I love you!
These three words that weren't supposed to be said with Merlin knowing that Arthur could never feel the same about him,were said out of frustration towards the prince. Merlin was scared of how Arthur will react to him saying how he felt about him that he started running out of the prince's chambers. But was grabbed by his arm by Arthur, stopping him, bowed his head down, not wanting to look at him with fear of crying. After a few seconds, Arthur let go of Merlin's arm and grabbed his chin making him look at the prince with fresh tears rolling down his face and looking terrified.
Arthur frown wondering why his manservant was crying, lifted his hand slowly moving towards Merlin's face wiping away his tears. The prince gave him a small smile which only made Merlin cry more with pain and fear in his eyes. Arthur moved his hand away from Merlin's face onto Merlin's shoulders gently trying not to frightening him. The prince's frown turn into a small sad smile looking at his manservant with worry trying to think of something to have Merlin stop crying.
Merlin stepped away from Arthur, not looking at him, embarrassed knowing the prince knew how he felt about him. Arthur looked at him lost and confused with what was going on reaching out to his manservant trying to not have him leave but Merlin backed more away. He shook his head crying more than ever with trails of tears falling down his face feeling heartbroken. Merlin ran out of Arthur's chamber fast as he could not letting Arthur say a word or get him to stay any longer in the room. He left the prince in a confused and hurt haze not doing what just happened but feeling like he should have done something for Merlin to stay and tell him the truth about his feeling for him. But it was too late...
