Morgana leaned on Merlin with her backs, pushing her hips near his, grabbing his thigh with her delicate hand, feeling him beside her. Her dark, beatifull hair fell on his face, mesmeraising him, not allowing to breath anything but the sweet fragrance of her aroma.
"Morgana..." Merlin's hands moved around her, trying not to touch her in too much intimate way.
"Stop fidgeting" hissed Morgana, making sure the door to the closet they were hiding after sawing Jonas, lady Catrina servant coming back were closed. Both of them stopped moving, waiting, when they heard the menacing steps coming closer.
"Morgana" Merlin whispered to her ear, making her breaths go deeper and faster. "Locker is open."
Morgana looked at the small locker, where they have put falsified potion, after stealing the real potion that allowed the troll to remain in the form of lady Catrina. Morgana panicked for a moment, and increased her hold on Merlin's thigh, giving him a sign she needs help.
"Fýrbendum fæst" whispered to her ear Merlin.
"Fýrbendum fæst" mumbled Morgana, pointing her free hand in the locker's direction.
"Fýrbendum fæst" Morgana's voice showed a little sign of panic, when nothing happened. She focused one more time, feeling the pressure, knowing if she is not able to cast this spell, Jonas will recognize, that someone was looking through the locker where the troll was hiding all her magical tools.
"Fýrbendum fæst" Morgana's voice was starting to break down and the slow steps were coming closer. It was only the matter of moment, and he would be inside the room, with the locker opened, showing their work to false lady Catrine manservant.
"Fyr... Fyr..." Morgana's voice broke down, when Merlin's strong, reliable, yet definitely small as for a man's hands slowly placed themselfs on her.
"You can do it Morgana, Fýrbendum fæst one more time" lied confidently Merlin, focusing his eyes on the locker. He started to imagine the words, imagine what he wanted to do and what was the spell that was needed to be used.
"Fýrbendum fæst" whispered Morgana, while Merlin focused his mind. His eyes glowed a little, and locker closed itself the exact same moment Jonas, ugly manservant of the false lady Catrina walked inside the chamber.
Merlin's free hand moved higher, wrapping itself around Morgana's full, red lips, making her stay quiet, ensuring there was no happy 'yay', her trademark she showed whenever she was able to conjur magic with visibly success.
Morgana stiffened, feeling his hand on her mouth. Her eyes widened, and only by strong will she was able to not start breathing very hard, very fast and definitely very loud, regaining her calmness. For a moment, they were staying still, their bodies leaning together against eachother inside the cramped closet, waiting for when the quest room to be empty again so they would be able to leave without alerting anyone.
Morgana relaxed a little, leaning over her crime partner, allowing herself to relax a little. She didn't mind his hand blocking her lips, or his second hand on her back, touching her shoulder. She breathed slowly, feeling his scent, thinking for a moment about what they were doing, how close he was to her and how much she was counting on him. For almost a few months now he was teaching her whenever they could meet without arousing any suspicions over their 'quality time' they were spending together. She still could not understand all the things, and as for Merlin, she was extremely grateful to him. To her understanding, the main problem was that the Merlin wasn't able to conjur any magic, so his explanations were sometimes off and she needed to work some spells by herself, not relaying on his teaching. Still, it was him, who was running all around the library, reading every book he could find about magic, preparing his lessons for her, risking his life for her safety and satisfaction. Sometimes she was feeling guilty, other times, she was fearing he could be found out while making notes at the library, or stealing some books and executed so strongly, that her hands were starting to tremble. Whenever that happened, she knew she need to see him almost instantly, to make sure he was okay. It wasn't uncommon now that she was visiting Arthur or Gaius chambers, checking the library and looking around the town for the sight of Merlin. She was finding him usually doing one chore or another. All she needed was a glance, and then she was able to go back to her room and relax, thinking about what they have been practising so far and what was next lesson. She was catching herself often, admiring him. A simple manservant. No wealth, no family, almost no friends, at least none that would be of the same state. Almost anyone around him was a better man. Knights, royals, nobles, king adversaries, wealthy townspeople and merchants. And yet, he could read better then most of them. He was more resourceful then most of them. More smart, more hard working and more loyal. For a moment she was feeling dangerously envious of Arthur, who was always at first place, whenever or whatever happened. Athur this, Arthur that. Sometimes she was feeling sick, whenever Merlin was saying Arthur's name, knowing that means he would leave her and run to him, whatever happened. She accepted the fact, that she is jealous. She wanted to have a servant like Merlin and she was furious whenever Arthur mistreat him. Still, she was hiding that well. She never acted in his defense right away. On some level she could understand that her glances and constant attention she was demanding from Merlin was a big giveaway that something was going on and she couldn't bare any thought of Merlin being punished for her. She breathed his scent, feeling safe, calm. Her left hand started to move on his thigh and her femine fingers started to caress him for a moment, faking changing position due to tiredness. She couldn't even to start to imagine, how she could ever repay him for the things he does for her.

"Merlin, where were you?!" Morgana showed from the corner, almost headbutting with Merlin, who was running and throw himself to the wall so he wouldn't crash with her.
"Ugh" hissed Merlin, grabbing his left arm with his right hand with a painful expression on his face.
"You okay?" stressed over him Morgana, touching his arm with care, looking all over him with her beatiful, cold, blue eyes "Merlin, you look like a wreck, what have happened?"
"Got catched in something, why are you not delaying her, if Uther would just see her real form..." Merlin moved form the wall, still trying to massage his left arm. His clothes were all over in dirt and mud from the small chamber at the dungeons, where Jonas tried to imprison him after luring him there beforehand.
Merlin tried to say something more, but stopped, seeing as Jonas showed from the hall leading to the coronation room.
"Stop. Harassing. My. Mistress." hissed false manservant, throwing his right hand in their direction.
Merlin grabbed Morgana with his good hand, pushing her out of the harm way, just before the spell hit him, throwing him at the wall behind. He heard loud 'thoud', realizing, that the sound came from the back of his head and his hurt arm after encountering the stone wall behind him. The last thing he was able to see was Morgana swinging with something long and wooden at Jonas head.

"Merlin, my boy, are you alright?" someone's harsh hands opened his eyelids, then allowed them to close again.
"Merlin, please, say something" another, more pleasant, but full of panic voice stressed over his head.
"Merlin, stop being so utterly useless and open your eyes." Merlin's eyes opened at the sound of Arthur's voice.
"Ooo... uuu... re..." he tried to say something looking around, trying to find Arthur, but the only things he saw were Gaius white furrowed brows and full of falling out tears, terrified Morgana's pale face.
"What?"
"I believe the last two were 'you' and 'sire'" the other femine voice came from behind the Gaius. Sounded familiar.
"Well Merlin, if not for you trying to spy from my room at changing lady Catrine, we would never know. Talking about luck, huh? You had to be terrified when you saw her changing. Literally changing... What?" his head went from Morgana's lap to bench, hitting hard the wood. "What? Morgana?" The another last thing he remembered was hearing Athur's voice and then Gauis voice, stressing over something, and then someone was with him again touching him with delicate, warm hands, saying something about 'imsry' and 'sosry', just a moment before the darkness took him again.

"Gestepe hole! Þurhhæle!" tried Morgana fussing over Merlin's hurt arm. She put her delicate finger over his left arm, trying to make him feel better.
"Merlin, why did you jump at the troll, she could have killed you!' stressed Morgana, feeling his arm with her delicate, femine fingers. Merlin, even after being hit by Jonas spell found out the way, to remove the spell from Uther, risking Arthurs life. And even then, when everything was going according to the plan he jumped right in front of the troll, grabbing her armored with a long, dangerous knife arm, while having a slight concussion and his own left arm in the bandages, not allowing him to move it.
"Because" he smiled to her "it needed to be done."
She looked at him with angry eyes.
"Merlin, i saw you having consussion. You blacked out three times." She moved her hands next to his head "Gestepe hole! Þurhhæle!". Her eyes glowed a little with orange light. She let herself slip quiet 'yay', before continuing.
"Gestepe hole! Þurhhæle!" she put her femine, pale hands on his hurt arm again, trying her hardest, without luck. Her face showed irritation, when few next spells were with similar effects, not helping in any big way.
"It's okay Morgana, at least no one will suspect me of extremely fast healing abilities, that would come only from magic. And you are doing this from over three hours now. You should stop, you are exhausting yourself too much."
Morgana's irritated, tired and cold blue eyes looked at him, changing. She smiled at him, giving him one of those looks, showing how much she cared for him.
"Injured ones don't have a vote" she said cheekly, making him lie down in his bed "just lay down and relax, i've got this" she smiled with confidence, her blue cold eyes glowing with excitement.
Merlin let himself lay down, feeling the blackness taking him away. Again. When he opened his eyes Morgana was sleeping near his bed. Half of her body was on the floor, while another half was on his bed. Her arms were laying near her head and her black, beatifull hair were all over his bed, making an engrossing, intimate aroma. He pulled his hand over his head.
"Gestepe hole! Þurhhæle!" he whispered, feeling a little better.
He moved his hand near his arm, hesitating when his eyes landed on the young girl, laying near his bed. She must have been trying to heal him to the bitter end, when she just couldn't anymore and fell asleep. He moved his hand over her, whispering. His eyes glowed orange, and he fell on his bed again tired, while Morgana's body visibly relaxed.
"Morgana" he touched her with his right hand, shiking a little without paying attention to the pain he felt while moving.
"Mmmm... not yet Merlin..." she whispered, stretching herself in her sleep.
"Morgana, wake up" whispered Merlin.
She opened her eyes a little, and then straigtened her back, sitting on the floor.
"You fell asleep healing me, thank you."
"Oh, yes, don't worry" her cheeks reddened, and she got up, looking at him.
"Till tomorrow Merlin" she smiled, waiting till he smiled back at her.
"Till tomorrow, Morgana" he smiled back to her, making her smile in much more warmer way. She waved her hand at him and moved to the door. She smiled at him again, waving her small, delicate hand, before leaving him alone and going back to her own room in the keep.
