Author's Note: Here's another one! I hope no one finds this too out of character, but I really think that Merlin does feel safe around Arthur. Or at least, as safe as he can feel while hiding his powers. He knows that when they're together they can conquer just about anything. There has to be security in that thought. Anyway, enjoy! Also, I'm starting to run out of drabble ideas, so anyone who can give me a prompt or a request or something would be greatly appreciated. Read and review!

Chapter 34: An Irrational Feeling of Safety
It was ridiculous how safe Merlin actually felt around Arthur.
Merlin was the one who was always saving Arthur's life, who could command a dragon, and who had defeated most of the magical threats they faced. Arthur had no chance against him.
When you added that to the fact that Arthur might really have him executed if he ever discovered any of these things, safe was the last thing he should feel.
The fact remained though that, aside from when he was around his mother or Gaius, Arthur was one of the few people around whom he felt truly protected.
