Also I wanna thank everyone who added this to their faves list, I've had quiet a few e-mails telling me just how many people have added it, since I uploaded this last night, I must say I never thought it to be this popular, this quickly, not that I'm complaining or anything, I'm just really happy :D Thanks for making me saturday so much bright you guys :)

Again let me know what you think and let me know of any spelling or grammar mistakes, most of them were taken care of in word, but you know what word is like, it never really notices them all and actually makes some of the mistakes if you don't pay enough attention.

Hours later Merlin woke to find himself on his Master's king size bed. As Merlin slowly came around he saw Arthur laying on the other size of the bed. Merlin's feet next to Arthur's head.

By the way Arthur was positioned; it was clear to Merlin, that Arthur had placed himself on the bed comfortably so he could take care of and look after Merlin until he awoke.

Merlin looked out the window to see the sun lowing in the sky, it was obvious to Merlin he'd been out for a least 4 hours, but the placing of the sun. Merlin's mind wondered to how he had come to lay in such a comfy bed (now Merlin knew why Arthur never wanted to get out of bed) that's when his head suddenly started to hurt again.

Merlin moved his hand that he hadn't realise Arthur was holding, the slight moving and the loss of a comfortable contact made Arthur to jump up awake, as he sat up straight, trying to get his bearing as he woke. He blinked a few times before he remember where he was.

That's when his attention came to a groaning Merlin, as he grabbed his head in agonising pain. Arthur put all his focus on his servant, who he was so desperately praying got better and also wondering what was taking Gaius so long as he mentally took a note of how many hours it had been.

Gaius had been away for a few days, visiting an old friend in an outskirt town of Camelot's boards and Arthur had ordered Gwen, who was the one who helped Arthur get Merlin on his bed, to send someone to fetch him right away, no matter how long it took them, he wanted Gaius there to take care of what Gaius called his 'son'

Arthur head started to race with questions of concern for Merlin, though even when he is in this panicked state Arthur couldn't bring himself to state the words he thought

'Merlin what's going on? Why does your head hurt? Where is Gaius when you need him? What is taking that messenger so long to get him back here... Merlin, please be okay' Merlin looked at Arthur in such shock it scared Arthur to think what caused such a look on his beloved Manservant's face.

Unbeknown to Arthur Merlin was hearing everything he thought. Arthur gave Merlin a confused look as he racked his mind for a reason for that look on Merlin's face. His curiosity getting the better of him he asked

"Merlin? Why are you giving me that look?" his thoughts mimicking his words. Merlin knew he needed to talk to Gaius, before he tried to come up with an excuse as to why he was in pain and as to why he could now understand every thought and word Arthur said.

But Merlin had to wonder is this sudden mind reading ability he's gained is part of his magic developing, Merlin also had to wonder if Mind reading was all he could do with his new involved magic. Merlin had been feeling as if he's magic was losing control for weeks and maybe his was meant to be the result and his wanting the ability is what triggered the development on it. Merlin put a defensive smile on his face as he denied everything.

"What look sire?... I was just wondering why I am laying in your bed?" Arthur thought because Merlin you belong there. Merlin's eyes widen at Arthur's thoughts, Merlin was going to have to get use to knowing Arthur in a more in depth way, but Merlin had to wonder what Arthur really meant by his last thought. Arthur then spoke

"Because I thought you would be more comfortable and I didn't exactly fancy carrying you all the way to Gaius's and plus I didn't know how long he was going to be, I sent someone to get him, he should be here soon." Merlin smiled at Arthur honest caring way, even if it just made Arthur seem as if he was too lazy to do something, Merlin could now tell by Arthur's thoughts, just how much he really cared. Merlin says

"Well Sire... I am feeling ok now,thank you" Merlin sat up, feeling his head throbbing but not wanting to be fussed over, the last thing he needed was Arthur thinking in detail about how he cared. Merlin felt as if he was invading privacy. But Arthur knew better than to believe his manservant's lies and everyone knew just how stubborn Arthur was when it came to just about everything he sets his mind to. Arthur pushed Merlin back down onto the bed with a thud. Merlin didn't struggle as he heard Arthur's words and thoughts

"You idiot... there must be a reason you hurt your head, so I'm not letting you leave this bed until Gaius gets here and says you are well enough" to be by my side again, where you belong "to polish my armour and tidy my room" Merlin on the other hand could get use to this, hearing every thought that Arthur didn't want Merlin to hear. . Merlin laughed lightly

"Thanks for your concern sire" Arthur's thoughts led him to smile his laugh is so cute, wow what Arthur don't think that As Arthur had an internal battle withing himself as to his feelings for Merlin. Merlin laughed and smiled and just layed there listening to the argument. Arthur then spoke

"No problem Merlin, you may be my servant but you are also my friend!" Merlin smiled and nodded at him, it was the only time he'd been so forward with calling him a friend. Merlin was internally grateful for the caring attitude Arthur had during this situation, cuz Merlin didn't know what he'd do if Arthur decided to have one of their 'insults' arguments with him, he's head was still hurting a little and he wasn't in the mood to argue.

There was a knock at the door, Gaius thoughts were brought to Merlin's mind he'd better not be mucking me about, that prince calls me over a stupid cold. Obviously the messenger hadn't been clear as to why he needed to come back. Merlin shouted through to door

"Come in Gaius and it's me that's sick" Gaius seemed shocked that Merlin could read the thoughts he didn't exactly want anyone to listen to. he opened the door to the princes chambers to find out exactly what was going on
