I do not own Merlin
Just destiny
Arthur for the first time in six months come face to face with his ex-manservant. Memories of what happen six months ago. Memories Arthur wanted to forget, too black it out, never think about again, come flooding back. Six months ago the Merlin used magic. Six months ago Merlin had talk to a 'dead' dragon. Six months ago Merlin was banished.
"Alright, Arthur?" asked Merlin like he had never been away
Arthur didn't speck alone looking at Merlin is disbelieve. "...I banished you..." Arthur said tonelessly the knight just watched not sure what to do.
"I know I was there" said Merlin lightly but you could hear the hurt in his voice.
"You are in Camelot boarders" said Arthur using his 'king voice' "But the law of this land I should kill you" his hand rested on top of his sword.
"By the laws of the land. I should already be dead six months ago" said Merlin "But if you want to kill me now go ahead..."
Arthur took his hands off his sword "What's the point? You can stop it with a snap of your fingers"
Merlin rolled his eyes "Kill me" he said bluntly "I won't stop you. I'm not scared of dying"
Arthur took a step closer to Merlin "You lied to me" he said "The whole time you lie to me" then he turn and took a couple steps before Merlin spoke up.
"I didn't want to lie" he said quietly at everyone hear him "I hate the lying" Merlin closed his eyes "I lived a lie my whole life. You have not idea how that feels, being born with magic. Having to hid who I really am" Merlin open his eyes "I had to lie, look what happen when you found out. I lost my job, my home, my friends... you might as well kill me now"
Arthur looked Merlin right in his eyes and Merlin did the same wounding what the other was going to do. Neither Arthur nor Merlin moved until Gwaine spoke
"Merlin. Mate. I said once before you were my best friend that hasn't change" Gwaine looked at Merlin. He knew Merlin was different than everyone he ever meets. But having magic didn't change who Merlin was. Merlin nodded a thanks to Gwaine.
"I'm with Gwaine" said Percival "Merlin saved all of are life's, he didn't have too. But he did"
Leon step forward "Arthur, You are Uther Pendragon son. Merlin couldn't tell you"
"I know" said Arthur "I know why you did tell me." Arthur paused he wasn't as angry as he feel he should be part of him was glad Merlin was alive and well "What are you doing here, Merlin?"
""I doing What I always have done" said Merlin
"What's that?" asked Arthur
"Protecting you, Protecting Camelot" said Merlin "
"Why?" asked Arthur "I don't understand"
Merlin shrugged "I don't understand even. It's just destiny"
All done hope you enjoy
