned the phrase Irish. Lol I also look it up on the Merlin list of spells on Wikipedia..so if it's wrong sowwy :,(

Translations.

"Arthur Pendragon a dhéanamh ar an grá atá dall a thabhairt duit dúisigh, nochtann an duine do chroí mian leis go fírinneach. Ná dhiúltú do chroí ar bith níos faide!"

"Arthur Pendragon make the love that's blind to you awaken, reveal the person your heart truly desires. Don't deny your feelings any longer!"

"Onstyrian, onbregdan!" (This one is from Merlin Wikipedia so it's the right language.)

"Move here!"
