The prompt here was from Alicia Jo, ""Honest people are never touchy about the matter of being trusted." Also, this is something that has been bugging me, so...here's a thought. Also, WOOHOO! Halfway there!
Merlin's always right.
Always. Whenever he says someone's evil or using magic or trying to kill Arthur, he's right.
And yet, Arthur always makes him prove it. He mostly trusts Merlin, but then again…
He thinks it's his desperation. The first time he didn't trust Leon, the older knight just sat back and let the prince learn the hard way.
Arthur hasn't doubted Leon since.
But Merlin…
Merlin was definitely hiding something. Whenever he insisted, "You can trust me," something in Arthur insisted he couldn't.
One day, Merlin won't worry about Arthur's trust. Then they'll both know he deserves it.
