"Let me help you with that." Merlin and Mordred initially are just seeking someone to understand them, but they find much more than they were looking for. Follows the journey of Merlin and Mordred's progressing relationship: from unwilling acquaintances, to unlikely friends, to... something more? Merdred.

In which trust games are played, the future is undecided, and no one quite knows what Mordred is up to. Or, alternatively, an author allowing her imagination to run riot thanks to that scene with the cloak. Merlin/Mordred, eventually.

Prompt answer: Merlin honestly didn't even know he did it, until Mordred's glaring blue eyes caught his.
