Chapter 52- Hurt
That last question made pure pain shoot through Arthur's expression, before he ruthlessly controlled it and forced behind that mask of anger.
Merlin felt like he was shattering, from his hurt and from Arthur's.
Merlin was once again seeing the Arthur by that campfire asking what he had done wrong to make everyone hate him, the one who doubted himself so much that Merlin would do anything to bring his confidence back.
How could he convince this man he had hurt so badly that their friendship was real, that the only thing he had ever lied about was his magic?
