Definition of a Merlin Drabble

by Lya200

A drabble: a short work of fiction of around one hundred words in length. A Merlin drabble: pure chaos. How many adventures can occur in 100 words? Drabble 305: Arthur faces a guilty conscience as he takes an innocent life to keep the bandits from hurting his friend.

42. Your Secret's Safe With Me

What does boredom do to people? Cause them to spin around in a rolling chair with a laptop in their lap of course.

Somehow, magically, when I looked back over that sentence, I had no errors.

Disclaimer: Guess what guess what guess what! I don't own Merlin!

Let's Go On An Adventure

"Merlin!" Said warlock turned around to find Arthur stalking up towards him.

"Sire?"

Sigh. "I wanted you to know," Arthur looked down at his shoes nervously. "I wanted you to know that your secret's safe with me."

"Oh." Merlin beamed, cursing fate. "After my confession to the court, I think that everyone knows about my... feelings for Gwen."

"You idiot, I wasn't talking about that."

Merlin started to feel sick. "What?"

"Your-" Arthur waved his hands wildly and mouthed the m-word. "Yeah."

"Really?"

"Merlin, don't make me repeat myself."

Arthur walked off, and Merlin followed.

Am I the only one who thought that it was blatantly obvious that Arthur knew Merlin's secret during this episode? I guess that eventually he shoved aside that traitorous thought after "The Moment of Truth," but if you look at Arthur's facial expressions through this episode, you'd see what I mean...maybe.
