Merlin is owned by the BBC(:

Second chapter to this story, I'm sorry it's taken so long. I've had family issues to deal with, love dilema's to sort out (for myself, I'm nowhere near finished with that yet) and of course friend's to comfort. Song choice this time is 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now' by Starship. Enjoy(:

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now

The studies of magic started after the one night of great passion. A single candlelight flickered throughout the lesson, and a soft voice was always heard. That voice would be Merlin, speaking in a different language sometimes. Most of the time, he did speak in English, for when he was explaining what each spell meant.

Morgana remained close to his body, her head resting on his shoulder as she listened to his words. Her legs rested against Merlin's knees, feeling relaxed around him. "So, with this spell, I can change a flower into powder?" Morgana checked.

"Indeed it does." Merlin confirmed. He softly cleared his throat, breathing in. "It works the opposite way as well, but you would have to rearrange the first two words for that to work." Merlin explained.

"That sounds fabulous." Morgana commented. She lifted her head up, looking at him. "Could I try it?" Morgana asked him. Her green eyes glistened, pleading him to agree to her request.

Merlin closed the book so gently. "Yes, we'll give it a go." Merlin answered. He took a quick look at the candlelight, and then looked at Morgana. "Remember the words?" Merlin asked her.

Morgana moved herself so she sat next to Merlin, breathing gently. "I can remember some of the words." Morgana admitted. She felt so bad, Merlin was a fantastic teacher. "I hope you're not mad at me for forgetting." Morgana prayed.

Merlin smiled at her. "I cannot be mad at you, it's impossible." Merlin assured her. He cleared his throat, outstretching his hand which was closed at the moment. "Dustera." Merlin whispered. His eyes had changed to an amber colour, opening up his hand to reveal a mountain of powder in his hand. "Ready?" Merlin quizzed.

"Yes." Morgana simply responded. She took the powder carefully in her hand, looking at it and focusing. "Blostma…" Morgana started off. She was trying to remember the words. "Blostma… delta julis hominam dustera." Morgana finally chanted. Her eyes now turned in to an amber colour, a flower now in her hand. She smiled, looking at Merlin. "I did it." She whispered to him, feeling proud of herself.

Merlin smiled, she had done so well. "Yes you did it." Merlin agreed. He placed his hand underneath her hand. "Dustera delta julis hominam blostma." Merlin chanted. His eyes went back to the amber colour, the flower turning back into powder. Looking at Morgana, Merlin still smiled. "You just need to rearrange the words to do that." Merlin informed her. He moved his hand away, keeping his hand out for the moment.

Morgana placed the powder back in Merlin's hand. "Thank you, Merlin." Morgana started off. She kept her hand in his, smiling widely and sweetly at him. "I do wish that magic wasn't banned here, it's such a wonderful gift to possess." Morgana said.

"One day, magic will be restored." Merlin promised her. He kept a gentle grip on her hand, making sure he didn't let her go. "We will make this happen, I promise you." Merlin vowed.

"But what if there is no more 'us' after this?" Morgana queried. She became so close to tears, as many threats stood in the way of their relationship. "I mean what if Uther banishes or executes you?" Morgana asked him with worry in her tone.

Merlin reached out his free hand, touching her face. "That's not going to happen, I won't let it happen." Merlin confidently answered. The smile on his lips became softer, more calming. "We will always have each other." Merlin added on.

Morgana looked down for the moment, smiling as she listened to his promises. She really did have faith in him. "I believe you." Morgana said. She lifted her head back up, looking into his magnificent blue eyes. "You really mean this, don't you?" Morgana quizzed.

Merlin nodded his head. "It's something I won't deny you, Morgana." Merlin answered.

"You better keep to your promise." Morgana informed him. She wasn't threatening him at all; she just wanted him to confirm his words.

"I will, you have my word." Merlin honestly promised. He looked at the single candle, it was almost burnt out. "Morgana, the candle is almost out, I really should head back." Merlin told her gravely.

"Must you go?" Morgana asked him. She didn't want him to leave, she needed him right here right now.

"I'm sorry, but I must." Merlin responded. He stood up, feeling numbness in his legs. "I won't sit on my legs for a while, I can't feel them." Merlin announced. He started to jump around, trying to get some feeling back into them.

Morgana couldn't help herself but laugh at him. She was now lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling as she continued to laugh at him. Her arm went across her stomach, feeling her stomach begin to hurt from laughter.

Soon enough, Merlin sighed in relief. He heard Morgana's laughter, so he pounced on her, pinning her arms above her head. "Don't laugh, that wasn't funny." Merlin said.

Morgana looked up at him, a playful smirk stretching on her lips now. "Well I'm sorry, it was funny." Morgana insisted. Her eyebrow arched up slightly, hoping he would release her.

"I won't fall for that." Merlin assured her. He kept her arms pinned down, his body lying on hers so gently. "You have to convince me to believe in you." Merlin challenged.

Morgana managed to wiggle her wrists away from his hands, grabbing the back of his neck and bringing him even closer to her. Morgana had now kissed him, the passion now slipping out, hoping he would respond to her actions.

Merlin had kissed her back, moving his arms to a different position now. One arm went under her neck, the hand landing on her shoulder. His other arm went around her back, hand gently pressed flat against her back.

Morgana had soon pulled back for air. "So, are you going to stay?" Morgana asked him. She hoped he would stay with her, she truly did love him.

The candle had completely burnt out now, so darkness had appeared around the room now. Now that happened, Merlin didn't want Morgana to be left on her own. "Alright, I'll stay." Merlin vowed. He moved off from her, lying next to her, placing both of his arms around her waist. "I love you, forever and always." Merlin whispered softly to her. He kissed her neck several times.

Morgana smiled, feeling her skin tingle. "You will always be in my heart, Merlin. Nothing will stop us from loving each other." Morgana responded easily. She had the smile stuck on her lips, closing her eyes. She had drifted off into a light sleep, feeling Merlin's warmth surround her.

Merlin had also closed his eyes to drift off into an easy sleep, making sure Morgana was close to him.

So there you go, I hope you enjoyed that. Again, I apologise for the delays.
