Depressione pt.10
😋 Hello, hope you are having a good day.
In the morning, Merlin woke up in his father's arms. He moaned causing Balinor to wake. He looked at Merlin.
"Hey, do you feel better?" Balinor wondered.
"A bit. I'm still tired and weak. My throat hurts." Merlin replied.
"I'll get you some water. Just get some rest."
"Ok."
"I'll be right back."
Balinor went to get Merlin some water. Merlin laid down and got some rest. He saw that Hunith was still in bed sleeping. He got up and went to her. He sat down on his parents' bed and touched his mother's shoulder. Hunith moaned and woke up. She saw Merlin and sat up.
"You feeling better?" Hunith asked. Merlin nodded. "What's wrong?"
"I need a hug." Merlin replied.
"Come here."
Hunith gave Merlin a hug. Merlin hugged back. Balinor came in and smiled.
"I have your water, Merlin." Balinor said. Balinor sat down and gave the cup to Merlin. Merlin drank what he could. When he was done, he gave the cup to Balinor. "I'll go get us some breakfast." Balinor kissed both Hunith and Merlin on the forehead and went to make breakfast. Merlin fell asleep on Hunith's shoulder.
"Hey Merlin." Gwaine loudly greeted as he walked into the room. Merlin jumped and woke up. He saw Gwaine and sighed.
"What?" Merlin sighed.
"I heard you had a bad night. I wanted to see if you were ok."
"I'm just really tired. You guys need to be quieter. I want to get some sleep."
"Ok. Hope you get better."
Then Gwaine left the room. Merlin moaned and fell back to sleep. When Balinor came back in with breakfast, Hunith was also asleep. Balinor smiled and kissed Hunith's cheek. Hunith woke up and sighed.
"I have breakfast. Should I wake Merlin?" Balinor whispered.
"Yeah. He needs to eat something." Hunith sighed.
"Ok."
So Balinor woke Merlin. Merlin moaned and tried to go back to sleep.
"Merlin, you need to eat. Then you can sleep." Balinor said. He picked Merlin up and woke him up. Merlin woke up and looked at Balinor.
"I don't want to eat. I'm so tired." Merlin mumbled.
"Well, you're going to eat."
The 3 ate breakfast. Merlin ate what he could and then went back to sleep.
"He only ate half his breakfast. Usually, he eats all of it. He really must be tired." Hunith sighed.
"Yeah. Viviene was always pure cruel. When Viviene was mad, she would always get her revenge. Let's hope she dies of old age." Balinor answered.
"She's after revenge for her daughters."
"Yeah. I think she was the one who poisoned Merlin. I wouldn't be surprised."
"Well, she knows how to make a mother very angry."
"And a father."
"If she hurts him again, I'll kill her."
"Me too. He needs peace not to have a death threat over him."
Hunith and Balinor finished breakfast and then went to work. Merlin slept most of the day despite the noise. When it was time for dinner, he was still asleep. Balinor and Hunith smiled when they saw him still sleeping.
"You wake him while I get his dinner. He needs to eat." Hunith whispered.
"Ok." Balinor answered. Balinor went to Merlin while Hunith got Merlin's dinner. Balinor shook Merlin gently. Merlin moaned and woke up.
"What?" Merlin moaned.
"You need to eat and then go sleep in your own bed."
"DO I have to?"
"Yes."
"I'm really tired."
"You're always tired."
Then Hunith came in with Merlin's dinner. Merlin ate what he could then went back to sleep. Balinor and Hunith ate dinner. When they sat on the bed and talked.
"He's so pale and tired but he's adorable." Hunith whispered.
"He'll soon return to his normal self." Balinor answered.
"I don't know if that person still exist. He's lost so much. Seen so much."
"Yeah but he'll be fine. We'll be able to help him. He'll need it."
"I'm so afraid that Viviene might hurt him again."
"Me too."
Then Merlin sighed in his sleep.
"Should we move him? I don't want to." Hunith wondered.
"Well, I can move his bed in here. Then move him to it so that he's comfortable." Balinor replied.
"Ok."
So Balinor grabbed Merlin's new bed and moved it into Hunith and Balinor's room. He moved so the bed so that it was a few feet away from Hunith and Balinor's bed. Then he put Merlin on the bed. Then covered him with the blankets. Merlin groaned and shifted in bed.
"I should go clean the dishes." Hunith said.
"Ok. I should get him more water. When he wakes, he'll be thirsty." Balinor answered. So they both went to work. Balinor got Merlin's cup of water and put it on the night table. Then he went to finish building the table. A couple hours later, Balinor and Hunith went to bed. For the next week, everyone except Merlin was busy. Balinor and the knights, finished, Merlin's room, the guest room, and two other bedrooms. Balinor put a bed next to the fireplace for Merlin. Merlin spent most of his time sleeping. One afternoon, he woke up and went into the main room. He saw the 4 bedrooms.
"Where are there 4 bedroom?" Merlin asked.
"Your mother and I want to have kids." Balinor replied.
"Good. I don't like being an only child."
"Go lie down on the bed. You look tired."
"Why are you so tired?" Hunith wondered.
"I haven't really slept peacefully in a few years." Merlin mumbled as he went to lie down on the bed. The next day, Leon, Percival, and Gwaine left.
"We'll come visit you soon." Gwaine said as he hugged Merlin.
"Thanks."
Then the three knights left.
